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? youtube.com/watch?v=-Tqh39Zg…

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.

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”?

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

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. nj.com/politics/2025/05/long…

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. 💔

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.

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

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!

new for @njdotcom, @CommutingLarry and I spent Friday speaking with national and NJ experts about the future of I-80 after 3 sinkholes. We heard from locals too. Pop’s Bagel Shop has lost 30-40% of its business since Feb. There’s “no sinkhole stimulus.”

The pitch for this video was “what if @AndreMalok was just trying to narrate a nature documentary but Sean wouldn’t shut the hell up?”
@stevenrodasnj spent more than a year tracing the history of the beaver in #NewJersey and focused on one small suburban town and its problem with the rodents. Here’s the video with @spsullivan that was part of the project. projects.nj.com/beavers/
