So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

If the government were functioning, I’d be against a shutdown. The government is not functioning. Democrats should stand their ground and refuse to fund DOGE. www.politico.com/news/2025/02...

Proud of the work my law firm did in this case! "An Arizona judge dismissed a lawsuit seeking to upend election policies in Yavapai County. The decision delivered a blow to a right-wing organization founded by Stephen Miller which brought the challenge." www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

If you are in New Jersey, the Congressmen who voted to deprive us of the services our tax dollars pay for while increasing the debt by $4.5 trillion are: Rep Chris Smith: (202) 225-3765 Rep Jeff Van Drew: (202) 225-6572 Rep Tom Kean Jr: (202) 225-5361 Now light up their phones.

If Speaker Mike Johnson hates entitlements, why is his district in Louisiana entitled to so much more in federal spending than it pays in federal tax dollars? Why is Rep.Tom Kean willing to slash Medicaid for people in NJ when our federal taxes pay for states like Louisiana?

Leadership is doubling down, but GOP members are getting nervous about the budget’s extreme unpopularity. You can call your Representative now at 202-224-3121.

We don't talk much about Congressman Chris Smith in NJ. Maybe it's because he mostly lives in Virginia. He's getting ready to vote on a budget that cuts Medicaid to his constituents while adding 4.5 trillion in debt. Let's tell him to vote no. DC: 202-225-3765 NJ: 732-504-0567

Yeah, whatever bub. In New Jersey, we call what you and Elon are going to try "pulling a Menendez". You're going to look just as stupid.

So Congressman Jeff Van Drew is getting nervous. He's complaining to Mike Johnson that he's under pressure. Let's keep reminding him that we're gonna be pissed if he cuts Medicaid while adding 4.5 trillion to the debt. Call him in DC: (202) 225-6572 www.cnn.com/2025/02/24/p...

NJ GOP Reps Kean, Smith & Van Drew are responsible for 208.5K children on Medicaid in their respective districts. Rep Pallone and we all ask them to reconsider billionaire tax breaks at the expense of Medicaid for our country. Does New Jersey have a heart? #Demvoice1 bsky.app/profile/acti...

California pays about $89 billion more in federal tax dollars every year than it receives. Wouldn't it be more EFFICIENT for it to just keep $40 billion to rebuild Los Angeles than to ask Congress for it? Signed, New Jersey (Another donor state paying for the taker states)

Tom Homan should stop asking for entitlements. State and local employees have their own responsibilities. They aren't supposed to do ICE's job. If Tom Homan would rather yell at people who don't work for him instead of making ICE do its job, then we should cut ICE from the budget as inefficient.

The New Jersey State Democratic Party just lost the Governor's race next November. They re-instituted the undemocratic primary ballot practice that alienates voters and keeps them home. The Grassroots will not show up for them. They don't know how to win without them.

www.insidehighered.com/news/governa... Non-disclosure agreements regarding sexual harassment are unenforceable in NJ. Secrecy allowed church members to abuse children, seminarians & members for decades. It’s past time for transparency.

Let's give a shout out for all the New Jersians who went to Trenton yesterday to be disrespected by our elected Dems & GOP. See NJ is special in this way: We are corrupt enough to be so flagrantly bold for voter suppression as to design their ballots so the machine stays in control. #DemVoice1
