We should call together a Senate wide discussion on next steps and set out to pass critical bipartisan legislation that we can get done before the end of the year like the MATCH Act and BLADE Act that I’ve put forward along with other legislation to protect our kids. 5/8

The American people don’t want this technology to advance without rules that they have a say in writing. The Senate will reconvene this week. 4/8

Technology and innovation must move forward; it’s what has powered our nation’s economy and kept us safe. But moving forward recklessly without sensible controls is a recipe for chaos and danger. 3/8

The warnings we’ve gotten after multiple concerning AI incidents need to serve as a wake-up call to establish a comprehensive approach including government action to put guardrails on our own technology, and ensure that our competitors & adversaries aren't able to develop dangerous technologies. 2/8

AI is moving faster than anyone - including its creators - can understand or control. We need to act and act now to ensure that humans remain in control of this technology and that all people - not just the elite few - benefit from it. 1/8

I’ve got two kids. I’ve been to a lot of doctor’s appointments with them and know that when your pediatrician says something, you listen. MediKids is designed with kids in mind because we listened to pediatricians.

MediKids would raise the bar for what raising healthy kids looks like in our society. Guaranteed mental health, dental, and vision coverage for all kids with automatic enrollment at birth. The ability to go to the doctor when you're sick. That's what MediKids is all about.

For many Americans, continuing education and workforce training programs are vital in shaping successful financial futures. I will continue to do everything I can to ensure New Jerseyans are able to access these essential programs. 2/2

Universal coverage for all kids under MediKids would provide much needed and much deserved relief to many young people with disabilities and their families. It would help support children with disabilities early on and in their transition to young adulthood and independent living. 3/3

While visiting PCIL, I heard directly from staff and consumers about the devastating impact Medicaid cuts have on access to healthcare as well as vital supports and services. 2/3

There is a clear cycle of corruption between the Trump administration and the companies that run his for-profit detention centers. Delaney Hall must be shut down for good.

This is scary and dangerous stuff. Each day we’re learning more about the potentially catastrophic threat AI poses to our national security. We must ensure frontier AI models do not enable a state or rogue actor from developing a devastating weapon or bioweapon.

The personal reminders I keep of 9/11 in my Senate office. 25 years later, I'm still thinking of all we lost and how we move forward.

Today is the 25th anniversary of September 11th, a day that changed so many of our lives, including my own. I join you in remembering those we lost and honoring the heroes who saved lives. We are all part of something bigger than ourselves. We can't take it for granted.

"Sometimes I’m asked to speak of my experiences and I find it difficult – big strong firemen, that puts us to our knees. I can never forget what I’ve seen. I can only help people through their darkness and find a path through light. And I’ll continue.”

"When 9/11 comes around, I become emotionally distraught and very overwhelmed from time to time. I try to find peace here. Most times I do."

"25 years later, what I remember most is the panic. People were fleeing lower Manhattan in boats and water taxies and any way they could flee to come to safety. To come here to Jersey City. They were covered in dust and dirt and fearing for their lives. And our people were here to help them."
- AK
“I thought I was going to die that day. On 9/11, I responded to Lower Manhattan. We were at the edge of the rubble pile, things were burning, and there was no light. But in that very moment, I had to shake that fear of death off because people depended on me. I find my solace in helping people."

“GEO Group and the Trump administration right now are making a choice: to gain by making others suffer. But it is not their choice to make.” I’ve been back to Delaney Hall many times to check on the people inside. I wrote about what we must do to shut this detention center down for good.

Happy Labor Day, New Jersey! Today, we recognize the working people who help our communities thrive. As our nation faces an affordability crisis, it's important we have workers’ backs. Everyone deserve the dignity of being able to provide for themselves and their loved ones.

I toured the emergency department at Atlantic Health Hackettstown Medical Center and spoke with nurses about healthcare barriers in rural communities and the impact of Medicaid cuts. They told me guaranteed healthcare for all kids under MediKids would ease the burden their patients face.

Even though M&M Mars' corporate offices are moving out of New Jersey, factories like these are vital to training our state’s workforce and keeping manufacturing jobs here at home. So cool to see how the candy gets made! 2/2

To no one’s surprise, this administration is once again denying relief to disaster survivors. We all remember how devastating the LA wildfires were last year. So many families are relying on our help to get back on their feet.

89% of Americans believe our government is corrupt, because it is. We all see it. I’ve got a stock ban bill that will put us on a path to change. You deserve a government that works for you, not against you.

What an incredible life. An iconic advocate for women’s rights, Gloria Steinem taught us what it means to fight for reproductive rights and gender equality. I know many, including myself, will miss her guiding light, but her legacy will live on in the community she created.

Nationwide, it's clear ICE doesn't care about the health of the people they detain. The lack of accountability is unacceptable. At Delaney Hall and other facilities, people are suffering without proper medical care. They deserve so much better – that's what I'm fighting for.
