So much organizing happening In New Jersey. Map is filled ❤️

Taxing the rich is a valentine we can all send to the 99.999999% of us who are not billionaires. Thanks to @itep.org for the #TaxValentines!

Our friends at NJ Bike Walk Coalition put together an excellent FAQ attempting to explain the onerous and frankly racist new e-bike law. It is unclear how the state plans to implement this all in just a few months... njbwc.org/faq-nj-ebike...

GREAT news! Energy bill increases will be curbed -- at least for now. PJM has agreed to cap energy prices til 2030. This is because of all the work state advocates + governors have done to force PJM to improve! subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2026...

Today we joined @njlcv.bsky.social at the unveiling of their common agenda! I spoke about the need to reform PJM and to hold data center companies accountable for their role in higher electric bills. Together we can make New Jersey affordable for all!

Legislators like Chairman Smith and Chairwoman Cruz-Perez are so gracious and wonderful when they run their committees. They welcome public testimony, ask engaging questions, and thank people for coming. And then there are the other kind of Chairs.

Everyone in #NewJersey should do this. Seriously, I was on the waiting list for a long time, and now I just get a lower bill every month. It shows you right on the bill how much your credit from the community solar project is.

The Community Solar Pilot Program was SO successful they ended it early and launched the full program. A good reminder that the more uptake in government services, the more likely lawmakers will expand them to cover more people. A win-win-win!

As we all get hit with what is likely the most expensive energy bill we’ve ever paid, check if there are any community solar projects in your area. I’m a subscriber myself! No cost to you. ~20% off your bill. No catch. Just click “Find a Project” below: cleanenergy.nj.gov/programs/sol...

Just a reminder that any time you see an op-ed claiming NJ needs data centers, look for specific facts and data about WHY they feel we need them. Because there won’t be any real data. It’s all vibes. “We need data centers for economic growth” ok show me the economic data honey

One Gateway worker was laid off amid ARC; now has 3 kids at home and no paycheck. Another one has a son w autism and might lose his healthcare benefits. 100+ workers & Gov. Mikie Sherrill shared their personal stories about union work lifting their families.

No one should be blocked from work, school, or healthcare because transit isn’t safe, reliable, or affordable. That’s why transit is a civil right. Today, on #TransitEquityDay, the fight goes on.

Getting around New Jersey on the bus shouldn’t be a financial headache. During #TransitEquityWeek, we’re sharing the voices of those calling for bus fares that make sense for all riders. #FundNJT Do you commute on NJ TRANSIT and are ready for change? Join our Bus Riders Council: tstc.org/brc

A terrifying point reported by Colleen here: even if funding does resume after Feb 6, it will be difficult to get those workers back. “Workers who get laid off will move on to other jobs and it will be hard to fill in those specialized crafts, which could delay the project should funding resume.”

Again we have to tax the rich for their own good

HudCo friends I have been coerced into attending Buffy prom at white eagle! Who’s with me 😎😎😎

A small glimmer of hope: the recently signed federal budget bills include full funding for LIHEAP! LIHEAP helps over 240,000 New Jersey households pay their energy bills, including seniors, people with disabilities, and low income families. www.utilitydive.com/news/federal...

Anthony is calling attention to the challenges South Jersey riders face: fewer transit options & rising costs. Higher fares are hitting hard where service is limited. Join our Bus Riders Council to push for fares that make sense for all: tstc.org/brc #TransitEquityWeek#TransitEquityDay2026 #FundNJT

🚏 Transit is how we stay connected: to school, to work, to the people we love. Jasai’s story reminds us that affordability is at the heart of transit equity. #TransitEquityWeek #TransitEquityDay2026 #FundNJT

It’s transit equity week, so of course the Trump administration is blocking one of the most important transit projects in the country. “It’s madness here to see the federal government attack jobs, attack the economy, attack affordability.” -Gov Sherrill

not to brag but when I went to the Flemington ShopRite at 4:30pm today it was one of the most pleasant shopping experiences I’ve ever had. there were NO lines and the store was FULLY stocked. maybe we need a good snowstorm threat every now and then

So why exactly did Trump finally stand up to PJM and what does it mean? Check out this thread 👇👇👇 (hint: it’s in part because of all the work we’ve done pressuring PJM from here in NJ!)

Sorry but this is the most generic ass mascot I’ve ever seen. Can’t relate to the “he’s kinda cute tho 👉👈” crowd. This is what happens when you use AI instead of doing what has consistently worked in the past: commissioning a talented furry artist.

Protecting families and businesses from future flooding will not just save us all money, but will save LIVES. Stay mad bro 😎

we know this is the kind of data-driven research you expect from us here at NJPP

I know it’s an historic day in Jersey but I need everyone to know that yesterday a literal groundbreaking scientific paper was published with the first-ever documented flexible tool use in cows????

