Donald Trump is prioritizing his billionaire backers at the expense of working families.

#DemGovs are creating jobs, cutting taxes, and lowering costs.

That’s the difference.

Jacking Up Taxes — that’s what Jack Ciattarelli and his LG pick will do to New Jerseyans already struggling with high costs. They said so themselves.

New Jersey can’t afford Jack. It’s time to elect @mikiesherrill.bsky.social.

As this GOP shutdown continues, more and more families are feeling the pain — and Dem Govs are stepping up to fight for the people of their states.

Trump and Congressional Republicans need to end the shutdown and come to a deal.

Gov. Gavin Newsom just SUED Donald Trump and WON.

He successfully stopped Trump from sending California’s National Guard to Oregon — a stunning attempted abuse of power.

Winsome Earle-Sears keeps putting Trump over Virginians.

It's hurting families trying to make ends meet.

She cannot serve as governor of the Commonwealth.

“To think that we’d have a governor that isn’t going to stand up to the president… I think is really unacceptable.” 🔥🔥🔥

New Jerseyans need a governor who will fight for them, not a Trump lackey like Jack Ciattarelli.
