I’m officially running to be the Ranking Member of the House Oversight Committee.

These are not normal times—and this cannot be a business-as-usual moment.

Read my full letter to my colleagues here:

Gotta love when politicians act like they’re helping workers… but it’s really just performative noise that benefits businesses

Ras Baraka being in the news today has me more motivated to figure this out

New to New Jersey and trying to figure out which gubernatorial candidate actually cares about the people. NJ locals, who should I be paying attention to? #NewJerseyPolitics #NJGovernor2025

Hate the timeline that we are currently living in, but never been happier to say I live in New Jersey than right now

Any guesses on who I’m talking about?

Anyway, I’m just here for the vibes and the unintentional sociology degree that TT is giving me

I’m pretty sure the only reason the right is on board with this is because they don’t realize the previous administration actually started the ball rolling on this

I don’t know if it’s a bigger surprise that it took this long or the fact that they’re actually acknowledging that there is something wrong and he needs to be replaced

Remember when Barrett said the meaning of the constitution doesn’t change overtime yet has voted in cases to change the meaning of the laws? I wonder if she’s gonna start going back to her original talking points now that she’s seeing her power get stripped away

It’s the never-ending storm of awfulness

I’m just flabbergasted that these people feel so entitled to come out and say such horrible and ableist BS

We all knew the Republicans were going to vote yay on this because of course, but these four Democrats need to be called to task:
Jared Golden (Maine)
Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (Washington)
Henry Cuellar (Texas)
Ed Case (Hawaii)

It’s almost like the difference lies in the intentions behind the protests
One group: protesting genocide, demanding justice, overwhelmingly peaceful
The other: trying to overturn a democratic election, attacking police, erecting gallows, smearing literal feces in the Capitol

It is estimated that over 100,000 people were in DC at the Hands Off Protest

Compare that to about 10,000 at the Jan 6 “rally”

Yet there was no violence, no ☠️ and no attempt to overthrow the government

Weird how that is

Maybe if Chuck Schumer stopped hanging out with his Republican imaginary friends in his brain & started listening to his constituents things would be different
Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.

We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.

They own what happens next.

The Facts About the Immigration Executive Order

What It Does:
*Limits birthright citizenship to children born in the U.S. only if one parent is a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident.
*Excludes children born to undocumented parents or those on temporary visas.

Just a reminder Elon Musk is self-diagnosed with Asperger’s.

But did you know Asperger’s isn’t even a diagnosis in the DSM-5?

In fact, the term “Asperger’s” originates from Nazi-era eugenics.

My social experiment: tracking the price of eggs & gas. This is what 47 inherited; EOD on 1/20/25 in New Jersey

It’s astounding how some people love to martyr themselves, acting as if they’re the ones facing systemic persecution or a long history of hatred.

Day one is coming to an end and 47 is proving to be worse than 45
