New Jersey joined several states in a federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration over the Department of the Interior’s $1 billion buyout of TotalEnergies’ offshore wind lease back in March of this year.
Other states in the lawsuit include New York, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The seven attorneys general cited that the deal violates the Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act on several fronts.

Mackenzie is Protecting Child Care Funding & Holding Scammers Accountable
Congressman Ryan Mackenzie and House Republicans secured a big win for Pennsylvania families, passing legislation that safeguards federal child care funding from fraud and holds scammers accountable.
The bill ensures working families receive the benefits they deserve by implementing stricter reporting standards, increasing penalties on states and providers that misuse federal funding, and codifying fraud standards.
“Congressman Ryan Mackenzie continues to deliver for working families, protecting the programs they need and the money they earned. Meanwhile, Democrats are addicted to a reckless agenda that bankrolls fraudulent programs, taxes Pennsylvania families to death, and robs them of economic freedom. It’s just one more reason why Pennsylvanians will reelect Mackenzie in November.” – NRCC Spokesman Reilly Richardson
