Trenton Police Use-of-Force Claims Clash as 2026 Incidents Climb Toward 2024 Levels

Trenton police director Steve Wilson says his department's use-of-force incidents fell 32% between 2024 and 2025, a figure he points to as proof the city has turned a corner since a scathing federal civil-rights investigation. But newer numbers complicate that narrative: officers reported more use-of-force incidents in the first six months of 2026 than they did during the same stretch of 2025, at a rate on pace with 2024.

Fmr. Gov. Chris Christie Tells New Jersey Caller He Has No Regrets over Not Legalizing Marijuana

Former Gov. Chris Christie (R-NJ) on Washington Journal Primetime responds to a Republican New Jersey caller on why he refused to legalize marijuana during his tenure. The caller asks Christie why he is not in favor of legalization despite its benefits in treating certain medical conditions. Christie asks how medical marijuana has helped him, which the caller responds he did not qualify for the state's medical marijuana program that Christie approved. Christie then responds that the caller's conditions may not have been "too serious," and says, "I don't have one regret for not signing a bill to legalize marijuana in New Jersey." He adds, "I don't want people suffering from medical conditions needlessly, but I don't think having a headache every day is a reason for you to have marijuana. I don't think recreational use is correct."

My opponent ran away from debates. I’ll keep showing up for you.

By our campaign’s count, my challenger, Corey McNair, missed three debates before November 3. This week, I invited him to four more public debates. I proposed one livestreamed event in each of Trenton’s four wards. At each debate, each candidate would have 20 minutes for an opening presentation, followed by a Q&A with residents. He declined all four and called his decision “final.” Residents across Trenton have told me they’re disappointed. I’m appalled by his decision. Before the December 8 runoff, both candidates should debate and answer questions directly from residents. If you won’t answer to Trenton residents while you’re asking for their vote, why should they expect you to answer to them once you’re in City Hall?

A new restaurant blew my mind

I've had some hot takes that've gotten me backlash in the past; not liking Thanksgiving food (it's boring), thoroughly loving Chuck E. Cheese stuffed crust (not sure how anyone couldn't), preferring cinnamon Pop-Tarts to strawberry (the flavor you love is blueberry, trust me. Strawberry is muted) — but I'm about to drop a bomb. For years, I've kept this under wraps. Garden Staters get heated over food, and the debate wasn't one I was willing to spark, because, even if I made a perfectly reasonable case, I'd still receive emails saying my mom "should've chosen Plan B" (yes, that's happened). To demonstrate how fatigued I am with those arguments, however, I say this without a care in the world: I don't like Italian rainbow cookies . They taste like licorice, they reek of almond extract and, as a kid, they lure you into what you think is a chocolate-dipped truffle, but leave you with an underwhelming block of marzipan you'd buy near the register of a T.J. Maxx. Am I wrong? DM me, @northjerseyeats . What I'm sure I'm right about, though — besides the fact that the gooey squares from J&M Bakery might be the one exception to my
