I have never seen anything like this! Sen. Jim beach is making a cabinet member, the attorney general and a sitting U.S. senator wait five hours and still hasn’t called them to a hearing on Transparency and corruption. Three people tried to yield to @AndyKimNJ and Beach refused

Senator Andy Kim@SenatorAndyKim·
Mayor Baraka’s arrest was shocking — and he should be released immediately. I called ICE leadership who relayed that the mayor was arrested for trespassing. However, video clearly shows the mayor outside the gates of Delaney Hall facility when he was arrested. I’ve reached out to DHS Secretary directly and am in touch with the members of Congress who conducted the oversight inspection. Developments are unfolding fast and I will work to keep everyone updated.

Reopening Delaney Hall won’t fix our broken immigration system or make us safer—it just pads the pockets of a private company that prioritizes profit over people. I recently inspected an ICE detention center in New Jersey and saw how the Trump administration's claims of focusing on dangerous criminals don’t match the reality. People like Karim Daoud—who has lived here for 21 years, has no criminal record, and has a wife and kids who are U.S. citizens—are being detained. Detaining individuals like him doesn’t improve safety—it only creates division and fear in our communities. We need transparency and accountability to be certain of safe and humane conditions at places like Delaney Hall. Most of all, we must push for real immigration reform across our nation. - AK

@parentingcore @whyy Thanks so much for flagging, Sarah. We totally agree: accuracy matters. That entry has been updated, accordingly. More on the 7th Congressional District candidates can be found here, if of interest: whyy.org/articles/new-j…

@whyy It would be nice if your New Jersey voter guide actually listed the correct D candidate in NJ’s only congressional swing district (NJ7). It’s Sue Altman. Accuracy matters. I’d appreciate if you fixed this immediately. whyy.org/articles/new-j…

@MattFriedmanNJ As a lifelong NJ resident except for a few years in Maine, I’m still stuck on today’s bagel story. You can’t buy an actual bagel in Maine - those abominations Dunkin sells do not count.

There's nothing — absolutely nothing — more infuriating than reading a Google review of a pizza or bagel place in NJ that starts with "I'm from NY, so I know..."

The Gateway Tunnel agreement was signed today. That’s great. And it’s a reminder that ELECTIONS matter. If Chris Christie hadn’t canceled the ARC Tunnel in 2010, the Hudson River tunnel would have been in service for 6 years. Instead we are 11 years from a new tunnel.

Today's SCOTUS ruling makes it easier to jail & fine unhoused people for sleeping outside. Handcuffs don't get anyone closer to housing — they only make homelessness worse. The real solution is providing affordable housing and the support services people need to become stable.

Hey New Jersey - our Primary Elections are today. Please get out and vote. As one of your friendly neighborhood poll workers, I am making way too much progress on knitting this sock today, which means our polling place is way too quiet. Polls are open until 8 pm.

@GovMurphy As a mother of two kids with September birthdays, I’m glad to see this happened. Too late for my oldest, but my younger will be enfranchised by this law in the not-too-distant future!

Today I signed the New Voter Empowerment Act, allowing 17-year-olds to vote in primaries if they turn 18 years old before the next general election. Elevating the voices of our future leaders will help empower the next generation while strengthening our democracy.

@LloydJNelson @AssattaMann As I was telling people all day, @AssattaMann was an absolute rock star! Pulling this off any time was AMAZING. The day after Election Day? INCREDIBLE! (I was just trying to string words together into coherent sentences on Wed after working the polls on Tuesday)

I’ve been stewing about the shenanigans that disenfranchised me, my family, my neighbors, and all LD27 D primary voters. I worked the polls on June 6 bc I believe in democracy. D or R, autocracy is autocracy. Shame on all who are perpetuating this farce.
