Hurricane Erin wiped out half the sand in Monmouth Beach and left Shore towns scrambling to rebuild ramps and dunes before Labor Day. This is why the gutting of Army Corps beach funding by Republicans is so dangerous—slashing it from $200 Million to just $60 Million (a 70% (cont in image...)

Read this op-ed by a Republican mom who doesn't pull any punches. Medicaid keeps her disabled 4-year-old son, David, alive—covering his surgeries, therapies, adaptive equipment, medical supplies, respite care, and even letting her be paid to care for him at home. Trump & (cont in image...)

If your administration really cared about making our cities safer, they wouldn't have proposed cutting funding for police officers and first responder training in communities across the country. You're all bark and absolutely no bite. Quoting Vice President JD Vance

Trump is only letting UCLA restart lifesaving research if they pony up $1 billion for the administration. It's the latest episode in this administration's attempts to extort our nation's universities for political gain. Not only is it highway robbery from students and faculty, (cont in image...)

It’s almost time to head back to school, and New Jersey families are feeling the burden of Trump’s tariff taxes as they purchase new supplies. Combined with cuts to school meals and to the Department of Education, it’s clear the Trump administration wants to set American (cont in image...)

Alina Habba's appointment as U.S. Attorney by President Trump flew in the face of precedent and was carried out with no regard to the separation of powers that forms the foundation of our democracy. Today's ruling confirms what we all know—the president is not a king, and he (cont in reply...)

In exchange for making sure @fcc approved the Skydance/Paramount merger, Trump was offered up to $20 million in free advertising and a host of dangerous editorial concessions — including a promise to “root out” perceived bias. This is a bribe by any other name, and today (cont in image...)

Once again, President Trump is terrorizing our communities and raiding places of work. Trump keeps suggesting that he is only arresting or deporting hardened criminals and gangsters. Yesterday’s raid in Edison is more proof his administration will stretch the law without a (cont in image...)

Congress passed a law to force the sale of TikTok to an American company because China controls users’ data, including 170 Million Americans, and can weaponize it. Trump refuses to enforce it – breaking U.S. law and inviting a national security threat into our phones. All of (cont in image...)

Remember when Republicans claimed to be against Big Government? Well, Trump wants a standing army of National Guard troops on one-hour notice to drop into our communities and the party of federalism seems awfully quiet about a full-scale military takeover of our streets. (cont in image...)

Trump can’t just rewrite the law to keep his political pick in power. Congress set a 120-day limit on interim U.S. Attorneys for a reason — to stop exactly this kind of end-run around the Senate and the courts. I joined a bipartisan brief to defend that law and the separation of (cont in reply...)

Trump’s Secretary of Defense – confirmed with votes from women in the US senate, mind you – has shared outrageous content calling to repeal the 19th Amendment. I wish I was shocked. But, of course, these rightwing zealots want to take away women’s right to vote, when you can’t (cont in reply...)

Trump isn't even trying to hide his corruption anymore. Corporate and foreign leaders are taking note and showering him with gold iPhones, private jets, and other lavish gifts to curry favor. We can't turn a blind eye to Trump taking these illegal bribes, even if it's (cont in image...)

Thank you to my district office interns in Long Branch and New Brunswick for your work supporting the constituents of NJ-06. Your determination and dedication to public service does not go unnoticed. I wish you all the best with the upcoming fall semester!

Good to see the Indian Embassy expanding its services by opening an application center in Edison, the heart of Central Jersey's strong and vibrant Indian community.

Trump’s stall tactics on TikTok must end.   The app is a national security threat so long as it remains under China's control and collects massive amounts of info on Americans every day.   American companies want to buy TikTok, it’s time for Trump to make it happen. Quoting The New York Times

Enjoyed this bright afternoon hearing the drums of the pipe band at the India Day Parade in Edison and Iselin. The parade celebrates India’s independence and the contributions the Indian American community has made to New Jersey.

