Proud to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. here in Long Branch with the color guard.

On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we honor Dr. King’s legacy as a trailblazer for liberty in America.

We must carry on the work to achieve his dreams of equality and justice in the face of growing attacks on civil rights and free expression.

I’m proud of Springsteen for calling out Trump’s erosion of America’s promise.

Trump is trying to silence protests against ICE’s lawlessness. Our democracy is being tested, and like the Boss says—we must speak out against those who seek to destroy America’s values and ideals.

Trump is threatening military action across the globe right as he shuts serious journalists out of the Pentagon and turns anything that remains into a propaganda mouthpiece.

This should scare anyone who believes in government accountability. apnews.com/article/star...
Defense Department says military newspaper Stars and Stripes must eliminate 'woke distractions'
The Defense Department says it is revamping the military newspaper Stars and Stripes to focus on “reporting for our warfighters” and eliminate woke distractions.

Brendan Carr is weaponizing the FCC to censor speech Trump doesn't like. And Republicans are letting them get away with it.

I'm teaming up with @wyden.senate.gov
to demand the Trump Administration restore important measurements of child vaccinations. 

We cannot abdicate responsibility to monitor the quality of care provided to nearly half of our nation’s children. democrats-energycommerce.house.gov/media/press-...

It’s Congress’ job to make sure our first responders have the tools they need to do theirs. That’s why I’m strongly supporting passage of Next Generation 9-1-1 in @energycommerce.bsky.social today.

It’s National Bagel Day today—and every day in New Jersey! We’re the bagel capital of America, no matter what those wannabes across the Hudson might tell you.

The past year Chairman Brendan Carr has weaponized @FCC to benefit Trump and punish anyone who challenges him.

On Kristi Noem's watch, FEMA let kids drown and entire communities get washed away. Now she's planning to cut more staff from an agency already on life support—and America can't afford that.

ICYMI: I joined HUNDREDS of my colleagues in the House to demand answers from Secretary Noem and DHS after an ICE agent shot and killed Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis last week.

ICYMI: I have GOOD NEWS for Monmouth Medical Center hospital in Long Branch!
January 13, 2026 at 9:06 PM
Great news! I secured $2 MILLION in federal funding to replace lead pipes and improve access to clean drinking water in Matawan and Red Bank.
January 13, 2026 at 2:58 PM
UPDATE: I'm proud to share that the NJ State Legislature PASSED legislation to save Monmouth Medical Center hospital services in Long Branch!
January 13, 2026 at 2:27 AM
Big news! I secured over $2 MILLION in federal funds to upgrade water treatment infrastructure in Asbury Park and Perth Amboy.

This funding will help our communities screen water for debris and “forever chemicals” — keeping ocean and Bayshore water clean for residents and visitors alike.

Grok is churning out sexualized images of women and children while Trump and Republicans are trying to block states from regulating AI. Elon Musk is “addressing” this by charging users to create these exploitative images, which doesn’t stop the exploitation at all.

Spoke in Metuchen at a rally to protest the Trump Administration’s inhumane immigration policies—in particular, ICE’s unlawful seizure of Sener Kalkan, a Metuchen resident, after his asylum hearing.
January 10, 2026 at 8:10 PM
NEWS: I crafted legislation with RWJ Barnabas, Governor Murphy, and NJ legislative leaders Vin Gopal, Joe Vitale, Margie Donlon and Luanne Peterpaul to keep acute-care inpatient hospital services at Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch!

The House has finally acted to lower health care costs. Senate Republicans must join Democrats to immediately do the same on behalf of the more than 20 million Americans who rely on these life-saving tax credits.
January 8, 2026 at 10:22 PM
Republicans cut a TRILLION dollars from health care and allowed insurance premiums to skyrocket for tens of millions of Americans. 

And now they’re holding a hearing on legislation to supposedly strengthen Medicare while doing nothing to fix the chaos they’ve created in our health care system.

The Iranian regime has once again answered its people’s demands for economic prosperity and respect for basic civil and personal liberties with gunfire. It has shown repeatedly that it is not only willing to inflict terror on its neighbors, but on its own population.
January 8, 2026 at 4:11 PM
The latest scenes out of Minneapolis are stomach-churning. This is a terrifying escalation of violence and these ICE agents must be held accountable.
January 7, 2026 at 9:10 PM
This past year Trump has put American lives at risk by dismantling the independence of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission – the agency responsible for ensuring our nuclear facilities are safe.

Today, @housedemocrats.bsky.social and Senate Democrats came together on the anniversary of January 6th to remember the brave law enforcement officers who laid down their lives to protect our democracy—including Officer Brian Sicknick, from Middlesex County.

We're already in the midst of record high measles outbreaks across the country and a bad flu season.
 
Now, Secretary Kennedy is going to allow more deadly diseases to spread in our schools and playgrounds.
 
He should be fired immediately before more lives are lost.
