I cover crime, government and New Jersey. But I repeat myself! Reporter for @njdotcom. You can call me Sean. DMs are off the record.
You'd be forgiven reading his playbook headlines for thinking @MattFriedmanNJ is a big dummy, and yet
"I've got no color on that." — @GovMurphy
What’s your favorite no-comment dodge by a politician who’s trying to avoid saying the words “no” and “comment”?
This week, had a post-primary chat with Democratic New Jersey governor nominee Mikie Sherrill for the What Makes Jersey Run newsletter. Topics: Murphy, Mamdi, taxes, the Jets. Subscribe here: link.nj.com/join/6fj/newsl…
ICYMI amid all the Jersey chaos: We interviewed brought all 11 gubernatorial candidates into our office to speak on camera about where they stand on big policy issues — and Garden State cultural debates … nj.com/politics/2025/…
you used to be able to get breaking news on this app but monetization turned it into a massive sluice for engagement slop
One of the many things I dislike about these pseudo-news sites is the only thing good about them are the names. The Jersey Dispatch is great branding for a pile of dog shit and now that name is off the table for someone who could have used it to cyber bully their mayor.
Oh look. Another "news" site that has no info on who's behind it but promotes one candidate while denigrating another.
A quick note: Today is my last day of work for a few months. In October, we welcomed my daughter, Ginny, and in the months since she has only grown larger and more powerful so I gotta step in until we can get a handle on this situation. See you in the summer!
this is incredible. congrats to all my friends at the Record Guild 🎉🥳
ANOTHER BIG GANNETT WIN: @therecordguild has won a historic first contract, lifting long-stagnant wages by over 25% on average, and averting a planned walkout. More here.... nyguild.org/post/breaking-…
new for @njdotcom, @CommutingLarry and I spent Friday speaking with national and NJ experts about the future of I-80 after 3 sinkholes. We heard from locals too. Pop’s Bagel Shop has lost 30-40% of its business since Feb. There’s “no sinkhole stimulus.” nj.com/morris/2025/03…
The pitch for this video was “what if @AndreMalok was just trying to narrate a nature documentary but Sean wouldn’t shut the hell up?”
@stevenrodasnj spent more than a year tracing the history of the beaver in #NewJersey and focused on one small suburban town and its problem with the rodents. Here’s the video with @spsullivan that was part of the project. projects.nj.com/beavers/

always fun to take a cruise through the talk section of a politician's wikipedia page during an election cycle
I heard a rumor Pete bought too many fancy dinners on the company credit card last year so this year he’s gotta review hospitals, middle schools and prison cafeterias
Tacos, couscous, tuna salad, pesto pasta salad, sushi and squid salad - this is hospital food? Sure is. I’m at Capital Health Medical Center, Hopewell. I’m visiting and rating all 26 NJ hospitals w dining areas/cafeterias open to the public. Yes you read that right
Saw a man who looked like he could beat me up (low bar) wearing a T-shirt that said “Do I look like I care?” and, you know what, buddy? Yeah, you do. You don’t wear that shirt on laundry day. You picked out your little outfit like the rest of us. I think you look adorable.
Many out-of-state retirees are funding Bill Spadea's campaign and PAC with recurring small donations. @madfernandez616 and I reached out to a bunch. Most didn't know who Spadea was. Just two knew they were making frequent donations.
If you don't want them coming after her, why would you say it publicly? foxnews.com/politics/new-j…
