The Republican funding bill for the Department of Housing and Urban Development cuts funding for civil rights enforcement by 67%. I offered an amendment to remove these cuts, and protect all Americans from housing discrimination.

Hi folks! My office is accepting applicants for our Fall internship programs until August 1st. We have three programs: a Legislative internship in Washington D.C., a Constituent Services internship in Ewing NJ, and a Press/Digital internship (in DC or NJ). More info below:

Proud to stand w/ @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social, @repshontelbrown.bsky.social, @alsobrooks.senate.gov & advocates to introduce legislation to research, treat, and prevent uterine fibroids and cancer. There is an epidemic afflicting women—especially women of color—and we must do more to address it.

Today is Black Women’s Equal Pay Day. The day Black women finally catch up to what white men were paid last year. That's more than 6 months of additional work. We can’t fix this without addressing racism, sexism, and structural inequality in our economy.

Republicans know that Trump is the most corrupt president in American history. They know that it has diminished respect for America across the globe. So I asked them to dig deep, and find their courage to stand up to this administration.

The Republican budget would be the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the well off in the history of this country. It cuts food assistance for hungry children, explicitly to offset the cost of tax breaks that overwhelmingly benefit the richest Americans.

I condemn the disturbing and despicable attack in Boulder yesterday. It is the second brazen act of antisemitic violence in as many weeks. This violence, this hatred, has no place in our society. I am praying for the swift recovery of the victims.

Happy Memorial Day! May God bless our fallen service members and their families. We must never forget their service and their sacrifice.

This budget is shameful and cruel. It takes from the most vulnerable to profit the most comfortable. It will make the rich even richer and the poor even poorer.

This is absolutely horrific. I am praying for the victims of this egregious attack, and their families. I hope those responsible for this heinous and hateful act of antisemitic violence are brought to justice.

I’ll be joining @anacabrera.bsky.social on @msnbc.com in a few minutes. Tune in!

Today I stood with my colleagues from NJ, in the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Progressive Caucus and the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social to show our unified support for @replamonica.bsky.social These charges are baseless and politically motivated. We won't be intimidated.

My statement on the baseless charges announced today against my friend and colleague @replamonica.bsky.social

Secretary Kennedy ended a program that literally keeps the heat on for folks struggling to make ends meet. I asked him why. Here's his response:

From climate change, old infrastructure, and disinvestment in vulnerable communities, millions of Americans risk losing access to one of the most basic necessities - water. Clean water is a human right. I’m introducing the WATER Act w/ @khanna.house.gov & @sanders.senate.gov to protect that right.

Earlier today I spoke with a group of federal workers sitting-in at the Capitol to protest this administration's unlawful treatment of the workers who keep our country functioning. These folks keep our water clean, our food safe, and our medicine effective. They deserve dignity and respect.

Hi folks! A reminder that TOMORROW my office will be hosting a Hybrid Office Hours at the Hillsborough Library Branch from 11am-2pm. You can RSVP here: ushr.zoomgov.com/meeting/regi...

Every attack on free speech is a sign of weakness. They're doing this because they're weak. They're afraid of honest reporting on what they're doing because they know people don't like it, and they're afraid of the power the people hold. It's not intimidation, it's cowardice.

Need assistance with a federal agency? Join my office on Tuesday May 6 from 11 AM to 2 PM on ZOOM or at the Hillsborough Library Branch for hybrid office hours. Scan the code below to RSVP.

The Trump administration deported a 4-year-old citizen with Stage 4 cancer and then LIED about it. His mother did not "choose" to bring him with her — she was denied basic due process and the opportunity to contact family so he could remain in the US. It's a shocking level of heartlessness.

The Trump Administration deported a 4-year-old U.S. citizen who has Stage 4 cancer. The soulless depravity of this administration is a stain on our country. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Hi folks! This Saturday I'll be holding a town hall. I encourage any NJ-12 residents who are interested to stop by. More information in the RSVP link below: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

It's an empirical fact that toxic pollution of our air and water is more likely to impact lower income neighborhoods. But instead of lowering the cost of living, Trump is making sure the people most affected by high prices also don't have clean air or clear water. www.nbcnews.com/science/scie...

Today, I stand with millions of Catholics in New Jersey and over one billion around the world in mourning the passing of his Holiness, Pope Francis I.

Right now the richest man in the world is trying to gain access to your Social Security data so he can cut the benefits you worked for and take that money for himself. DOGE is defying a court order to do it. This is the most corrupt administration in history. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The Republican budget is a bad deal. It takes billions of dollars from the public services that millions of Americans rely on, and gives it to the very richest 1% in the form of $7 trillion in tax breaks. I strongly encourage my colleagues to oppose it.

What's in the Republican budget proposal? Trillions in tax breaks for the richest 1%, and billions in cuts to programs that working families rely on.

