Civil Rights Groups, New Jersey Voters File Motion to Protect Voters’ Privacy - ACLU of New Jersey The DOJ’s request for New Jersey’s unredacted voter rolls threatens voter privacy and could enable voter disenfranchisement.

BREAKING: we’re taking action to prevent the DOJ from obtaining New Jersey voters’ personal data.

The DOJ’s demand for NJ’s unredacted voter rolls is a dangerous attempt by the Trump administration to disenfranchise voters, especially within our most vulnerable communities.

We'll see you in court.

I left the classified briefing on Iran even more concerned about what comes next as Trump drags us into what's so clearly a war. 
 
This Administration has no plan. American lives are on the line.

Tell Congress: No War with Iran Trump has launched unauthorized military strikes on Iran, dragging the United States into yet another war without approval from Congress. This reckless escalation is putting U.S. servicemembers, Ameri...

Every Member of Congress needs to understand that the upcoming War Powers Resolution vote will be a defining vote — just like the Iraq War vote that defined a generation of politicians.

But our elected officials won’t understand how significant the vote is unless they hear and feel the outrage now.

Opinion | I fact-checked Trump's speeches for years. Here's what to expect from his State of the Union address. Glenn Kessler on what he learned about debunking this president from his years running The Washington Post Fact Checker.

If you have time to read only one news article about tonight's state of the union before the speech, I think this piece by Glenn Kessler should be it:

We will be urging the governor's office, the NJ DEP, and the Highlands Council to exercise whatever authority they have over this development. Local organizers still think there is hope. In Hanover, VA a sale was cancelled after it was announced.

We worked hard, but Hudson County still ranked last in voter turnout this year. Grassroots energy alone can’t overcome structural barriers. #NJPolitics #VoterTurnout #HudsonCounty

A lot was done to get the landslide win for New Jersey Governor race. One that really has not been mentioned enough is the grassroots organizing that has been going on everyday since Nov. 2024.
We wiped the tears from our faces and kept on going, adding more people as we kept going.
