REMINDER: Congress holds the power of the purse. Something House Republicans have willfully failed to stand up for against this Administration.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social are committed to ensuring that federal funds are delivered back to our communities to benefit all of our constituents.
Families across the country are struggling with higher costs while this Administration is making the situation worse not just for families but for businesses as well.
Democrats have been & remain ready to lower costs. It's time House Republicans showed some independence & joined us.
The solution to our energy demands should be simple & bipartisan: we need an all-of-the-above strategy, wind & solar included, so we can strengthen our power infrastructure & secure a stronger future for all of us. That’s what we will keep fighting for.
With the Trump Admin, you have to ask if they are focused on good policy or settling old scores.
As higher bills strain working families, investing in our water system will improve customer service and reduce expenses when taxpayers turn on the tap. Excited to see this project moving forward!
Proud to have worked with @booker.senate.gov to secure over $3.6 million in federal funding for vital water infrastructure upgrades in Hoboken.
If the Trump Admin & House Republicans think no one is going to call them out on their hypocrisy, they are wrong.
Whether it’s on energy, healthcare, or the environment, we are going to hold them accountable when they fail the American people.

Had an important conversation with CHOP about their vital work advancing children’s health research and innovation.
As Republicans slash healthcare, it’s critical to uplift our doctors, nurses, and hospitals on the frontlines—and support their plans to increase patient access.

This Suicide Prevention Week let's remember every life is precious and everyone's story matters.
We must continue fighting to break the stigma around mental health, raise awareness, and ensure that we all have the support we need.
Weaponizing our data does NOT make us safer, it endangers everyone, regardless of where you were born.
Healthcare & housing should be sources of stability, not tools to create fear or division.
That’s why my colleagues & I introduced legislation to prevent HUD, HHS, & CMS from sharing data with immigration enforcement officials.
At a time when costs are skyrocketing, it’s more vital than ever that we work together to deliver real solutions and make life more affordable for New Jersey families.
Spent tonight shoulder-to-shoulder with friends and neighbors, honoring the over 700 New Jerseyans we lost 24 years ago today.
Today and every day, I'm grateful for our community and all those who work to keep us safe.
#NeverForget
The bravery of the first responders who answered the call that day and in the weeks following, and the resiliency of our nation in our darkest moment, are reminders of what is possible if we are united.
We haven't forgotten. And we will never forget.
24 years ago, 9/11 changed our nation forever.
Today and every day, we honor the memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice—American heroes.
Her parents have turned their grief into advocacy to prevent future tragedies—and I’m proud to honor her life by introducing legislation to strengthen caffeine labeling.
Consumers deserve to know what’s in their food and drinks. It’s time to update our regulations and protect public health.
