@MattFriedmanNJ I’ve decided to finally drop the initials for television, you can have this exclusive 🫡

STREAMING at 3PM. What just happened #CD11? The panel: @madfernandez616 @fsnowflack @spsullivan has the insights into @AnaliliaForNJ's upset of the decade/century over @Malinowski. Plus, a growing @ICEgovcrisis in @NewJersey. Should local cops intervene? https://t.co/yG555ICZCq

@KevinCManahan hard pass, look what they did to poor Edna!

[Henry Winkler @hwinkler4real]

You know that hose they advertise on TV? It’s expandable then retracts to the same small size. Never leaks they say no leaks. Not true not true. I had a leak taped it up. There’s a new leak today. Just thought I’d let you know.

@thekimkavin @CenterCoopMedia The program is for newsrooms, not individuals, but any newsroom is welcome to include a freelancer in their application, so if you have a pitch you've been getting shot down for lack of funding, this might be an avenue for the publication.

Attention NJ journalists: Got a great idea for an investigation but aren't sure how to land it — or to pay for all those records requests?

I'm helping my friends at @CenterCoopMedia select a few local newsrooms to receive training, support and funding 💰 for investigative work.

You'd be forgiven reading his playbook headlines for thinking @MattFriedmanNJ is a big dummy, and yet

What’s your favorite no-comment dodge by a politician who’s trying to avoid saying the words “no” and “comment”?

This week, had a post-primary chat with Democratic New Jersey governor nominee Mikie Sherrill for the What Makes Jersey Run newsletter. Topics: Murphy, Mamdi, taxes, the Jets.

ICYMI amid all the Jersey chaos: We interviewed brought all 11 gubernatorial candidates into our office to speak on camera about where they stand on big policy issues — and Garden State cultural debates … https://t.co/Qj2vkiNfG3

you used to be able to get breaking news on this app but monetization turned it into a massive sluice for engagement slop

[Sean Sullivan @spsullivan]

If Matt had a catchphrase, it was probably "Hey, asshole." He may have used it in anger, but it was mostly a term of endearment. "Hey asshole, lunch?"

"Hey asshole -- you got so-and-so's number?"

"Hey asshole -- post more pictures of the baby."

So long, asshole. 💔

I did not cry immediately when I learned my good friend Matt Arco had died because it takes time for these things to sink in, but when I thought about my colleagues having to write Matt's obit I finally wept. RIP. https://t.co/yuFI0VCb93

One of the many things I dislike about these pseudo-news sites is the only thing good about them are the names. The Jersey Dispatch is great branding for a pile of dog shit and now that name is off the table for someone who could have used it to cyber bully their mayor.

[Matt Friedman @MattFriedmanNJ]

Oh look. Another "news" site that has no info on who's behind it but promotes one candidate while denigrating another.

[Sean Sullivan @spsullivan]

A quick note: Today is my last day of work for a few months. In October, we welcomed my daughter, Ginny, and in the months since she has only grown larger and more powerful so I gotta step in until we can get a handle on this situation. See you in the summer!
