Policy Soup stir the pot ALPHA

To Jeff Van Drew, Chris Smith, and Tom Kean Jr., it looks like tax cuts for billionaires on the backs of hardworking New Jerseyans. That’s not the public service I know. 3/3

To Republicans in Congress, “service” these days looks like taking away our health care, letting our kids go hungry, and threatening the lives of our loved ones. 2/3

As members of Congress, we are elected to serve the people who live in our states. To help them. To fight for them. To have the courage to do so even when those in power don’t want us to. That’s the job. 1/3

And, Tom Kean Jr. just voted to raise taxes on millions of New Jerseyans in order to give 3 of the richest people in NJ a tax cut. Make that make sense. 3/3

Chris Smith just gutted funding for food assistance that 360,000 kids in NJ rely on to not go hungry in order to give 3 of the richest people in NJ a tax cut. 2/3

New Jersey home to three billionaries on Forbes 400 list of richest people in US

Discover the secrets behind the success of New Jersey's top 3 billionaires and how they amassed their vast wealth.

It’s devastating to hear of the damage caused by the Texas floods and the lives that have been lost. The Trump Administration and Congress must be ready to support the people of Texas in disaster relief efforts to save lives and help people get back on their feet.

I don’t know anyone who thinks that the cause of our problems is the richest among us not having MORE money. Yet, Republicans voted to give MORE to the millionaires and billionaires and have us pay for it. It’s that simple.

That’s the truth. Share it. Spread it. I’ll continue to fight alongside NJ’s disability community for the care they deserve. 3/3

Even in a state like NJ where Democrats support those in need, the decision by Trump and Republicans like Tom Kean Jr. will put more strain on our taxpayers to make sure people don’t die because of a lack of coverage. 2/3

NJ disability groups get funding reprieve from state, but fear big Medicaid cuts in DC

The passage of Trump’s Big Disastrous Bill is a nightmare come true for millions of Americans who rely Medicaid, including people with disabilities. www.northjersey.com/story/news/2... 1/3

New Jersey disability programs were restored in the final state budget. But the community is bracing for Medicaid cuts.

By cutting billions of dollars in food assistance that children and families rely on to survive, Trump has shown that he has no regard for our lives, our liberties, or our happiness. Trump’s actions today are unpatriotic and inherently un-American. 3/3

By slashing funding for Medicaid that will strip millions of their health care, close hospitals and nursing homes, and make it harder for seniors and people with disabilities to get the lifesaving care they need, Trump has betrayed the American people. 2/3

On a day when families around the country are celebrating the rights and freedoms that our nation was founded on, Trump and Republicans in Congress have betrayed the American people and our founding principles of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. 1/3

…We owe the American people more than fireworks and political theatre on the anniversary of this country’s liberation from the same. We owe them all a government worthy of their pride.” 2/2

N.J. Congresswoman: America’s founding principles were betrayed with Trump’s cruel spending bill

Every word of this. Thank you, @repbonnie.bsky.social. “I am appalled at the cruelty on display during what should be a week of reflection, celebration, and recommitment of our nation’s pursuit of a more perfect union.” 1/2 www.nj.com/opinion/2025...
