Caring about the earth and all living things. I will never stop standing up for and fighting for democracy and the rule of law. Southern NJ. CD-2 has become far too red, especially due to the last redistricting! #DemCast

For the fabulously wealthy, paying taxes is pretty much optional. They can borrow against their vast wealth, which is mostly an untaxed capital gain, without paying taxes. When they die, the capital gain goes to zero. And loopholes exist to bypass the estate tax too.

🚨 NEWS: A federal judge has ruled that the Trump DOJ ILLEGALLY fired prosecutor Maurene Comey, ordering retroactive reinstatement and backpay. The judge ripped the DOJ’s defense as bordering on “frivolous” and rejected its sweeping claims of executive power.

Lula has been reelected president, Brazilian media has now called. An extraordinary comeback for the left-wing politician who trailed by 2 points in round 1 but managed to hold off Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president's son.

The same US president who treats our friend Canada as an enemy is trying to give Alaska to Russia, a country whose absolutely overt foreign policy is to destroy us. This superpower suicide has to be stopped. www.ft.com/content/e9cf...

So it looks like George Norcross is kicking NJCD-2 VanDrew to the curb! I got this text today paid for by Norcross’ PAC! The ad however is paid for by the 218 super PAC. Here’s hoping we will finally be rid of #TrumpBootLickerVanDrew!

Since Van Drew doesn't know his policy positions until trump tells him it's an interesting debate.

When I talk about MediKids, I talk about how healthy kids make healthy adults. And that makes for a healthier, stronger society. This is taking us in the exact opposite direction. Everyone deserves to get the care they need — it will also benefit ALL of us in the long run.

Before this week, I would’ve struggled to name the single most vile politician in America aside from Trump. Not anymore. Vivek Ramaswamy made that choice very easy. Every time he opens his mouth, he proves there’s no bottom he won’t scrape. At this point, “vile” isn’t an insult. It’s his brand.

🚨 Eleven days before the midterms, Trump’s DOJ is ALREADY trying to block certification of a possible Democratic Senate victory! The DOJ filed a lawsuit targeting Alaska’s Senate race if Mary Peltola defeats Republican Dan Sullivan under certain conditions. #USDemocracy

Trump and Elon can point fingers at each other all they want but this has endangered soldiers and civilians in Ukraine.

No private citizen, let alone a trillionaire, should be able to order or direct vital national security actions to appease a President’s grudges.

Elon Musk ordered the slowdown of a version of SpaceX’s Starlink that Ukraine has relied on in its war against Russia, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday, citing U.S. officials and people familiar with the matter. More details: cnb.cx/4sdMvOQ

With Cruzgate in Veneziaville, it's almost funny, but it's not. In the town FKA Bloomfield, we have a police investigation into the behavior of our councilwoman who is also ASM Mike Venezia's Chief of Staff. She's been caught, and the pictures are the problem. NJ POL
