As NJ families rightly worry about rising healthcare costs, we will not tolerate health insurers defrauding the State and overcharging us for healthcare for our dedicated public servants. My team will hold anyone accountable—no matter how big or powerful they are. www.njoag.gov/ag-platkin-h...

LIVE at 11:00AM: Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin to Announce Historic False Claims Act Settlement Regarding Health Benefits. Stream here: njoag.gov

Platkin: They didn’t go to the mat to make sure people could eat. They didn’t go to the mat to make sure people could afford their health care. But they sure as hell made sure they could make hundreds of thousands of dollars on our backs based on some bogus theory of how they were harmed.

AG Platkin: I went to law school, I chose to go into public service, I took the same oaths these folks did. What part of that oath says "You will use the privilege of power that you have to starve children"?

Today we announced charges against 14 defendants for their roles in a multimillion-dollar illegal sports betting ring. Organized crime may evolve, but our message is clear: we will pursue and prosecute those who break the law. www.njoag.gov/fourteen-peo...

Now that the shutdown is over, the Trump Admin has confirmed they are backing down from their cruel threats to take away SNAP benefits from NJ residents. Thanks to our lawsuit, NJ SNAP users were able to access benefits during the shutdown. We will always fight for NJ.

Great conversation with Jersey's own @eliehonig.bsky.social. We talked about the evolving role of prosecutors, the importance of justice and accountability, and the lessons public service can teach us all. Insightful and inspiring.

NEW: A federal judge has stopped the Trump Admin’s threats to go after states like NJ that followed USDA’s guidance and made SNAP benefits available to families. NJ residents continue to have full access to their Nov. SNAP benefits. We won’t stop fighting to keep it that way.

Appreciated the opportunity to meet with the Trenton Capital City Community Coalition to discuss ongoing efforts to reduce gun violence, expand community partnerships, and strengthen trust between law enforcement and residents. Building a safer, stronger Trenton remains a top priority.

Everyone in this country—no matter where they come from—is entitled to due process. The Trump Administration’s expansion of expedited removals threatens that fundamental right, and we’re fighting back.

850,000 New Jerseyans use SNAP—350,000 are children. The Trump admin. has leveraged the full legal might of our government to deny them food. We stopped them in court, and they told us they’d comply and fund SNAP. Now they're trying to take it back. This is why we are fighting.

Today we honor the brave servicemembers who have served our nation with courage and sacrifice. To all New Jersey veterans and their families—thank you for your service and your continued contributions to our communities.

Statement from Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin on Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman.

LIVE at 12:45PM: Attorney General Platkin to Hold Virtual Press Conference on Protecting SNAP Benefits. Stream here: www.njoag.gov

After @usdagov.bsky.social had to comply with an order to fully fund SNAP, they demanded that states undo SNAP benefits that are feeding New Jerseyans right now. We have already secured an order barring the Trump Admin from their illegal actions. We’ll continue to fight this in court.

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Sonia Das. Sonia dedicated her life to public service, making New Jersey a better place through her sharp mind, her integrity, and her kindness. Our thoughts are with her family and all of her loved ones. newjerseyglobe.com/in-memoriam/...

NEW: The Trump Admin has admitted they must comply with yesterday’s court order and issue full SNAP benefits for November. Recipients should confirm balances and monitor NJSNAP.gov. We’ll continue fighting to protect NJ residents and make sure they don’t go hungry. www.njoag.gov/wp-content/u...

This case is about more than car thefts—it is about robbing people of their sense of security and safety. We are using recently enacted laws to charge criminals who invade homes to steal key fobs so that they can steal cars, a dangerous escalation of car thefts. www.njoag.gov/four-men-ind...

Today, I am happy to announce that Mike Walters becomes the Director of the Division of Law, after serving in the role as acting director for nearly a year. I’m thrilled he will continue leading the hundreds of dedicated public servants in the Division. www.njoag.gov/ag-platkin-n...

A judge has agreed with us that the Trump Admin's freeze of SNAP benefits is illegal—and has now ordered the feds to fully fund SNAP. We will never back down from the fight for NJ families, and we look forward to ensuring the Admin’s compliance with this order.

Nancy Pelosi changed the face of American politics. A trailblazer, a master legislator, and a force for progress—she shattered ceilings and never backed down. Her legacy will inspire generations to lead with courage and conviction.

NJ has been leading the way on environmental justice for the past eight years. Proud to announce five enforcement actions and two settlements with the NJ Department of Environmental Protection to redress harms in overburdened communities. www.njoag.gov/ag-platkin-a...

Great conversations with students at @acslaw.bsky.social's chapter at Rutgers Newark. We had a meaningful discussion about the challenges facing our justice system and the importance of public service in meeting them. I’m encouraged by the passion these future lawyers bring to the work ahead.

