Video of the scene before @ShohamJustin showed up, got into it with the cops and was arrested. Elizabeth PD looks very confrontational over a campaign sign, even with the police director looking on. Maybe they can add context by releasing body cam footage. youtube.com/watch?is=ArPl4BL…

I didn't bother to look up the statistics, but Elizabeth must be virtually crime-free. How else could the police director and two lieutenants find an hour to stop staffers of a mayoral political rival from holding a campaign sign in a park?

“Under the authority of the people”. That’s part of our oath. That’s who I work for- the people of Hoboken and Jersey City.
New Assemblywoman Katie Brennan took her oath of office today on a list of registered voters from her district.

We’re not going to “fix the Democrats’ brand” by doing TikToks or launching podcasts. The brand is a direct reflection of the strength of our elected officials. If we want to purge our weak branding, we have to purge the weak Democrats. I’m looking forward to a robust primary cycle and ushering in a new era of Democrats who actually know how to fight.

Newark Airport is a lifeline of our region’s economy. Extending flight caps through 2026 risks higher costs for travelers and fewer jobs for local workers, especially leading up to the World Cup. NJ deserves better than delays and half measures.
The Federal Aviation Administration said today it will now extend significant flight cuts at New Jersey's Newark Airport through October 2026 as it continues to face an air traffic controller shortage and congestion issues. Today's order limits flights to 72 per hour, up from 68 earlier this year but still down from the 80 or more before May. Despite the lower limit, more passengers are still taking off Newark, mostly due to United Airlines' increased use of wide-body aircraft.

Over the long term, we shouldn’t have political gerrymandering in America, just a fair fight between Republicans and Democrats based on who’s got better ideas. But since Texas is taking direction from a partisan White House and gerrymandering in the middle of a decade to try and maintain the House despite their unpopular policies, I have tremendous respect for how Governor Newsom has approached this. He’s put forward a smart, measured approach in California, designed to address a very particular problem at a very particular moment in time.
We’re grateful to President @BarackObama for being in this fight with us and supporting our mission. California is advancing a process that gives voters the final say on implementing new maps. This is a fair and responsible response to Trump’s unprecedented power grab.

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

Trump knows he is going to LOSE in 2026. His plan to rig new Congressional seats is going to backfire — thanks to California. Now, he’s clamoring for other ways to cook the results. This man reeks of DESPERATION. Let’s keep up the pressure.

Early voting starts today and this is our chance to change NJ. If you’re still undecided, read my op-ed published today. This campaign is about real reform, not soundbites and putting people before politics. nj.com/opinion/2025/06/the-s…
