Shooting tear gas and rubber bullets into groups of peaceful protesters and journalists doesn’t promote law and order—it is authoritarian and oppressive. We’re standing up against these outrageous attacks on our fundamental constitutional rights. www.nj.gov/oag/newsrele...

Proud to announce that @sanders.senate.gov is endorsing our campaign for Congress! I worked with Bernie in 2020 for the same reasons I'm running now: to un-rig the economy and make it work for working people, not billionaires and corporations. A better world is possible. Let's win this.

I am ecstatic that @analiliafornj.bsky.social is running. I have met her recently. Not only her experience and background are amazing. But she has the most compelling story. Please reach out if you are in Bloomfield. I have her petition (due Dec 1st).

It has been expected that Analilia Mejia would be running in the increasingly crowded Democratic field to replace Gov-Elect Sherrill in NJ-11. Mejia, like several of the Dems running, is a highly qualified candidate, the kind Democrats are generally trying to recruit.

This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.
