A small glimmer of hope: the recently signed federal budget bills include full funding for LIHEAP!
LIHEAP helps over 240,000 New Jersey households pay their energy bills, including seniors, people with disabilities, and low income families.

Anthony is calling attention to the challenges South Jersey riders face: fewer transit options & rising costs. Higher fares are hitting hard where service is limited.

🚏 Transit is how we stay connected: to school, to work, to the people we love.
Jasai’s story reminds us that affordability is at the heart of transit equity.

It’s transit equity week, so of course the Trump administration is blocking one of the most important transit projects in the country.

So why exactly did Trump finally stand up to PJM and what does it mean? Check out this thread 👇👇👇
(hint: it’s in part because of all the work we’ve done pressuring PJM from here in NJ!)

For years, states have been pushing PJM – the Mid-Atlantic power grid operator – to fix rising electricity costs. On Friday, the Trump Administration released new principles on cost fairness, signed by the governors of the 13 affected states. www.energy.gov/documents/st...

Sorry but this is the most generic ass mascot I’ve ever seen. Can’t relate to the “he’s kinda cute tho 👉👈” crowd.
This is what happens when you use AI instead of doing what has consistently worked in the past: commissioning a talented furry artist.

Well I didn’t hear any mention of clean energy, which makes sense given one of his campaign promises was 100% clean energy, a law that did not pass during his reign. But also I didn’t hear much on energy affordability at all, which is surprising given it was central to Sherrill’s campaign. #NJSOTS

The bottleneck at Secaucus is terrible design! Anyone who wants to take transit to MetLife — a totally reasonable choice — has to go to Secaucus first, which is not exactly the gold standard of people-oriented transit development.
Now imagine thousands of Europeans trying to navigate that.

The World Cup is a great opportunity to evaluate and improve our transit system, especially around MetLife.
As I told a reporter once, “It is considered a rite of passage in New Jersey to sit in traffic for two hours after an event at MetLife.”

Okay, good self-deprecating NJ Transit joke.
Gov Murphy was dealt a BAD hand, and we knew transit wasn’t going to be solved in just one or two terms. The Corporate Transit Fee prevented it from getting worse, but there’s no doubt CEO Kolluri has his work cut out for him. The work continues! #NJSOTS
