Hi Bluesky! I’m Congressman Donald Norcross, a union electrician from South Jersey who is a voice for workers in Congress. I believe the best social program is a good-paying job, and will always fight to put workers and their families first.

Not only has Donald Trump shut down the government, but he canceled over a billion dollars in federal projects that were going to help American families and create good-paying jobs right here at home. American workers shouldn’t have to pay for Trump’s failures.

Together, we remember the millions of people who were murdered during the Holocaust, work to educate future generations about the atrocities of the Holocaust, and promise to fight back against the rise in antisemitism.

I was honored to join local leaders and the Jewish Community Relations Council of Southern New Jersey for the “Hate Ends Now” exhibit in Cherry Hill.

I've hosted 111 town halls throughout my time in Congress because hearing directly from my constituents is what makes our democracy strong.

Congressman Donald Norcross @norcross.house.gov · 14h

Thank you to everyone who joined my Telephone Town Hall last night on the Republican government shutdown. I'm fighting to protect your healthcare and reopen the federal government.

Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva is ready to be sworn in, and the American people are ready for this shutdown to be over. Let's get back to work. It's time for Republicans to stop playing partisan games and do what they were elected to do: govern.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

Families are about to see their healthcare premiums rise while Republicans are on vacation. Enough excuses. It is time for Republicans to get back to Washington and do their job.

Federal workers didn't shut down the government, and they shouldn't pay the price. Trump's threat to block backpay for federal workers is wrong and illegal.

Labor Caucus @laborcaucus.house.gov · 1d

It’s outrageous that Trump & Vought continue to threaten the livelihoods of tens of thousands of dedicated federal workers during a government shutdown.

Two years ago, Hamas carried out a brutal terrorist attack on Israel. Families are still waiting for the safe return of their loved ones. We must continue to stand strong against terror and work until every hostage is home.

I’ll always fight to make sure every worker earns a fair day’s pay for a hard day’s work. That's why I joined @pressley.house.gov, @smith.senate.gov, and Rep. Fitzpatrick in introducing legislation to ensure that the backbone of our government won’t be punished for the chaos they didn’t cause.

Congressman Donald Norcross @norcross.house.gov · 2d

When the government shuts down, working people pay the price. Federal contract workers do essential jobs that keep our government running and our communities safe, and they shouldn’t lose a paycheck because of partisan gridlock.

There’s no excuse for delaying Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva’s swearing-in. The House has sworn in members during recess before. Speaker Johnson is clearly afraid of releasing the Epstein files. It is time the truth comes out and AZ07 gets its voice back in Congress. thehill.com/homenews/hou...

Republicans refuse to swear in newly elected Democrat, delaying success of Epstein petition

Six days into this shutdown. Families are hurting, thousands of paychecks are frozen, and now Trump wants to fire federal workers. It’s time for real leadership.

It was great to talk to families about how I'm fighting to lower their healthcare costs and end this Republican shutdown. Thank you to the families who shared their stories about how Republican cuts to healthcare are impacting them and why we must keep fighting to make healthcare more affordable.

Great to have First Lady Tammy Murphy in Camden this weekend! Events like the Camden Family Festival represent South Jersey's commitment to supporting kids, making resources accessible, and having fun at the same time!

1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, take action: schedule screenings, support research, and spread the word.

Republicans are canceling votes to extend their shutdown vacation. It’s time for Speaker Johnson to get back to work and deliver a budget that works for all Americans, not just billionaires.

Federal workers keep our federal agencies that handle Social Security, Medicare, veterans’ benefits, and so much more running. Trump’s plan to fire them during a shutdown is outrageous. I’m cosponsoring the SAFE Act to stop these attacks and defend working families.

What do these people have in common? They are all pretending to be inspirational leaders.

The Trump Admin’s plan to house undocumented immigrants at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst raises serious concerns.

@repherbconaway.bsky.social & I pressed for answers, but the response DoD sent us gave us none. We’re demanding an in-person briefing to ensure transparency & humane treatment.

Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives, but can't deliver a budget that works for American families? Seems like someone has forgotten the art of the deal.

The shutdown isn’t a game. Veterans, families, and communities are paying the price while Trump refuses to do his job.
