Nadine Menendez was convicted Monday of cooking up a crooked scheme with her husband — ex-New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez — to sell out his political post for gold bars, a Mercedes-Benz and other bribes.

Jurors found the 58-year-old Englewood Cliffs resident guilty of all 15 federal corruption charges against her following about eight hours of deliberations over two days.

Update: Cory Booker has now delivered the longest speech in a chamber in history – beating Strom Thurmond’s record.

Democrat Senator Cory Booker (NJ) has been ranting about President Trump and Elon Musk from the senate floor for 24 hours and counting.

A bug-eyed Booker started his marathon rant on Monday evening and he’s still droning on about President Trump as of Tuesday afternoon.

Sen. Cory Booker's (D-N.J.) record marathon speech on the Senate floor won the floundering Democratic Party something it has desperately needed in the Trump era: attention and the applause of its base.

The big picture: Top Democrats believe they are in their deepest hole in nearly 50 years after losing the White House, Senate and House, and the party's base has grown impatient with leaders who haven't countered President Trump more aggressively.

New Jersey is rolling out a program that allows residents with autism or communication disorders to indicate their diagnosis on their driver’s license or state-issued ID. The new initiative is designed to help law enforcement officers better understand and assist individuals.

The designation will appear as a “5” in the restrictions section of the license or ID.

A pink card will also be issued to those approved for the program, explaining the individual’s disorder.

Former U.S. senator Bob Menendez on Wednesday faces a possible sentence of more than a decade in prison for operating what prosecutors called one of the most brazen corruption schemes in the country’s history, with bribes totaling nearly $1 million in cash, checks, gold bars and a Mercedes-Benz.

It is not clear why there have been so many drone sightings at night in the Northeast during the past month. People believe they are seeing increased drone activity, and these unexplained sightings upset them, which is hardly surprising. But we can change the policy on drones. What is happening now is not inevitable and does not have to become the new normal. Congress can regulate the skies to match voters’ preferences.
