It shouldn't take the threat of a winter storm for this admin to take disaster preparedness seriously. I led a demand to end workforce cuts at FEMA with Sen. Peters and will continue to advocate for a FEMA that is prepared to help our communities when disaster strikes.

This is a stupid decision that will make us less healthy, less safe, and less prepared to take care of our communities.

As a father, this is absolutely heartbreaking. As an American, I am outraged and find this administration cruel and lacking accountability

As Ranking Member of the subcommittee that oversees FEMA, I'm demanding that Sec. Noem stop the staffing cuts at FEMA immediately. Mass cuts to the FEMA workforce are reckless; they put our communities' lives and safety at risk. You deserve better.

On the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, all Americans should have the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions. Instead, families are forced into impossible choices and doctors are threatened with criminal prosecution for following medical guidance. 1/2

It's important to talk directly to those impacted by Trump's actions in Venezuela. When I sat down with members of NJ's Venezuelan community they told me, we cannot prioritize oil over democracy.

A couple weeks ago, I spoke to some members of the Venezuelan community in NJ about the Trump administration’s actions in their home country. Here’s what they had to say.

Actions have consequences. Trump cares more about picking fights with our friends and allies than he does our own economic security. The American people want a president who cares about strengthening our economy, not throwing it into complete chaos.

16 years after the Citizens United decision, we are living with its consequences: a corrupt administration beholden to America’s wealthiest donors, not its people.

As a member of the committee that oversees DHS, I’m calling on Sec. Noem and Tom Homan to testify in front of the Senate immediately. The deployment of ICE agents across the country is putting our communities at risk. You deserve answers and accountability.

As Senators, we must pledge to be caregivers. It is our responsibility to make it easier for Americans to look after each other. It will be difficult, but there is no greater cause than care.

This is just bullying. As usual, it is Americans who will pay the price for Trump’s extortion foreign policy.

Healthcare and caregiving shouldn’t be about politics. I will use my position in the US Senate to fight for all families struggling through our broken system. We all need support.

This week, I met with NJ students from the Religious Action Center to hear what’s on their minds. I commend them for their advocacy on gun violence prevention, combatting antisemitism, teen mental health, and reproductive freedom, and look forward to supporting their initiatives.

Yesterday, I met with Bobbie advocates and shared my own experience navigating paid family leave, maternal health, and caregiving in this country. I look forward to working with Bobbie and others to ensure families in this country get the care they need and deserve.

First Trump dismantled USAID, now he’s cutting health aid globally. The more unhealthy the world is, the more at risk we all become.

Citizens United was one of the first things I talked about on the campaign trail. It was the reason I ran for office. Almost a decade later, I’m still fighting for a democracy that fairly represents all Americans.

Erfan Soltani; remember that name. He is at risk of being executed by the Iranian regime. He didn’t engage in violence; he only sought the same freedoms any of our families would want. The Iranian regime has shown it will do anything to silence its people and keep power. 1/2

Trump continues to go after those who disagree with him because he wants to maintain power. I’ll continue to stand with my colleagues like @slotkin.senate.gov who stand up to Trump’s mob boss politics, and call out the President’s clear intimidation attacks.

Watch this. All of it. This is what standing up to bullying looks like. We’ve got to stand up to the mob boss in chief and fight back against his corruption and political intimidation.

I toured RWJ Barnabas Health Center in Newark today to discuss the importance of healthcare that meets people where they are. Providing support in social services, food insecurity, and safe housing should all be elements of our care system. There’s no health without them.

Today, @menendez.house.gov and I met with members of NJ’s Venezuelan community and asked them what they think about this administration’s actions. We owe them answers about Trump’s true motives and plans for their home country.

I don’t believe the lie Trump is telling about his motives in Venezuela. It’s about enriching his wealthy friends and feeding his own ego.

This is a critical moment for the people of Iran. We’ve seen people bravely speak out about their future and the Iranian regime respond through violence, disinformation, and cutting Iranians off from the internet. 1/2

Since Speaker Johnson refuses to display the Jan 6 plaque, the Senate unanimously agreed to display it on our side of the Capitol. Speaker Johnson, go dig the plaque out of whatever hole you’ve been hiding it in.

There's no question that many international institutions are no longer working as intended, or long past time for updating. However, withdrawing from them en masse eliminates our ability to reform them, and cedes ground to competitors... 1/2

The Senate just passed a bipartisan vote signaling deep concern about Trump’s continued military actions regarding Venezuela. Americans don’t want us to “run” Venezuela and they deserve to have their voices heard.

You deserve to know what the plan, or lack thereof, is in Venezuela. It’s time for the Trump administration to stop hiding behind classified briefings and answer your questions directly.
