From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

It’s wild to hear that petty Donald Trump punished NJ’s Jack Ciattarelli by abandoning his pledge to promise funding for the crucial NJ->NYC Gateway Tunnel project on a tele-townhall, which might’ve helped Jack’s election prospects, because JC told a reporter he’d give Trump an A grade.

Two weird “grassroots” campaigns in NJ this year. Both for Ciattarelli.
1. a petition in complaint about electric rates, which I believe was used to harvest contact info
2. an environmentalist appeal “NJ-Stop the Madness of Overdevelopment and environmental destruction”
Not typical GOP strongholds.

New: The FBI is quietly urging ICE agents to properly ID themselves in the field.
In a bulletin to law enforcement last month, it warned of criminals posing as ICE to rob, rape, kidnap—a problem it says now demands national coordination to confront.

Such a characteristic dynamic, righties saying the protests were "funded by Soros" and lefties responding with fact checks & empirical observations. Ships passing in the night.
What the righties want to say is: the left is fundamentally illegitimate. That, to them, is the core truth.

Not sure if it’s truth or trolling (although I’d suspect better of ES), but #Epstein and #EpsteinFiles should still be trending all day every day.
