The Kofi Kingston championship win is proof that, when wrestling is good, it’s great. What a story. I almost cried. #WrestleMania @TrueKofi

New Jersey is the world — a world in which Central Jersey exists, in which we eat a sandwich with “pork roll,” and in which The Boss is a free man.

If the NJ marijuana bill eventually passes, it could become the national model for other states to follow. It's not just the first state to legalize and set up the cannabis industry, but it's the first one to put a focus on social justice provisions.

NJ marijuana legalization: Why the nation is keeping a close eye on the legal weed vote

New Jersey is at the forefront of a social justice-driven legal weed plan, with expungements and racial equality becoming top topics.

Love to work for a company that not only tells its employees to muzzle their opinions but also encourages their colleagues to rat them out to their bosses.

Very psyched for Pete Alonso to hit homer #53 . Very bummed I couldn't hear Gary Cohen OR Howie Rose call it.

@HowieRose I wonder how much of Turner/Rogers was just bad timing. They came in right at/before the time that Camden Yards launched the whole walkable/neighborhood/more-than-just-a-stadium feel, but didn't follow that style. Citi was built with that in mind, at least.

I’m walking off the job today. Mike Reed has overseen the systematic destruction of local news and left many of us relying on multiple jobs, family assistance and the social safety net just so we can survive. Enough is enough. #GannettGreed

I can't believe they are having concerts. They think they're above the law. When is Murphy going to call in the National Guard to Rumson?
