Hey, New Jerseyans. Please be aware of text scams. How to recognize them:
1) You do not recognize the situation right off the bat.
2) The link is suspicious. Most governmental agencies have a ".gov" in the URL.
3) Text instructs you to click on to Pay Now.
>>> WHEN IN DOUBT, DO NOT CLICK. <<<

This is out of hand. These agents are there to cause trouble and violence, not to keep people safe. These are the scenes that play out in war torn, destitute countries - not America.

It’s been one week since Republicans shut down the government.

And they won’t even show up to work.

Democrats are in D.C., ready to negotiate on a budget that protects your health care and lowers your costs.

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

#Chicago has been voted the “Best Big City” for the 9th year in a row by readers of the travel magazine Condé Nast Traveler.

To trump it's a war zone.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Today in Judiciary, the MAGA Attorney General falsely accused me of taking money, “not only once but twice,” from “one of Epstein’s closest confidantes.”

She brought it up twice, in response to different questions, so no accident.

Weirder still, the oppo research is false. I checked. This person has never contributed to me. Like I wouldn’t check? So false — and sloppy.

Mother Jones @motherjones.com · 10h

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced that “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads and drilling.

Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.

Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws"

Public comments suggest repealing the Clinton-era "roadless rule" is wildly unpopular.

Chicago resident: The gentlemen were on the inside of the bakery, just getting a cup of coffee. I saw them being taken by the ICE agents. Mario has been a customer for years. Wonderful people, not criminals at all. And he's ill, he needs his medication.

Murray: "If House Republicans were here, I'd make sure they understood over 3/4 of the families on the exchanges actually live in R states. And I'd make sure they understand the 10 states where families will face biggest average premium increase hikes when the ACA credits expire are all R states."

Stephen Miller just said the quiet part out loud claiming that Trump has plenary authority when it comes to deploying troops. (Plenary means full authority.) After making the statement, he froze completely, like a deer in headlights. The video is worth watching.
