Reminder that shortly after ordering these strikes, Hegseth removed the press corps from the Pentagon and the SouthCom Commander overseeing operations in the Caribbean unexpectedly announced he is stepping down 2 yrs before his term is up. What we are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg.
Exclusive: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill everybody” in the first strike on suspected drug boats in the Caribbean. After two men survived, the mission commander ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions, according to two sources.
Hegseth order on first Caribbean boat strike, officials say: Kill them all
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a verbal order to kill all crew members in the Sept. 2 strike on a suspected drug boat. Navy SEALs fired a second missile.

I’ve enjoyed getting to know and to work with our Fall 2025 DC interns. They’ve been a wonderful addition to our team. It will be bittersweet to say goodbye to them, but I look forward to seeing what they accomplish next!

I asked people in New Jersey what they're thankful for this holiday season. Their responses remind me that it's the people and everyday acts of kindness that make our communities stronger.
 
What are you grateful for this year?
November 28, 2025 at 5:10 PM
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! However you may celebrate, I am wishing you and your loved ones all the best.

This legislation that would weaken oversight and accountability is the wrong direction for New Jersey.

I spoke out against this before and will request to testify at Monday’s hearing to raise my strong opposition.

I recently joined Hunger Free America and shared one of the more profound experiences I've had in public service.
 
No child, no person, in America should go hungry, and I will fight as long as I'm in the U.S. Senate to end hunger in this country.

Working alongside these fellows has been a true joy. They bring so much talent to our team and I’m grateful for the time they dedicate to fighting for a stronger and healthier New Jersey!

It’s shameful to put your own career, as Speaker Johnson did, over the healthcare of millions of Americans.
 
I’m going to keep fighting to deliver what you deserve: actual affordable healthcare.

From manufacturing enemies to attempting to turn the military into his own personal army, Trump is painting a fuzzy picture through chaos and using the power of the government for himself, not us.

We must connect the dots.

It was an honor to speak to CAPASA last week about public service and how we can confront the moment we’re in as a country head on.

It’s conversations like these that keep me energized and optimistic about the future and the young people who are leading the way.

Let's set the record straight. Donald Trump has nothing to brag about when it comes to lowering costs for American families.
 
We have his tariffs to thank for the high costs we're seeing this year at Thanksgiving.

During the shutdown, I sat down with Cindy and others in a NJ diner, and heard their plea to hold the line when it came to lowering healthcare costs.

Now, Cindy is facing an 85% increase in her healthcare premiums as a result of Trump and Republicans' failure to deliver any relief. 1/2

This Fall, I invited our interns to brief me on a policy issue they care about, and pitch legislative solutions. It was great to see the hard work they put in to tackle problems we face.

This next generation of young, bright leaders is exactly what our country needs.
November 22, 2025 at 1:41 PM
We can’t continue like this as a country.

We can disagree and argue, but these kinds of threats are simply unacceptable.
From a spokesperson for U.S. Senator Elissa Slotkin:

November is National Family Caregivers Month. I want to recognize all the caregivers out there who are doing the hard work of taking care of loved ones, often without pay or adequate support.
 
I see you and I'm going to be working hard to make sure you get the support you need.
November 21, 2025 at 10:46 PM
Costs are too damn high and after almost a year of Trump's chaotic economic policies, we're all feeling the impact.

Enough is enough. You deserve a government that actually cares about lowering your costs.

The Gateway Project will make life easier. As I heard this weekend, it’s about better access to work, school, and opportunities so New Jersey families can thrive.

Congratulations to Omar M. Abuattieh, a Rutgers pharmacy student from Holmdel, NJ, for being selected as a 2026 Rhodes Scholar!

I spoke to Omar on the phone earlier today and am so excited to follow his journey.

Trump is working harder to protect literal Nazis than he is to lower your costs.
Exclusive: The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, nooses and the Confederate flag as hate symbols.

The military service drafted a new policy that classifies them as “potentially divisive.”

For all who condemned political violence in the past, this is one of those moments that clearly crossed the line of acceptability. 1/2
Trump is calling for the six Democratic lawmakers who urged the military not to follow any illegal orders to be arrested, and he’s reposting replies saying they should be hanged and calling them terrorists.

This week, I met with members of IBEW Locals 33 and 400 from NJ to discuss the impact of Trump's Big Disastrous Bill, which took away member jobs and opportunities.
