16 years ago, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, expanding access to healthcare for tens of millions of uninsured Americans. Today, families across NJ are struggling to afford the coverage they once could under the ACA because of Republican cuts. 1/2

We tried to get funding to TSA workers SEVEN times. Republicans blocked them all. Don’t let them tell you this isn’t their fault.

Long lines. TSA workers without pay. ICE agents in our airports. Trump is holding our country hostage. It’s time Senate Republicans agree to fund TSA

This is absolutely unacceptable. When disaster strikes, it doesn't matter if you're a Democrat or Republican. All that matters is that you and your community get the help you deserve. This kind of partisan decision-making is not only irresponsible, it can cost lives.

The crash at LaGuardia Airport is scary and heartbreaking. This morning, I grieve alongside the families of the victims and hope for a speedy recovery for all those injured.

Americans don’t want ICE in our airports or in our communities. We just want Republicans to agree to fund TSA so workers can be paid and these lines can go down. Trump is trying to intimidate us. It’s time Republicans agree to fund TSA instead of voting it down every time.

Republicans gave ICE $75 Billion just last summer. They are holding you hostage in TSA lines to give them even MORE. We’re ready to fund TSA now. Let’s get this done.

What a waste of taxpayer dollars. The report I released with @SenGaryPeters found that the National Guard’s deployment in DC does little to combat violent crime and costs over $1 million per day. That’s because this is just another power play by Donald Trump.

It was a pleasure to meet with Commissioner Solomeno and the NJ Department of Veteran’s Affairs to discuss how we can best support NJ veterans. I'm committed to making sure those who serve our country get the help they need and look forward to working with DVA and the Sherrill Administration.

A little 101: Oil prices are global. Shortages around the world means price hikes for all. We pay the price.

It was great to meet with students from the Rowan Institute of Public Policy and Citizenship (RIPPAC) and hear about what's been on their minds. This is the next generation of leaders in New Jersey and beyond. I'm proud to support them on their journeys!

In Trump’s America, bribery is the name of the game. Trump’s cronies like Corey Lewandowski profit off of power and your pain. This blatant corruption is disgraceful.

Trump and Republicans want $200 billion for their Iran war. Last summer, they cut nearly $200 billion from food assistance. These may be Trump’s priorities, but they’re not ours.

Our alliance with Japan supports jobs, fosters innovation, and serves as the cornerstone for security across the Indo-Pacific. I'm proud to stand with colleagues from both sides of the aisle in welcoming Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae to the U.S.

We keep trying to fund TSA and pay thousands of workers across this country, but Republicans refuse to let us do so. We're ready now. Let's fund TSA.

Trump is trying to price you out of voting and give your power to his billionaire donors with the SAVE America Act. As a father, I refuse to let my kids grow up in a country doomed by Donald Trump.

Noem’s $100K FEMA approval policy kept vital funds from communities after natural disasters. I worked with RM @peters.senate.gov to expose its dangerous impacts. Today, I got DHS secretary nominee Mullin to commit to revoking this harmful policy if he is confirmed. We must hold him to it.

Long-term pain at the pump. A war with no end in sight. That’s Trump’s idea of making things better for you.

Day 18 of Trump's war in Iran. No plan and no end in sight. Just higher gas prices and a war you're footing the bill for.

The SAVE America Act is an awful bill that furthers Trump's agenda to gain more power and price people out of voting. It's a poll tax on you.

It was an honor to join the Congressional Dads Caucus for their first-ever National Summit on the Caregiving Crisis. Care is the backbone of our economy. As a member of the Sandwich Generation, I promise to fight for the care our loved ones, from our kids to our aging parents, deserve.

Recently, I met with leaders from NJ American Legion. We discussed the need to expand access to healthcare, including mental health services, for veterans, and end veteran homelessness. I look forward to continuing to fight to ensure all NJ veterans get the support they need.

If you're waiting in a TSA line, you can thank Senate Republicans for rejecting Democrats' proposal to fund TSA. We can support TSA workers while we hold this administration accountable. Last week, Republicans chose Trump over you.

I am relieved that Leqaa Kordia has been released from ICE’s custody and is finally free. This should never have happened. Thank you to all in NJ who stood up for Leqaa. Because of you, she is now able to be reunited with her family.

As a member of the Sandwich Generation, I understand what it's like to take care of young kids while also caring for aging parents. No one should struggle to provide care to their loved ones.

Senate Republicans are holding TSA, FEMA, and Coast Guard funding hostage to give more money to agencies that have killed Americans on our streets. We can fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard without funding ICE and CBP. Republicans just refuse to.

As we reflect on the first 250 years of our nation, we need to build out tools that will set up the next generation for success. Civics education is at the core of this. That's why I introduced a package of bills to help young people stay informed and engaged.

Elon Musk and billionaires get a tax cut. 7 million Americans with Alzheimer’s get further from a cure. As a caregiver, I am sick and tired of this. We must fund medical research. Millions of American families depend on it.

The price tag for Trump's war in Iran is $1 billion PER DAY. That’d be able to cover: The cost of Medicaid for all 16 million people expected to lose it AND daily food stamps for all 41 million people who rely on them. Trump chose a war without a plan over you.
