I do right, I don't do nice. She/her.
The Senator Andy Kim endorsed candidate just stomped the Governor Murphy endorsed candidate and that simply delights me.
RESULT: James Solomon will be the next mayor of Jersey City.

Solomon, running on a more progressive lane with WFP support, has easily defeated the establishment candidate Jim McGreevey, the former governor who resigned in scandal two decades ago.

First poll out in the NJ-11 race to fill Governor-elect
@MikieSherrill's seat in the House.

Tom Malinowski leads with 28%

Brendan Gill has 12%. Analilia Mejia and Lt. Gov Tahesha Way have 5%

My prediction is that Mejia and Way will improve in future polls.

A group of New Jersey state senators, lead by Senate President Nick Scutari and assisted by James Beach and John McKeon (my state senator) embarrassed themselves on the national stage.

They are forcing a bill to make sure political corruption can't be investigated.

I do love Jim Beach accusing Andy Kim of being a Trump stooge as if Jim Beach wouldn't be deathly afraid to answer simple questions about how he voted in the last three presidential elections under a polygraph

I like how Scutari is on the edge of the picture acting all ominously like what’cha gonna do, be MORE anti-open government
As Attorney General Matt Platkin, Senator Andy Kim, and acting Comptroller Kevin Walsh spoke this morning against a bill that would gut the comptroller’s office and expand a different oversight agency, Senate President Nick Scutari, the author of the bill, came to watch

We are now a nation led by kleptocrats who put their own self-enrichment ahead of what is best for the United States and the rest of the world. To say that this is a shameful moment in our nation’s history does not begin to cover it. We are now no better than a banana republic pay-to-play regime.

Around half of #ACA enrollees are people who are self-employed.

The other half mostly work for small businesses which don't provide healthcare coverage for their employees.

The ACA is VITAL to small businesses.

Psst… he means that poker is considered a masculinity display, as is right wing politics, so they don’t seem to go together. Like if Mamdani drove an F150, or was really into crypto, or Call of Duty.

At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

A federal judge didn’t “steal” the Commander-in-Chief’s powers—she ruled that DoD exceeded the limits Congress set. That is the rule of law working as designed. What threatens the Republic isn’t judicial review, but officials who insist they’re above it.
