The cost of health care has an enormous impact on real people’s lives - thank you to everyone who shared their story with me in South Jersey today. It’s vital to remind DC who we’re fighting for.

Great to hear from the people of New Jersey today at Bethany Baptist Church. They want their health care and utility costs lower, and the GOP to reopen our government.

My office is taking calls everyday about the effects of Trump’s shutdown and rising health care costs. We have to fight for these New Jerseyans.

I am proud to stand up for New Jerseyans facing rising costs in the Senate, but the Republicans in the House are refusing to even show up. We have to come together to lower health care costs for the American people.

Listen to what this Republican mother had to say to Speaker Johnson this morning. If he's not willing to listen to us, I hope he'll listen to the American people. Families are hurting, and Republicans have the power to put a stop to it. We're at the table. We're waiting.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Some of Trump's most fervent supporters know that health care costs are out of control, and something must be done.

Jersey, did you know Trump is targeting our state? Delaying funding for the Hudson Tunnel Project, which is a vital part of the project to double rail capacity between New Jersey and New York City. Stopping these funds, is illegal and completely unacceptable.

I look forward to securing these grants with you AG Bondi, as you promised. New Jerseyans are depending on us both.

My office has asked the State Department to ensure that U.S. citizens and New Jerseyans from the Global Sumud Flotilla who were detained in Israel are provided consular services, treated with dignity, and released quickly.

Can you and your family afford to pay double or even triple the price for health insurance? Trump and Republicans have let the government shut down instead of lowering the cost for American families.

I’ve heard from many New Jerseyans how Trump and Senate Republicans' policies have made working families poorer and sicker. We have to come together to reopen the government and lower costs for Americans.

58 years ago, Thurgood Marshall made history joining the Supreme Court. We can still honor his legacy today.

Trump withholding federal funding for the Hudson Tunnels to punish his political opponents is a blatantly illegal action that threatens nearly one hundred thousand working class jobs, wastes taxpayers money, and damages the safety and economic wellbeing of our nation.

Eight years ago today, a shooter killed 60 people and injured 800 more at the Route 91 Harvest music festival in Las Vegas. Armed with 13 rifles equipped with bump stocks, the shooter was able to fire more than 1,000 rounds in 11 minutes, devastating the nation and shattering hundreds of families.

To everyone observing Yom Kippur, I wish you an easy and meaningful fast. May the year ahead bring peace, hope, and goodness. G’mar Chatimah Tovah.

Many Americans have uncertainty. We’re facing rising health insurance premiums, a chaotic president, and now a government shutdown. We must stand up for people across this country.

I’ve heard from New Jerseyans and Americans, they want us to fix this mess Trump and Republicans created. Democrats are ready to lower health care costs and reopen the government.

Trump admitted in the Oval Office he is shutting the government down. Democrats are ready to stop your health insurance costs from doubling.

There is one reason the government is shutting down: Republicans and Trump have refused to work with Democrats  to lower health care costs.

According to Trump who owns a government shutdown? The President.

Republicans and Trump have been pushing us towards a shutdown for months. Instead of coming together to lower health care costs for Americans, they chose politics and partisanship.

Trump was clear, if there is a shutdown it’s a black mark on his presidency. We can keep the government open and lower health care costs for working Americans, if he chooses to lead.

The government is going to shut down and your health insurance is going to go up–why don't we have a deal? Take it from Trump: The President of the United States has to get this done.

For 126 years the VFW has stood for America’s veterans and their families. Now veterans and the VFW are getting squeezed, and a Republican shutdown could make things even worse. I’m going to keep standing up for our veterans, their services and their jobs, no matter how tough or how long the fight.

North Carolina, Michigan, and countless others, when is enough, enough? When will we all demand better from each other, from our government? We must stop the hatred of each other, but we must also demand each of our elected officials do more.

The release of Congresswoman Sherrill’s personal information is a clear violation of privacy laws and an attempt by Trump’s allies to twist her military service for their own political agenda.