🚨 NEW 🚨 Without sustainable and equitable revenue sources, incoming governor Mikie Sherrill is inheriting a state budget full of fiscal threats — to the tune of $3 billion. Read the full report from @ptrchn1.bsky.social: www.njpp.org/publications...

The White House is actually taking the first step to address the data center issue before New Jersey is. I’m speechless. Let’s be clear: this is happening because of advocates exposing PJM’s failed practices. But still. Did NOT have this on my 2026 bingo card. www.reuters.com/business/ret...

yes I am old enough to remember MapQuest

two people have already texted me about this so just to be clear, no, I am not related to the Anthony Ambrose who was appointed to the Solomon administration in JC lol

I'm driving to a friend's house tonight and I have only a vague idea how to get there so I'm literally printing directions. thank you Verizon outage

If Tr*mp enacts data center tariffs before we do I’m quitting my job forever bc like nothing funnier will ever happen to me

Well I didn’t hear any mention of clean energy, which makes sense given one of his campaign promises was 100% clean energy, a law that did not pass during his reign. But also I didn’t hear much on energy affordability at all, which is surprising given it was central to Sherrill’s campaign. #NJSOTS

The bottleneck at Secaucus is terrible design! Anyone who wants to take transit to MetLife — a totally reasonable choice — has to go to Secaucus first, which is not exactly the gold standard of people-oriented transit development. Now imagine thousands of Europeans trying to navigate that.

OK but also remember when the state passed the Corporate Transit Fee???? www.njpp.org/media/statem...

The World Cup is a great opportunity to evaluate and improve our transit system, especially around MetLife. As I told a reporter once, “It is considered a rite of passage in New Jersey to sit in traffic for two hours after an event at MetLife.” Source: www.nytimes.com/2024/02/09/n... #NJSOTS

quoting Reagan? in THIS economy???? #NJSOTS

I really hope the World Cup and the 250th anniversary celebrations both center around this message: IMMIGRANTS ARE WHAT MAKE OUR COUNTRY GREAT. #NJSOTS

Okay, good self-deprecating NJ Transit joke. Gov Murphy was dealt a BAD hand, and we knew transit wasn’t going to be solved in just one or two terms. The Corporate Transit Fee prevented it from getting worse, but there’s no doubt CEO Kolluri has his work cut out for him. The work continues! #NJSOTS

Actually, I think people in New Jersey are rightly concerned about generative AI because AI data centers are raising our utility bills. That’s why we need guardrails in place now to stop these companies from putting their costs on us. #NJSOTS

Former BPU Prez Fiordaliso was a giant! Joe Jr once told a story about cleaning out his father’s desk and finding a handwritten note from an elderly woman thanking Prez Fiordaliso for helping her pay her bills. It’s fine, I’m not crying, you are. #NJSOTS

Lol, angry comment in the NJSpotlight Youtube chat about higher electric bills. A reminder that our higher bills are due largely in part to 1. AI data center demand and 2. PJM dragging its feet on building more energy supply. Learn more here: www.njpp.org/publications... #NJSOTS

Truly one of the shining achievements of the Murphy Administration is his commitment to reproductive freedom. New Jersey is a safe haven for anyone who needs access to reproductive health and it must stay that way. #NJSOTS

random thought: do state governments also do the designated survivor thing? is there some intern sitting in a bunker with a computer livestreaming this address right now? #NJSOTS

Yes, gun violence and homicides are down. But in 2024, more people died in vehicle collisions than by homicide. That’s why it’s essential we see implementation of the Target Zero Law in the next administration. The draft action plan is here! >> vtc.rutgers.edu/wp-content/u... #NJSOTS

Gov mentions Stay NJ and the property tax credit programs. But these costs are increasing their fiscal burden on the state. As NJPP has outlined, there are small tweaks that can help Stay NJ fit the "stronger and fairer" mindset by reducing benefits for the wealthy: www.njpp.org/publications...

Lots of focus on making New Jersey affordable for seniors. In Sherrill’s inaugural address, I’ll be looking for how she plans to make the state affordable for young people and families as well. Lots of people are struggling to pay rent and may never be able to afford to own a home at all. #NJSOTS

"We have more millionaires in New Jersey than ever before and more families are calling New Jersey home than ever before." Fact check: TRUE. Fair tax policy and increasing affordability for families are pro-growth policies.

DOUBLING the state minimum wage AND a millionaire’s tax! HUGE accomplishments that predated my time at NJPP, but I’m proud that this organization helped lead those fights to truly make New Jersey more affordable for all. #NJSOTS

I think it’s easy to forget how DIRE things were back in 2017. Similar federal government but we ALSO just had eight years of austerity state budgets and state funding cuts that left many New Jerseyans behind. State policy-wise, there’s no doubt we’re in a far better place now. #NJSOTS
