As the fallout from Delaney Hall continues, would strongly recommend this photo piece by the The Jersey Vindicator jerseyvindicator.bsky.social from earlier this week, which pokes some important holes in the federal government’s arguments about how the Baraka arrest unfolded: jerseyvindicator.org/2025/05/12/how…

Officials may take away the public’s right to park in the State House parking garage that was built with taxpayer money. Story by Steve Janoski. jerseyvindicator.org/2025/05/22/who…

Yes it’s newsworthy when the folks in Trenton make it even harder to go testify or report about what our government is up to. Parking near the statehouse is a nightmare if you can’t get into the garage. And it already requires taking time off work to go testify or listen.

In my inglorious days as a Statehouse bureau chief, I was always nervous about reporters walking in the dark back to the bureau at 50 W. State Street. Has anyone on SH panel considered these safety concerns?

Press room eliminated by judge at federal courthouse in Newark. jerseyvindicator.org/2025/05/29/new…

Joe Danielsen (who has two taxpayer funded jobs, one of which was handed to him via the machine) and who led the effort to gut OPRA so that it’s harder for us to see how taxpayer money is spent…wants to think he cares about transparency. That’s cute.

We hear about fighting Trump but how will Steven Fulop & Ras J. Baraka fight Scutari/Coughlin when they hold your budget hostage in exchange for a bad bill. Will you cave like Murphy did & gut OPRA, etc? How would you handle this scenario? (Diff than fighting machine at ballot box)

The NJEA-funded super PAC backing NJEA President Sean Spiller spent $8.3 million on canvassing as of 5/27. The super PAC is going to spend more money just on canvassing than Spiller's five Democratic rivals are allowed to spend on their entire campaigns

Stuff like this is why folks are fed up with NJ Dems & why whoever gets the nomination is going to have an uphill battle to beat Jack C. (But machine candidates like Sherrill, Sweeney, Gottheimer will have the hardest time b/c folks are sick of it!) (Read entire thread👇)
