DoorDash to Buy Instacart for $17 Billion, Uniting 2 Delivery Giants nytimes.com/2026/10/29/techn… via @NYTimes a few months ago we passed a bill to prevent these companies from using dynamic pricing on groceries here in NJ . Glad we did, as this deal looks bad for consumers .
nytimes.com/2026/10/25/nyreg… my fellow democrats here in NJ need to get the message. reduce costs for economies of scale, build real housing w/an honest chance of getting it, invest in higher ed without students taking on debt , & offer hope. Mostly,give a damm about these people.

Should be interesting to hear the argument that having an insurance company own a health care system is good for the health care consumer .
Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey has signed a definite agreement to purchase Summit Health in a deal expected to be valued at over $1 billion, @TomBergeron5 is reporting.
The deal is dependent upon regulatory approval, which could happen by the end of the year.
Berkley Heights-based Summit Health is one of the country’s largest multispecialty medical practices through a network of 200 primary-care, specialty-care and urgent-care locations across the region.

Heads up, New Jersey: Rail service changes are in effect through November 15 as NJ TRANSIT and Amtrak are beginning critical work to transfer the final track from the 116-year-old Portal Bridge to the new Portal North Bridge.
During this phase, customers on all rail lines except the Atlantic City Rail Line will experience temporary adjustments to rail service. Expect modified train schedules to include some train consolidations or cancellations, and others with changed departure times and/or stopping patterns.

Quote of the day:
“Talking to Rahm, it’s like middle-age married sex,” said John Anzalone, a Democratic pollster who has known him for decades. “It’s focused. You know what you’re going for. And it’s short.”

Washington needs a good power washing top to bottom. Five things I would do today to end corruption in Washington across all three branches of government:
1. Ban all stock trading.
2. Ban all participation in prediction markets.
3. Mandatory retirement at 75 years old.
4. Mandatory blind trust for individuals with a net worth more than $1 million.
5. Ban all foreign gifts to public officials, including foreign investments in their businesses or other entities.

For too many Americans, the path to the middle class dream is fundamentally broken.
It's time for Democrats to roll up our sleeves and start rebuilding it.
Check out this article from NorthJersey.com:
More NJ college students need remedial math. It's slowing graduation
northjersey.com/story/news/e… 30% of Rutgers freshman require remedial math. Stunning statistic.

The sad fact about this story is that there are a lot of people in DC who will read this and simply shrug and say, “it’s just the way Washington has worked for decades.” And I’m sure senators (who should be quaking about a story like this) have instead convinced themselves that this isn’t even illegal and if it is, it will take years (or never) for law enforcement to build a case. The swamp is a real thing, this admin didn’t drain it, they monetized it. There’s an extra layer of rot in this town at the moment and everyone who has lived and worked here for a while knows it.
New: In late 2024, FBI investigators had enough evidence to launch a sweeping bribery probe that could ensnare top lawmakers, including Sen. Susan Collins. Then Trump was reelected and eviscerated the FBI and DOJ teams handling public corruption probes. propub.li/4yLLwaF
time for a heat standards bill in NJ
“The temperature on the artificial turf at Nissan Stadium reached 157F (69.4C), according to the Fox broadcast.
“‘It was hot as shit, everybody was as hot as shit,’ Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni said after his team’s 24-20 win. ‘I didn’t play a snap and I had to get an IV.’
“The Fox broadcast showed water being poured on players’ shoes to keep them cool, and [EaglesOG] Cam Jurgens said he had to replace his cleats several times because they melted.”
