US leadership in global health has saved countless lives. No country has made our world healthier. Trump and Musk are tearing down public health by abandoning research, destroying USAID, and cutting healthcare in states like NJ. On #WorldHealthDay, let's recommit to keeping people healthy and safe.

Proud to be one of millions around the country showing up to tell Musk and Trump #HandsOff! Yesterday was proof that no amount of money or illegal power grabbing can silence the American people. This is just the first step in the fight to take back our country from the oligarchs and fix their mess

Yesterday, I asked our health commissioner about NJ's readiness to combat measles. I was shocked by what she said next... We are below 95% herd immunity, and $350 million in Trump/Musk healthcare cuts are crippling efforts to get our children vaccinated. Is this how we Make America Healthy Again?

While Trump is gutting the office that helps Americans afford their heating and electric bills, New Jersey is answering with reliable utility relief for our taxpayers. The BPU's Universal Service Fund is filling the gap and helping families across our state pay their bills. Sign up now!

Trump’s tariff taxes will cost the average NJ family $6,400. This on top of rising energy costs, $350 million in healthcare cuts, and no Department of Education to support our public schools. New Jersey cannot afford the chaos of Donald Trump.

Paul Robeson was an exceptional New Jerseyan in music, sports, and activism. His fight for equality for Black Americans embodies all that makes our country great. Even though hateful actors in DC are working to erase Robeson from our history books, New Jersey is keeping his story alive.

On #TransDayofVisibility, we celebrate our trans neighbors for the inspiration and joy they bring to our communities, especially in the face of adversity. I’m proud to support our trans friends as we fight together for equality, both in New Jersey and around the country 🏳️‍⚧️

Trump and Musk are looting our state's healthcare centers to fund tax cuts for the ultra-rich. Hundreds of clinics, including one right here in LD16, are stopping work thanks to millions in senseless cuts. NJ families deserve care that's affordable and accessible. Thanks to Trump, we're losing both

Incredible energy at yesterday’s #TeslaTakedown from concerned citizens fighting to protect our country from Trump, Musk, and their billionaire friends. The world’s richest man has no business slashing our Medicaid, destroying Social Security, or dismantling our government. NJ is saying no to DOGE

We’ve designed our election laws to ensure that every legal voter gets their voice heard. Trump’s attack on our laws is an attack on our voice. Whether it’s in the courts or in the legislature, New Jersey will hold the line to secure our ballots and protect our right to vote.

This week Senator @andrewzwicker.bsky.social joined a panel on artificial intelligence - and how it is being used more and more to make decisions around hiring. “Technology is moving so quickly, we have to make sure we put public policy in place before it’s too late,” said Zwicker.

A convicted felon who can't vote in 10 states is trying to illegally attack your right to vote. I've written and passed bills that empower young voters, expand vote-by-mail, and secure our ballots so that every legal vote counts. NJ's elections are free and fair, and we’re going to keep it that way

Even with the fossil fuel industry's hostile takeover of the EPA, NJ will continue leading in the fight to protect our environment, build clean energy, and forge a green economy that works for us. Thank you Rutgers for bringing us together and helping chart a path forward for our state.

Every student in NJ deserves a fair shot at quality education. Trump’s actions today are a direct assault on equal opportunity for our students. We won’t stand for it. NJ’s public schools are some of the best in the country, and we intend to keep them that way.

On Public Defender Day, we honor our public defenders for doing the principled work of granting New Jerseyans access to the justice they deserve. Thrilled to recognize New Jersey Public Defender Jennifer Sellitti for her advocacy in the fight to build a fair and equal justice system for our state.

Every citizen of our state deserves freedom and equality under the law, no exceptions. We’re building a firewall to defend our LGBTQ+ neighbors from hatred coming out of DC. Proud to join @gardenstateequality.org @lwvnj.bsky.social @ppactionnj.bsky.social in fighting back for freedom in NJ.

The "Make America Healthy Again" crowd is literally taking fresh, local produce off the menu for our schools. To be expected from a president who lives off McDonalds. We can't let chaos in DC ruin the health of our students. Our bill (S1637) taps NJ's local farms to keep fresh foods on the menu 🍎

Crippling the EPA is a huge win for corporate polluters. They'll make billions more in profits while the rest of us get stuck with dirty air, poison water, and a future of climate disasters 🧵

Fossil fuel corporations make billions of dollars polluting our environment and fueling the climate crisis. New Jersey is making them pay. Proud to support the NJ Climate Superfund Act, which makes polluters foot the bill for projects that clean up our environment and invest in NJ's green economy.

For every $100 million of funding, NIH-supported research generates 76 patents. These patents create opportunities for an estimated $598 million in further research and development.

President Trump’s executive order freezing most U.S. foreign aid for 90 days has thrown into turmoil programs that fight starvation and deadly diseases, run clinical trials and seek to provide shelter for millions of displaced people. Here’s what to know.
