NJ governor put his children on state board just before leaving office dlvr.it/TSHj6N

Touching a nerve

Love letter for @StevenFulop outside @Partnership4NYC

The moment @GovSherrillNJ said this: “In the final working days of the last administration, New Jerseyans were stuck with $3B in extra spending, $2.5 in corporate tax breaks and $240 million in giveaways. That can’t keep happening … it’s not what the people of NJ deserve.”

Gateway isn’t optional, it’s essential. It is the most important project in the Northeast. Washington needs to stop playing politics with NJ-11. In Congress, I’ll fight to get it finished on time, fully funded, with no excuses, because NJ will not be an afterthought anymore.

Mamdani Called Trump to Criticize Venezuela Strikes nytimes.com/2026/01/03/wor…

I’m announcing that I’ll be supporting challengers against State Senator James Beach and other elected officials who continue to fuel corrupt machine politics in NJ. Last week’s shameful hearing and vote to gut anti-corruption efforts showed the need for more accountability. We halted the bill but need to keep our feet on the gas. We need leaders who represent the people, not powerful interests; and we need a grassroots army to build an anti-corruption movement. I’m putting out a call for people to step up. It won’t be easy, but I hope you’ll join me in stepping up to build a true democracy for the people.

Let’s review the so-called public hearing process on RWJ Barnabas trying to close the hospital in Long Branch:   - violated public notification laws and scheduled the public hearing on closing Monmouth Medical Center during the workday - canceled it but 250 people showed up anyway - and then moved it out of Long Branch—into a room so small that our residents can’t even be heard as they voice their opposition to a plan that would close their hospital. Just look at this line of people waiting to speak. This is PLAIN WRONG.

I haven't been able to find a longer video of this. Is it about Bill Spadea or Mikie Sherrill? At the beginning of the remarks, Ciattarelli's talking about Trump endorsing him over Bill Spadea. But then uses the present tense, and says how Trump "puts it" and "always says to me."

Breaking: Democrats have successfully challenged enough petition signatures to bring Green Party gubernatorial candidate Lily Benavides down to 1,998 signatures -- two short of the required number to remain on the ballot. Raj Parikh still has hundreds of challenges remaining.

Must-read story on NJ budget shenanigans from @SusanKLivio on how Dems are taking $ from opioid settlements to give politically connected hospitals and making it harder to force crummy nursing homes to improve. @GovMurphy will have final say. nj.com/politics/2025/…

NEW at NYT: One of the clearest ways to see how Trump has transformed the political landscape is to look at what we're calling "triple trending" counties — those that have steadily marched in each party's direction in the Trump era. The results are stark. Thread...

Are South Jersey Democrats running a phantom Republican candidate for mayor of a big Camden County town? 🧵

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people. Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.

1/ After residency at Mass General Hospital, I reported to Atlanta to meet my fellow CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers. I have never felt so intimidated by my peers The best and the brightest, they were star clinicians, had served in disaster zones; MD/PhDs and MSF.

To be clear: the Judge ordered Elon and the DOGE bros to delete any data they illegally acquired since Trump took office. We are going to make sure they comply. Billionaires don't get to write their own rules.

All weekend we saw news of Trump/Musk gutting USAID. Senator Kim went by this morning to see what's going on.

Trump didn’t get many more votes in NJ. The Democratic nominee, a Black + South Asian woman, got half a million fewer than Biden 4 years ago. ‘Sobering’ for sure. nytimes.com/2024/11/07/nyr…
