We just got an update from the New Jersey Department of Health that the WIC program, which provides food and nutrition support for 165,000 women and children across our state, only has enough funds to help families for two more weeks.

A person like that has no business anywhere near the Governor's office. We need someone who will fight back for the people of New Jersey, not shower the President with straight A's as he tramples over our state. (9/9)

Trump just said some federal employees “don’t deserve to be taken care of.” That’s not leadership, it’s cruelty.

Hundreds of thousands of Americans are working or waiting without pay, and the president seems proud of it.

We need a leader who reopens government, not one who weaponizes it.

If Trump can do this to Comey and Letitia James, he can do it to anyone. This is authoritarianism. We cannot be silent.

Mike Johnson: “When the government subsidizes something, it means it’s not working.”

Is he speaking about farmers, bankers, insurance companies, the Billionaires like Musk? No, just the everyday American that may need the ACA to live.

MASSIVE BREAKING: A federal judge has just blocked the deployment of troops into Chicago by Trump.

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast.

But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

Florida: open carry of firearms in grocery stores. I will walk out if I see a gun. People are idiots. If you want my business, you’ll post a sign that says NO GUNS ALLOWED.

The federal government has officially shut down after Congress failed to pass a budget. This isn’t just political theater—it’s a direct threat to children, families, and workers nationwide.

If you read the journal article, it clearly states that the link has nothing to do with paracetamol. If only this administration understood science. Also there were no controls for age of the father or parental diagnosis.

Yet again, Trump is grossly abusing the criminal justice system by directing an unqualified political lackey to indict his adversary.

Let’s be clear: this kind of corruption is how authoritarians become dictators.

And this is also on every Republican who doesn’t speak up.
