Wait a second. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth called you to give you your job at a private news outlet back? OANN, anyone care to explain the government's role in your hiring decisions or do we need to FOIA to find out?

For years, city school officials have celebrated what they called a dramatic turnaround in a once-struggling district — pointing to a nearly 35-point jump in graduation rates in a school where half of students once failed to earn a diploma. #Education #NewJersey www.app.com/story/news/i...

When you’re a parent, you literally say sentences that you never thought you’d say outloud and you have thoughts that sound insane if written down. Such as; I hurt my back helping my son poop on the potty. Yes it was a big poop. 💩 Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

The city says the Asbury Park Housing Authority is holding up the redevelopment of Lincoln Village and a neighboring vacant lot commonly known as "Home Plate" because the housing authority wants to build more #affordablehousing than was agreed to in 2023 www.app.com/story/news/l...

ICYMI I wrote this before the current administration rolled back civil rights protections under the guise of DEI

A couple months later and LA is…

The Asbury Park Housing Authority's redevelopment plan for affordable housing now proposes 189 units, exceeding the initially agreed 132. Funding for the increased number of units remains unclear, potentially causing further delays. #affordablehousing www.app.com/story/news/l...

I don’t know anyone who wanted to start another regime change foreign war. Like I know a lot of different people, with various political perspectives and none of them, even the ones who disagree with me all the time, wanted that when they voted last November.

Springwood Park was crowded with a diverse crowd. People from all walks of life were there to voice their displeasure with President Trump. Resist, 86-47 and Small Dictator Energy are common signs and slogans besides No Kings. Everyone was in seemingly good spirits. www.app.com/story/news/p...

Can I get a big ol’ lol in the chat?

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

People who never read complain the most about books

If you’re so far right that the Pope is radically left of you ….. lol

Trump is trying to stifle free speech.  He's attacking the press. He's kidnapping U.S. residents and sending them to foreign prisons without due process. When asked if he would uphold the Constitution, he says "I don't know." If this isn't dictatorship, I don't know what is.

We don’t need an oligarch that has been taught that leadership is his right. We need a leader that knows that the office is his duty, that a President must put his people first, and live and rule for them….. wait

I’m getting “pre-tariff pricing” ads now.

Did Trump just go full authoritarian? www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes. We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

The New York Times’ Glenn Thrush says that while Attorney General Pam Bondi offered her personal sympathy to Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro over the arson attack, she refuses to label the incident as domestic terrorism—even though she labels attacks on Tesla property as domestic terrorism.

Huh

I really can’t believe the DoD called Jackie Robinson, the Tuskegee Airman and the Navajo code talkers “DEI” and “woke cultural Marxism” That’s just racism.

We hope this contract serves as inspiration for other Gannett workers to stop asking nicely and begin using their collective power to demand what they deserve. Solidarity forever!

This is a historic moment for our newsrooms. We’ve won a contract that not only gives many of our members life-changing raises and job security provisions, but raises the floor for what’s possible in a Gannett newsroom.

It’s official: We have a contract! APP-MCJ Guild members overwhelmingly approved our new contract with a 97% ratification vote and 92% turnout. We’re also thrilled that our comrades and strike vote siblings in the Hudson Valley News Guild also ratified their contract today.

With 51 votes (and counting), Senate Republicans have passed their measure to effectively legalize debanking, after pretending to care about the issue to gin up their base. It's up to a handful of House members now to stop it.

ICE had conducted operations within Asbury Park and the surrounding areas, according to the Asbury Park Police Department, as of Jan 29. One parent dropped their child off at Bradley Elementary School, and when the parent returned home, they were detained by ICE agents www.app.com/story/news/e...

Putin at least had some flowery language around sovereignty and nato and such when he invaded. He didn’t realize he could just say he was going to take eastern Ukraine and redevelop it and “cherish” it and it would be great
