L’Shana Tova! Wishing everyone celebrating in New Jersey and around the world a sweet new year! May 5786 be a year of health, joy, and community!

This is good news, but the FCC Inspector General must still investigate Chair Carr’s attempts to censor broadcasters. Carr’s actions are illegal and unconstitutional, and he must be held accountable.

Trump says he wants to “end the weaponization of the Federal Government” unless he's the one doing the weaponizing.

I was on @meidastouch.com with @meiselasb.bsky.social last week to discuss threats from RFK, Jr. and the Trump administration to our public health.

Learned a lot more about Sayreville’s brick manufacturing at the Sayreville Historical Society booth at today’s Sayreville Day celebrations.

Two rising authoritarians rubbing shoulders. Trump needs to hold Erdogan accountable for his dismantling of Turkish democracy, but instead, he's sticking to what he knows best: rolling out the red carpet for yet another dictator.

Listened to all kinds of great music at the St. James Street Fair in Woodbridge today.

Aberdeen Day is a huge community gathering. Great weather, and lots of fun for the whole family.

The devil will be in the details.   We cannot allow China continued access to massive amounts of Americans’ personal data, and we cannot allow Trump to hand TikTok over to his tech bro buddies and turn it into a MAGA mouthpiece.   Period.

RFK Jr.’s vaccine advisory panel continues to put American lives at risk.   Their decision on the COVID-19 vaccine creates distrust and confusion. That’s exactly what RFK Jr. wants, and his actions are taking away people’s choice to access these lifesaving vaccines.

I’m calling for an IG investigation into Brendan Carr’s censorship campaign & illegal efforts to get Jimmy Kimmel off the air. The government cannot threaten to punish broadcasters just because it doesn’t like what they’re airing. That is censorship. And it's unconstitutional.

RFK Jr.’s handpicked advisory panel’s action on MMRV threatens the lives of children under the age of 4. Children will die as a result of this action. It’s time Trump do the right thing and fire Kennedy before more lives are lost.

Republicans have spent this entire year taking health care away from millions of Americans. I’m opposed to their partisan government funding bill because it does nothing to address the health care crisis they created.

The Trump Administration CANNOT threaten to punish broadcasters just because it doesn't like what's being said. FCC Chair Brendan Carr must resign.

House Republicans are wasting floor time this week on three energy bills that double down on their Big Ugly Bill.   That new law raises electricity bills, increases the risk of blackouts, and worsens air pollution – and today's bills are just more of the same.

Today I’m introducing legislation to guarantee your health insurance continues to offer vaccines for free. My bill will stop RFK, Jr.'s efforts to take away and make it more difficult to get routine vaccines against preventable diseases like measles, covid, and hepatitis.

Trump has turned the White House into his personal cash register. The sheer corruption is galling.

Trump is killing the First Amendment. His supporters claim to cherish “free speech,” yet punish anyone who challenges them. If a person you agree with has the right to speak, doesn’t everyone else? That freedom is the heart of America.

Either you're for the first amendment, or you're not.

My AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act just passed through the Energy and Commerce Committee—and is one step closer to becoming the law of the land!

The @energycommerce.bsky.social Committee is voting on my bipartisan bill to ensure all cars sold in the U.S. come with AM radios, which are essential for communication during emergencies.

Stood in solemn remembrance of the victims of Azerbaijan's genocide of the Armenian population of Nagorno-Karabakh. We must hold Azerbaijan accountable and make sure the world never forgets its crimes.

Instead of working with Democrats on meaningful permitting reform, Republicans are pushing bills that tear apart the Clean Air Act and allow polluters to poison the air we breathe. The Republicans’ agenda is designed to serve their corporate special interest friends—not hardworking Americans.

Republicans are back on their ridiculous anti-energy efficiency crusade.

Imagine being so close to winning a race, only to have your coach hit you in the kneecaps. That’s what Trump just did to our cancer research.  Years of hard work, future breakthroughs, and potential lives saved have all been derailed because of his reckless cuts to the NIH.

Ending this program would blindfold the American people by allowing polluters to spew unknown amounts of climate pollution in secret. This is just another reckless gift to Trump’s corporate polluter cronies.

September is National Suicide Prevention Month. Check in with your loved ones and help us break the stigma around mental health. This month and every month, we must remember that reaching out shows strength, and that no reason is too big or small to ask for help.

If you’re considering applying to a U.S. Service Academy, join me at my 15th Annual U.S. Service Academy Day on Saturday, October 11 at Middlesex College in Edison!

Highland Park Arts in the Park with Mayor Elsie Foster and Councilman Matt Hersh.

MAGA = Make America Groggy Again

Thank you to Governor Murphy for standing up for protecting our health care and making sure New Jerseyans can get vaccinated.

Too often, a mental health emergency ends in tragedy. In partnership with law enforcement, more must be done to ensure our neighbors in crisis get the help they need.

Azerbaijan’s continued detention of democracy activist Gubad Ibadoghlu shows Aliyev’s utter contempt for human rights and the rule of law.

Trump's existing tariffs are set to cost you $2400 per year, MINIMUM. He's pushing that number into the stratosphere—and doesn't care if you're hurt as a result.

Republicans voted to give tax breaks to billionaires and corporations by taking health care away from 15 million Americans.   Today I’m joining Rep. Adam Gray to introduce legislation to reverse those cuts and lower monthly health insurance premiums for American families.

Secretary Kennedy is using his position to promote an anti-vaccine agenda and make it harder for families to get vaccines—putting us all in danger.   Enough is enough, I’m demanding answers over the abrupt firing of the CDC Director and access to lifesaving vaccines.

24 years later, we remember the thousands lost on 9/11, including nearly 750 New Jerseyans and the countless heroes who rushed in that day. The grief never leaves us, but neither does our duty. www.instagram.com/reel/DOdlhgw...

Meanwhile, Trump is dismantling FEMA.

I was shocked and appalled to hear the news of Charlie Kirk’s shooting today. We as a country cannot afford to normalize political violence and gun violence. American democracy is based upon the principle of peaceful, respectful disagreement.

Voting to advance important bills out of the Energy and Commerce Committee’s Health Subcommittee today to improve infant and maternal health across the country, including the Healthy Start Program and lifesaving newborn screening programs.

This week marks 24 years since the 9/11 attacks, and I’m still waiting for answers to the letter I sent in February after Trump’s HHS fired staff at the World Trade Center Health Program.

It’s our job to make sure first responders have the tools they need to do theirs.   But Republicans keep defunding CRITICAL public safety programs.

RFK, Jr. is totally unhinged. Trump should fire him.

Release the files.

I am about to join C-Span's Washington Journal tune in! www.c-span.org/event/washin...

If you don’t believe this is Donald Trump’s signature as Republicans are claiming, I have a bridge to sell you.

Honored to stand with ANCOR, who helped us put human faces on Republicans' disastrous Medicaid cuts this year. Their advocacy for disability rights is critical to our work towards achieving quality, affordable health care for every single American.

Climate denialism kills people and destroys communities. Trump and his energy secretary are responsible for what comes next.

In today's edition of Trump's stolen valor: he's trying to take credit for landmark infrastructure projects he not only opposed, but is actively trying to kill.
