Happy Women’s Equality Day! Today, we celebrate the 19th Amendment, which gave women the right to vote, as well as recognize the contributions women have made throughout our country’s history and continue to make today.

Delighted to see that @princeton.edu is one of eight research institutes to receive NSF funding for the advancement of quantum science in the U.S. This is critical to building an Einstein Corridor across our state and another example of how NJ is leading the way on innovative technologies!

It's back-to-school season, which means it's time to plan those annual checkups! Healthy kids are ready to learn and succeed inside and outside the classroom. MediKids would guarantee healthcare for all kids and make your back-to-school to-do list that much easier.

MediKids is the start of a conversation for our country's future, one where we save Americans money and everyone has care.

It was great to visit Bayonne Dry Dock, the largest dry dock in the northeastern U.S., that is helping us advance shipbuilding every single day. Investing in institutions like these is how we'll build an Einstein Corridor that creates opportunities and jobs for New Jersey.

Saint James Health has a unique set up as a federally-qualified health center. Located in a Newark high school, this innovative approach helps ensure that everyone in the community has meaningful access to healthcare.

I met with Mayor Solomon in Jersey City to discuss our shared priorities, including building more affordable housing and keeping New Jerseyans safe from ICE aggression. This local-federal partnership is key to serving residents in Jersey City and across the Garden State.

The parents I know already have a lot to juggle. Now, they're adding more expensive back-to-school supplies to the list. We should be able to set kids up to succeed whether it's with a notebook or annual checkup. It doesn't have to be this hard.

The Watershed Institute is a nature reserve and LEED-Platinum center in Hopewell Township, NJ, focused on addressing flooding and water quality. On my tour of the institute, I learned about how researchers monitor the surrounding ecosystem and educate communities on environmental protection. 1/2

Not only are individuals profiting off insider trading involving military actions, but this type of prediction market behavior directly impacts our national security. 1/3

Servicemembers aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln were set to come home in May. They've been at sea for 272 days with no port visits, and the reported conditions on board are nothing short of harrowing. They now face a weeks-long journey home. 1/2

Here's what I heard when I visited Delaney Hall today and spoke with people who are detained there. I won't stop fighting to shut this facility down and help detainees get the medical care they need.

I spent time in Trenton to hear from families who MediKids would help. As parents, we all juggle a lot. MediKids means you juggle less.

When my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's, I went from being a son to being a caregiver. We don't always get to determine how and when we become a caregiver to our loved ones.

At Medina Health Center in Trenton, I heard from parents about how community health centers help them access and afford vital care for their kids. Their stories are why I introduced MediKids. We must ensure all children have access to the healthcare they need to thrive.

Happy National Patient Advocacy Day! As a father and a caregiver, I know hard it can be for both patients and families to find care. Everyone should have access to care. The only thing people should have to worry about when they’re injured or sick is getting better.

The Trump family crypto company, World Liberty Financial, just got approved for a bank charter. That makes Trump the first president in history to approve and oversee his own company's ability to operate a bank. 1/2

We are months into the Iran War with nothing to show for it. Trump’s ego has cost us American lives and billions of dollars. This war needs to come to an end.

Parents worry about whether or not they can afford healthcare for their kids. MediKids would eliminate this anxiety and ensure every kid is able to get the care they need. Before I launched MediKids, I asked New Jerseyans to share their stories. This is Denean's and Alison's.

We must ensure that America continues to set the global standard for innovation. That’s why I introduced the BLADE Act – to deter foreign powers from stealing American companies’ software and ensure that our technology remains secure.

I met with Teamsters & BLET to discuss rail safety and the importance of supporting NJ's railroad workers. When we think about transportation and helping people get to where they need to go, we can't forget about our trains and railroads, the people who power them, and the safety of all passengers.

The Social Security Act was signed into law by FDR 91 years ago today. It continues to help millions of aging Americans every year. As we look toward the future, we must continue to ensure that everyone receives the support they need to retire with dignity.

The Trump administration could use this $464 MILLION to fund food, housing, or healthcare that would help millions of Americans. Instead, they bought planes they don’t need and aren’t using. What a waste.

No one is happy with the status quo. Medikids is how we change it - by making sure all our kids have healthcare.

These numbers are shameful. It's unacceptable that anyone in NJ is going hungry. That's why I'm fighting so every family can afford to put food on the table, and introducing legislation like the Summer Meals REACH Act which would ensure kids have access to food all year round.

The USS Abraham Lincoln has been at sea for over 250 days as Trump continues to drag out his reckless war in Iran. To learn this has resulted in an extended deployment and distress for sailors and Marines is irresponsible and careless. 1/2

The late announcement of yet another death associated with Delaney Hall exposes how ICE tries to avoid responsibility. I will keep fighting to shut this place down and shine a light on the poor conditions. My full statement here.

Trump has said it himself: he doesn’t care about how this war is hurting you. He started this conflict with no justification or authorization. Half a year later, we’re still paying the price.

As a caregiver to my father, my top priority is making sure my dad can live with dignity and comfort. Too often, this becomes a question of what we can afford. I introduced the Medicare At Home Act to make home care an option for seniors and people with disabilities.

These numbers reflect the lived experiences of so many families I hear from in New Jersey. Trump promised to lower costs, but we're seeing things like gas, flights, and technology get more expensive as a result of his reckless war in Iran. Americans have had enough.

Trump is making it easier for cartels, criminals, and U.S. adversaries to abuse our financial system and harm Americans. Why? Because he’s in the pocket of billionaires like Elon Musk who’d potentially benefit from his shady and corrupt actions.

All kids, regardless of whether their parents are rich or poor, deserve healthcare. And no one should stay in a bad job simply because they can't afford their kids' care if they don't. That's why we need MediKids - guaranteed healthcare for every child in America.
