I love my family, God, & the USA. I pray & count my blessings everyday. But, I do wonder where did all the Jersey Strong go?
NO DMs, please!

🚨 MOTHER OF MURDER VICTIM TO DEMS: "THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE"

Jessica Gorman, mother of Sheridan Gorman, confronts Rep. Pramila Jayapal after Democrats balked at hearing from Angel Families: "I'm thankful my daughter wasn't ra*ped but just shot in the head... Then you want to dismiss angel families! This is unacceptable."

‼️Yesterday was a morning-into-late-night marathon that culminated in @GovSherrillNJ taking a bow for a $60.7 billion duplicitous dumpster fire fraught with misplaced priorities, plenty of pork for the Majority, and the Left clapping like seals over the railroading of NJ families and businesses.

You had to be there to fully appreciate the hypocrisy. At times, the entitlement on display was enough to choke a horse, and the @NJAssemblyGOP was having none of it.

The last 48 hours have been brutal with the amount of reading, writing & digesting required to get through this debacle (that was dumped on us in the wee hours of Monday morning for a Tuesday vote). On about three hours of sleep & a gallon of coffee, we came in swinging and, at the very least, were resolved to show the people of New Jersey EXACTLY what went down with YOUR MONEY.

Unfortunately, my guess is many in the Majority had a very different experience. All they needed were two things: the green YES button and a finger.

And I think we all know which finger that was.

There are so many parts of this budget that deserve to be exposed, and over the coming days I'm going to do exactly that. From unfair school funding, bizarre Medicaid employer penalties, myopic energy policy, absurd corporate taxes, sloppy mismanagement of SNAP & Medicaid, illegal immigration legal defense funds, ridiculous and unjustified bailouts, forced high-density housing mandates, the endless cost of lawsuits— and the abhorrent backroom budget process itself— I'm going to share as best I can of how, (quite literally) the sausage gets made.

I'll start with a snippet re: Education, because that's been my career long before politics. What happened in this budget to schools in the Highlands, the Pinelands, and so many other communities across New Jersey was a travesty.

Now, even some of the Majority's OWN districts are feeling the heat, but they continue to toe the company line to the detriment of students and families that deserve so much better than this.

[Senator Rand Paul @SenRandPaul]

Upset with the SCOTUS decision today?

Call your senator at [phone] and tell them to support my Constitutional Amendment to end Birthright Citizenship. We must protect the integrity of American citizenship.

[CC is Grateful but WAKE UP MY FELLOW AMERICANS @ccisgrateful]

Didn't the justices even consider the long term ramifications of such a ruling? They basically gave this country away - turned it over to those who have no idea what it truly means to be an American. They basically extended the middle finger to those of us with ancestors who fought in the revolutionary war, those who worked the land to help feed a growing nation, those who endured the hardships of the great depression, those who fought in horrific wars to help save the sovereignty and dignity of other nations. And today the Supreme Court decided We the People are unworthy of our own sovereign land. It's tragic. Actually, terrifying. We deserve better. God Bless America and keep her safe.

@MZHemingway One can't help but believe that those who voted to maintain "birthright citizenship" are onboard with the mission to destroy these the United States of America.

[Nick Sortor @nicksortor]

🚨 JUST IN: Justice Clarence Thomas SLAMS the Supreme Court decision strike down President Trump's birthright citizenship executive order

Thomas writes that the 14th Amendment "was enacted in the wake of the Civil War with the ONE pervading purpose of securing equal citizenship for the FREED SLAVES."

He goes on to say that the Court, meaning the majority now, has REPURPOSED the 14th Amendment to protect its own set of preferred rights that the Reconstruction Congress NEVER contemplated, and that CANNOT find support in the text today.

[Kayleigh McEnany @kayleighmcenany]

🚨BREAKING NEWS: The Supreme Court upholds birthright citizenship, and Justice Thomas pens a POWERFUL dissent.

Thomas accuses the majority of "repurposing" the 14th Amendment "to protect its own set of preferred rights that the Reconstruction Congress never contemplated and that cannot find support in its text."

"Today, the Court does so again by recognizing a constitutional right to citizenship for the children of all foreign birth tourists and illegal aliens."

"I am not sure that today’s opinion will stand the test of
time. The Citizenship Clause 'added greatly to the dignity and glory of American citizenship.' Today’s opinion devalues that citizenship."

"I respectfully dissent." ⬇️

I agree it makes an already flawed process that much more flawed. But, whether ballots can be received up to 5 days after election day is not really the MAIN concern. As long as we have the option to vote via mail in ballot, elections can never be deemed secure. The only way to secure any election is to have one day, in person voting using a paper ballot. No mail in ballots and no voting machines.

I was informed by a TSA agent that when we Americans fly, we wave our constitutional rights. Did you know that? How is that possible? Where is the ACLU when you need them? And what exactly is "random" screening, and how does "random" screening fall under any safety protocol? How absurd! TSA is a display of an abuse of authority that Americans should never be subjected to - yet if you need (or want) to fly the "friendly skies" one has no other choice but to risk being accosted and/or molested by a stranger with a TSA badge. An inhuman act which if happened in any other public forum would result in one being able to press assault charges.

[Carol M. Swain, PhD @carolmswain]

Remember this! I was stopped yesterday at the @Clear checkpoint. The message on the screen said that extra #TSA screening was required. I gave them my REAL ID. I guess they like to raise my blood pressure. @DHSgov. I have TSA pre-check, CLEAR, and a global passport. I guess I look like a terrorist. I’m going to start wearing a hijab. 🧕

“Follow The Science” actually means “QUESTION AUTHORITY” not “Blindly Follow Authority”.

The people who shamed you for questioning authority during COVID are just compliant assholes.

Your government is 100% corrupt. Bought off by corporations & monied interests.

Your government is your enemy NOT your neighbor!

[CC is Grateful but WAKE UP MY FELLOW AMERICANS @ccisgrateful]

Amen

Flock cameras are unconstitutional. Get rid of them all.

[Jimmy Dore @jimmy_dore]

American Hero:

[Shadow of Ezra @ShadowofEzra]

A city in Oregon was forced to permanently remove its Flock cameras after an audit found that federal agencies had access to the system.

The audit revealed that two federal agencies could access the data, including the ability to search the broader network of license plate records for up to six months.

Flock cameras are used as a mass surveillance tool under the guise of public safety.

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

🚨#BREAKING: A former Air Force engineer in Virginia has been arrested after he allegedly damaged / destroyed over a dozen Flock cameras.

When asked why, he said the Flock cams were, "unconstitutional and a violation of my and others’ Fourth Amendment rights."

He allegedly tossed them off major highways where they shattered.

Police caught the former engineer by using the very Flock cams he was destroying to track him down.
