Millions of New Jersey voters were faced with a difficult decision Tuesday: Join a party or don't vote at all.

US Rep. Tulsi Gabbard continues to fight for marijuana decriminalization. She shared an article from the American Legion Monday, which makes the case for medical marijuana for wounded vets.

A disconcerting pattern of geopolitics has played itself out in not one, but two different terrorist attacks on the people of Manchester and London in under a month.

First there was the Manchester Arena nail bomb attack at the Ariana Grande concert on May 22. It was followed soon after by the London Bridge van and knife attack on June 3. Three men drove a van into a group of pedestrians, and then went on a stabbing spree with knives in Borough Market.
