Happy Teacher Appreciation Week! I'm proud to be a public school kid representing NJ. I wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for the teachers and educators who shaped my path along the way. To all the teachers out there, thank you for all you do for NJ and this country!

Last weekend, I met with Bridgeton Mayor Albert Kelly and other town officials to learn about the issues facing their community. We discussed the need to invest in affordable housing and transportation; lower high costs, including gas prices; and invest in workforce training and education. 1/2

No worker should be left fighting for the basic right to a safe job. That's why I co-sponsored @sanders.senate.gov's and @baldwin.senate.gov's Protecting America's Workers Act. We need to have the backs of all workers, in every corner of our country and across every industry.

The Abilities Expo was inspiring. I'm glad that people with disabilities and their families, caregivers, and advocates are able to come together in this way, get the resources they need, see the latest innovations and technologies, and connect with communities across the state.

Gas prices are insane right now. Danielle, an Uber and Lyft driver in South Carolina, went from paying $25 per fill up to $40 or more. Money directly out of her wallet, her take home pay. We're drowning in this war tax.

The rise in antisemitism is beyond troubling. It should be a call to action for us all. I’ve heard from Jewish communities in NJ about these anxieties. No one should fear being the target of this kind of hate. We must do everything we can to combat it in all its forms.

It was great to attend and speak at the Cumberland County Bar Association's Law Day breakfast. I shared what the American Dream has meant to me and my family, and the importance of upholding the rule of law to preserve the American Dream for generations to come.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. Mental health is essential to our well-being and the care of our communities. In Congress, I'm committed to supporting mental health initiatives. Taking care of yourself is paramount to taking care of others. We’re here for you, NJ.

I spoke to people back home in NJ who are seeing this costly war in Iran being waged at their expense, but without their say. They asked me, "What about us?"

Happy Jewish American Heritage Month! I'd like to take a moment to honor the contributions Jewish Americans make to New Jersey. Celebrating Jewish heritage and communities across the country is just one way we can reject antisemitism in all its forms.

Trump’s war in Iran is hurting our wallets. The national average for gas is up again. $4.46 per gallon. I was just driving around New Jersey, seeing the high prices all over the state and hearing from communities: We can't keep absorbing this war tax.

I’m proud to have helped bring $2.9 million federal dollars in Congressionally Directed Spending to the Minnie B. Veal Community Center in Edison, NJ. 1/2

I'm glad to see the Supreme Court standing up for reproductive health and freedom. We can't go backwards. This is only one part of the fight to protecting abortion access. We must continue to advocate for Americans' right to make decisions about their own bodies and healthcare.

These public servants never should have faced retaliation for raising the alarm and trying to keep us safe. I’ve called for these whistleblowers to be reinstated and applaud their bravery and dedication in the face of attacks from this administration. 1/2

Let’s call this out for exactly what it is: a corrupt scheme by Trump to manipulate the Fed to work for him, not you. Senate Republicans are helping him get away with it.

Employing the U.S. military in Cuba will do nothing to lower the price we’re paying at the pump or help people put food on the table. The last thing we need is Trump using our military for another foreign stunt — in our name but without our say.

Organizations like the Rescue Mission of Trenton are transforming lives and providing critical services to unhoused populations. I visited them to learn about their work and hear what challenges they face. We must continue to invest in care for every single New Jerseyan.

This is yet another ruling that weakens voting rights for all Americans. The Voting Rights Act has suffered death by a thousand cuts. We must stand up in Congress to restore voting rights and ensure everyone's voice is heard in our elections.

Gas prices continue to rise every single day. We're now paying an average of $4.18 per gallon for gas. It's unsustainable. You had no say in Trump’s war but you’re paying its price.

Prediction markets are the Wild West for corruption and Trump and his family are taking advantage of it. That’s why I introduced legislation to put safeguards in place. It’s just common sense.

Trump wants a Fed Chair that will do his bidding. He'll drop the bogus investigation into Powell but not Lisa Cook because it clears the path for Senate Republicans to confirm Kevin Warsh, Trump’s pick for Fed Chair. You deserve a Fed that works for you, not Donald Trump.
