Officials say they need the land to meet state-mandated affordable housing targets.. In a case drawing national attention, Cranbury Township is moving forward with its plans to seize part of a historic 175-year-old family farm to build affordable housing, despite fierce push-back and an active lawsuit. The Middlesex County township recently hired a company to appraise 12 acres of the Henry family farm, according to NJ.com, which is the first step toward possibly condemning the land through eminent domain. Local officials have maintained that they need the land to meet state-mandated affordable housing targets. The Henry family — which has...

U.S. fighter jets scrambled to intercept unauthorized civilian aircraft detected over Trump’s Bedminster golf club in New Jersey while a temporary flight restriction (TFR) zone was in place. The civilian aircraft entered the restricted airspace at approximately 12:50 p.m. ET on Sunday. North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) used flares to get the pilot’s attention. According to reports, this wasn’t the first intercept and multiple incursions occurred over the weekend. Newsweek has more: The interception on Sunday afternoon was the second in the restriction zone that day, and the fifth of that weekend. NORAD stressed that the flares they used,...

Here's a wild one: A 20-foot mink whale made its way into a shallow bay in New Jersey on Saturday, started freaking out, and then this happened: VIDEO AT LINK................. The whale is now dead. A local nonprofit posted on Facebook: Poor whale made its way into this bay and seems to have been freaking out with the shallow water: The boaters weren't antagonizing the whale at all. Rather, the amount of stress put on the whale in that shallow water led to the collision. The person who fell overboard wasn't reported as injured, and as you can see in...

She used Sydney’s rump for a trauma dump. An ex New Jersey teacher-turned-lifestyle influencer is getting roasted online for turning Sydney Sweeney’s American Eagle ad into a therapy session, with a post claiming she feels unattractive because of her skin color — and a repost of it, calling her a “professional victim,” went viral. “For me, I can’t help but think about the 13-year-old brown girl who gets all of her denim at American Eagle, who already struggles to see her beauty and worth in a world that continues to value white, Eurocentric beauty standards,” said Payal Desai of Medford...

The Senate on Tuesday night narrowly confirmed Justice Department official Emil Bove to a seat on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals, hours after his confirmation was stalled over whistleblower reports that he is under investigation. Democratic Sens. Adam Schiff of California and Cory Booker of New Jersey requested information about the alleged investigation after a third whistleblower said Bove misled the Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing. The whistleblowers also allege Bove abused his authority while working for the Justice Department. The Senate confirmed Bove in a 50-49 split. Republican Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Lisa Murkowski...

Jimmy Hoffa’s final morning on earth, in late July 1975, began with a photo session at his suburban Detroit lakefront home, and thanks to government files, we can see those images 50 years after his disappearance. The portly labor icon posed for photos on July 30, 1975, and then drove to a scheduled luncheon meeting with a pair of hoodlums from Detroit and New Jersey. The mobsters never showed, standing up Hoffa, and the famed labor leader himself was never seen again. Hoffa remained officially missing for seven years, and was declared dead in 1982.

Mr. Sweeney, the second most powerful lawmaker in New Jersey and a Democrat, lost his bid for re-election to Edward Durr, a driver for a furniture chain. For nearly a decade, Stephen M. Sweeney, the second most powerful lawmaker in New Jersey, seemed truly unassailable. He boasted deep ties to the most feared political power broker in the state and unyielding support from the influential building trade unions. Four years ago, the state’s teachers’ union spent more than $5 million to unseat him. He won by 18 points. This year, his challenger was Edward Durr, a truck driver for Raymour...

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — New Jersey’s longtime state Senate president, Democrat Steve Sweeney, has lost reelection, falling to a Republican newcomer who spent less than $200 on the race and leaving his party reeling. Edward Durr, a furniture company truck driver and political newcomer, has defeated Sweeney in New Jersey’s 3rd Legislative District, according to results tallied Thursday. Sweeney’s defeat was unexpected and threw his party’s legislative leadership contest into limbo on Wednesday, when he postponed a meeting set for Thursday. Sweeney had been expected to return as Senate president, but who’ll take over and what margin Democrats will have...

Senate President Steve Sweeney, the longest-serving legislative leader in New Jersey history, is on the verge of losing his own State Senate seat in what could be a stunning political upset. Edward Durr, a conservative truck driver who reported spending just $153 on his campaign, leads Sweeney by 2,009 votes in the South Jersey-based 3rd legislative district. Sweeney’s defeat would cause a total realignment of politics in New Jersey, and most immediately creates a wide-open race for Senate President. Democrats lost bids to flip two GOP Senate seats and appear to have lost two or three more, something that could...

The New Jersey Globe is retracting its call of the 3rd legislative district in favor of Democrats; in a major surprise, all three incumbent Democrats stand a significant chance of losing to their unheralded Republican foes. Senate President Steve Sweeney (D-West Deptford) trails Republican Ed Durr, while Assemblyman John Burzichelli (D-Paulsboro) and Assemblyman Adam Taliaferro (D-Woolwich) are currently losing to Bethanne McCarthy-Patrick and Beth Sawyer. If Sweeney in particular does indeed lose, it would constitute a political earthquake in the New Jersey legislature. Holding the Senate Presidency since 2010, Sweeney is the longest-serving legislative leader in state history, and seemed...

The conservative legal group, Article III Project, is filing a judicial complaint against a federal judiciary panel of mostly Democrat-appointed judges after they decided not to extend Alina Habba’s term as President Trump’s interim New Jersey US attorney. “House Democrat Leader Hakeem Jeffries corruptly gave 17 New Jersey U.S. district judges their marching orders: ‘Fire New Jersey U.S. Attorney @AlinaHabba,’ “wrote Article III Project president Mike Davis on X following the panel’s decision. “And these New Jersey activist judges—15 of whom were appointed by Obama and Biden—saluted,” Davis continued. “This violated Canons 2, 3, and 5 of the Code of...

A federal appeals court has ruled that New Jersey’s ban on private immigration detention contracts is unconstitutional, dealing a blow to state leaders and advocates who have long fought to curb U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's footprint in the Garden State. In the 2-1 decision, the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals found that New Jersey’s 2021 law blocking ICE from contracting with private companies unlawfully interfered with federal immigration enforcement, in violation of the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause.
