Twitter is a cesspool.

Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

I’ll continue to stand up to the attacks on public broadcasting and support local networks in Jersey and across the country.

That is not a denial.

If you're serious about crime prevention you don't cut $1 billion from D.C.'s budget or put language in your signature bill prohibiting DOJ from funding community violence intervention and prevention initiative programs, not that anyone will call you out for it
