IT’S ‘THE END OF THE LINE’ But not (yet) the end of The Machine

Excellent article by NJ Democrat on NJ's June 10 primary elections which marks an unprecedented shake-up with no candidates benefiting from the historically rigged party ballot “county line,” creating a competitive political landscape.

Tulsa announces reparations for the 1921 ‘Black Wall Street’ massacre It took decades of research by historians and journalists — and reports by state and federal commissions — to uncover the violence that claimed more than 300 Black lives.

The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.

Feds look to drop oversight of bank accused of discrimination in Newark • New Jersey Monitor A judge ordered federal oversight after Lakeland Bank was accused of lending discrimination in 2022 in Newark. Feds now want to end oversight.

NJCA is pleased Provident Bank reaffirmed commitment to disburse $12M loan subsidy in 2022 DOJ consent order. But bigger concern is the message the Trump administration is sending to financial institutions.: bad actors in redlining may not be held accountable.

It’s on record.

Trump's bill adds $2.4 trillion to U.S. debt over 10 years, per nonpartisan analysis The analysis by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office also found that the version of the bill passed by the House last month would lead to nearly 11 million people going uninsured.

We have to put the public back in public safety. That means addressing root causes like poverty, housing insecurity, lack of healthcare access, and educational inequity. Appreciate the conversation, @VanLathan.

Progressives Need to Stand Up for LaMonica McIver The charges against McIver are a form of political intimidation directed with particular force against Black politicians—but it will work only if the people don’t have her back.

We stand with @replamonica.bsky.social!

Republicans Slip Nonprofit Killer Bill Into Budget Plan The “nonprofit killer bill” is hidden at the very end of Republicans’ massive 389-page budget package.

The GOP’s “big beautiful bill” includes a clause giving Donald Trump the ability to revoke the tax-exempt status of any group the Treasury Department says is a terrorism supporter.

The bill is in the reconciliation process, meaning it only requires a simple majority in the House and Senate to pass.

"All this bill does is take away healthcare for millions of Americans in order to pay for giant tax breaks for billionaires and big corporations.

And that's not what the American people want." - Ranking Member Frank Pallone (D-NJ)

Thank you, @rasjbaraka.bsky.social, @repbonnie.bsky.social, @replamonica.bsky.social, and @menendez.house.gov!

Medicaid cuts will devastate N.J. Our GOP congressmen are holding the knife | Opinion Any vote to cut Medicaid is a choice — a choice by Reps. Van Drew, Smith, and Kean to side with billionaires over working families

Rep Tom Kean Jr (R #NJ07) is on the Energy and Commerce Committee, "where decisions on the Medicaid cuts are being made. Instead of using that role to protect the people he represents, Kean is backing the cuts and repeating the false claim that it’s only about eliminating “waste, fraud, and abuse.”
