My politics are simple: hard work, common sense, and practical leadership that gets results. From freezing taxes for first-time homebuyers to investing in vocational training and a child care tax credit, I’m focused on affordability and helping families get ahead.

@MontclairNJGov If you want people to pay taxes online, forcing us to turn off popup blockers and delete browsing history adds aggravation to an already negative experience.

Are there other examples of local/state leaders conducting mass firings without any expression of sympathy for the workers and their families? I've never seen such a thing in my 15 years covering state and local govt.

Prediction for Musk-Trump bromance: 1. After being put in charge of efficiency panel, Musk tweets that all can be solved with “reforms” of Medicare & SS. 2. Trump fires him, dubs him “Murdering Musk,” & “Illegal Alien Elon” 3. Musk turns X into 100% anti-Trump propaganda

Los Frikis is a deeply emotional experience that reveals a new facet of the talented directors behind The Peanut Butter Falcon. Tyler Nilson & Michael Schwartz demonstrate great maturity in their craft, solidifying their status as master storytellers. I loved everything about it.

@CraigAnthonyRS I hope you know, it’s two doors down from yours! But I’d be careful with those water balloons. You may be too young to to remember Rambo, but I grew up on it and it’s how I learned to respond to all aggression.

Paris will be changing SUV drivers higher parking fees as a way of tackling what they’re calling “auto-besity.” Size, weight & motor will be taken into account to target “dangerous, cumbersome” vehicles. EVs & vehicles for “large families” will be exempt. theguardian.com/world/2023/jul…
