1. New Jersey is one of the last blue states to not have passed a transgender shield/sanctuary state law for trans youth.
Despite having a trifecta, Democratic leadership is refusing to put the bill up for a vote as the lameduck session comes to a close.

And just a day after Trump’s oligarch-padded inauguration, the soft-spoken Episcopalian minister quietly and thoughtfully delivered a message of tolerance.
