Rahway Tree Removal Contract Draws Competing Concerns centraljerseyan.com/rahway-tree-...

Upon closer inspection I was giving them too much credit by assuming it was pipe and drape. There’s no piping. They just tossed curtains haphazardly over that shit.

Trump is posting a bunch of photos without captions, presumably of him watching the Maduro kidnapping. Is this the inside of a SCIF at Mar-a-Lago or did they just toss up some pipe and drape?

Dog ain’t gonna wag itself.

This new rule will affect mail in ballots

Another "special" meeting in Rahway... tonight on Zoom. At least this was announced well in advance. us02web.zoom.us/j/8388479662...

I love the total lack of shame it takes to hold an emergency city council meeting in the dead of night between Christmas and New Year's, but these people did the same thing during severe citywide flooding over the summer centraljerseyan.com/rahway-city-...

"The meeting, held during the holiday season, lasted just over 10 minutes and featured no public comment." Sounds pretty on brand...

Another example of NJ’s political corruption tax: #Piscataway’s Mayor using public resources to try to shame 2 Council members for voting against a terribly written, overly broad ordinance that empowers police to assess huge fines and decide free speech issues. What a waste of our tax dollars!

Yes, please.

Sen. Andy Kim renews call to close Delaney Hall as advocates decry worsening conditions, lack of proper shelter for visitors

This again. OSC IS the State’s Inspector General. This sounds like a backdoor attempt to do what Sen. Scutari was blocked from doing because of the public outcry. newjerseymonitor.com/briefs/nj-se...

And then there were eight... #NJ7

We are horrified and heartbroken by the mass shooting at a Hanukkah celebration in Australia. Our hearts are with our Jewish brothers and sisters around the world. We must do everything in our power to fight back against antisemitism and hate in all its forms.

Psst... Rahway and nearby, come join us!

A reminder that most Americans who are life-long citizens have nothing OTHER than a Real ID to prove their citizenship. This is CBP’s chief enforcer saying that ID doesn’t count.

"I think it's an overreach. And that's just me." the way you should see this, imo, is New Jersey's other Democratic bosses (and Scutari is a dual-purpose boss as Senate President and Union County boss) deciding Nick Scutari needed to be humbled.

Scutari's backed down... for now!

Rahway City Council will hold their monthly meeting tonight, Monday, 12/8 @ 7 pm. Meeting agenda/packet: www.rahwaynj.gov/AgendaCenter... Meeting livestream: nj-rahway.civicplus.com/268/Rahway-T... Videos of past meetings: www.youtube.com/@CityofRahway

A cozy Sunday in a historic Scotch Plains venue... Hope that you're able to join us. Come ready to share your thoughts and ideas, we'll supply the tea and cakes!

Appalling disrespect from Chairman Beach AND our own LD22 representative, Senate President Nick Scutari... not just towards those appearing to speak at the hearing, but towards all us who expect accountability and transparency from our government.

"Even for New Jersey, known for in-your-face politics and aggressive confrontations, the state Senate hearing December 1 on a bill curbing oversight by state watchdog agencies was over the top."

Time to call your state reps

Bill to strip New Jersey comptroller’s powers advances after chaotic, unanimous committee vote Opponents of the bill were frequently silenced, while supporters were allowed to speak as long as they wanted.

I like how Scutari is on the edge of the picture acting all ominously like what’cha gonna do, be MORE anti-open government

Testimony starting now, Scutari at the mic...

The first hearing on this bill is Monday. Introduced 2 days before Thanksgiving, insuring a small audience. Forces stakeholders who disagree to prepare over a major family holiday weekend. Scutari did not have to do it this way. He chose to.

NEWS: A unanimous Third Circuit panel rules that Alina Habba is not U.S. Attorney, cannot be Acting U.S. Attorney, and cannot have the powers delegated to her. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Live hearing...Scutari's bill (S4924) to further gut governmental accountability in NJ is last on the agenda. www.njleg.state.nj.us/live-proceed...

Fellow residents of District 22 (North Plainfield, Plainfield, Scotch Plains, Fanwood, Clark, Winfield, Rahway, Linden, Cranford, Roselle Park), contact Senate President Scutari and tell him to back down:

Heads up, New Jersey!

How about some lame duck to follow your turkey? "A public hearing on the bill is set for 10 a.m. Monday before the Senate’s state government committee at the Statehouse in Trenton."

Another restaurant owner stood up to ICE. She refused to let fear win. Her courage reminds us that ordinary people still hold the power to stop injustice in its tracks. When we speak up, we protect what’s right. #ICEOut

"They found that states with more newspapers per capita were significantly more likely to thoroughly comply with records requests, as were states with stronger state press associations. rq1.substack.com/p/the-11-typ...

Another Union County embarrassment!

New Jersey politics is almost uniformly pro-corruption because even the people who aren't personally doing corruption spend their free time schmoozing with people for whom public corruption is their livelihood, and so things like public records requests and watchdog agencies are just so burdensome

Open Letter to NJ State Senator Nicholas Scutari Requesting the Immediate Withdrawal of S-4924 nj21st.com/2025/11/26/o...

bill's here and it's goddamn wild. it guts the Comptroller, shifts its responsibilities to the machine-controlled State Commission of Investigation, and gives SCI the power to obstruct federal investigations and interfere with state and county prosecutors' handling of public corruption cases

And now, late at night before the holiday, the bill to gut the comptroller has dropped. Sponsored by Sen. Nick Scutari, whose buddies who run Union County were investigated by the comptroller. jerseyvindicator.org/2025/11/17/n...

Scutari gonna Scutari! "But rather than have any Senate examination of the problems raised by these investigations, Scutari wants to shut them down. And a lame duck session, when legislators and an outgoing governor might be more willing to make deals, may provide that opportunity."

Rahway City Council will hold their monthly meeting tonight, Monday, 11/10 @ 7 pm. Proud to say that a resolution to support the Immigrant Trust Act (S-3672, A-4987) is on the agenda! Meeting packet: www.cityofrahway.org/AgendaCenter... Meeting livestream: nj-rahway.civicplus.com/268/Rahway-T...

"'Incredibly relieved. We were worried it was maybe not going to go this way,' said Lisa Vandever, co-founder of Indivisible Rahway, a progressive group that organized local rallies during the race. She said she was also pleased to see Sherrill lift Democrats down the ballot."

Big shout-out to @njspotlightnews.org for their election coverage tonight! Obviously not going to get this attention from the national outlets, glad to get this in-depth look at our local races. (Note to our elected... please keep/resume funding public broadcasting!)