Under Trump, the Oval Office is now a golden gift shop. To get special treatment, all Big Tech CEOs have to do is bring lavish gifts and flowery praise. It’s corruption in plain sight. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/08/08/trump-tech-ceos-flattery-gifts/

We all know that Springsteen is a great poet. Bruce's music and lyrics have a lesson for all of us. He inspires us to dream, move forward, and want the best from life. He's as American as it gets. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/07/opinion/bruce-springsteen-music-poetry.html

Talked with EPA representatives today about the need for more funding of Superfund cleanups at Old Bridge Saltwater Day in Laurence Harbor.

This money was intended for our constituents to help lower energy bills — clawing it back isn’t just illegal, it’s a betrayal of working families. Make no mistake: if this Administration is successful here, energy bills will needlessly soar for families across the country, and (cont in image...)

Donald Trump and the Republicans in Congress are launching a full-scale war on a women’s reproductive rights. It started with reversing Roe v. Wade, and now they are implementing a nation-wide backdoor abortion ban by defunding Planned Parenthood. Thank you @RepSherrill for (cont in image...)

Trump's One Big Ugly Bill will cut more than 662,000 good-paying jobs, while slashing over $565 billion in clean energy investments - most of that is actually in red districts! Republicans turned their back on their constituents and climate action so that they could give a (cont in image...)

It was great to speak at the the NJ State Council of Machinists' Annual Conference in Atlantic City today. I spoke about why we need to continue to support unions, especially as Republicans threaten to roll back wins that organized labor fought for decades to secure.

Trump is not just attacking Ivy League institutions like Harvard and Columbia. He is launching a full-scale war against higher education across the board, including community colleges.   These attacks will harm students, kill jobs, and devastate our economy.

Could you imagine being this petty? Trump didn't like the fact that his policies are killing jobs and crippling the economy so what does he do? He fires the official who reported the jobs data and now he's reorganizing BLS to guarantee that they provide misinformation to the (cont in image...)

The Federal Communications Commission is one of America’s most important government agencies and it’s being run by a Trump hack to extort media outlets that criticize Donald Trump. Will he target South Park next? Stay tuned. Quoting Aaron Rupar

The downshift in the economy since Trump became president will only get worse as market confidence deteriorates and Trump’s erratic behavior and attacks on legitimate government data continue.

The Census is a cornerstone of our American government and society. It is not a weapon to take away your rights and give extra congressional seats to red states.

Trump promised to lower the cost of living on day one. That was a lie and his policies are doing the opposite and raising prices everywhere.

Job numbers are down based on a new Labor Department report, but instead of changing his economy-crushing policies, Trump fired the Labor Department official responsible for the truthful data.

Our non-political military is a foundation of America. That Trump wants to put maga hats on our generals to carry out his agenda should disturb, disgust and enrage every freedom-loving American. Quoting Greg Jaffe

Why is the Deputy Attorney General of the United States holding secret talks with Jeffrey Epstein’s disgraced felon accomplice? That he’s Trump’s former personal lawyer must be a coincidence. 🤔

Texas Republicans are trying to rig the House map..again. Under the constitution, Redistricting is supposed to happen every 10 years. Now they want to do it every 2? That’s un-American, and exactly how Trump plans to steal the House.

Over a week ago, a bipartisan House subcommittee voted to subpoena the DOJ for the full Epstein files. But the subpoena can’t be issued until Republican Oversight Chair James Comer signs it --- and he still hasn’t. What’s he waiting for? Trump’s approval?

Donald Trump has been found civilly liable for rape. A Jeffrey Epstein survivor testified she met Trump at Mar-a-Lago when she was 14 and later competed in Miss Teen USA, a pageant Trump owned. Now Ghislaine Maxwell is talking to Trump’s DOJ about immunity. Connect the dots.

Trump’s team cut $158 million from programs that help stop shootings…things like conflict mediation and getting people help before they pick up a gun. That was in April. This week, four people were killed in Midtown Manhattan, including a cop. You don’t get to slash prevention (cont in image...)
