davisjames+FollowWhy Are So Many Cats Disappearing in Jersey?Did you know New Jersey has the highest number of missing cats in the US? A new study says it’s not just bad luck—our busy roads, packed neighborhoods, and wild commuting culture are a recipe for cat chaos.

Worst times for pets to go missing! #Pets #cats #NewJersey108242Share

Patrick Simmons+FollowSpotted lanternflies are back—NJ, it’s squish time!Spotted lanternflies are swarming New Jersey again, and they’re more than just a backyard annoyance—they’re a real threat to our orchards, vineyards, and gardens. These bugs suck the life out of apple, peach, and grape plants, putting local produce (and even our wine) at risk. Over the weekend, I couldn’t step outside without these pests landing on me. As pretty as they look, don’t hesitate: if you see one, stomp it. It’s the only way to protect our environment and keep the Garden State thriving. Anyone else noticing more of them lately? #Science #NewJersey #Lanternfly00Share
Mrs. Maria Shelton MD+FollowNJ café drama: $1,600 table vs. toddlerA simple coffee outing in Lavallette turned into a nightmare for one New Jersey mom when her 3-year-old accidentally toppled a $1,600 table at Hazel Boutique Café. Instead of checking if the child was okay, the owner demanded her license and credit card, insisting, “You break it, you pay for it.” The kicker? The table wasn’t even meant for dining and had nearly fallen before, according to social media sleuths. Should parents be held responsible for accidents like this, or should businesses secure their pricey decor? Let’s hear your thoughts! #Relationships #NewJersey #Parenting10Share
Jerry Clark+FollowNJ families miss out on summer energy reliefNew Jersey residents struggling with sky-high summer energy bills just lost a shot at real relief. A bill that would have cut the sales tax from your electricity and natural gas bills—saving families money every month—was blocked in Trenton.

But the proposal never made it out of committee, leaving households to keep paying extra during the hottest months. With energy costs still climbing, what do you think it’ll take for lawmakers to put residents first? Let’s talk about what real relief should look like. #Business #Industry #NewJersey00Share

Edward Parrish+FollowNJ bill could expand healthcare for all momsLawmakers in New Jersey are pushing for a big change: giving pregnant undocumented women and their newborns full access to NJ FamilyCare, not just emergency care. If this passes, it means more moms and babies in our neighborhoods could get regular checkups, medicine, and support—regardless of immigration status. The catch? It all depends on whether the state can secure federal funding or set aside its own money. For many families, this could be a game-changer. What do you think—should healthcare access depend on immigration status, or is care for moms and babies a basic right? #Health #BodyHealth #NewJersey10Share