Republicans are raising your health care costs. Even a small reduction in coverage can mean huge cost increases for New Jerseyans.

Republicans are raising your health care costs. Even a small reduction in coverage can mean huge cost increases for New Jerseyans.

Donald Trump promised lower costs. Instead, his policies are hiking energy prices and squeezing working families. While billionaires and fossil fuel companies reap the rewards, Trump is dismantling clean energy projects while Americans are left paying more just to keep the lights on.

The shooting at an ICE facility in Dallas is an unacceptable act of violence. My heart is with the victims and their loved ones.

People can’t afford a 70% hike in their health insurance costs. They’re already barely scraping by as it is. That’s what we’re trying to solve. Meanwhile, he’s throwing a temper tantrum because we are using our leverage to get a deal to SAVE AMERICANS’ HEALTH CARE.

Health care prices are going to skyrocket this November because of President Trump. I’m not going to just lay down and take that.

Last week, Democrats voted for a bill that would keep the government open and restore health care funding for millions of Americans who rely on it. Republicans blocked that bill and left town. If the government shuts down, it's because they refused to negotiate.

Your Big Ugly Bill imposed the largest cuts to health care in U.S. history, including over $900 billion in Medicaid cuts. Rural hospitals are already shutting down and reducing services as a result. Tell Trump to stop hiding behind Truth Social and sit down with Democrats.

Wondering what’s on our “totally unserious” “radical wish list”? It’s affordable health care. God forbid!!

The closure of New Jersey PBS is a loss for all of us who live here. Their programming benefits all New Jerseyans young and old. I’ll continue to stand up to the attacks on public broadcasting and support local networks in Jersey and across the country.

L’Shanah Tovah to all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah and warm wishes for a peaceful, prosperous, and sweet year ahead. May this period of deep introspection and renewal remind us of our moral responsibility to one another and the greater good of humanity.

Trump and Republicans control the White House and both houses of Congress, any shut down will be due to their failure of leadership.

The Supreme Court has once again declined to stop Trump from bending the rule of law to its breaking point. Congress created independent agencies like the FTC to insulate them from political influence—including the firing of commissioners who don’t do as the president demands.

We are seeing a roll back of the freedom of speech, freedom of expression, and freedom of the press not just on late-night, but at all levels of society, we must stand united for our freedoms. That’s why announcing the NOPE Act to prevent presidents from using government to punish critics.

It was an honor to accept the John Lewis Good Trouble award. May we all take inspiration from the towering legacy of John Lewis, and work together to make the promise of freedom and justice real for all.

This Constitution Day I reaffirm my commitment to standing for “We the People” against Donald Trump and JD Vance’s continued attempts to trample on our founding principles.

We must stand up for working Americans who are hurting in Trump’s failed economy.

As I have said, I will not give away my vote to Trump to fund the government for nothing. A funding bill that continues to raise our costs, jeopardizes our health care, and hurts the people of my state does not have my support.

Kash Patel has made our country less safe. He has put fealty to Trump over his sworn oath to the constitution.

Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to recognize the remarkable history and indelible voice that the hispanic community has in New Jersey and across our nation. #HispanicHeritageMonth

The day before I spoke with Ms. Gonzalez, the Treasury Secretary went on national TV to say the economy is ‘doing great.’ It is—if you’re a billionaire. For millions of American families, life is more expensive and harder.

While Trump and Vance push prices higher, we’re now seeing increases in lay offs and job loss.

September 11th will forever be a day of sorrow and of resolve. We honor the lives lost, the heroes who rushed into danger, and the families who still carry grief. May we meet tragedy’s memory with unity, love, and an unshakable commitment to one another.

My heart goes out to Charlie Kirk’s family. Political violence is a crisis and a sign of democratic weakness. I condemn it in all forms. We all share responsibility to end it, protect democracy, and promote peace in our nation.
