Trump extended the deployment of the National Guard in D.C. through 2029... And it's costing taxpayers $1.4 BILLION. It's a waste of the National Guard's time and a waste of taxpayer money.

A man died at Delaney Hall in Newark on Saturday. He is the 2nd death connected to that building in 12 months. And there's talk of a 3rd death that's gone unreported. Here's what happened at Delaney Hall this weekend:

Electricity is too damn expensive in New Jersey. And at the core of the problem is an organization you probably never heard of.

Chevron just disclosed $12 billion in earnings for the 2nd quarter. That's $9.6 billion more than this quarter last year. ExxonMobil's earnings were more than double this quarter last year at $14.5 billion. No wonder Trump is in no rush to end the war in Iran.

The Trump administration just admitted in court that it killed $7.6 billion in clean energy grants based on which states voted for Harris. New Jersey lost $156 million that would have put solar on thousands of low-income homes. Compare that to Biden's Inflation Reduction Act investments...

The NRC just proposed eliminating the standard that's kept radiation exposure as low as possible for 50 years. Right now there are two rules:

3 companies now control 70-80% of the firetrucks sold in America. But it didn't happen overnight.

Trump's lack of tact in dealing with Iran continues to result in a gas tax on the American people. It feels like we could be heading back toward that $4.56 high.

Truth Social is selling faster access to Trump's posts so investors can time the market better. I really wish I was making that up. Here are the details:

Congress didn't approve the war in Iran... Yet they passed a reconciliation bill in the House (216-214) that throws another $60 billion at it. Where is this money coming from, and why isn't it being used to help taxpayers instead?

~4.5 million children currently have no health insurance. But there's a new plan being proposed to get that number to zero:

Trump just hit Canada with a 50% tariff. Key exports like energy were spared... But it hit a wide range of consumer items. And we know that companies will pass on this cost to consumers. It's just another tax levied by Trump against the American people.

The FDA now says the positive Cyclospora result for Taylor Farms was a false positive. It could be true. But more concerning is how rational it is to be skeptical of such a reversal in Trump’s administration.

DHS was trying to avoid releasing the name of the officer who killed Johan Sebastián Durán Guerrero in Maine last week. But then his ex-wife recognized him from the footage. And the insight she gave is incredibly damning.

The threshold to qualify for federal disaster aid in New Jersey is ~$18.5M. The snowstorm in February caused $84.4M in damage eligible for federal reimbursement. Guess how much Trump has released?

It speaks volumes about the state of our Democracy when NBC, ABC, and CNN all refuse to interrupt programming for a presidential address.

Joan Sebastián Guerrero was leaving for his delivery route in Biddeford, Maine on Monday morning when ICE stopped his car and shot him through the windshield... And he wasn't even the person they were after.

Trump is addressing the nation tonight… And it might end up being his worst speech yet.

On Tuesday, administration officials ordered ICE to stop most traffic stops. Today, Trump said that won't be happening. Even though it led to 2 murders in the span of a week. He can't help but shoot his own administration in the foot.

Trump ordering an investigation into Taco Bell as a cause for the cyclosporiasis outbreak seems like incompetence… But it’s actually malice. He knows people are angry that the cuts his administration made put us in this situation. And he’s fueling the fire.

The ICE warehouse in Roxbury, NJ is back on. 9 days after DHS told a federal court it was abandoning the project. Here's where things stand now:

In Albania, they want to develop protected wetlands for a Kushner resort. In the New Jersey Highlands, they want to develop farmland into a warehouse, which can affect drinking water for 5 million people. The powerful continue to be able to move mountains for land at the expense of everyone else.

It's been over 200 days since the Epstein file disclosure deadline. That hasn't happened. What -has- happened in that time is a war at home with ICE and a war abroad with Iran. We need to see through the distractions and refocus on the fact that a sitting president's name is in those files.

A man in Rochester wrote an angry email to the head of ICE. Five months later, federal agents showed up at his door... Then tracked him to a hotel two states away. Let me tell you why every American should be alarmed by this.

Trump's administration just released a report that branded the leaders of the Smithsonian Institution as radical activists who cannot be trusted. That's rich coming from the administration that turned America's 250th celebration into a J6 reunion.

So Trump overhyped his Freedom 250 celebration, under-delivered, and made his buddies rich in the process? I guess he's keeping the promise of running the country like his businesses.

Immigrants read the Declaration of Independence the way it was meant to be read: As a promise. My parents crossed a hemisphere because they believed it. They bet their whole lives on it. Happy 250th birthday to the country that gave my family an opportunity to build a better future.

The Supreme Court literally rewrote campaign finance law on Tuesday. And this decision could be worse than Citizens United.

ICE arrested 10,000 people in 5 days. DHS claims nearly 70% of them have pending criminal charges and previous convictions. Even if we assumed that's true... What about the ~3,000 who didn't? How is it justified to arrest thousands of people who have committed no crime?

Thousands of people on Threads have reported student loan payments that doubled (or even tripled) over the last 24 hours. The SAVE plan that kept payments affordable for millions ended on July 1st. Where the hell are people supposed to get the extra money when every dollar goes toward existing?
