What I saw today in Newark is a scene I never imagined experiencing in my lifetime. But I refuse to believe today reflects who we are as a country. We must all commit to correcting the course our country is on. Standing side by side, I know we can achieve those better tomorrows - together.
Ten months ago today, our community was shaken by a tragic helicopter crash on the Hudson that claimed six lives.
The time to stop this helicopter insanity is now.

Today, I went to the House Floor to speak about our bill to ban non-essential helicopters over our skies. 🚁 🔨

Community is how we keep our communities safe.

Grateful to the Hudson County Chamber of Commerce for holding this virtual ICE enforcement training for businesses on Wednesday, Feb. 11 from 12-1 PM.

Now more than ever, it's important to stay educated and know your rights.

A father - married to a U.S. citizen - picking up diapers for his kids in Kearny.

That is who the Trump Administration thinks is a threat to our communities. The Soto family doesn’t deserve this cruel and heartless treatment - no one does.

Important E&C hearing where we discussed coordination and security plans for NJ ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Ensuring the safety of fans, workers, and players is our top priority.

PS: sorry in advance to all Jets and Giants fans😬

With everything our country is facing right now, Trump's continued obsession with interfering in elections is dangerous and cannot be ignored.

Trump knows his Administration is failing the American people, and he knows Republicans would lose if they had to compete in a fair election tomorrow.

From music to government, it’s all about what we leave the next generation. Incredible halftime show and a beautiful reminder of what community looks like.

Guttenberg - Congress is coming to your corner to help with casework, passports, and anything else you need from a federal agency. We hope to see you there!

The only way to deal with a bully is to show them strength, and when it comes to Gateway, we know we are on the right side.

We will not bend the knee. We will keep fighting back to deliver on the largest infrastructure project in the nation.

I’m thankful for Mayor Solomon’s transparency with Jersey City residents about the budget deficit he inherited from the prior administration.

We will work relentlessly to use every tool available at the federal level to help Jersey City move forward.

Everyday we are working to hold big corporations accountable and to make life more affordable for our neighbors.

That’s why I’m proud to be partnering with Rep. Greg Casar on legislation that will lower your bills by requiring owners of data centers to produce their own clean energy.

Grateful that a federal judge has blocked Trump's freeze of Gateway funding.

We will keep fighting to deliver on the most important infrastructure project in the country.

Happy birthday to an icon, a fighter, my friend and North Star, Rep. Bonnie Watson Coleman.

Grateful to serve with you and to get into some good trouble for New Jerseyans every day. Your leadership and belief in people-first government light the way for all of us. 🫶

Today, I stood with students who have experienced the trauma that has been caused by the Trump Admin. I listened to their stories. I shared their pain. And I let them know that they are not in this fight alone.

We will never relent in the fight for our communities and for the soul of our nation.

Thank you to everyone for joining our Know Your Rights information session with Reps. Bonnie Watson Coleman, LaMonica McIver and the ACLU NJ.

Community is how we keep our communities safe.

The Gateway Project has made sense from day one, it makes sense today. We will continue to drive it forward because that is what our residents have asked for and because that is what our country deserves.

Kristi Noem and Stephen Miller are two of many dangers inside the Trump Administration.

Beyond the who is the what and the dangerous lies that come out of the White House to perpetuate their own spin tear at the fragile fabric of our nation. It all must end. They all will be held accountable.

Community is how we keep our communities safe.

That's why our team is hosting legal observer information sessions for you to learn how to document ICE/immigration enforcement officers' conduct. Now more than ever, it's important to stay educated and know your rights.
February 5, 2026 at 2:47 PM
Nobody is safe in Trump's America.

That’s why House Democrats will keep calling out this Administration until Noem is impeached, ICE no longer exists, and our communities can live without fear.

Today’s announcement doesn't bring back Renee Good, Alex Pretti, or the thousands of people ICE ripped away from their families.

We must keep fighting until ICE is out of all of our communities - for good.

When Jean Wilson Brutus died at Delaney Hall, we showed up immediately and demanded answers. We did the same after the death of Renee Good in Minnesota.
