If you are concerned about your electricity bills, the next Governor can do a lot to ensure that we ratepayers don't bear the burden of the increase caused by data centers.

Big Tech is driving up the cost of electricity, so we’re fighting back!

We’re launching Power Play NJ to lower energy costs by holding Big Tech accountable and bringing clean energy (and jobs!) to our state.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Another reason to buy from IKEA. They also are the best at packaging and making sure your stuff doesn't arrive broken. Not so fast, Amazon.

IKEA already sees the vision. Learn more about what it will take to keep states like NJ on track with electric truck and clean air goals:

So I think it’s embarrassing when the president goes out there. That’s it. Period.

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

As an independent voter in NJ — one of 2.4m registered Unaffiliated — the whole "Vote Blue/Vote Red" comments & nothing else said is disheartening.

How about...
"Vote for lower grocery prices?"
"Vote for co-equal branches of power?"
"Vote for no more mass shootings in schools?"

I hope our @newjerseyoag.bsky.social AG Matt Platkin gets all his flowers. Such a great public servant and he should stay on as AG, IMHO.

Deeply grateful to be recognized at the Latino Festival of Monmouth County. Coming together in celebration of New Jersey's vibrant cultures is so very important. Honored to recognize the incredible contributions of NJ’s Latino community.

Despite refusing to coordinate with the state or city, we’re monitoring the ongoing federal deployments that are instilling fear in our communities.

Americans have a right to peaceful assembly and to make their voices heard. Even if the Trump admin won’t follow the law, we will.

Threatening to fire prosecutors because they won't bring baseless and politically motivated prosecutions is the definition of weaponizing the justice system.

Trump Firing Top Prosecutor for Failing to Invent Fake Crimes by Foes

A U.S. attorney in Virginia is finding no evidence that Letitia James broke the law. In America, that’s justice. In Trumpworld, it’s a firing offense.

There *is a difference in the cancellation of Colbert vs. Kimmel. It's not what they said, but the roles of Trump & FCC Chairman had in the latter. That is BIG GOVERNMENT censorship. Sold all my shares at a loss, but the loss of our constitutional republic is a lot worse. @abigaildisney.bsky.social

I've never seen a Jimmy Kimmel show. I haven't had cable in over 7 years. But I did have Disney+ because Star Wars franchise, esp Andor, and Marvel Universe of movies. I usually buy stocks of things that I consume. All that stopped with the government censorship and cancellation of Jimmy Kimmel. 1/
