we need fascism because kids are doing wheelies

The philosophical justification for what’s happening in DC is basically this Reddit post

don’t let taylor swift distract you from the epstein files

When lawmakers pull a Friday afternoon news dump, all but negating this week's podcast episode. 🙃

"We're just trying to show people the effort it takes to find out basic public information." With that very generic statement, we could be talking about ANYTHING related to state gov't. Any guesses? New episode of Hey, NJ drops Monday! @njspotlightnews.org

Happy b’day, “American Idiot” — released as a single 21 years ago today, and written in the wake of the Iraq War. “The country had gone into a war based on lies,” said Billie Joe Armstrong, “and no one seemed to care. .. It was a song that came from a very honest, pissed-off place.”

show me Joel Embiid dunking on a 10-year-old

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

“Have you heard the good moose?”

Big news! We've booked our first-ever, non-NJ Spotlight News employee to be a guest on Hey, NJ! Think you know who it is? Drop your guesses, and find out if you're right during Monday's episode...🤔

you know how your 20s are all about figuring out life and making mistakes and yada yada? has anyone figured out how to do that while all of *gestures* THIS is going on?

Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

this is one of my favorite stories AGH adopt, don't shop. www.njspotlightnews.org/video/ahs-ne...

Honestly, stop asking people who are already doing a ton of work to do more.

The world is letting them

ICE is expanding its footprint in NJ. What does that look like and what does it mean for the region? @bhulac.bsky.social explains on this week's episode of "Hey, NJ."

i love playing “is there a crying dog on this train or is it just the brakes?” when i ride nj transit

You can see my North Jersey showing (CUPS froyo 4ever) but don't miss a new episode of "Hey, NJ" on Monday.

we're at this stage where being a open racist or fascist is completely acceptable in many *online* contexts and within the Republican Party, but still unacceptable to most employers

Today would be a great day to support @njspotlightnews.org

the coolest part about the elmo hacked posts is that the most insane people online are treating elmo like he’s a real guy

got my first youtube comment about my appearance today our lil podcast has made it 🥹

The official account of the popular children’s show character was targeted in a cyberattack, the Sesame Workshop said.

Sometimes you think sports can’t surprise/astound/shock/delight you anymore. And then a soccer team decides to send a 700-pound pigeon floating down a river in New York City

me: “i need to get off social media and do something positive for my mental health.” also me:

I feel like the richest man in the world turning the 8th biggest website on the internet into a full on Nazi AI chatbot should be a bigger news story. Or a news story at all. Oh well, guess I'm wrong

Whether it's Ocean City or Wildwood, Point Pleasant or Seaside, if you plan to visit the boardwalk this summer, or you just did, you're going to want to check out the latest episode of the @njspotlightnews.org Hey, NJ podcast.

FYI Bookshop.org has anti-prime free shipping rn!

Weird how the new concentration camp immediately started doing all the same things the old concentration camps did.

"Along the way she’s making the argument that her social media skills aren’t just part of a campaign strategy, but necessary to communicate the politics of the party as the electorate grows younger and more disillusioned." via @19thnews.org

Enjoy our lil teaser this Fourth of July weekend and come back to reality on Monday with a new episode of "Hey, NJ." Sunday scaries are going to be brutal this week. We'll try to keep your Jersey Shore daydreams last just a little longer.

Good morning 🫡

I need this book! Lol 😅🤣😂

So many innocent people are going to die here during Hurricane season... #AbolishICE

what, and I can't stress this enough, the fuck is going on

Literal cages. Not even metaphorical ones. Literal ones.

It's new Fiscal Year Eve in NJ, so why not celebrate by listening to the latest episode of the @njspotlightnews.org Hey, NJ podcast, where we dig into what I'll call NJ's late-June budget-approval urgency and opacity.

it doesnt have to be this way... and yet... youtu.be/EUQTnT-qtB0

t-minus 40 minutes until you get to hear what I'm reacting to on "Hey, NJ" (yes, I'm still up editing... it'll make sense when you listen to the episode!)

i like to believe this played some part in cuomo’s loss

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

i’ve officially slipped into the stage of insanity where i can’t stop listening to huey lewis and the news????? sos

The "last week in June" portion of NJ's budget process is playing out as we speak and, boy, has it ruffled some feathers... ... so why not talk about it on "Hey, NJ?" @johnreitmeyer.bsky.social joins the pod this week to talk all about the circus leading up to July 1. LMK if you have questions!

NJ budget bill will be voted on at 8 p.m. Friday...

LOVE a good budget meme

Andrew Cuomo gets publicly humiliated. Bill Clinton learns his endorsement is worth less than dogshit. What a great time to be a hater. A golden age.

25+ million dollars. A former president. Some of the richest people in the US. The entire liberal and conservative political establishment. And Zohran Mamdani — and all the people behind him — beat it all.

If you're a lower-level politician thinking about taking on a well-known establishment Democrat, keep in mind that no one had heard of Zohran Mamdani a month ago. A little enthusiasm and a spine beats big money in 2025.

NEW YORK (AP) — Andrew Cuomo concedes New York City Democratic mayoral primary to Zohran Mamdani.
