A lot of people get pissed when cops do crosswalk enforcement stings. I don't think they do it enough.

Today, Hightstown's Democratic Committee exposed a pattern of controversial statements from Borough Council candidate, Zack Geltzeiler, and urged him to remove himself from the race.
Our letter, and a small sample of what spurred it, is shared here: hightstowndemocrats.com/elec…

Just shameful to watch a nominee for Governor in New Jersey stand on a debate stage and say this.
WATCH: Jack Ciattarelli defends racial segregation in schools, implying it's only bad if predominantly Black schools are the ones underperforming. #NJGov

We just won our Senate race! As a son of immigrants, a public school kid, I never could’ve imagined I’d get to serve as a US Senator. I’m deeply humbled and grateful to NJ and for everyone who got us here. I promise I’ll serve with honor and integrity as a public servant for all.

Earlier today, I told Assembly leadership that I will not support A4045, which makes significant changes to New Jersey’s open public records act. Out of respect for my caucus colleagues, I normally don’t publicly announce my “no” votes ahead of time. But this is too important.

BREAKING: New Jersey Attorney General views county organization lines as unconstitutional, and the state won't defend it in court.

At a recent meeting, members of the Hightstown Democratic Club unanimously voted to endorse Congressman Andy Kim in his upcoming Senate election. We urge you to vote in the June 4th primary election, and to join us in supporting Andy Kim. (1/4)

Hey @NJGov — how many people do you think have @NJTRANSIT tattoos? Just me? Anyone else?

Short parable on the need for local journalism: My wife and I live in a small town (~25,000 people) in Middlesex County, NJ, where we recently had a referendum on whether or not to increase the fire department budget by about 60% (🧵 continues)

Kim supporters clearly saw this as an attempt to neuter the line in the counties where he can actually win it democratically, allowing Murphy to continue taking advantage of it in counties where the line is really awarded by a few people at most.
WOW: @arleneqperezesq says Hunterdon Dems wants to have any Senate candidate with 30 percent of the vote win the line. This was met with loud boos. This means both @TeamTammyNJ and @AndyKimNJ would likely share the line. Being voted on now.

Big deal: Dem Sen. Troy Singleton says the county line should be abolished, says he would support legislation that would establish block ballots in the state (such legislation is being sponsored by Dem Sen. Shirley Turner).

Not unstoppable. I’m 23 pts up in polls and am building an amazing movement of people who are done with the broken NJ politics. I’ve won “impossible” races before and ready to do it again. Join me: andykim.com
Tammy Murphy, the First Lady of New Jersey, is leveraging her husband’s power to lock up the Democratic nomination for Senate. She appears unstoppable. trib.al/XnSBJMI

Another voter disenfranchised because we don't have same-day voter registration.
Beware of USPS affiliate mymove.com, which caused a new Monmouth County voter to believe he had changed his voter registration. He can't vote today.
Judge Linda Grasso Jones: "It pretty much breaks my heart, but the statute doesn't allow me to let you vote."

From @TomBergeron5's analysis of Gov Murphy's trip to East Asia, note this next time the business lobby bellyaches about NJ taxes.
The taxes they (and we) pay help to fund top-quality public schools and attract a highly educated workforce that generates economic benefits for all

“The whales that are washing in are not echolocators. So that’s where a half-truth really unfairly biases the public against something.”
Whales are washing up along the east coast of the US. Offshore wind opponents blame future wind farms. Experts see a different threat.

I am begging you, from the bottom of my heart, to tell me what you think is closed.

It's true, the @MiddlesexCntyNJ government says they will not release copies of the re-districting maps that were shared with the establishment, even though in some public meetings, the maps were displayed on screen. We must demand their release immediately.

what the headline does not tell you is that approximately two thirds of those officers died from covid
458 US officers died in the line of duty in 2021, highest since 1930 myfox28columbus.com/news/nat…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is true, but the Tweet and headline leaves out important context: Over 300 of those deaths were from COVID-19. They count as "in the line of duty" in cases where it is believed that the officers contracted COVID-19 as a result of their job.
