That perfect slice of Jersey pizza. Garden State puns about putting down roots. A whirlwind lesson on Navy helicopters. And diners, lots of diners. If you’re paying attention to New Jersey’s race for governor between Democratic Rep. Mikie Sherrill and Republican Jack Ciattarelli and looking for signs about the national mood on President Donald Trump’s agenda and how voters are reacting to Democrats’ messaging, getting to know the candidates might help decode things for you. Both Sherrill and Ciattarelli emerged from competitive primaries and began the general election campaign Wednesday with efforts to unify their parties.

WH PRESS SECRETARY: “The Trump administration is going to continue the mass deportation effort that the President promised the American public… It’s part of the reason we do need the One, Big, Beautiful Bill to pass… The bill provides funding to hire more ICE agents and Border Patrol agents.”

Few people in recent history have had as profound an impact on the entirety of Klal Yisrael as has Rabbi Meir Zlotowitz z”l. Through ArtScroll, he has touched unaffiliated Jews starting to learn about Yiddishkeit and great Rabbanim. The works he initiated can be found throughout five continents, on school desks and the tables of gedolei Yisrael, in five continents and numerous languages. Indeed, many Gedolim have referred to him as “the Greatest Marbitz Torah in Klal Yisrael.” Anyone who reads the acknowledgements of an ArtScroll sefer will quickly see that the gadol who Reb Meir was closest to, and who truly guided and encouraged ArtScroll was Hagaon Rav Dovid Feinstein, zt”l, with whom R’ Meir spoke virtually every day.

President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Federal Aviation Administration is facing tough questions about safety during a hearing Wednesday in the wake of January’s deadly midair collision and a string of other crashes and near misses since then. Much of the industry, including the major airlines and their trade groups, supports Bryan Bedford’s nomination. But pilots unions and Democrats have raised concerns that he might weaken pilot training standards. Bedford has been CEO of regional airline Republic Airways since 1999 and has more than three decades of experience in the industry. He has pledged to make safety the FAA’s top priority and work to restore public confidence in flying.

A convoy carrying hundreds of pro-Hamas activists has arrived in Libya after driving from Algeria and crossing through Tunisia on its way to the Gaza Strip to violate Israel’s military blockade on the terror-ruled Gaza Strip. The convoy is made up of at least 1,500 people, including pro-Hamas activists and supporters from Algeria and Tunisia, with more expected to join from Libya. AFP quoted organizers as saying that the convoy is not carrying aid to Gaza but plans to violate the blockade as a “symbolic act.” The group arrived in Zawiya city in Libya Tuesday and plans to reach Gaza via Egypt’s Rafah Crossing, traveling by cars and buses. It drove through the Libyan cities of Tripoli, Misrata, Sirte, and Benghazi to reach the Saloum Crossing which borders Egypt.
