This country gave my family — and so many others — the opportunity to build a middle-class life.
This administration is shutting down opportunities left, right, and center. But New Jersey’s where we draw the line — and that’s what we’re going to do this November.

Being able to drop a quarterly US GDP prediction by 5.1% from +2.3% to -2.8% in a single week is one of the most impressive economic developments in the history of the world.

Taking over an institution, asset-stripping it, and selling it for parts. Usually the victim is company, but this time it's our government.
Vulture Capitalism Comes for Democracy
The playbook Trump and Musk are following to dismantle government resembles the one used to pick apart America’s newspapers.

Never forget this day, February 28, 2025, when an American president abused and betrayed a democratic ally in the midst of a barbaric war with Russia. This grotesque stain will never wash away.

Trump is killing telehealth for seniors, because many seniors will skip seeing a doctor if they have to go in-person.
Patients skipping appointments saves money, but also leads to more preventable deaths.
Guess which he cares about more?

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.
How many federal workers would DOGE need to fire to make up for Musk not paying his fair share of taxes?
Answer: 677,000. That's 44% of the entire non-DoD federal workforce.
Again, this power grab is not about the budget. It’s about politics.

🚨Thousands of TONS of food now wasting away at the Port of Houston thanks to Trump shutting down USAID.
Texas farmers sent 235k tons of wheat to this port; Louisiana farmers sent rice - all vital food aid for people in need overseas.
The only “unspecified fraud” is Trump.
