Every child in New Jersey deserves an outstanding public education.
Trump’s freeze on $143 million in federal funding for teacher training & before-and after-school programs is devastating for our children’s futures.
House Democrats will fight this illegal move at every step.

📍Greetings from food capital of the world - Hudson County

Here are some of my favorite spots but please support all of the restaurants that make JC truly special.

Republicans are attacking women’s access to reproductive healthcare in New Jersey and across the country.
Democrats will not stop fighting for access to reproductive healthcare for all.
Let’s be clear: when people lose healthcare coverage, the costs don’t just disappear—they shift.
I’m fighting to protect coverage and strengthen care for all of our constituents after Republicans’ disastrous cuts.
Grateful for organizations like WomenRising that uplift women & families.
We must keep pushing for a future where everyone can succeed.
That’s why I introduced legislation with @ilhanmn.bsky.social that creates a new program to help parents access childcare when enrolled in workforce training.
In the face of devastating loss, New Jersey’s own Scott Ruskan showed immense courage, saving nearly 200 lives during the catastrophic Texas floods.
New Jersey stands with Texas, and we're grateful for every first responder for their heroic efforts.
The Trump Admin is ending legal protections for thousands of Hondurans & Nicaraguans who’ve lived here for decades.
This decision upends lives & contributes to a culture of fear.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social stand united with our neighbors & for communities built on both dignity and inclusion.
My heart is with all those who’ve lost loved ones due to the catastrophic flooding in Texas.
Grateful to first responders & emergency crews working tirelessly as they continue to conduct rescue efforts & keep communities safe.
New Jerseyans stand united with Texans during this devastating time.
If you need help with a federal agency, please contact our office at (201) 309-0301.
🚨 Casework Highlight 🚨
A West New York constituent reached out to us for help with their Employment Authorization Document after receiving a job offer and experiencing delays.
After contacting USCIS, we resolved the issue, and our constituent is able to begin their new job.
📍Jersey City 4th of July celebration!
Happy Fourth of July! 🇺🇸
As we reflect on our nation’s founding ideals of liberty, freedom, and the promise of opportunity for all, I am forever committed to building a future that reflects the best of who we are and everything our country can be.
Wishing you and yours a great day!

For 8+ hours, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social spoke to keep Republicans from jamming Trump's One Big, Ugly Bill through in the dead of night—forcing them to cast their votes in the light of day.
House Democrats’ commitment remains: We’ll keep pressing on for the American people, until victory is won.
We were united against this bill, and we will be united in the work ahead.
House Democrats will keep fighting for a more perfect union - for everyone.
Thank you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for showing what commitment to the American people and building a stronger future for ALL Americans looks like.
House Democrats stand united in voting NO on this bill and are going to - and will always - press on.
Thank you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social for laying out the case against this terrible GOP bill and highlighting my amendment.
If Republicans really thought their cuts wouldn’t hurt our neighbors, they would have voted for it to give an assurance to the American people. They did not.
The sun may be up in D.C., but @housedemocrats.bsky.social have been on the House Floor all night—fighting to protect your healthcare, your food assistance, your future.
We're standing together—because the stakes couldn’t be higher.
Republicans have shown a record-setting level of dysfunction trying to advance this bill.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social should be in no rush to make his case about how awful this is for the American people.
@housedemocrats.bsky.social are united. Tune in below ⬇️
Just took to the House Floor to speak in support of a country where everyone can afford to live the good life.
And in strong opposition to Trump’s One Big Ugly Bill that is devastating to everyday Americans.
We will not be silenced.

Republicans are staying silent while preparing to vote for deep Medicaid cuts—hurting millions.
But there’s still time. They can choose to do the right thing.
I’m standing with my @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social colleagues to fight back—and make sure the people we represent are heard.
I won’t bore you with the procedural, wonky DC issue at hand here.
I’ll keep it simple:
@housedemocrats.bsky.social want to preserve and enhance Medicaid and SNAP for Americans.
House GOP wants to pass the LARGEST cuts to both programs in our country’s history.
