What I saw today in Newark is a scene I never imagined experiencing in my lifetime. But I refuse to believe today reflects who we are as a country. We must all commit to correcting the course our country is on. Standing side by side, I know we can achieve those better tomorrows - together.

7️⃣ Throughout our country’s history we have shown time and time again that there is no challenge we cannot meet when we join together.

Standing shoulder-to-shoulder we can bend the arc of the moral universe toward justice.

6️⃣ Whether it’s threats against our judiciary, militarizing our cities or restricting free and fair elections, we have to raise our collective voice.

Not as Democrats or Republicans but as Americans.

5️⃣ We cannot be silent in this moment.

We all must have a red line of what we will not accept when the Trump Administration overreaches and seeks to consolidate power.

4️⃣ That’s why her Nobel recognition is a call to action. In the United States, we must protect our own democracy just as fiercely.

We cannot allow what we have and have built over 249 years to slip away.

3️⃣ Their courage is a reminder to all of us: democracy is never guaranteed.

It survives only when people are willing to speak out and defend it every single day.

2️⃣ María Corina Machado and other brave Venezuelans have stood tall, refusing to give up on the promise of freedom and fighting for what they once had.

1️⃣ Once a healthy and thriving democracy, Venezuela has endured a steady erosion of its democratic institutions under authoritarian rule.

Congratulations to María Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.

Six months ago, our community was shaken by a tragic helicopter crash on the Hudson that claimed six lives.

Since then, we’ve taken an all-hands approach with our local, county and state partners to find solutions that put the safety of our Hudson county communities first.

Ever wonder why Republicans don’t hold town halls? 🤔
