I want to thank Union County for listening to our community and standing up for what’s right. By rejecting any plan to use the former Union County Jail for ICE or private immigration detention, they showed that we can uphold our values while responsibly managing public resources.
Every day I’m fighting against Trump’s harmful immigration policies. The results of which have already had dire consequences in our district. That’s why I’m moved to speak out against the potential harm of another private detention center opening in the 8th. Read my letter to Union County below 👇
Trump’s AI Action Plan & new executive orders are deeply troubling & undermine responsible AI innovation. My AI Caucus colleagues & I will keep fighting for policies that safeguard AI development & fully leverage the potential of AI for all Americans without giving a handout to Big Tech.
New: Congressional AI Caucus Democrats’ Statement on President Trump’s AI Action Plan and AI Executive Orders @dorismatsui.bsky.social @repbonamici.bsky.social @foushee.house.gov @hankjohnson.house.gov @mcbride.house.gov @repmcgovern.bsky.social @menendez.house.gov beyer.house.gov/news/documen...
Private detention centers don’t reflect the values of our district, our state, or our country. We’re pushing back against the Trump Admin’s plan to detain immigrants at Joint Base McGuire Dix-Lakehurst.
Trump lies. @housedemocrats.bsky.social deliver. We will always fight for all Americans and continue to offer a real path forward that delivers on America’s promise. 👊
Proud to see Hudson County launching the Blue Envelope program to help create safer, more supportive interactions between law enforcement and individuals with autism. Autism awareness must be part of everything we do—especially when it comes to public safety. 👏
Republicans have brought the House to a standstill, canceled votes, and won’t bring us back for weeks. Why? Because they don't want to vote on releasing the Epstein files. House Rs want to make it seem like everything is completely normal. It’s not, and we called them on it.
The Trump Administration officially ended dedicated LGBTQ+ services through 988 last week. To our friends and neighbors who are experiencing a mental health or substance-related crisis: you are not alone, and there are resources available to you.
SNAP and nutrition assistance programs keep food on the table and lifesaving care within reach for thousands of New Jersey families. @housedemocrats.bsky.social won’t stand by while Republicans continue to wage a war on working families and their dignity.
Republicans rolled back ACA support while also cutting Medicaid—& millions of Americans will feel the impact soon. In NJ-08, the average ACA premium increase will be $1,210 next year—forcing families to make impossible choices about their health care. This isn’t just politics, it’s people’s lives.
I’m signing on to Rep. Golden’s effort to force a vote on legislation to protect collective bargaining for federal employees. Republicans must choose: stand with working people or those who continue to silence them. I’ll always stand with the workers who serve this country every day. 👊
That's why I’m proud to cosponsor bipartisan legislation that accelerates innovation of PFAS-free turnout gear and strengthens the safety of those who keep our communities safe.
We went BTS two weeks ago to highlight Leader Jeffries' historic speech and @housedemocrats.bsky.social fight to try and stop the Republicans’ terrible, no-good sh*t bill. The Republican chaos has only continued since then, but we aren’t backing down. 💪 #TBT #ThrowbackThursday
Our local public radio stations—WFMU, WQXR, NJ Public Radio, and more—keep our communities informed, safe, and connected every day. Republican cuts to their funding would be devastating. I'll always fight for them and our community.
