This is what a leader says. This is how a leader leads. This is a true American leader. Thank you, Governor.

Arresting a judge? This is crazy.

Kingwood (NJ) Democrats continue to work with anyone in our area to stock our local food pantry.

Hundreds came out to march to save our rights and our democracy today in Lambertville and New Hope, river towns in NJ and Pa. Great speakers, great energy and great messages!

One of a number of last minute gatherings. This, in a small NJ river town across from PA. Lots of passion! Lots of solidarity.

Musk is full of it as is his puppet! Protesters paid? No way. The only payment will be the satisfaction of stopping this madness coming from them and their hateful minions

And it will have an even greater effect on less affluent students. It’s Jim Crow under the cloak of cost savings! Disgraceful.

Great to see a ground swell effort of β€œstep up, speak out, protest, visit representatives’ offices”. Our Representatives can’t solve this alone. Our voices are more numerous & inspiring. Of course, support candidates & vote but do more. Our future depends on all of us & what we do now.

In past decades, citizens drove change against unjust wars & for equal rights. We can do this. Be peaceful & strong, vocal & factual, resilient & united. If you regret the vote you cast in Nov, forgive yourself. Together, we’ll come out on the right side of history. Per Ringo, β€œpeace and love.”

Because the average billionaire is self-absorbed and could not care less about the well-being of others.

Trump Administration Shocks Senior F.B.I. Ranks by Moving to Replace Them (Gift Article) Top officials have been told to retire or be fired in the coming days, fueling fear within an agency that has been a target of President Trump and Kash Patel, his nominee to be F.B.I. director.

What on earth? Call your Senators! This is another outrageous move.

Tell your senators to vote NO on RFK Jr.

Robert Kennedy Jr. is a notorious conspiracy theorist who has spent years spreading dangerous misinformation about vaccines and public health. Confirming RFK Jr. as HHS Secretary would endanger millions of Americans. app.sosha.ai/s/XijwhOCb
