Work stops TOMORROW on America’s most important infrastructure project if Trump doesn’t unfreeze the funding Congress appropriated. He has to unfreeze it, NOW!

Americans are being MURDERED IN THE STREET. ONCE AGAIN, I am not voting to send Trump’s ICE another penny!

Republicans are allowing federal agents to terrorize communities under the pretext of fraud. 

If you want to get serious about waste, fraud, and abuse — let’s start with President Trump and the harm he’s doing to our nation.

Americans are watching their power bills skyrocket. Meanwhile Trump has been illegally CANCELING new energy projects across the country, making the electricity affordability crisis even worse.

Happy Black History Month! From Harriet Tubman’s days threading the Underground Railroad through our state, to the rich cultural and civic heritage of the Black New Jerseyans of today, Black History has been a part of NJ history from day one.

Guess who the Acting IRS Commissioner and the Treasury Secretary are? Scott Bessent: one of Trump's favorite lackeys. If he helps the President plunder $10 BILLION from the IRS in this lawsuit, it would be one of the greatest heists of taxpayer money in American HISTORY.

Amazon dramatically overpaid for the rights to the Melania documentary and now they’re spending 10 times more for its promotion than they have on other high-profile documentaries. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/b...

“Just following orders” isn't a valid defense, Secretary Noem.

You will face accountability for the deaths that happened on your watch, whether we impeach you or “the president and Stephen” fire you—whichever comes first.

I led the effort to empower Medicare to negotiate lower Rx prices for seniors, but now Republicans are creating loopholes that allow some of the most lucrative drugs in the world to avoid negotiating lower prices for Americans.

Springsteen is once again showing the strength of his values in this dark moment for our country.
 
The Boss has it right: we must all condemn ICE's lawlessness and brutality, and remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis, because our democracy depends on it.
I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

If Kristi Noem won’t step down, I’ll help impeach her.

Kids have drowned and protesters have been shot dead on her watch. I’ve had enough.

Americans deserve competent leadership at DHS, and she’s given us nothing but chaos.
January 28, 2026 at 3:29 PM
Two Americans have been shot dead on the streets of Minneapolis and members of our New Jersey communities are being detained.

ICE and DHS are acting completely lawlessly, and what does Trump say?

“They’ve done a phenomenal job.”

There was a time when Republicans in Congress believed in the Constitution and in a basic moral obligation to speak when something was plainly wrong. They must join Democrats in speaking out now.
January 26, 2026 at 4:34 PM
Trump’s ICE executed a mother, and then a VA nurse, in broad daylight. Now his administration is pursuing an investigation of Renee Good’s widow and spreading slanderous lies about Alex Pretti.

Americans don’t want 50-year mortgages, the option to pay rent with credit, and lifetimes of debt.

Americans want housing that’s affordable. Congress must work to find real solutions for working families, instead of the band-aids that Trump’s America is giving them. www.cnbc.com/amp/2026/01/...

Only a tiny fraction of the Epstein Files have been released, even though the deadline to release ALL the files was a month ago.

The Trump Administration is breaking the law—and @HouseGOP “doesn’t give a rip.” What are they STILL trying to hide?

‘No longer in my hands’: How Hill Republicans stopped caring about DOJ releasing the Epstein files
On the one-month anniversary of the Justice Department missing the deadline to release all the Epstein materials in its possession, Republicans in Congress are largely shrugging their shoulders.

What is happening in Minnesota should terrify every American.

While we are still learning all the details of what happened today, NOBODY should fear being shot and killed at the hands of masked federal agents on our streets.

ICE’s lawlessness on our streets must end before more Americans die.
Breaking news: Federal agents shot another person in Minnesota on Saturday morning, Gov. Tim Walz said.

It was not immediately clear which federal agency was involved, and the condition of the victim was unknown. This story is developing.
Federal agents shoot another person in Minnesota, governor says
Police did not immediately respond to requests for comment about the incident, and Gov. Tim Walz provided few details.

One year in, and this is what the front page of a newspaper in Trump’s America looks like.

The lawlessness and cruelty must end.

DHS and ICE are out of control. That’s why just now, I voted against giving them more funding.
January 22, 2026 at 11:11 PM
Money you should be using to pay for your skyrocketing rent, utility bills, and groceries—or even save for a car, a down payment, or a vacation—is going up in smoke because of Trump's inflation and tariff tax hikes.
January 21, 2026 at 5:48 PM
Our NATO allies have been with America through thick and thin. Trump is thanking them with the ultimate betrayal—because he didn’t get a shiny gold toy he didn’t even deserve. 

@houserepublicans.bsky.social must join us to rein in this out-of-control President before it’s too late.

Delighted to be here in Newark for Governor Sherrill's swearing-in!

Our new governor has an impressive track record of delivering for Garden State families in the House of Representatives.

I applaud Governor Murphy’s decision to sign this critical bill on his final day in office which will ensure that Long Branch will not lose the hospital services its community depends on.

Ottawa has sought a thaw with Beijing as part of a larger effort to diversify trade as Trump threatens to use “economic force” to make Canada the 51st state.
