In 2022, Congress enacted the PACT Act to support veterans exposed to toxic burn pits—yet they left civilian law enforcement behind. I am marking #PoliceWeek by introducing the Kenya Merritt Renewing our PACT Act to ensure these workers can finally access treatment.

I visited Delaney Hall with @menendez.house.gov to see the inhumane conditions of ICE detention facilities. The treatment at Delaney Hall is cruel, and meant to destroy people’s spirits. This is unAmerican and it must change. gothamist.com/news/conditi...

Inflation is out of control from Trump’s Iran war. Now inflation is rising faster than wages. Working families are struggling to afford health care and gas bills. Trump is BUILDING A BALLROOM, and painting the reflecting pool blue? Outrageous. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

Happy Mother’s Day to all our beautiful, brave, and loving mothers in New Jersey and across America! 💜

It’s for FIFA to stop this chaos. @frankpallone.govpeeps.us and I are deeply concerned by reports that FIFA is employing opaque pricing, shifting rules, and potentially deceptive practices that are making it difficult for fans to access seats. Read more:

Teachers deserve more! This week, I'm showing appreciation for all that they do and standing up for fair compensation and support. Thank you to all our teachers!

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month! Let's celebrate the rich history, achievements, and contributions of the AAPI community across North Jersey and beyond! 🩵

Happy International Worker’s Day! Today we honor and renew our commitment to dignity, rights, fair treatment, and compensation for all workers! Your fight is our fight. 💪🤝

May is Jewish American Heritage Month! This month, we celebrate the rich history, sacrifices, and contributions of our vibrant Jewish American community. Let's honor their resilience and diversity while standing strong against antisemitism and all forms of hate. 🤍💙

No masked agents. Plain and simple.

This week nurses are on Capitol Hill talking about worker safety, emergency services, insurance shortfalls, and much more. Our nurses are the heartbeat of our country and need our constant support. My door is always open to our health care heroes. 🩺🩻⚕️🚒

Men and women who stood shoulder to shoulder with our troops should not be left behind when they come home sick. I am proud to introduce the Bipartisan Renewing Our PACT Act to fix a gap for civilians exposed to cancer-causing burn pits.

The World Cup's $11 billion profit estimate for FIFA means they can spare train ticket subsidies for fans. Read our letter for details. @menendez.house.gov @repdangoldman.bsky.social

Happy Earth Day! Now more than ever—we must commit to leaving the planet greener, healthier, and better for the next generation. 🌎💚

It was great to kickstart the day at the New Jersey Building and Construction Trade Breakfast in D.C. Our tradesmen and women are building the future of this country every day—and need our support more than ever. Thank you for having me and see you soon! 🤝💪

This country made a promise to Dreamers—this administration is now breaking it.

Ever since I asked ICE boss Todd Lyons about ICE’s role at the World Cup, I’ve heard from residents, fans, and people across the US who are worried about the games. They’re worried about being priced out. They’re worried about their safety. Yet we still don’t have clear answers.

I voted YES on the War Powers Resolution. Trump’s war has gone on too long, already taking the lives of our brave men and women in uniform. Choosing between Donald Trump and America, House Republicans today once again picked Trump.

In remembrance of the Holocaust, may the light illuminate our way forward, and the flames pay tribute to the memories of those lost but never forgotten. 🤍

This isn’t the Club World Cup: since last summer the world has seen the brutality of Trump’s ICE raids. I am glad FIFA is taking this seriously but we need certainty. ICE raids at stadiums would only cause chaos and confusion. The games start in 59 days. ⏱️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/719...

Happy Vaisakhi! Wishing everyone celebrating across North Jersey and beyond a vibrant Vaisakhi filled with joy, prosperity, and unity! 💜

Massive congratulations to the admitted nominees for the United States Service Academies! Your service is truly commendable and makes our nation shine. 🇺🇸 Thanks for representing our district with honor!

