Sorry @GovMurphy there is just ZERO chance that the bill will not lead to more corruption. Stop the gaslighting--it's made it worse.

Tldr; Fulop said if he had been offered the NYC job 1.5 years ago under the condition that he couldn't run for governor, he woulda taken the job. Has no regrets. Is very happy about this job.

That @StevenFulop conversation I promised: See it TONIGHT 6pm. Who was the first call he got on election night? Thoughts on @MikieSherrill and @Jack4NJ. Rating his job as mayor (affordability, crime) Will he endorse a successor? Plus there's a LIVE chat.

We deserve to know things like this. But @Jack4NJ wants to make police internal affairs files secret. Scary and dangerous. @MikieSherrill tell us where you stand on police misconduct files.

"The police sergeant dispatched to 911 calls reporting gunfire and a woman screaming near a Hunterdon County home this summer instead drove to an ATM in the opposite direction and made a personal transaction, authorities announced Thursday" holy shit

Re-sharing my op-ed Tldr: @Jack4NJ proposal would let officers kick, punch, choke, and taser folks without even reporting it. That departs from 25 yrs of bipartisan policy and is dangerous. @MikieSherrill, tell us wear you stand. https://t.co/jQc3foPR1R

The people who lost their minds about Cracker Barrell changing its clip art think that the media is silly for reporting about a historical building being demolished.

The state corruption case against George Norcross isn't quite dead yet. But even if AG Platkin successfully appeals its dismissal, the tea leaves suggest the next governor — whether Jack Ciatarelli or Mikie Sherrill — will drop it.

"There will never be enough taxes for Mikie." I’ve made it clear — no sales tax hike, and real relief on income and property taxes. Mikie refuses to commit to anything. As Congressman @ByronDonalds said, she’s just another tax-and-spend Democrat.

Public notices keep residents informed about what important things are going on in town, so this makes it SO much harder to monitor local government.

Decided to see what public notices will look like once agencies only have to publish on their websites. Every newspaper notice goes into a searchable database. The websites look like this, so you have to click every link to find out what is going on:

A new bill introduced by New Jersey state @SenatorJoeCryan would make it illegal in the state to record telephone calls or other conversations unless all parties consent. Under the current state law, only one party to a conversation is required to consent to a recording.

#NJ gubernatorial candidate Jack Ciattarelli is getting an endorsement so big, it might lead to victory (Lakewood Vaad). He made an appearance with Muslims4Jack too ā€œWe want to have a ban on same-sex marriage…I was blamed that somebody said you are taking money from Jews.ā€

I don’t think most people know who Jack Posobiec is. Most people aren’t online and don’t pay close attention to politics. He’s this guy.

In this op-ed, I explain NJ's 25-year, bipartisan requirement that every use of force is reported and show why that reporting promotes accountability, enables good community-police relations, saves money, and protects people. Pls read and share! https://t.co/jQc3foPjcj
