New Jersey is ready and excited to host eight FIFA World Cup matches this summer – including the World Cup Final. Since I took office, my Administration has been working to prepare for the biggest sporting event our state has ever seen – and today, NJ TRANSIT released their Mobility Plan to move 40,000 fans to and from each match safely and efficiently. In the FIFA World Cup agreement that my Administration inherited, FIFA put zero dollars towards transporting World Cup fans. It also eliminated parking at MetLife Stadium, putting the burden of transporting four times more matchday riders than typical for an event at the stadium on NJ TRANSIT. This agreement will cost NJ TRANSIT at least $48 million, while FIFA is positioned to make $11 billion during the World Cup. As I have said repeatedly, FIFA should cover the cost of transporting its fans. If it won’t, we will not be subsidizing World Cup ticket holders on the backs of New Jerseyans who rely on NJ TRANSIT every day.

From @TheAthleticFC: New Jersey Transit is currently planning to charge more than $100 for return rail tickets from Penn Station to MetLife Stadium for FIFA World Cup games. The 18-mile rail journey ordinarily costs $12.90 for a return ticket. nyti.ms/3Op4Jxw

You can’t exclude everyone “just in case.” That’s not how the law works. bbc.co.uk/sport/darts/ar…

Absolutely loving all the angry darts fans shouting about Phil Taylor, skewed starting pools, beer bellies and muscle memory. As if they are flagging stuff I didn’t spend days evaluating. “But cross dominance…” My friend, you have to get out of bed earlier than that…

PORTO HAVE SCORED AN OWN GOAL FROM 50 YARDS OUT😭😭😭😭

Working together, water companies are building 10 new reservoirs over the next 15 years and beyond. Our population is growing so we need more water. By doing the work today, we’re protecting our water supply for tomorrow.

Barrister Sarah Phillimore repeatedly deadnamed and misgendered a trans woman online. Her regulator has rejected our complaint – but we won’t be giving up: goodlawproject.org/bar-standards-…

Listen to the first part of the @talkSPORT interview with SEEN in Sport’s Su Wong on the welcome news that @iocmedia are protecting the female category of all @Olympics sports The false “Michael Phelps flipper feet argument” is used again to justify males in the female category

For whoever needs to hear this I'm the only Jewish person to lead a political party - third largest in the country. The Daily Mail have been & always will be my enemy - they historically supported fascists & continue to do so. I'll take no lectures from them on Antisemitism.


It’s devastating that Girlguiding has announced plans to exclude existing trans girl guides from September. The Supreme Court ruling is being weaponised to bully previously inclusive organisations into abandoning members of their own community. The government must ensure that the statutory guidance enables organisations to be inclusive and protects them from expensive anti-trans lawfare.
