Federal employees received a "what did you do last week?" email from Musk and his team, which is insane. They are public servants who keep our nation safe, families healthy, and economy running. These brazen efforts to gut the workforce will have a profound impact across the country. Here’s how: 🧵

I had a great time at Union College of Union County, NJ , touring the Elizabeth Campus and meeting with students. And I always enjoy getting to see the Trinitas School of Nursing lab and learning a new skill or two. @underwood.house.gov - how did I do?

The chaos and disruption that this administration is causing has a direct impact on hospitals, schools, and communities across the country. We can work together to make government more efficient and to modernize how we deliver services to our constituents. But this is not the way. Watch 👇

This is truly heartbreaking. Jocelynn Rojo Carranza should still be here with us. These are the real consequences of the harmful rhetoric about immigrants, which is causing irreparable harm across the country.

Yesterday, I had the honor of hosting a Medicaid roundtable at North Hudson Community Action Corp. With proposed cuts threatening essential care for millions—especially kids, seniors, and those with disabilities—it’s critical we stand together to protect Medicaid.

We'll always stand up for immigrants & their vital role in our communities. Private detention centers like the one in Elizabeth run counter to the values of our district & our state. That’s why, w/ @replamonica.bsky.social & @repbonnie.bsky.social, we're working to prevent their expansion. Read👇

Medicaid is a lifeline for thousands, including cancer patients. With funding at risk—not just for Medicaid but also for the National Institutes of Health—we must take action. Grateful to meet Evelyn, Volunteer Lead Ambassador for @acscan.bsky.social, fighting for lifesaving care.

Today is Presidents Day. And while our current President prefers activities like attending the Super Bowl & Daytona, in his place he trusts an immigrant from South Africa to run the country & the son of immigrants to do our foreign policy. Looks like immigrants really do make this country run.

Trump promised affordability BUT: 📈 Inflation is up 3% in 3 weeks 📈 USDA predicts egg prices will rise another 20% That's why I joined my Dads Caucus colleagues to figure out what the hell the admin’s plan is to lower prices. Families deserve answers, not excuses. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Did you know nearly 1 in 5 people in NJ rely on Medicaid for health coverage—mostly kids, pregnant women & our most vulnerable neighbors? Right now, Republicans are negotiating trillions in cuts that would take health coverage away from kids to pay for corporate tax breaks. That’s unacceptable.

Trump firing NLRB Board Member Gwynne Wilcox is illegal & weakens labor law enforcement, leaving workers vulnerable. That’s why I joined the @laborcaucus.bsky.social in demanding the Trump admin reinstate her immediately. A fair & functioning NLRB is essential to protect workers' rights.

As we thought they would, Republicans are coming after Medicaid - cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans by cutting healthcare for the most vulnerable. More than 80,000 children and 21,000 seniors in the Eighth District rely on Medicaid for health coverage. We'll keep fighting for them.

Gary Greenberg embodied public service, dedicating his life to uplifting our community—especially our youth. As Executive Director & CEO of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Hudson County, his impact was profound. Honoring his legacy was a privilege, and his contributions will never be forgotten.

We know Trump wants to “flood the zone” with constant news to overwhelm people. We aren't going to let that happen. That’s why I am sounding the alarms on what they plan to do next: cut one of the country’s most important health programs - Medicaid. Here’s why you should care 👇

Went to the House Floor today to recognize Ms. Kim Nesbitt Good. As a pillar of Elizabeth, she has worked to uplift Black voices, stories and history. It is important that we recognize those who contribute so much to our communities, not just this #BlackHistoryMonth, but every day. Watch 👇

Yesterday, I met w/ Gov. Murphy & my NJ colleagues to tackle the issues that matter—affordability, better transit & lowering health care costs. At a time when the Trump Admin. is implementing a harmful & divisive agenda, it's vital that we working together to deliver real solutions for NJ families.

During today’s E&C hearing, I made it clear that energy dominance cannot come at the expense of communities that have faced environmental injustice for far too long. We must continue to support places like Elizabeth & the Ironbound with funding for environmental justice initiatives. Watch 👇
