Just heard another report that an e-bike rider in Princeton who was involved in a crash got ticketed for failure to register their e-bike.

The complete lack of planning is a true tribute to the war-fighter mentality and the destruction of DEI! Let them drink T!

New Jersey's new e-bike regulations, the strictest in the nation, go into effect on Monday. The law was passed in a rush and many problems with it have become clear, but proponents such as Senate President Nicolas Scutari don't seem to care.

Ted Cruz says Texas is 3rd world country.

I called @corybooker.com's office today to ask him to address this publicly. I said that no one should be associating in this way with Thiel. I think all Democrats deserve a response.

Why shouldn't the person responsible for this crushing inflation be punished by having their face on the $250 bill? We only need bills so large because tax cuts, tariffs, and war-driven fuel crisis have super-charged inflation.

You didn't know running the government like a business would mean higher prices and lower wages? Have you never worked a day in your life? That's how businesses make money.

FACT CHECK: Everything is legal in New Jersey.

You know the economy is doing well when the brokerage firm reminds you about tax-loss harvesting.

When a politician talks about "making America great again", they're talking about a time when taxes were high, predatory big business would be broken up, and overt racism was plentiful. We taxed the rich, and built things for whites only. They act like racism was the key to success.

When a politician says they need to protect against voter fraud, what they actually mean is they want to restrict voting because they know their plans are unpopular and they won't actually work when enacted.

When a politician says the economy is booming, what they mean is that wages are low and prices are high. Bigger profits and greater returns on investment are all they care or talk about.

By who? Who shot the person dead? You saw the video. We all know a federal agent shot a man dead who was prone on the ground. Also, it's not "according to officials." It's according to verified video seen with your eyes. Not saying what anyone can obviously see with their eyes is a form of lying.

In heroic effort to maintain status as dumbest state on transportation, NJ Gov Murphy signs bill trying to ensure nobody in the state actually rides an ebike. www.insidernj.com/press-releas...

It's important to remember that Donald Trump lies constantly, but this is Donald Trump declaring that he has used the United States military to extort Venezuela into giving him $1.7-2.7 billion for his personal use.

President Hernandez was serving 45 years in prison for a plot to distribute 400 tons of cocaine before Trump pardoned him. Meanwhile, Trump is murdering fishermen in small boats for allegedly smuggling far smaller amounts.

AOC on MTG retiring: "She's carefully timing her departure just 1-2 days after her pension kicks in and after making millions of dollars insider trading stocks for weapons manufacturers and others while in office."

In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

NEW: About 90,000 people living near larger chemical plants face an unacceptable risk of developing cancer, the EPA says. New rules adopted last year could’ve cut that number to 3,000 residents — a drop of 97%. But Trump has halted those efforts.

The conservatives might say that tax cuts create jobs, but they always seem to buy up more companies and lay off workers when they get extra cash to spend. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

Playing both sides on vaccines is worse than just blocking them. Why deny people vaccines when you know they work?

Liberation Day? More like MAGA Fools Day

I wonder when the bozos in charge realize the only thing keeping the American economy running was government "waste".

Anyone who's actually worked for living knows that Government shouldn't operate like a business. It's gross to suggest children should get to work if they want to eat.

There's a stronger case that Trump should be forced to divest from his businesses than last time he took office. Why should the head of a fraudulent enterprise be given the opportunity to abuse government power to commit more fraud?

It would be pretty off brand to campaign for years on how incompetent the government is and then come into power and do things well.

It’s not a MAGA civil war. The owners of the incoming administration are purging the members of their coalition they feel they no longer need now that they have all the power.

I have a strong suspicion these drones flying over NJ were just some rich dude's toys, and they are so rich they can't be prosecuted for inciting panic. gottheimer.house.gov/posts/releas...

I don't think the tariffs will actually be put into place, but the important part is that it gives businesses a reason to raise prices now. If everyone raises prices at once, it is not a competitive disadvantage to do so.

Was in the proces of signing up for a failing social media platform as an April Fools, but they asked for a phone number to confirm the account and permission to spam the number. At that point the joke took too much effort to set up a burner number so I gave up.
