COMING SOON: The @NJDeptofHealth is planning FREE COVID-19 pediatric vaccination clinics for children ages 6 months to 3 years old. As the federal government makes it harder for parents to protect their kids, we are ensuring families can access the care they need. njspotlightnews.org/2025/10/…

Today, @FirstLadyNJ and I stopped by @Walgreens to get our COVID-19 boosters and flu shots. These vaccines are safe and effective — and everyone six months and older is eligible in New Jersey. We encourage everyone to do your part to keep you and your family healthy.

🚨#BREAKING: A plane was forced to divert after a passenger wearing over a dozen face masks who ranted that gay people were giving him cancer, claiming he was being chased by them and shouting Trump is here. 📌#NewJersey | #USA A New Jersey-bound flight was forced to divert after an unruly passenger wearing more than a dozen face masks began ranting that gay people were giving him cancer. The Sun Country Airlines plane departed Minneapolis for Newark. The incident happened on a Friday morning but was rerouted to Chicago after the man’s outbursts escalated into screaming, including shouting, The plane is going down! Passengers said the chaos began shortly after takeoff, when the man started rambling about being gang chased by gay people. He also claimed he was being radiated and cooked by them, insisting they were giving him cancer. Witnesses reported the man had no less than 15 masks over his mouth and, at one point, bizarrely shouted Trump is here The flight landed safely in Chicago, where the passenger was turned over to law enforcement and removed from the aircraft without further incident

@AWokeZombie figured you would get a kick out of this…..

It's appalling that Mikie Sherill (D), running for NJ Governor, would give 2 of her district's 3 Naval Academy nominations to her daughters. And I'm sorry for the worthy applicants from Montclair who didn't have a parent on the House Armed Services Committee. Disgraceful.

Breaking: Mikie Sherrill was prohibited from walking with her class at the U.S. Naval Academy commencement ceremony in 1994 as a punishment connected to a cheating scandal that implicated about 130 midshipmen in her class. newjerseyglobe.com/governor/…
