somewhere, Chris Christie is seething and plotting another Bridgegate
For everyone just tuning in: The most Jersey political scandal of all time has dropped — www.inquirer.com/news/nation-...
This New Jersey congressman faked his Spotify Wrapped results to look like more of a Springsteen fan
U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey admitted that he manipulated his Spotify Wrapped results to be Bruce Springsteen-forward. Was it an attempt at pandering for the governor candidate?

1) ABC/NBC should lose license or pay hefty fees because their reporting is mean to him.
2) MD should maybe lose bridge repair funds because Wes Moore was mean to him.
3) The feds should investigate Chris Christie for Bridgegate because he was mean to him.

Just out here saying ‘we’re doing a Bridgegate’
🚨Emails confirm the Trump administration used Social Security as political payback against Janet Mills.
WH owns it in a statement, saying supporting trans athletes "will not end well for the Governor and the people of Maine deserve better.”

Bridgegate was in another era.
Wild story: the acting Social Security chief was warned that terminating data collection contracts with Maine would increase fraud. But he responded that it didn't matter because it was more important to punish Maine's governor for disagreeing with Trump. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Trump is now threatening to prosecute “Sloppy” Chris Christie over Bridgegate after the former NJ governor hurt grandpa’s feelings on ABC.

How is this any different than Bridgegate?
This isn't how gov't is supposed to work: The acting commissioner of Social Security admitted “I was ticked at the governor of Maine for not being real cordial to the president,” so I ended a program in Maine. www.pressherald.com/2025/03/25/s...
Social Security official ended program for Maine newborns because he was ‘ticked’ at Mills
U.S. Rep. Chellie Pingree said the rationale given by Lee Dudek, the acting commissioner of the Social Security Administration, is 'infuriating and absurd.'

Remember Bridgegate? This is basically that but way worse, no?
Holy shit: the weirdo running Social Security added administrative burdens to service delivery in Maine after its Governor disagreed with Trump over trans athletes. The idea that public services should be provided consistently and honestly seems beyond them.

President Donald Trump is resurrecting the 2013 scandal known as Bridgegate in an apparent effort to target Christie just hours after he told ABC News that the president is unconcerned with the separation of powers.
Trump's retribution tour threatens to go after Bridgegate, a notorious retribution scheme
His campaign is careening toward its logical extreme, no matter how obvious the irony.

It’s not that Chris Christie is wrong in his criticism of Trump.
It’s that I haven’t forgotten how he personally coached and prepared Trump for his debates.
And Chris— I haven’t forgotten Bridgegate or Beachgate, either, you insufferable, hypocritical fuck.

Did Bridgegate blow open the GOP field and create the opening Donald Trump rode all the way to the White House?

Bridgegate is so funny in retrospect. (It was also really funny at the time!) Christie should've just tweeted about he's shutting down the woke bridge.

New in PN: Trump tries and fails to extort Canada
"The American president is a toothless old tiger, roaring on social media as his real power slips away. He can still extort a secondhand Nobel Prize from a dissident leader, but he’s not taking the Stanley Cup."

the guy who looked into before was under Chris Wray - recent of hiding Christie's cell phone from Bridgegate investigators. Guy who should have never been approved to lead the FBI in the first place.