Americans deserve a Congress they can trust. Our behavior as lawmakers must be above reproach. At a minimum, it is clear that Reps. Swalwell and Gonzalez have betrayed their constituents, staff, and their oath of office. (1/2)

Our state and nation are strong thanks to our labor unions who build it every day. Today I had the opportunity to meet with labor leaders to discuss the challenges they are facing, listen to their concerns, and the work ahead. A strong Jersey is union built! 💪

Yesterday I met with the Meadowlands Chamber of Commerce to discuss the flag city celebrations! 🤝

📍 East Rutherford | Huge win for Jersey! Today I joined Bergen County Sheriff Anthony Cureton and law enforcement officers to celebrate securing $1,031,000 for World Cup security efforts. 67 days to go, let’s make it happen 💪🤝

The dangers of federal overreach regarding elections—both in New Jersey and across the country—are not just theoretical. They are immediate and real. Today our NJ democratic delegation is leading calls to stop this baseless attack and for the USPS to protect our democracy. Read more:

I’m relieved that the two American pilots are safe after such a dangerous situation. I’m deeply grateful for the courage and dedication of the men and women who helped bring them home. 🇺🇸

Sending love, joy, and Happy Easter wishes to all those celebrating in North Jersey! 🐣 ¡Felices Pascuas!

Chag Pesach Sameach to all celebrating in New Jersey and beyond!

📍 Secaucus | Today I joined Mayor Michael Gonnelli and local leaders to announce that my office secured $250,000 in federal money to help build a new youth sports gym at the Secaucus Recreation Center. This is about more than a building. It’s about giving our kids a place to grow.

As the Supreme Court considers Trump’s scheme to end birthright citizenship, we must remember: being “American” is a right guaranteed by our Constitution and defended in the battlefield by countless sons and daughters of immigrants. America’s soul is not Donald Trump’s to bend.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Today we recognize the contributions of our brave trans community—and reaffirm our commitment to equality, justice, and uplifting trans voices. I am here to stand with you and support your safety and happiness. 🤍🩵🩷

Good luck to entire Artemis II team! Last week, I had the honor of hosting the scientists, engineers and New Jerseyans working tirelessly to make this mission a success. Thank you for your contributions to science and inspiring a generation of young people! 🚀

On #EqualPayDay we mark the extra work women have to do everyday to bridge the wage gap.   This year, the gender pay gap has widened for the second year in a row. For every $1 earned by men, women earn 76 cents.

Michael Flynn is a convicted felon who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. This isn’t justice—it’s a rigged system where Trump’s allies cash in and you pay. $1.25 MILLION of TAXPAYER MONEY. No one is above the law… unless you’re close to Trump.

Americans already distrust ICE—and Trump’s latest move hasn’t done anything to ease the long lines; it has just added stress and anxiety for travelers worried about their safety. Fund TSA. Get ICE out of our streets and airports.

We all want safe and secured elections but the SAVE Act goes a step further that could have real impacts on many Americans, especially married women, transgender people and military personnel. Read more:

Game day just got a whole lot better! Huge win for North Jersey with the resources and money that our law enforcement need to protect our fans and teams.⚽️🤝

Wishing a blessed Eid to all celebrating across North Jersey and beyond!

With less than 90 days until kickoff, the World Cup should bring the world together and not leave people wondering if ICE will be waiting outside stadiums. We want law enforcement to focus on security for the games, not meeting POTUS’s civil immigration quotas. www.nytimes.com/athletic/713...

🚨 FEMA just released $625 Million in World Cup security funding—47 days after it was due. 🚨 Kristi Noem said they couldn’t release the funding because of the shutdown; that was another lie. ❌ Now we can turn the page and focus on a successful and SAFE World Cup.

Working families are struggling to afford basic necessities yet this administration’s priorities remain elsewhere…

Although it took six years and Republicans ended up placing it out of sight in the basement, I hope this plaque honoring our law enforcement officers who courageously protected the Capitol on January 6, will stand as a lasting reminder of our nation’s commitment to democracy.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day, Jersey! May the luck of the Irish chase you down as you chase your rainbows! 🌈 ☘️

Leqaa Kordia will be home to spend Eid with her family in Paterson. Leqaa, your strength and courage is admirable—but make no mistake, this should have never happened. My full statement on Leqaa’s release:

Working families don’t have a few weeks. gas prices are through the roof because of Trump’s illegal war—and Americans are paying the price. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Hidaia is right. Leqaa should be back home in Paterson. The Trump Administration must do the right thing and follow the court’s order and release her.

My heart is with the loved ones of the six service members killed in today’s refueling plane crash in Iraq. This is an unspeakable tragedy and I am thinking of all of our service members in harms way.

The new Portal North Bridge is open! Starting this Monday, trains out of New York City will travel over this new bridge. As big and special as this bridge is, it is also an appetizer. The main course for our state is the Gateway Tunnel!
