Today's decision by the Supreme Court will continue to dilute the voice of the people and make it easier for our elections to be bought by the wealthy and well-connected. We must stand up against this kind of money in politics. More here ⬇️

And today, the Supreme Court said that no president can. The Constitution says, if you're born in America, you're an American.

Trump’s bullying cost New Jerseyans time, jobs, and money. And now we’re right back where we started. This ruling tells us what we already know: Trump’s mob boss tactics are illegal and a complete waste of time.

America’s first 250 years were defined by the power of its people. It is this power that will chart the course for the next 250.

So glad to see this win for the millions of voters who cast their ballots by mail. Even the President himself benefits from this form of democracy. Relieved this decision was upheld and we can move on.

Every person deserves a living wage. As the son of immigrants, I know the meaning behind the American Dream – but it’s only possible if people are able to meet their basic needs. That's why I co-sponsored the Living Wage for All Act to ensure working families can thrive.

It always brings a smile to my face when I pick my boys up from summer camp and get to hear about their adventures. Every kid should have these opportunities. That's why I introduced the Summer Camp for All Act to make sure ALL kids are able to build these memories.

Devastated to see the loss of life and damage done by the earthquakes in Venezuela. Thank you to the rescue teams for your efforts and dedication. I’m glad the international community has rallied quickly to support Venezuelans during their time of need. What a tragedy.

Trump is holding the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act – the biggest housing bill in nearly 30 years – hostage because he doesn't care about YOU.

We should all be concerned about this trend. We can't create economic opportunities here at home if we aren't seen as a reliable partner abroad. If we're to build a more resilient future, we have to lean into our alliances that will power the future global economy.

Four years ago, the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade and devastatingly eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion. Today, Americans’ reproductive freedoms remain at risk. We must continue to protect the freedom to decide when, if, and how to start a family.

It's about time. Americans paid billions for a war they never had a say in. It's about time we honored their voices to end this unnecessary war.

Americans have been forced into impossible healthcare decisions by this administration. Not having access to insurance is dangerous and it ultimately costs taxpayers more. This is unfortunately only the beginning of the hardship that will come from Trump’s policies.

Today, we passed the biggest housing bill in nearly 30 years – and Senate Democrats got it done. I'm proud to have played a key role in crafting this bill that will deliver relief to families in NJ and across this country. Let's build more housing that YOU can afford.

Trump sent us into a reckless war of choice with Iran only to put us in a worse position than before. This war cost 13 Americans their lives, burned through munitions stockpiles, took our eye off the ball the Indo-Pacific, and cost Americans nearly $60 billion in sky high gas prices. 1/3
