Back to school shopping is getting harder for working families. Trump’s tariffs mean kids’ shoes and clothes alone cost nearly 40% more. Under Trump expenses are higher for parents and kids, while the ultra-rich get even more handouts and special treatment.

The administration should immediately restore Desiree Grace to her role as interim U.S. Attorney while it works to identify and nominate a permanent, qualified individual.
Trump's manipulation of the law to install his personal attorney, Alina Habba, as U.S. Attorney was clearly unlawful as the court recognized today. This legal limbo continues to thwart our prosecutors’ ability to tackle crime in every federal case across the state, putting public safety at risk.
From lunch boxes to crayons, families are paying more. School supplies cost 7.3% more than last year: index cards up 42%, notebooks 17%, binders 12%. Parents shouldn’t have to break the bank to get kids ready for school. Trump and Republicans’ failed economic policies are crushing working families.
Our democracy has endured nearly 250 years because people chose patriotism over politics.
We must make that choice again and stand up for our democracy.
Trump promised to bring prices down on day one. 200 days later, EVERYTHING is more expensive. Food, healthcare, energy...it's all going up.
This new report shows how Trump's Department of Justice has turned into a corrupt pay-for-play system that harms our economy and leaves Americans paying the price.
…and improve access to humanitarian aid and medical personnel and services in Gaza. Secretary Rubio must immediately reinstate the use of these temporary medical and humanitarian visas so we can save lives now and double down on the work needed to achieve a just and lasting peace in the region.
Throughout this conflict, my office has relied on crucial humanitarian tools like this one to save innocent lives, and I have worked closely with the State Department under both the Trump and Biden Administrations to evacuate individuals in critical need of medical care…
including seriously injured children and civilians who have been caught in the crossfire through no fault of their own— without this lifesaving recourse.
Donald Trump promised to secure a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel in his first week in office, and now Secretary Rubio is compounding this administration’s failure of leadership with a policy that leaves Gazans who qualify for temporary medical and humanitarian visas—
Trump is the type of deal-maker who ends up in bankruptcy (or six). The last thing Americans and Ukrainians need is another one of his bankrupt deals with Putin.
Donald Trump promised to lower costs for working families. He didn’t just break that promise, he betrayed it. While families struggle to afford groceries, he handed tax breaks to billionaires and big corporations.
Donald Trump sold out the American people.
We must stand up for our constitution and for each other.
For Trump, DC is just the beginning. This is a dangerous distraction. He will continue to push past the safeguards of our democracy because his economic policies are failing, public opinion is shifting away from him, and no matter how hard he tries, he will still be all over the Epstein files.
So today we must reject the lies, chaos, and cuts, and instead call back to Social Security’s founding and stand for this bedrock principle that if you work hard and pay your fair share, you should not go into poverty.
Instead of celebrating this vital and monumental program, Trump, Vance, and Musk have done everything they can to sabotage it, denying Americans what they have earned over the last 90 years.
Over 1.7 million people rely on Social Security in New Jersey alone. My constituents are frustrated with Trump’s attacks on this program and fearful of what could be cut next.
On its 90th birthday, Social Security deserves to be celebrated. It is the most successful anti-poverty program ever, but Donald Trump and JD Vance are marking the anniversary by trying to pull the plug on a system every American pays into.
Trump doesn't care about the rule of law, and he doesn't care about D.C. This insulting stunt and abuse of power is all a distraction from his corruption and incompetence.
