🇺🇸 New Jersey streets were left COVERED in fireworks debris after Diwali celebrations.
Police are overseeing cleanup as crews hose down streets LITTERED with spent firecrackers and trash.
Celebrating is one thing. Leaving the entire mess for someone else to clean up is another.

Mehdi Hasan Confronts Nancy Mace Over Her Comments About Muslims — Then the Argument Turns Personal
Mehdi Hasan: The idea that Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed support Sharia law is absurd. They’re more supportive of gay and transgender rights than Nancy Mace.
And when Ivanka Trump wore a hijab in a mosque, I don’t remember Nancy Mace attacking her. When Donald Trump wore a kippah at a Jewish institution, she didn’t attack him either. This is about picking on Muslims to get votes.
You also said every terrorist is Muslim. That’s simply not true. There are Hindu, Christian and Jewish terrorists too.
Mehdi Hasan: You still haven’t explained why you support a woman in a Texas grocery store attacking two Muslim American women and telling them to leave the country.
You also support banning Muslims from public office. This is all cynical election politics.
Nancy Mace: For the first time in my life, I agree with Donald Trump. You’re an untrustworthy, nasty woman.
Mehdi Hasan: Trump endorsed your opponent, and you put out an AI video pretending he endorsed you. Why did you do that?
Nancy Mace: This is stupid. You’re trying to smear and defame me. I do not get drunk.
Mehdi Hasan: I asked whether you were drunk when you posted the video. Your former communications director told New York Magazine that you had staff members buying alcohol for you during the workday.
Nancy Mace: That’s not true. That never happened.
Mehdi Hasan: I’m telling you what your former communications director said. Take it up with her.
Nancy Mace: You’re making things up and smearing me.
Mehdi Hasan: Donald Trump doesn’t like you, your former staff don’t like you, and Muslims don’t like you because of what you’ve said about us.
People are freaking out about this guy's religious observance during his work hours
It's better than taking a smoke break, he's parked responsibly and isn't causing any inconvenience to other people
And to be fair, working a dead-end job, it probably helps to keep him sane
Chill out internet

MSNOW: What is your message now to Jewish voters nationally and what you will do to protect them?
Abdul El-Sayed: I’m committed to Jewish safety, and we are united against discrimination. The U.S. spends billions to carry out genocide and apartheid against Palestinians. The genocide in Gaza with our complicity is continuing right now. Nobody wants to talk about that.
FULL INTERVIEW: Senator-elect James Talarico joins ‘The View’ to discuss his historic win in Texas, how he plans to address the affordability crisis, and why he’s looking forward to working with Republicans.
Egyptian-American surgeon Adam Hamawy has won New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District, becoming the state’s first Muslim member of Congress.
A former US Army combat surgeon, he volunteered in Gaza and says what he witnessed there pushed him into politics.
.@JamesTalarico: There is something broken in America.
Our economic system is broken. Our political system is broken. Even our relationships with each other feel broken.
That’s because the most powerful people in the world want it that way.
They want us looking left and right at each other instead of looking up at them. The real fight in this country is not left vs right, it’s top vs bottom.
Tonight we sent a crystal clear message to the people at the top: We will not be conquered.
‘Tonight we can turn that inshallah into alhamdulillah’.
Democrat Abdul El-Sayed gave an impassioned victory speech as he beat Republican Mike Rogers in the Michigan senate race.
Democrats will now control the House and Senate and be able to hold Trump accountable. That's great.
At a time of massive income and wealth inequality, we must do more. We must aggressively fight for working families.
No more excuses.

Tonight, I make a solemn promise to every single Texan. Whether you voted for me or Governor Abbott, or felt so betrayed by a broken politics that you did not vote at all.
Hear what Texas said today, loud and clear: Your government belongs to you. And as your governor, I will never forget it. There will be no special set of rules for the wealthy and powerful. No looking the other way when someone in my own party does wrong.
The trust you have placed in me tonight is not a blank check. It is a sacred responsibility. And I intend to earn it every single day.
