MediKids is as simple as it sounds – healthcare for every child in America. Here's why I think we should act now.

Today is the 61st anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 which protected voting rights for marginalized communities, including racial, ethnic, and language minorities. We must continue to put measures in place to protect our rights and make it easier, not harder, to vote.

In New Jersey, we stand up for one another. Know your rights.

This week, we honor the Coast Guard who have protected New Jersey’s coastline. I’m proud of the U.S. Coast Guard Training Center in Cape May and all recruits who pass through our state. Thank you for your service!

This National Health Center Week, I’m grateful for the care Community Health Centers (CHCs) provide to millions of people in this country. I believe everyone should have access to healthcare and am committed to working alongside our CHCs to build a healthier future for all.

Transparency is the bare minimum of what New Jerseyans deserve when it comes to Delaney Hall. This has been the site of suffering in the name of profit; it’s a site that needs to be shut down now. I’ll continue to work with Governor Sherrill and my colleagues in Congress to deliver both.

Edwin Lopez Cornejo, a young man who was detained at Delaney Hall, died this weekend. He leaves behind a family and community who deserve answers.

It’s up to Republicans to do the right thing and help deliver a full budget that provides the relief and support the American people deserve.

Congressional Republicans have an opportunity to work with us on a budget aligned with the priorities of American working families. Those families will be watching in the coming months.

When Democrats stand up for the American people, we can deliver for them; that’s what this continuing resolution does. It not only keeps the government open, it stands in the way of Donald Trump weaponizing this funding for his extreme political agenda.

When anyone tries to skirt regulations on the road, it can cost lives. I introduced the SAFE Act to ensure that unsafe trucking companies are held accountable and that road safety comes first. This will also allow truckers to keep our economy moving with greater peace of mind.

We are moving in the WRONG direction when it comes to kids' healthcare coverage. MediKids would remove the cost burden on states and ensure that every kid has healthcare, no exceptions.

During my visit to the RAIN Foundation House, I heard from current residents about the hope that this place has given them and the importance of investing in the services that help them thrive. Read more about it here.

Happy National Farmers Market Week! Farmers markets provide spaces for communities to gather while enjoying delicious food and fresh produce. There’s no better place to celebrate than the Garden State. Thank you to all the farmers back home who fuel our farmers markets!

It was an honor to sit down with ROK Trade Minister Yeo Han-Koo and convey Congress' bipartisan support for the U.S.-ROK partnership. We discussed Korea's investment in U.S. shipbuilding and strategic industries, and I look forward to deepening this investment in New Jersey.

Parents face incredible anxiety when it comes to caring for their kids. MediKids is the guarantee I think our country needs.

I know I'm not the only one who feels incredible anxiety about the cost of healthcare. That's why I introduced MediKids.

It was wonderful to see Big Brothers Big Sisters of Essex, Hudson, and Union Counties at the Capitol this week. Thank you for bringing hope and mentorship to over 5,000 New Jersey students and congratulations on receiving the 2026 Agency of the Year award. 1/2

MediKids is a real path to universal healthcare for all children in America. I responded to the Washington Post’s Editorial Board on why MediKids won’t just close the gap of uninsured kids, but raise the bar for all. Read the full letter: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I've gotten to know Brian's family since that horrific day. The stories I've heard about Brian are a reminder of the importance of service and the impact even one person can have. He made our state and country proud. 2/2

I’ve worked in the Situation Room and seen the critical role the DNI plays in our national security. We don’t need yet another “yes man” to this president. That’s why I voted against Jay Clayton.

Everyone should have the freedom to decide when and if to start a family. I sat down with @reproductivefreedomforall.org to discuss the state of abortion access nationally and how we can work together to enshrine federal protections for reproductive healthcare.

That's why I introduced the Digital Age Assurance Act alongside Sens. Schiff, Lummis, and Barrasso to puts kids’ data privacy first. Congress and tech companies must do their part to make online spaces safer for our kids. 2/2

Like most parents, I have a lot of anxiety about keeping my two boys safe from dangers online as they grow up in a world full of ever-evolving technology. We owe it to parents and kids to put guardrails in place against invasive child data collection before more harm is done. 1/2

The ADA represents the floor, not the ceiling, and we must continue to push back against harmful efforts, including the DOJ’s effort to roll back the 1999 SCOTUS "Olmstead" decision, which affirmed the ADA's all-important "integration mandate." 3/3

I recently spoke with NephCure about their work on rare kidney diseases. We need to increase access to early diagnosis and educate medical providers on the best treatments. We should always think about how to increase access to care so all Americans can live healthy lives.

Very grateful to receive First Focus Campaign for Children's support for MediKids. This is a compelling case for why we need to act NOW to ensure all kids have healthcare — and coverage that addresses kids’ particular needs on pediatric, dental, vision, and behavioral care.

We don't have to guess anymore. They admitted it in court. It’s not a budget decision, it's the weaponization of government. This administration shows us time and time again they only care about one person — and that person only cares about himself.

Did you know that 1 in 3 kids are underinsured? This means about 23 million kids' healthcare is unable to meet their needs. MediKids solves this problem by guaranteeing comprehensive healthcare for EVERY child. It’s a no-brainer.

Given the lack of details, Trump contradicting his own team, and Saudi officials disputing him, I am a long way from being that confident this agreement is in the U.S.’s interest. 8/8
- AK
Which is it? And what are other provisions? We don’t know because they have not released or even described the details. 7/8
- AK
We need to ensure that an agreement bars enrichment of nuclear materials. The original announcement leaves open the possibility of enrichment in Saudi Arabia — which Trump now disputes. 6/8
- AK
We also need to ensure this is not benefiting Trump and his family at our expense. 5/8
