Happy Chuseok/Mid-Autumn Festival to all who celebrate! Chuseok is not only a time of harvest but also a time of togetherness and unity. I hope you’ll join me in honoring these values. I know I have lots to be thankful for.

Yet another useless thing Trump is spending YOUR money on. And, how’d this go from a $14,000 ad to an over $430,000 ad? What a waste of our tax dollars.

No child in our country should go hungry, but red tape is preventing many military children from getting nutritious meals at school. That's why I introduced the Military Dependents School Meal Eligibility Act to ensure military children are no longer excluded from school meal assistance programs.

President Xi has been providing weapons and intelligence support to Iran against the U.S. In return, Trump rolls out the red carpet for him and meets him plane-side. Absolutely ridiculous.

Did you know there are about 50,000 weddings a year in New Jersey that have an economic impact of roughly $5.1 billion? 1/3

New Jerseyans deserve to have public servants who work to earn and keep their trust, not undermine it. The findings of the independent report are unacceptable. The Lt. Governor should resign immediately. —AK

It should be a crime for public officials to accept bribes or tips. I introduced two bills to fix what should be obvious: accepting payments for influence and access, in all forms, is wrong. Let’s reset the standard and hold ourselves accountable to the people we serve.

We needed to get a handle on AI yesterday — and this is why. AI agents autonomously hacking into government websites is incredibly dangerous and a threat to the national security of every country in the world. 1/2

Happy 100th, John Coltrane 🎷 Did you know his masterpiece “A Love Supreme” was recorded in a single session at Van Gelder Studio in Englewood Cliffs, NJ? Trane's thank-you to God, made right here in Jersey.

Gas has reached $4.99 and diesel $6.59 in Maywood, NJ. We don't want a war, an arch, or a ballroom. We just want cheaper gas, groceries, and everyday goods. Trump's decisions have made our country too expensive.

We can’t give China the technology to manufacture advanced chips for AI. That’s what the MATCH Act is all about and why we need to act now.

Our country is at a breaking point when it comes to healthcare. Americans need relief. MediKids – healthcare for all kids – is the crucial first step we need.

Happy Jersey Fresh Farm to School Week! I'm grateful schools have the opportunity to connect with local farms and bring fresh produce, nutrition education, and agricultural awareness to cafeterias and students across the Garden State.

Since when did stroking the president’s ego with yet another construction project become critical to our safety? This isn’t national security. This is another poor excuse for a Trump vanity project.

When I first met Ariadna, she was still inside Delaney Hall. She translated for the other women inside, helping me learn their stories. Now that she’s out, she’s still shining a light on their experiences.

The gifts never end: A private flight to Aspen. Access to a millionaire’s vacation home. A quarter of a million dollars to go to Fiji and Greece. This is what it’s like to buy influence with the Trump administration.

It's always great to see New Jerseyans around the Capitol! @acscan.bsky.social does incredible work to support families facing cancer all across this country. We must increase funding for cancer research and access to clinical trials. It's how we'll finally find a cure.

New Jersey is home to Welch's Fruit Snacks! 🍇 I met with PIM Brands, the maker of Welch's, to discuss their work in the Garden State. It's great to have this kind of business creating jobs and investing in the communities we call home.

This isn't a one-off dispute, it's a stated program — and it's already been tried and lost. Check the AP case, Trump cannot ban outlets based on coverage he doesn’t like. Freedom of press is core to our democracy, and our democracy must survive this self absorbed President.

Karim Daoud was detained by ICE on the same day he went to pick up work authorization documents. He was then held in the Elizabeth Detention Facility for over 9 months. It is a testament to his community that he is home with his children today.

It's never been more clear to me how badly we need a solution to the healthcare crisis we're in. That's why I introduced MediKids – to put forward a solution that eases the burden. We can and should ensure healthcare doesn't leave families in crippling debt.

It is unacceptable that anyone is forced to wait months or even years for the benefits they worked hard to earn. Care cannot be put on hold. That's why I introduced the Stop the Wait Act to stand up for the disability community and end harmful waiting periods that delay the support they deserve.

My father was a medical researcher who tried to cure Alzheimer's. Now, suffering from Alzheimer's himself, he can't remember what he once dedicated his life to. Millions of people need our help. That's why I questioned HHS Deputy Sec Nominee about his commitment to supporting caregivers.

I joined @aarp.org New Jersey for a telephone town hall to talk all things healthcare, caregiving, and aging with dignity. As a father and a caregiver, these issues are close to my heart. It's important to hear your stories and to carry them with me in all I do as your U.S. Senator.

This is why I introduced a bill to ban stock trading across all three branches of government. No one should get a free pass when they’ve been trusted to work in the best interest of the people they serve. Especially not the President.

This price tag has cost all of us. $38 billion is an unfathomable amount. But every family has paid money from their own wallets to fund Trump’s war. Let’s put an end to it now.

Seeing this news breaks my heart — that so many families are afraid to gather in a community they call home because of this administration’s cruelty. Hispanic heritage and culture deserves to be celebrated. Hispanic communities in NJ deserve so much better.
