Latest cuts are to agencies that set safety standards for food and drugs, track disease outbreaks, fund health research, oversee Medicare and Medicaid.

Hey Tom! You think that's wasteful spending?

Asked in his #NJ07 "tele-town hall" Wed. if he supports *all* Trump admin deportation actions, Rep Tom Kean Jr said he does.

Like this, Tom? Tufts grad student grabbed off the street & locked up? Her visa revoked because of an OpEd she wrote that criticized Israel?

For those wondering: Rep. Tom Kean Jr.'s idea of a #NJ07 "town hall" was a telephone conference call where a moderator who had taken people's questions read 12 of them, and Tom gave his stock answers. No back-and-forth, no follow-up, no other voices heard.

Does #NJ07 Rep. Tom Kean Jr. have anything to say about top US NatSec officials illegally using the Signal chat app, instead of proper secure channels, to discuss war plans?

Hey Tom - Will you and your House GOP buddies call for resignations? Or just sit quiet as usual?

Speak up, Tom!

Something I haven't seen covered extensively with regards to the Department of Education is the fact that the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) funds early intervention services, along with Medicaid. EI is usually free, or very low cost for families.

Tom Kean Jr schedules a telephone "town hall" - the 1st time he'll take questions from #NJ07 constituents since his 2nd term began almost 4 months ago.

Will he explain why he's cool with Trump-Musk-GOP attacking SSA, VA, EPA, USPS, other vital agencies - and our allies?

Only one way to find out!

While Congressman Tom Kean Junior remains silent about Trump taking Putin's side in Ukraine:
Every time I think surely *this* will get Tom Kean Jr to finally stand up to Trump and his party I’ve been disappointed.

Not a word from Chair of Foreign Relations Sub-cmt on Europe about the Oval Office meeting. Elect a spineless representative and expect silence.
