A new pro-housing group has launched in Princeton NJ. "Princeton For All" now has a website, and yard signs!! princeton4all.org

Fuck hotels that lie about a room being a "suite". A suite has a specific definition: a bedroom separated from the rest of the space by a door. I've had to call hotels & ask them if their "suite" is really one. At 1st they act like I'm dumb, then they realize their pics lie & they suck.

New Jersey legislators calling for a working group on saving public television in NJ two months after cutting $750,000 in funding newjerseyglobe.com/media/burzic...

Where are my fellow District 3 people? Our state senator Burzichelli says he wants to fix this. Let's tell him and his Assembly mates to not just restore state funding for NJ PBS & public radio, not just replace lost Federal funding, but give them even more.

See this poll and worried about Mikie not pulling through in November? Donate to this consortium of six Democratic Assembly candidates who are committed to spending their money on getting out the Democratic vote instead of making grifter consultants rich! secure.actblue.com/donate/save-...

NJ PBS is a crucial source of information for New Jerseyans to stay updated on our work in Trenton and local news across the state. We can't afford to lose them. I'm joining Senator Burzichelli in calling for a full analysis of how we can preserve PBS.

"After June 30, 2026, unless facts change, NJ PBS will go dark." Call your state legislators right NOW. www.njleg.state.nj.us/districts

Minnesota is such a well-run state, able to provide good public services, brave enough to strengthen the welfare state (free school lunch), & deliver a healthy budget. Meanwhile in NJ... newjerseymonitor.com/2025/09/25/r...

Well well well. If you live in Gloucester County, & your single issue is property taxes, then it seems you have no choice but to support the Democrats this November, as Gov Murphy has so far overseen much slower tax growth than Christie.

Trans health care for NJ minors threatened amid federal crackdown newjerseymonitor.com/2025/09/25/t...

RWJBarnabas Health "recently stopped accepting new pediatric patients for gender-affirming care." Includes 18 year olds. Atlantic Health might follow. NJ "does not explicitly protect gender-affirming care by law." A bill to do so is stuck in committee. Dems who fight, indeed.

Law people, help me. How can I get the documents for this lawsuit? I want to read what the lawsuit is actually alleging. www.nj.com/gloucester-c... I've searched court websites & emailed the author of this story. Nothing.

Big surprise: New York is the only US city where most households don't have cars. But there are some big zero-car minorities across the river in New Jersey and in Washington, Boston and San Francisco. From new column with gift link: www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

The head GCL NIMBY presented these slides in Glassboro last year before the ballot question. Any thoughts? Ignore the parts about the Rt 322 bypass. I'm focusing on the GCL now. drive.google.com/file/d/1Cpa1...

The state police union endorsed Ciattarelli. Time to remember that the best evidence we have so far finds no effect of bail reform on crime rates. www.brennancenter.org/media/13174/...

in Greenland, the government owns a bunch of businesses--a fishing company that is the largest single employer, a shipping company, a ferry company, several retail and logistics companies, etc, and it all works pretty well?? I traveled there to investigate: prospect.org/world/2025-0...

You all are dunking on this but she's right.

As usual, Cons are so close to getting it but whiff. Solitary confinement is torture, so we should only do it to THOSE criminals, not MY criminal. (Twitter screenshot only bcs NJ Monitor newsletter linked this today.)

Pitman is to vote on a ballot question about the GCL. It's non-binding, of course, but NIMBYs put these on the ballot to discredit the GCL. (Last year, this backfired when Glassboro voted majority Yes.) I asked around if anyone wants to get out the Yes vote in Pitman. No1 seems interested. Oh well.

if you've ever complained about Northeastern Dems ruining the national Democratic Party now's your chance to support making them less bad secure.actblue.com/donate/save-...

Jack Ciattarelli did a town hall in Pitman where he railed (harhar) against the GCL. Pitman is an oddball: coasting off of the good decisions of the distant past w/ its decent downtown & example of a "car-free" neighborhood w/ small homes, Pitman Grove. Yet today a NIMBY bastion losing population.

The author chose to say the GCL will "slice through residential neighborhoods". I wonder if he'd describe Route 553 or any other road the same way. www.dailyrecord.com/story/news/l...

Mechanical, equipment failures drive NJ Transit’s summer train cancellations newjerseymonitor.com/2025/09/17/m...

I knew this going in, but it's discouraging that ppl lack not just critical reading skills, but the ability to understand what text is saying in general. Rowan students allege Glassboro's noise ordinance is illegal. Residents: "Students think they can make all the noise they want w/o consequences!"

93% of Rhode Island voters say housing costs are a problem in the State. While many support solutions like new apartments, middle housing, Affordable housing & homeless shelters in Rhode Island, support for those same solutions drops off dramatically "in their neighborhood."

I know it's a big news moment, but this is an important local lawsuit and it doesn't deserve to get drowned out by other stories that happened to land on the same day:

Access is still not universal. Pharmas can't give the shot to kids under 3. Almost zero pediatricians carry it. My county health dept told me the State isn't sending them any COVID shots this year. So, if you have an infant or toddler, it apparently isn't terribly important for them to get vaxxed.

Graph of intense pain and suffering (this is after the 50% tariffs on Brazilian coffee)

Rowan students are suing Glassboro for its noise ordinance, which apparently was never approved by the NJ DEP. I recently read the ordinance. You can't play music that can be heard over 50 ft away. That would seem to ban all music & parties, no? www.courierpostonline.com/story/news/l...

made this case some years ago myself! theweek.com/articles/786...

Don't ignore that Lakewood Public School District just got utterly owned yet again in their years-long, thus far failed bid to rule NJ's funding formula unconstitutional. Their case: the State doesn't give them enough taxpayer money to bus >50,000 kids to private schools.

Instead of focusing on an electricity rate freeze that she can't do, NJ's Dem candidate for governor should come out w/ a plan to build a shit ton of cheap daycare centers everywhere & fast-track universal Pre-K rollout.

Actually, we should ban gambling ads just like we did for tobacco (ban booze ads while you're at it). Ppl already know the risks of gambling. It's not a secret that you could lose your money or get addicted. Milquetoast-ass task force #42069 www.njspotlightnews.org/2025/04/curb...

Commentary: NJ gutted public broadcasting before it was cool newjerseymonitor.com/2025/09/03/n...

False. CVS doesn't offer the COVID vaccine to all. Kids under 3 can't, by state law, get it from any pharmacist. But even I can't get it atm. I try scheduling online but they won't let me.

Unless the person here lost everything on micro-betting, specifically, instead of just gambling in general, this is an argument for curbing all of online gambling. At this point you prob can't ban it, but casinos/bookies should be public enterprises. www.njspotlightnews.org/2025/09/new-...

From the NJ Monitor newsletter today. Not entirely true. Before Jan 20, NY's Gov Hochul felt no qualms over sending the Nat Guard into the subways to combat crime despite falling rates.

NJ Transit has proven themselves more capable of operating buses than contractors, so this is good. Cut that waste, fraud, & abuse.

Booker's done hiding his power level in 2028. This gives him enough time to acquire some children capable of standing for photos, speaking a little Spanish for Tik Tok. I'm betting on them adopting a heckin woofer, too. people.com/senator-cory...

Pitch: walkable prison cells.

Time for congestion pricing in Philly. Idk. NJ bridge tolls can go to PATCO/GCL (DVRPA). PA-side tolls can go to SEPTA. I don't think CP is a dependable long-term funding source, but South NJ / SE PA are in no danger of going woke for TOD anytime soon.
