It's clear New Jerseyans understand that clean energy is the solution to the affordability crisis, not the problem.

I spoke to @keatonpeters.bsky.social about how energy affordability became a top election issue this year! Full piece here >>

By far the most bizarre poll interaction I’ve ever seen:

Poll worker: “Would you like a sticker?”
Voter: “What for?”

Election Day is a good reminder that stickers are an underutilized motivational tool for adults.

Just a reminder you can simply scroll past any analysis of NJ’s early voting/polling if you want. You don’t even have to read it or even post a take about it. You can put your phone down and go say hi to your neighbors or something.

Genuine question as we head into lame duck: are there any plans for the statehouse commish to reopen NJ Cafe? Or is the public going to be forced to smell the leg’s catered meals after security took away the utensils we brought to hopefully eat one meal of yogurt and granola?

My friend in Asbury Park found this kitten who needs a new home! She gets along VERY well with other cats and is VERY sweet. If you are interested let me know and I’ll connect you!

(My friend has dubbed her Peewee bc she is very small and wears a gray & white suit)

HOISTED BY MY OWN PITARD: was woken up at 7am by a police officer knocking on my door telling me I needed to move my car since the town is doing an improvement project for the street I live on.

HELL YEAH ROAD DIETS & NEW SIDEWALKS. but also told him they need “no parking” signs.

Let this slack message I sent to my staff while in the midst of a fever 3 years ago serve as a warning to get your flu shot

The way this is written in past tense conveys a kind of unintentional wistful optimism tbh

working in policy is so stressful right now even messages that are intended as reassurances seem ominous

As a former first responder, I know there's nothing more important than getting to a scene as quickly and safely as possible.

This isn't just happening in the city -- just look at routes 1, 18, 22, etc here in Jersey during rush hour.

Traffic is killing people in more ways than one.
When streets are clogged with cars, emergency vehicles get stuck in gridlock. We need the 34th Street Busway now.

I talked to @fortune.com about how everyday New Jerseyans are hurt by data centers and how it's affecting our governor's race. We need a leader who will protect residents from rising costs and create a more equitable energy future for all!

Gov Murphy CV’d a bill that would require data centers to report their energy & water usage to the BPU, claiming a study is needed first.

Let me repeat: this bill would only require REPORTING energy and water usage. *REPORTING*. Not even REGULATING.

maybe we just let them fix the part of AWS that controls NYT games and we let the rest of the internet die

shoutout to whoever remembered that the “NO KINGS” rallying cry came about because of congestion pricing, something Tr*mp was wholly unsuccessful in killing