This is unconscionable: 75% of the 238 migrants the Trump Administration disappeared to a torture prison in El Salvador have no criminal record. This is criminal. This is illegal. This is a Constitutional crisis. www.cbsnews.com/news/what-re...

This chaos could be avoided if Congressional Republicans would just stand up to Trump for once in their lives. We can constrain this president, but only if Republicans get on board. Until then, they own every job cut and dollar lost by this gross incompetence.

This is an atrocity. Amer was 14-years-old. He was an American citizen, from Saddle Brook, NJ. How can the Israeli military possibly justify shooting and killing an American teenager in cold blood? The US must step in and stop this madness. www.northjersey.com/story/news/2...

Today NJ-12 joined thousands across the country to say what should be obvious: Hands off our healthcare. Hands off our public services. Hands off our democracy. Thank you to everyone who showed up and made their voices heard at Hands Off rallies in Trenton, Princeton and Franklin Township!

Hey folks, tomorrow I'll be attending Hands Off rallies in Princeton and in Franklin Township. But there are rallies like this all across the country. I encourage everyone to get out, show your support, and make your voices heard!

The Speaker of the House tried to block a bill that would allow members of Congress who are new moms to vote by proxy while they recover with their newborn. He failed, and then decided to shut the House down for the rest of the week. That's not leadership. That's incompetence.

The incompetence of this is staggering. It seriously endangers the lives of our servicemembers. Trump officials couldn't even be bothered to take the most basic precautions to protect the men and women willing to give everything for this country. Absolutely shameful.

Today, we celebrate the remarkable contributions of the trans community to New Jersey and the country! We must continue to cherish and uplift trans voices and fight back against hate and discrimination. Happy #TransDayOfVisibility !

An arms embargo is the only way to preserve what remains of America's moral standing in the world, and to put an end to the indiscriminate bombardment of innocent Palestinian children. Read my op-ed in @newsweek.com here: www.newsweek.com/democratic-r...

Trump is trying to take a page out of President Musk's playbook with this blatantly illegal union busting. Federal workers have a right to collectively bargain. And we're all better for it. The work they do is better when they have safety, respect, and dignity in the workplace.

Join me and @newjerseyoag.bsky.social TODAY at 1:30pm for an Instagram live discussion on how NJ is fighting back against this administration through legislation, litigation and organization. Tune in to learn more about what you can do to help: @RepBonnie on IG.

And there it is. Trump's Social Security cuts already hurting beneficiaries. "Wait times for basic phone service have grown, in some cases to hours... Delays in reviews of disability claims and hearings before administrative law judges are already starting." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

In word and in deed, the Trump Administration is hurting veterans who served and sacrificed for our country.

Trump’s tariffs are a tax on working families. Higher grocery bills, pricier essentials, fewer jobs, and more layoffs. We don’t need a trade war - we need an economy that helps Americans put food on the table.

Tune in TODAY at 3:30pm for an IG Live with my guest for the Joint Address, Dr. Adam Hamawy of North Brunswick. Dr. Hamawy is an Army vet, surgeon, and humanitarian who volunteered his medical expertise in Gaza. We'll discuss the path forward for peace in the region. Join us @RepBonnie on IG!

The Trump Admin just announced they're re-opening a private prison in New Jersey. And it turns out that private prison is operated by a major Trump donor 🧵

Republicans’ budget proposal orders the Energy and Commerce committee to find $880 billion in funding cuts. The ONLY way that’s mathematically possible is by cutting Medicaid, devastating the millions of Americans who rely on it for healthcare. It’s wrong, and we’ll fight day and night to stop it.

When your voters don't like what you're doing and tell you so, you ought to change your behavior. Republicans, however, are instead choosing to run and hide from their own constituents rather than represent them. Shameful.

Republicans just voted to raise your healthcare costs so they can cut taxes for their billionaire donors. This is a raw deal for working people. It’s a huge gift to the wealthy donors who have successfully bought off the GOP. I'll continue to make sure this cruel proposal never becomes law.

Half of all children in this country receive Medicaid coverage. The richest one percent of the population will get the biggest benefit from the Republican tax plan, which cuts Medicaid to try to offset the lost revenue. 50% of kids should not have to pay for the 1%'s tax cuts.

Jersey has over 80k federal workers. These folks care for our seniors and vets. They develop cancer treatments and keep us safe. NJ Republican Congressmen Kean, Van Drew and Smith are enabling this betrayal of our communities. Shame on them. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

I don't think that my parents, because they're on Social Security, are parasites. I don't think my neighbor who is on Medicaid is a parasite. I need Republicans to get right with themselves.

Working families should not pay for another round of Trump tax breaks for billionaires & large corporations, but that's what Republicans are proposing. I introduced an amendment to protect tax dollars & vital lifelines like Medicare, Social Security and other support millions of Americans rely on.
