New Jersey can’t risk a governor who’s vowed to bring the MAGA agenda to New Jersey, defund Planned Parenthood, and supports an abortion ban.

Donald Trump is all in for @Jack4NJ, because he knows that Jack is "100% MAGA" and would do anything Trump wants as governor.

I can't imagine that the Puritanical Pixie's "Well, there are Democrats as nutty as Donald Trump" defense will delight Donald.
MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

Trump’s regime knows they can’t silence us all through investigations, prosecutions or the deployment of brutal secret police. They can only try to silence dissent through fear.

We’re going to have to do the same with education and worker’s rights.
California, Oregon and Washington announced yesterday they’ve created their own health alliance, saying the CDC has become “a political tool that increasingly peddles ideology instead of science.”

New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Delaware, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island have now done the same.
