Fake biased news has divided the country and is destroying our institutions by misleading and deliberately deceiving the public to further a political agenda. Let the truth be known. Knowledge is power!

With our new Progressive New Jersey administration in place, New Jersey needs to form coalitions with other States to stop all of the negative aspects of the Trump regime. Let's start with something all New Jerseyans understand and want to protect - our precious Jersey Shore - from offshore drilling.

Why is it even a question that cannabis should be legalized for recreational as well as medical use for adults? New Jersey has the highest property taxes in America! With the millions or billions of tax dollars the sale of legal cannabis would provide, it would help us immensely!! In addition, if all cannabis is legalized and regulated, it will be much safer because we will know where it came from, and what is in it !! I am also advocating strict penalties for allowing minors to gain access to it. This is what they are already doing in Colorado and the other states. Additionally, and most importantly, none of the states that have fully legalized cannabis are back peddling. With nine states participating already, that speaks volumes. Let's bring New Jersey out of the Dark Ages and into the 21st Century!

Donald Trump has repeatedly shown that he is motivated to compromise that investigation and is setting the stage through Devin Nunes' memo to make a case to the American people that the investigation should be ended. Congress needs to pass legislation to preserve the integrity of our governing system and reinforce that nobody is above the law.

President Trump has decided that his personal interests supercede the right of the American people to know whether he or his business interests have conducted any illegal business with entities or individuals connected to governments or illegal cartels hostile to the interests of the United States. The Presidential Candidate Tax Transparency Act requires certain candidates for President or Vice President of the United States to file copies of certain federal income tax returns and written consent for the disclosure of those federal income tax returns with the State Board of Elections no later than 65 days before a presidential general election; requiring the State Board to make federal income tax returns filed by candidates for President or Vice President of the United States publicly available on the State Board's website; etc.

Net Neutrality is a very important issue to me. A free and open Internet is what allows us to make contact with others, start businesses, and keep up to date on the world around us.

Besmirching the reputation of the FBI hurts the effectiveness of the agency when the public no longer has confidence in it.

On January 31st at 6:20 pm, my sister, Maricela Barajas, was run over while crossing the street at the crosswalk. She was pronounced brain-dead on 02/01/18. This is an extremely busy intersection with a light right after the crosswalk and drivers only pay attention to the light and don’t notice pedestrians crossing on the crosswalk. The city needs to revisit this intersection and make it safe for the residents.

Because I have not seen prominent women's groups or labor unions taking an active role in opposing this ruling.

The Report by Chairman Nunes of the House Intelligence Committee has been responded to by the Minority. This memo makes allegations that are both incomplete and inaccurate and need to be properly responded to by Speaker Ryan allowing the release of the Minority Response to this memo.

Moments ago, and with Donald Trump’s approval, the so-called “Nunes memo” -- a cherry-picked and misleading document commissioned by House Intelligence Chairman Rep. Devin Nunes -- was released publicly. We read it so you don’t have to -- and this memo is obviously a partisan hack job, meant to derail Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Donald Trump’s campaign. It echoes far-right claims that the Russia probe is a vast Deep State conspiracy to take down Trump -- but as is now abundantly clear, this memo an obvious effort to thwart the real and necessary work to discover the truth behind Russia’s attack on our democracy, how to prevent it from happening again, and who to hold accountable. Devin Nunes has aided and abetted President Trump’s effort to sow misinformation and distrust in the Russia investigations. Now he is leading the Intelligence Committee’s gross politicization of a grave rule-of-law matter for partisan gain. His continued chairmanship is a damning indictment of Speaker Ryan and an affront to our values. Add your name to demand his removal today.

Current California law requires 50% renewables by 2030. We can do better and do it faster by passing Senate Bill 100. It's waiting for action in the Assembly. SB 100 will bring us 50% renewable energy by 2026. It will bring us 60% renewable energy by 2030. And it will bring us 100% zero-carbon energy by 2045. These goals are scientifically achievable. All that's needed is the political will in Sacramento. The vast majority of Californians favor a target of 100% renewable energy. It's time for our legislators to act.
