In New Jersey, the "Obamacare" health insurance marketplace is called Get Covered NJ.

If Congress lets tax breaks expire, the cost will double (or more) for millions - an estimated 45,000 just in #NJ07, Rep Tom Kean Jr's district!

Dems want to fix that - Republicans refused and shut the govt.

Rep Tom Kean Jr #NJ07 and other Trump Party members keep repeating the lie that Democrats are demanding using "taxpayer dollars for benefits for illegal migrants."

False! Democrats want to restore cuts to Medicaid and extend the ACA tax rebates. Those programs DO NOT cover undocumented immigrants!

Rep Tom Kean Jr #NJ07 and his GOP pals pretend ICE/CPB/etc are going after the "worst of the worst" criminal aliens.

In fact, Trump's goon squads are grabbing anyone who LOOKS like they MIGHT be from other countries - with legal status or not!

This is what #NJ07 Rep Tom Kean Jr and his MAGA/GOP pals are supporting and enabling:

Goon squads grabbing citizens who don't look white enough...

or happen to be in the way of them grabbing people who *might* be immigrants and *might or might not* have legal status.

Examples in this 🧵

Judd Legum @juddlegum.bsky.social · 2d

1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants.

The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.

How federal agents are terrorizing American citizens

Last week, hundreds of heavily armed federal agents descended on an apartment complex in Chicago, arriving in Black Hawk helicopters and moving trucks.

Burning to the ground? Insurrectionists all over?
Does Trump really expect people to believe these lies? Or does HE really believe them?

Each day that #NJ07 Rep Tom Kean Jr and his GOP pals in Congress enable this lunacy, they become more even responsible for the results.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 2d

Trump: Portland is burning to the ground—insurrectionists all over the place. The politicians are afraid for their lives. That’s the only reason they say there’s nothing happening.

The Republican Speaker sent the House home without trying to negotiate an end to the #RepublicanShutdown.

So is #NJ07 Rep Tom Kean Jr using the opportunity to meet and hear from constituents?

Nope. No public schedule, Just private meetings for photo ops, and bogus social-media posts. As always.

Senator Andy Kim @kim.senate.gov · 3d

It’s Day 4 of the government shutdown, your healthcare is on the line, and Speaker Johnson is keeping the House of Representatives at home again next week.

Shame on him.

Wow! Jack is asked how important he thinks Black and Hispanic voters are to his campaign. His answer? "Next question."

Seriously? This is how he regards New Jersey's largest minorities?

We need a governor for ALL the people of New Jersey. Vote for Mikie Sherrill! @mikiesherrill.bsky.social

Mikie Sherrill @mikiesherrill.bsky.social · 5d

I’ll answer the question directly: I take Black and Hispanic voters seriously. I’ve been listening across the state, and I’ll deliver on what families tell me they need: lower costs, safer communities, better schools, and real small business opportunity.

So Tom speaks up - and blames Democrats!

Kean on X: "Democrat leaders in New Jersey and New York need to stop playing senseless political games, which are threatening to result in real delays in construction."

He wants them to stop hiring minority & women contractors for the project?

Really Tom?

One NJ7 ❌️👑 @onenj7.bsky.social · 6d

Feds yank $$ for Hudson tunnel project, needed to improve NJ-NY rail service, because Trumpists don't like giving contracts to minority- and women-owned businesses.

Surely #NJ07 Rep Tom Kean Jr, noted supporter of rail commuters and the tunnel project, will speak up about this!

Right Tom? Tom...?

Jennie Coughlin @jenniecoughlin.bsky.social · 6d

In a statement, Sean Duffy, the transportation secretary, specifically mentioned the expansion of the Second Avenue subway line and the construction of new train tunnels under the Hudson River, a $16 billion project known as Gateway.
