I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Body-worn camera vids already released show a federal agent explaining he’s arresting Newark’s mayor (who left the property voluntarily) on the say-so of the US deputy attorney general (see the video in the story).

In a rare move, a Dem congressman lit into NJ's Dem governor for selling out poor and minority residents by shutting down a hospital in Long Branch.

The lobbyist for the hospital chain that benefits? The governor's former chief of staff.

It’s unclear to me how the Republican candidate for NJ governor might handle vaccines, given his public statements.

But whoever is elected is inheriting a concerning trend in childhood vax rates in NJ.

In 5 NJ counties, fewer than 90% of students are fully vaccinated + we’ve lost herd immunity.
