You know things have to change when your Democratic US Senator, Democratic Congresswomen & Democratic State Senator all come to town to campaign against incumbent Democratic local officials.

open.substack.com/pub/njdemocr... Bloomfield is leading the way in Essex County NJ and I’m proud to be a part of it. Along with my running mate, Karen Banda, I’m running for District Leader against Mike Venizia. We’re trying to put an end to “machine politics” in Essex County, NJ.

California is blue and therefore is constantly targeted with fraud claims, but available data suggests healthcare fraud is far more prevalent in Texas and Florida than in California. Not something you'll ever hear on Rupert Murdoch TV, of course. BTW, why does Rupert live in California?

THIS.

I continue to stand with the Ukrainian people in their fight for freedom, and I will continue to push the Trump Administration to stop ingratiating itself to the bloodthirsty Putin regime. Ukraine deserves unity, sovereignty, and security.

Donald Trump will HATE this ad when he sees it during the Olympic hockey final. Let’s win gold. And then win back our country. LFG USA 🏅🔥🇺🇲

Frank Pallone has been an excellent congressman from the Middlesex County region of NJ for many years. Please repost this to get the word out of what is happening not only in NJ, but in other parts of the country as well.

TRIGGER WARNING, because here is a US Marshal from Trump‘s Gestapo Force in Memphis kicking a puppy today in the Whitehaven neighborhood and breaking its rib. They were serving a warrant and I guess BIG MAN got scared of the schnauzer. (I didn’t take the video, the dog’s person did)

My office has been flooded with reports of the cruel, unsafe, unlawful conditions inside of the Whipple detention facility in Minneapolis. This weekend, I was finally granted access to perform oversight of the facility. youtu.be/0SxPn8n2Bfg

I saw Tom Malinowski tonight in Bloomfield, NJ. He’s running in the NJ 11th Democratic primary for Mikie Sherrill’s old seat. He’s being targeted by AIPAC who are running an onslaught of negative ads that completely distort his voting record. AIPAC is sending a message to all Democratic candidates.

For the first time in history, the archbishop responsible for U.S. service members said officers may be morally obligated to disobey a sitting president’s orders. Broglio said a Trump-ordered invasion of Greenland would violate Catholic teaching and that Catholic troops could refuse to comply.

Great article that’s worth your time.

This is absolutely chilling…

The New York Jets are on the list? The 0-7, haven’t won a Super Bowl since 1969, no winning seasons since 2010, Woody Johnson’s teenage boys running the franchise, York Jets are helping to finance the demolition of the East Wing of the White House? Talk about bad Karma! The Ballroom is doomed!

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

Canada vs. America

Pete Buttigieg WARNS America: “They didn't stop at the law firms. They didn't stop at the Universities. They didn't even stop at the comedians. They are NOT going to stop until they have TOTAL POWER!."

www.nytimes.com/2025/09/19/u... The whole administration under Trump is thoroughly corrupt.

Everyone should retweet this and get it out there so that the loyal opposition shows it colors next month. If you believe in democracy and believe it’s threatened, you need to show up.

All hail VICTOR!!! He's a real-life hero whose selflessness & courage is an inspiration to us all. Wishing you a complete & speedy recovery. I salute you, sir! 🫡

Looked at my data collections for state-backed activity. If the report were a picture:

Trump makes working Medicaid recipients jump through bureaucratic hoops to maintain health benefits, but cuts IRS enforcement of a Biden era rule that would collect $100 Billion in tax revenue from the richest Americans. Yeah, GOP is definitely the party for working Americans…

Trump Administration Halts I.R.S. Crackdown on Major Tax Shelters for Private Equity, Venture Capital, Oil & Gas & more.. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/09/b... how better to bankrupt the US? #loligarchy

Just curious…Do you think the DOJ is going to launch an investigation into the the cabinet secretaries who did the same thing? Don’t hold your breath. Trump Administration Live Updates: Justice Department Opens Criminal Investigation of Fed Board Member www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

Please read the the attached article by Stephen Miller’s uncle. It tells a wonderful story of the Miller family’s assimilation into America, and why that would not have been possible if someone like Stephen Miller was in charge of immigration policy back then.

Best one for today!! Excellent.

Trump meets his Case Officer tomorrow in Alaska. Choose all that apply: 1. Trump trades Alaska to Putin in exchange for the rights to build a hotel in Moscow 2. Putin takes Ukraine, most of Europe; Trump gets Luxembourg 3. Putin “guarantees ” EU security in exchange for Ukraine 4. Trump gets lost

www.nytimes.com/2025/08/13/u... Welcome to Trump’s America, where you get pardoned for ransacking the Capitol while trying to overturn a valid election, but get charged with felony assault for throwing a sandwich at a policeman…

Just an honest labor statistician collecting the data, crunching the numbers, and reporting them fairly, and definitely not an extremist ideologue with an axe to grind, unshackled from respect for the law or political norms.

As a resident of NJ, I’m so proud that Andy Kim is one of our two great Senators.

Yeah, I’ve always thought about that too.

www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/u... We are fast approaching “failed state” status, if we’re not yet there already. Decisions made in Texas by the GOP majority in the legislature may accelerate the process…

Some of the very best criticism of Trump often comes from conservatives. How conservative is Peter Keisler? Democrats sent his nomination to the Federal bench back to G. W. Bush not once, but twice. You won’t find a better critique of Trump’s DOJ than this video. www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontli...

I love this post!

Who’s writing the headlines for the NYT, Fox News? Instead, how about: “Trump and GOP block California’s transition to Electric Vehicles” Or, better yet: “Trump & GOP’s ties to big oil block Greenhouse Gas reductions in California”

One can only hope that intimidation always fails…
