The executive order signed recently strips out key pieces of a national tech directive issued just days before Biden left office, halting instructions that would have expanded agency control over software supply tracking, digital identity frameworks, and AI system accountability. While some post-quantum standards remain intact, most of the operational requirements tied to data verification and risk modeling have been cut, triggering confusion inside departments already preparing for compliance audits under the prior mandate. For institutions midstream in upgrades, the sudden shift has forced a scramble, not only in technical planning but in how risk is communicated across networks that no longer follow the same federal direction. The ripple effect is reaching sectors where system access and identity protection are foundational to day-to-day operations, especially in spaces where data exposure carries financial risk and user access has to remain uninterrupted, regardless of shifting regulations. Security models used by casinos that... Read more →

For far too long, the health, happiness, and well-being of our Nation’s men have been neglected, contributing to a troubling reality: men in the United States have a life expectancy five years shorter than women. They visit healthcare providers less frequently and often delay critical care. Men tend to have their first heart attack an average of 10 years earlier than women. This neglect has been compounded by a vicious campaign against masculinity. This war on manhood has left many American men in a state of loneliness, confusion, and emptiness, with devastating consequences: men in the United States are four times more likely to commit suicide and more than twice as likely to overdose than women. This National Men’s Health Week, I make a solemn pledge to honor the men in America: we will always have your back—and we will never waver in our promise to embolden you to lead... Read more →

Coughlin and Assembly members Eliana Pintor Marin, Shanique Speight, Dan Hutchison, Dave Bailey, Jr., and Mitchelle Drulis joined Governor Phil Murphy last week to announce over $430 million in direct relief to lower the cost of energy bills.

Washington, DC — Today, the League of Women Voters of the United States and the League of Women Voters of New Jersey issued the following joint statement in response to the indictment of Representative LaMonica McIver on federal charges brought by the Department of Justice for an alleged altercation with immigration officers outside a New Jersey immigrant detention center. “The announcement by US Attorney Alina Habba of the indictment of Representative McIver for conducting appropriate oversight function is troubling. These charges can be construed as a weapon to scare and silence those who challenge this current administration, which is inappropriate in a functioning democracy. “Representative McIver is the second Black elected official from New Jersey targeted in recent days for conducting oversight within their legal purview. This sets an unsettling and dangerous precedent that dissent and oversight will be criminalized.” Read more →

Queens State Sen. John Liu announced his plans to support the efforts to build a casino near Citi Field. The casinos are to be developed by the billionaire Mets owner Steve Cohen, and the project is supposed to be worth $8b billion. The project will have a beneficial impact on the local community by providing jobs and local economic development. Some have questioned the need for a casino now when most games are available online, and the best crypto casinos provide all the betting options, such as on-the-ground ones. Senator’s Support Senator Liu said that he would introduce a bill that would remove the final obstacle the casino was facing. The bill will reclassify the 50 acres of asphalt parking lots around the Mets ballpark as commercial property. Currently, it’s classified as parkland. The change will allow Cohen to start building, but there are also conditions for this support as... Read more →

by Hackensack Meridian Health Newswise — According to the American Cancer Society (ACS), one in every eight men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime. “Some patients are really good about asking questions and doing their own research,” says Mina M. Fam, M.D., MBA, medical director of Urologic Oncology, Hackensack Meridian Jersey Shore University Medical Center. “Others are not. There’s a fear of treatments that sometimes drives people not to get screened. But, in my mind, knowledge is power in this situation. The fewer surprises, the better.” There are common misconceptions about prostate cancer that are important to clarify during June, Men’s Health Month. “Some men think ‘if I have no symptoms, I don’t need to worry,’ that is very inaccurate,” says Dr. Fam. “I’ve diagnosed extremely advanced prostate cancer, even some cases where it’s spread to the bone or other parts of the body, and the patient...

Below is a statement from Sean Spiller on the this evenings results. “First, I want to congratulate Congresswoman Sherrill on her hard-fought victory tonight. Now is the time for all of us to come together and ensure that an extreme politician like Jack Ciatarelli never sets foot in the Governor’s office. We always knew what we were up against when we launched this campaign - the wealthy special interests and insiders who don’t want to give working people a voice in their government. I’m incredibly proud of the work we did to drive forward issues of fairness and affordability, and proud of the thousands of grassroots supporters who came together to support our campaign. I’m also incredibly proud to live in a country where an immigrant, a Black man, and a school teacher can run for Governor and compete.

By Slim Randles | CNBNews Contributor In a few days, all those rhymers who lived in Tin Pan Alley back when Gertie was a pup will be fulfilled once again. How’s that you say? Was a love song ever written that didn’t have both moon and June in it? And the full moon will be here in a couple of days and it is our responsibility to go look at it. A full moon is probably the basic cause of most superstitions and spooky stories and maybe even a religion or two. And that’s because it shows us our world in an entirely different light than we’re used to. A moon softens the hard edges of our everyday world. It casts a pall of loveliness on rocks and water and even old cowboys. And you know this is another reason so many people are married. In moonlight, even a cholla... Read more →

WASHINGTON D.C. – Senator Andy Kim released the following statement against the Trump administration deploying 700 Marines on U.S. soil: “Deploying 700 Marines on U.S. soil against the will of local leaders and law enforcement is a dangerous abuse of power. Our military is a sacred trust meant to protect the American people, not be used by President Trump and Secretary Hegseth to strike fear into Americans. A strong and trusted United States military must remain apolitical. Trump’s escalation not only weakens Americans’ trust in their own freedoms of speech and protest but trust in what our military stands for.” Read more →

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch announced a $4.975 million settlement today in the wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. Government filed on behalf of the family of Ashli Babbitt, the U.S. Air Force veteran who was shot and killed inside the U.S. Capitol by then-Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd on January 6, 2021. Ashli Babbitt was the only January 6 homicide victim. “This fair settlement is a historic and necessary step for justice for Ashli Babbitt’s family.

Congressman Van Drew introduced a resolution condemning the disturbing rise in antisemitic attacks across the United States. Since the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel on October 7th, 2023, antisemitic incidents have reached all-time highs across the country. The most recent attack took place in Boulder, Colorado, where a man set peaceful protestors, who were supporting hostages still held by Hamas, on fire.

Nearly 50 additional members of Congress from both sides of the aisle have co-sponsored the resolution.
