🚨EXCLUSIVE >> @FBI agents raided Cleveland office of Ohio voter registration group, in what many consider part of broader Trump administration effort to intimidate and sow doubt about voting integrity in key swing states. Agents fanned out across Ohio, following and questioning canvassers and volunteers.
"Straight up intimidation" said group's board member.

Today is the anniversary of Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court decision that legalized interracial marriage across all 50 states.

It’s important to remember the progress we've made as we celebrate this historic win for love and equality. Happy Loving Day, everyone!

Mumdani is great Mayor

[Matt Friedman @MattFriedmanNJ]

A proposal pushed by the NJEA and school administrators would seek to halt the "death spiral" for school employee health benefits by barring districts from private plans sold and administered by brokerages — like the one chaired by Dem boss George Norcross

When James Dolan cancels the watch party outside MSG, we bring the watch party to you.

Thanks to the @NBA, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of @LinkNYC screens across our city.

LGK.

WOW

[Joey Fox @joeymdfox]

And so what has been the most fascinating era of my life comes to an end.

Thank you to @wildstein for what has been a tremendously rewarding five years, and thank you to NJ Globe readers for following along with me.

Next steps coming soon… I’m not going too far!

[Rep. Mike Levin @RepMikeLevin]

Since the WSJ editorial board mentioned my earlier post about Justice Alito’s son, I’m happy to reply. Pointing out that his son works for an agency whose interests may come before the Supreme Court is not harassment. It is basic transparency.

The federal recusal statute, 28 U.S.C. § 455(a), requires a judge or justice to step aside from any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned. That standard is about public confidence in the courts. It does not require proof of actual bias.

Whether a particular case would require recusal depends on the specific facts, including the nature of the case and the family member’s role. Reasonable people can disagree about where that line should be drawn. But the existence of the relationship itself is a legitimate subject of public discussion.

If the risk of a 4-4 tie were enough to keep a Justice on a case, no Justice would ever recuse from anything, since every recusal raises that same possibility. The recusal statute already weighs that cost and still commands stepping aside when impartiality is reasonably in question.

The public has every right to know about potential conflicts and to debate whether recusal is appropriate. Transparency is not a threat to judicial independence. It is one of the ways judicial independence maintains public trust.

As Trump screamed "Comey was a dirty cop" during "Meet the Press" questions about Trump's Jan 6 lies....

We should note:

1) Comey wasn't employed by FBI on Jan 6, 2021
2) The FBI worked for Donald Trump on Jan 6, 2021
3) Trump launched the Jan 6 prosecutions on Jan 7, 2021

I've been working with @GovSherrillNJ and my colleagues in the delegation to shine a bright light on the conditions detainees are facing inside Delaney Hall, but that level of oversight is impossible when we can't talk with detainees.

These are your taxpayer dollars. You deserve full transparency and accountability for ICE and GEO Group as they continue to hide the truth from the American people.

[Rep. LaMonica McIver @RepLaMonica]

It’s the Steven Miller Special: the cruelty is intentional. We’ve been sounding the alarm on this and we will not stop—shut down Delaney Hall.

[Joyce Alene @JoyceWhiteVance]

They have something to hide. We need to find out what it is.

[Matt Platkin @mattplatkin]

Alongside @NormEisen, @DDFund_, and Washington Litigation Group, we are proud to represent Senators Booker and Cassidy in this bipartisan brief opposing Trump’s illegal Anti-Weaponization Fund.

[Archange Antoine @ArchangeAntoine]

Governor @MikieSherrill you and Attorney General Jennifer Davenport is directly responsible for allowing the State Trooper to violate our constitutional rights and peaceful right to assemble. You allowed them to shoot rubber bullets at us, spray us with pepper spray, hit us with flash grenades, and smoke grenades. They did this to innocent young people, the elderly, students and community and faith leaders. This is a continuation of the New Jersey State Police’s racist anti-Black history and a lack of accountability. Today, Governor Mikie Sherrill was in solitary with fascism and authoritarianism and turned on the citizens and families of New Jersey. We don’t need that complicit leadership in New Jersey. #Immigration #HungerStrike #ICE #NJStateTroopers #DelaneyHall #NJ

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

Next week, Senate Republicans are poised to give ICE and CBP tens of billions of dollars to funnel right to private, well-connected companies like GEO Group.

What’s are they offering to help you? Nothing.

For them, Delaney Hall is just the start. Their corrupt and cruel agenda will be up for a vote.

[CJ Griffin @CJGriffinEsq]

Despite the propaganda from DHS/ICE, it’s important to remember the people detained at Delaney Hall are human beings worthy of compassion.

Governor you launched tear gas canisters into the crowd. I almost passed out. Your officers fired rubber bullets at immigration advocates leaving their hands bloodied.

This is will be a stain in New Jersey's history. You will be a one term Governor.
