Companies like Kalshi claim to offer legal sports betting in every state — but refuse to follow the gambling laws of any state. We need the Supreme Court to resolve this issue and recognize that Congress did not silently make the sports-betting industry immune from state law.
Our consent judgment with Meta is a crucial step toward keeping kids safe online—but not the only one. Thanks to Governor Sherrill and the NJ Legislature, our Age-Appropriate Design Code takes effect next year to protect minors from compulsive use and unwanted contact with strangers.
NJ law requires internet dating sites to be transparent about their criminal background screening policies. We're enforcing the law to ensure New Jersey daters know what platforms are doing – or not doing – to protect them from online predators. www.njoag.gov/ag-davenport...
I’m (again) calling for @usenvironment.bsky.social to require data collection and monitoring of microplastics in our drinking water to protect the health of New Jerseyans. Given that kids are especially at risk from exposure to microplastics, it’s time for EPA to act. www.njoag.gov/ag-davenport...
For years, Amazon has misrepresented to its business customers how it sets advertising prices — extracting billions from unwitting advertisers and driving up prices. With the Federal Trade Commission and other AGs, we're suing to protect small and medium-sized businesses as well as consumers.
Law enforcement is investigating a multi-victim shooting that took place in Trenton last night. We mourn those who have died and are wounded. We will keep working so this stops happening.
Congratulations to the graduates of the 168th NJ State Police Recruit Class! After 26 weeks of rigorous training, you have proven that you are ready to serve and protect the people of New Jersey. I’m proud of each of you and wish you a safe, successful career.
Public officials have a special duty to ensure that they follow the law. The defendant not only broke the law, but he then used criminal proceeds to fund his political campaign. Today’s guilty plea demonstrates that no one is above the law. www.njoag.gov/ag-davenport...
Residents of our care facilities deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. The defendant abdicated her responsibilities, assaulted a resident, and then attempted to cover it up. Our office will always stand up for and protect the most vulnerable members of our community.
The conduct in this case is deeply disturbing. This defendant was entrusted with the care of an elderly resident and instead assaulted and neglected him. Such conduct is wholly unacceptable. Those who abuse or neglect elderly residents in their care must be held accountable.
Statement By Attorney General Jennifer Davenport on Courts Blocking USPS from Implementing President Trump’s Unconstitutional Executive Order
The fight to protect our kids online is far from over. When profits are put over their safety, we’re going to act. And we’re not stopping with Meta.
For decades, family planning health programs were driven by science, not politics. By tying funding for essential care to ideology, these new federal rules threaten people's health, drive up costs, and violate the law. We cannot accept that. www.njoag.gov/ag-davenport...
So inspiring to connect with our future leaders at the No Hate in the Garden State Youth Meet & Greet! The Division on Civil Rights is organizing this important work and young minds are guiding it. Together, we will root out hate and bias, building stronger, more inclusive communities in NJ.
Under our Constitution, states run elections—not the federal government, and definitely not the postal service. We are confident the courts will block this unconstitutional attempt by the president to interfere with the states’ administration of free and fair elections.
We have reached an agreement with Meta that is landmark win for New Jersey families. - Vital protections for kids. - More control and transparency for parents. Proud of how far we have come, but there is still much more work ahead of us. www.njoag.gov/attorney-gen...
Today we are announcing a landmark victory for parents and young people everywhere. We took on Meta and, subject to court approval, they've agreed to our demands. This is the era of holding Big Tech accountable.
Today’s young people are tomorrow’s leaders. Winners of the No Hate in the Garden State Youth Competition are working to turn the tide against bias and harassment in New Jersey’s schools. www.njoag.gov/attorney-gen...
On Women’s Equality Day, we celebrate the many women who have fought to expand opportunity and equality—and those continuing that work today. In New Jersey, we’re committed to ensuring every woman has the opportunity to thrive, lead, and succeed.
Dolly Parton has long been an inspiration to me. Her authenticity, humanity and commitment to helping others are examples for us all. May her memory be a blessing.

The defendant is alleged to have used his mobile phone to record ‘upskirt’ videos without his victim’s knowledge. This invasion of privacy violates personal privacy and is not only disturbing, it is criminal. www.njoag.gov/dean-of-rese...
Nothing is more important than protecting our kids. As this case demonstrates, we will use all tools available to pursue people who target, exploit, traffic, and abuse children. Every kid deserves a childhood free from such threats, and we are working tirelessly to protect them.
The Constitution makes clear that states administer elections in America – not the federal government. This is a procedural setback, not a final decision on what the Trump Administration is trying to do. The fight continues.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has cleared the way for President Trump's executive order restricting mail-in voting ahead of midterms.
Safe spaces like the Zone 6 Highland Park Teen Center help young people build confidence, strengthen community, and reach their full potential. It was great to visit and see the welcoming space they’ve created for teens to learn, connect and grow!
Investors deserve a financial market free from fraud and deception. That's why we're suing a Middlesex County man for an alleged scheme that defrauded more than $3.1M from investors - including 12 from New Jersey. www.njoag.gov/nj-securitie...
Jersey City showed up for Pride! Thank you to Jersey City and everyone who came out to celebrate. In New Jersey, we will always stand up for LGBTQ+ communities, defend their rights, and make sure everyone can live openly, safely, and with dignity.
Our law enforcement officers deserve all of our support. Instead, the President is again playing political games with funding that keeps us all safe. We’re co-leading a lawsuit to stop the federal government’s outrageous conduct. www.njoag.gov/ag-davenport...
We stood up for the privacy of truck drivers—just like we stand up for the privacy of all New Jerseyans. The court sided with us, holding that New Jerseyans' private information should not end up in a federal database with no safeguards. www.njoag.gov/wp-content/u...
On Senior Citizens Day, I’m reaffirming New Jersey’s commitment to protecting our older residents from abuse, neglect, and fraud. If you or someone you know needs help, know where to turn and report elder fraud and neglect: njoag.gov/report-abuse-fraud
