On my visit to NJ last week, I asked a few federal workers to meet me at a local diner. I wanted to hear how this government shutdown is impacting them.
Diner Talk Part 2: full conversation coming soon.

I cherished every day I got to call myself a Soldier—but ordering troops to intimidate the very Americans they sacrifice to protect doesn’t make us safer.
Trump is wasting millions to terrorize citizens exercising their First Amendment rights. It's wrong.
The Trump Admin’s assault on federal workers is nothing new. They have no regard for the public servants who are currently going without pay because of the shutdown they continue to prolong.
I spoke with federal workers in New Jersey. They see the lawlessness and are asking me to hold the line.
Mob Boss Politics 101: Deploying the National Guard to yet another an American city and then threatening to jail your political opponents.
This isn’t keeping us safe. We have to reject Trump’s mob boss tactics of threats and intimidation.
It’s Day 8 of the government shutdown and Republicans in the House are still MIA.
Every day that goes by is a day that we could be working together to solve the affordability and healthcare crisis in this country.
It’s time Speaker Johnson get serious about doing his job.
Republicans control the White House, the Senate, and the House of Representatives.
This is their shutdown and they have the power to come back to the table, work to lower healthcare costs, and deliver for their constituents.
The entire nation is talking about skyrocketing healthcare costs – and for good reason.
In this shutdown, we're holding the line against the Trump Administration's lawlessness to fight for a country we can all afford.
Trump isn't just holding your taxpayer dollars hostage in this government shutdown, he's holding federal workers' paychecks hostage, too. Threatening to not compensate them after this shutdown is completely ridiculous.
We must guarantee back pay for federal workers.
Read his own words. Donald Trump is a mob boss who directed one of his henchmen, AG Pam Bondi, to go after his political opponents. It's corruption. Plain as day.
Conversations about the government shutdown are happening all over the country, in workplaces, around kitchen tables, and at New Jersey diners.
That's why I left the Capitol to drive home to NJ: to talk with the people at the core of this fight for a safer and healthier America.
My statement reflecting on the two year anniversary of Hamas's horrific terrorist attack on October 7, 2023.
Absolutely ridiculous.
We must guarantee back pay after this shutdown that Trump and Republicans led us into.
Our federal workers rely on their paychecks to pay rent, support their families, and feed their kids, just like the rest of us. They deserve better.
Shame on Speaker Johnson for giving House Republicans a paid vacation while our military troops and public servants go without pay.
This government shutdown won’t end unless Speaker Johnson is willing to come back to work.
Our country has been hijacked by mob bosses who use corruption, extortion, and intimidation to instill fear and submission into all of us.
When we reopen the government, we must fight to make sure it’s working for you, not the mob bosses in power.
My statement on Secretary Duffy’s stunt press conference earlier today at Newark International Airport.
It’s time Republicans showed up, sat down, and did their jobs.
Donald Trump and Republicans’ mob boss politics are standing in the way of Americans being able to get the healthcare that they need.
I care about delivering for my constituents, and that’s what this fight is about.
Last week, Cindy, Theresa, and Shannon shared with me their thoughts about the government shutdown and the need to take a stand.
Full conversation out tomorrow.
Thank you to everyone who has shared their story. If you have a story you want to share, write to me at andy@kim.senate.gov and together, we’ll shine a light on who gets screwed over in this shutdown. 6/6
And Letitia in Camden said “every choice feels like a sacrifice and the stress is constant.” 5/6
William from Ocean City wrote about the struggle of managing the family budget amidst rising costs as a retired couple. 4/6
