Reposted from The New York Times

Alina Habba, the interim U.S. attorney in New Jersey, said she had directed lawyers in her office to investigate Gov. Phil Murphy over a statewide policy that limits how much help local police can provide federal immigration officers. She previously represented President Trump in civil lawsuits.

I think Murphy has opposed congestion pricing (and pushed highway widenings) because he really believes we can save Happy Motoring with electric cars. I can't believe he'd fight so hard and long, and fuck up his state so much, just to pander to a bunch of losers who probably voted Republican anyway.

I think it's way simpler than that, he fits the description of the kind of person who was always gonna go apeshit over congestion pricing to a T. Before he got into politics he was an extremely high level Goldman Sachs executive, and he lives in NJ. Dude is used to driving into Manhattan on a whim.

The $9 or $15 or whatever is the same to these people as you or I bending over to pick up a penny off the sidewalk, but congestion pricing just makes them go completely feral in the same way some medieval king would have an entire village slaughtered because one guy gave them the middle finger.

This just in: aligning with fascists will not save you from fascists

How does this woman still have her law license?

NYT headline "Top US prosecutor." Habba is yet to prosecute a SINGLE case. She lost Trump hundreds of millions and was practically laughed out of court on at least three occasions. 🙄

She’s a stupid b!tch that spread her legs for Trump to get 15 minutes of fame, the fame turns out to be being exposed as an imbecile.

@govmurphy.bsky.social 's moronic sucking up keeps paying off: https://www.app.com/story/news/education/2025/03/31/new-jersey-phil-murphy-decries-school-cuts-donald-trump/82747036007/. Can't wait to see what anti-rewards his beloved turnpike expansion brings us. Unclear the intended rcpts of that (contractors or fabled working class who drive into NYC?) but I'm sure they'll piss on us too.

Probably a good thing this lady has no skill as a lawyer to speak of. We know why Trump hired her.

I am not worried about the Governor, considering how bad Alina Haber was with her job.

This seems to misread what Murphy is doing: he authentically believes congestion pricing is bad. And b/c of that, he is allying with whomever to try and get it overturned.

He's not a sucker. He's just wrong.

Trump has betrayed everyone who ever worked for or with him as soon as it gives him a slight advantage. Take note Elon.

Or when he has no further use for someone. It’s crazy newer people think they’ll be exceptions. Rudy Giuliani is nowhere to be found now, after he lost his law license & everything he owned lying for Trump about the 2020 election & workers in GA. Rudy got what he deserved, but not what he expected.

Wasn't she the lawyer for her husband's parking garage before trump thought she was attractive enough to represent him?

Alina Habba is a laughing stock as an attorney.