The defendants allegedly took advantage of a genuine need and public interest in renewable energy to trick investors into believing their company was a valuable and legitimate business. Instead, they allegedly used the company to take millions of dollars from investors.

Congrats to Assemblyman-elect Andrew Macurdy! A tremendous human being, friend, and former senior counselor in our office. Looking forward to your leadership in LD21 and seeing the positive impact you will undoubtably have. newjerseyglobe.com/campaigns/de...

Congrats to Governor-elect Mikie Sherrill on her victorious campaign! We will do everything we can to ensure a smooth transition for her incoming administration. Voting is our fundamental right as Americans, and tonight, New Jersey decided its future.

Today Lt. Governor Way and I visited the NJ Regional Operations & Intelligence Center where personnel are on hand to monitor and protect the integrity of our elections. Thank you to all staff across New Jersey working around the clock today to ensure the integrity and safety of our elections.

We're alerting NJ residents of potential scams targeting SNAP recipients amid the government shutdown. Do not respond to any calls or texts asking for your EBT card number or PIN. www.njoag.gov/ag-platkin-d...

Failure to respond quickly and properly to a resident in need of care is not only wrong but may constitute a crime. The behavior described in the indictment goes beyond mere neglect. We will not allow conduct like this in our care facilities. www.njoag.gov/group-home-o...

Statement by Attorney General Platkin on Federal Government Partially Releasing SNAP Funds. For information about food assistance, please visit nj211.org/njsnap

The Public Service Loan Forgiveness program has long supported hardworking public servants in law enforcement, health care, education, and more. Now the Trump Admin is illegally limiting eligibility for this critical program based on political ideology. We’ll see them in court.

Honored to receive the 2025 NJ Food Council Law Enforcement Award alongside our dedicated law enforcement partners at the Northeast Regional Loss Prevention Conference. We’re cracking down on retail theft to protect NJ's workers, businesses, and communities.

Statement from AG Platkin on Securing Order Requiring Federal Government To Use SNAP Contingency Funds.

Thanks to @govmurphy.bsky.social for stepping in to support SNAP recipients in light of the Trump Admin’s reckless and illegal decision to cut them off. We’ve challenged this illegal decision in court and won--and we'll do everything in our power to keep food on the table for NJ families.

Two federal courts have just ruled that the Trump admin unlawfully refused to fund SNAP payments, and that it must report back Monday on its plans to distribute funds. We are working closely with @govmurphy.bsky.social to ensure food access for our kids, seniors, and families.

We’re suing the Trump Admin to restore access to SNAP benefits, and @govmurphy.bsky.social has rushed resources to food banks. NJ families deserve better. We won’t stop fighting until we secure SNAP benefits for recipients across NJ. www.msnbc.com/chris-jansin...

Did you know most Americans don’t even have a name for the night before Halloween? Not in New Jersey. This Mischief Night (and tomorrow), drive slow, stay alert, and watch out for little Jersey Devils on the move!

An independent Federal Reserve is critical to our economy. Trump's illegal attempt to remove Lisa Cook from the Fed's Board is undermining the Fed's independence and our economy. We are making clear to SCOTUS that we stand with Governor Cook in defending the Fed's integrity.

SNAP feeds over 800,000 New Jerseyans. Congress set aside contingency funds for moments like this—and the law is clear: they must be used. Weaponizing access to food is unconscionable. We’re suing to make sure our most vulnerable, children and seniors, can still eat.

In New Jersey, our election officials are working tirelessly to protect the integrity of our elections. Thank you for all you do to ensure that our elections continue to be free and fair. We’ve got your back.

TRIO programs ensure that students from low-income backgrounds have access to higher education. Now the Trump Admin is attempting to gut this critical program. Proud to support the effort to stop these unlawful and reckless cuts.

The Trump Administration’s illegal attempt to suspend funding for SNAP is as unlawful as it is inhumane. SNAP serves over half a million children and elderly people in NJ. We are suing to protect NJ families and keep them from slipping into hunger. www.njoag.gov/attorney-gen...

On #NationalFirstRespondersDay, we thank our police, firefighters, EMTs, and 911 operators who answer the call every day. Their bravery, sacrifice, and dedication keep all of us in New Jersey safe.

We filed two major lawsuits against @amazon this week. A trillion-dollar giant putting profits over people and exploiting its workers is abhorrent. In Jersey, we stand up for workers. No company is above the law.

We’ve hit the point where the Trump Admin. is putting vulnerable American kids & families at risk of going hungry. 22 AGs and I are demanding to know their plans when food benefits lapse because of the government shutdown. I will never stop fighting for New Jersey.
