We should all be concerned about this trend. We can't create economic opportunities here at home if we aren't seen as a reliable partner abroad. If we're to build a more resilient future, we have to lean into our alliances that will power the future global economy.

Four years ago, the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade and devastatingly eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion. Today, Americans’ reproductive freedoms remain at risk. We must continue to protect the freedom to decide when, if, and how to start a family.

It's about time. Americans paid billions for a war they never had a say in. It's about time we honored their voices to end this unnecessary war.

Americans have been forced into impossible healthcare decisions by this administration. Not having access to insurance is dangerous and it ultimately costs taxpayers more. This is unfortunately only the beginning of the hardship that will come from Trump’s policies.

What did we get out of Trump’s war? Heightened prices. A more dangerous Iran. Nothing to help you.

Today, we passed the biggest housing bill in nearly 30 years – and Senate Democrats got it done. I'm proud to have played a key role in crafting this bill that will deliver relief to families in NJ and across this country. Let's build more housing that YOU can afford.

Over the past year and a half I’ve heard from countless members of the disability community who feel targeted by this administration. They’ve seen their healthcare taken away through massive cuts to Medicaid, and now this opinion threatens to strip away their civil and human rights. 1/2

The possibilities of quantum technologies are not abstract or theoretical – they are right in front of us, and without greater financing flexibility, we risk falling behind global competitors like China. 1/2

Every person deserves to live free from gun violence. Today, I met with NJ members of @everytown.org and @momsdemandaction.org to hear their stories and discuss the critical work they're doing to make our communities safer. In Congress, we must pass common-sense gun control NOW.

Everyone should know about Trump v. Slaughter – a case currently before the Supreme Court that could give President Trump even MORE unchecked power.

Trump sent us into a reckless war of choice with Iran only to put us in a worse position than before. This war cost 13 Americans their lives, burned through munitions stockpiles, took our eye off the ball the Indo-Pacific, and cost Americans nearly $60 billion in sky high gas prices. 1/3

You deserve to feel safe in your community. That's why I pushed FEMA Administrator nominee Cameron Hamilton on the importance of increasing funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program to combat antisemitism, Islamophobia, and other forms of hatred around the country. 1/2

The average age of a first time homebuyer is 40 years old. That's absolutely unacceptable. Today, I met with NJ Realtors to discuss housing affordability in New Jersey, and the work I've been doing to build more housing and bring costs down. 1/2

Hurricane season is here. We can't wait for a future president to make sure our communities are prepared. This is what I stressed to the Cameron Hamilton, current nominee for FEMA Administrator, as Americans rely on FEMA to get the help they need when disaster strikes.

In order to address our country's housing crisis, we need to build more housing. That's why I authored several provisions in the Senate's housing package that would build more affordable housing units, like this one in Newark, across our entire state. 1/2

Happy Caribbean Heritage Month, New Jersey! I had a great time at A Mother's Touch Bistro, talking with Chef Melanie about the generations of home cooking that inspired her to bring Jamaican and Louisiana Creole flavors to Livingston, NJ. Thanks for a delicious meal!

For 109 days, you have paid the price at the pump for Trump's reckless war in Iran. Today, I co-led a roundtable to highlight the strain that rising gas prices have put on working families, small businesses, and farmers in NJ and around the country.

This administration has given itself a 60 day clock to negotiate a new nuclear deal with Iran, something that requires time, thoughtfulness, and careful diplomacy. We have not seen that from this administration. 1/2

Trump entered a war of choice with no plan for how to end it and our families paying the price. It's beyond time Congress put an end to Trump's costly and illegal Iran War.

We see and feel the impact of gun violence on a regular basis. From mass shootings to election intimidation – it has become far too normal in our society. I joined @apiavote.bsky.social to take a stand against it. Ending gun violence is critical to protecting our rights and freedoms.

Trump is a mob boss who’s still trying to take away our right to vote through threats and intimidation. We must reject this violation of our basic rights.

No one deserves to live in fear of another mass shooting or the daily occurrence of gun violence in our country. That's why I introduced the Gun Violence Records and Restoration Act to combat illicit gun trafficking, prevent gun violence, and save lives.

Trump and Republicans just handed ICE $70 billion. How much more money do they need to pad the wallets of big corporations like GEO Group and fund the lawlessness in our streets and the cruelty inside detention centers like Delaney Hall? It's OUR money and it's disgusting.

This is the HIGHEST inflation rate we've see in 3 years. Everything is more expensive: gas, plane tickets, electricity, groceries, healthcare, rent. We can't afford Trump's America any longer.

Trump’s reckless actions abroad mean higher prices here at home. Numbers don’t lie - his war tax on American families is being felt across our economy. We’re sick and tired of it.
