#NJ Your task today with the exception of #NJ2, #NJ4 and #NJ7. Call your Rep and let's ask what plans are in place to ensure that Republicans don't try to screw up the mid-terms and what citizens should be ready to do.

Americans have a bleak outlook on the nation’s future ahead of its 250th birthday next month, with most saying the U.S. has already seen its best days and a record-low number saying they are extremely proud to be Americans, according to a new NBC News poll.

So-called Representative Tom Kean Jr has never held a town hall or in-person Q&A with #NJ07 voters. Now he's been completely missing for 100 days. When/if he returns, he'll continue following his Dear Leader Trump. We need real representation in Congress. Vote @rebeccabennetforcongress Nov. 3!

1/6 I have to laugh a bit when I hear people call Sanders a "Socialist." Mainly because they have no idea what Socialism is and think of Russia. That's Marxism-Leninism Socialism; it all belongs to the government. Then there is another reality that the American people don't seem to understand:

#NJ Smith and Van Drew voted to give ICE and CBP another 70 MILLION of our tax dollars while many of their constituents can't afford healthcare. Kean did not vote. All other NJ Reps voted NO.

How does the #GOP stand by this behavior?!

WATCH: “Where’s the evidence? You’ve never presented any evidence.” Unhinged, lying Trump has a MELTDOWN and WALKS OFF when Welker refuses to let him get away with lying about rigged elections. Finally some pushback.

This is not getting nearly enough attention, especially in Congress.

More than 200 people have now been killed in U.S. military strikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific. Since September, the Pentagon has struck more than 60 vessels, claiming, without evidence, that the boats were engaged in “narco-trafficking” operations.

Good for @kim.senate.gov for standing up and fighting back!

I went to Delaney Hall to follow up on conversations I had this morning with family members of detainees. ICE and GEO Group did not let me speak with detainees. Why do they insist on hiding the truth even after getting almost $1 billion of tax dollars?

How we beat back the corporate takeover of America: 1. Break up corporate monopolies 2. Continue building union power 3. End Citizens United and get big money out of politics Let’s keep working to unrig the system.

No, the #GOP is not good for the economy. #voteblue

American households are falling behind on debt and draining their savings just to keep up. Over 13% of credit card balances are now 90+ days past due, the highest rate since 2011. Working people are not thriving, they are just trying to survive. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Sen. Andy Kim: "It's a choice. Delaney Hall is run by GEO Group. GEO Group is getting a nearly $1 billion contract to run Delaney Hall. They tell me there is one full-time doctor for 800 detainees. They could have more doctors if they wanted to, but that's cutting into their profits."

Get those ballots in, folks! #vote #NJ
