Baseless firings will lead to worse health outcomes and higher costs for the most vulnerable in our communities and will stall critical research on diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s (RIP abuela).

Make America Healthy Again? Trump has fired dedicated civil servants at multiple agencies (National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Admin, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid) whose sole mission is keep our communities safe and healthy.
Air Traffic Controllers and other safety officials at the FAA are the experts who keep our skies safe and running efficiently. I've been to the ATC tower at EWR Airport and the work they do is incredible. We need WAY more of them, not less.
Federal employees received a "what did you do last week?" email from Musk and his team, which is insane. They are public servants who keep our nation safe, families healthy, and economy running. These brazen efforts to gut the workforce will have a profound impact across the country. Here’s how: 🧵
I had a great time at Union College of Union County, NJ , touring the Elizabeth Campus and meeting with students. And I always enjoy getting to see the Trinitas School of Nursing lab and learning a new skill or two. @underwood.house.gov - how did I do?
The chaos and disruption that this administration is causing has a direct impact on hospitals, schools, and communities across the country.
We can work together to make government more efficient and to modernize how we deliver services to our constituents. But this is not the way.
Watch 👇
We must do everything we can to protect our communities, our children and fight back against actions that tear us apart.

This is truly heartbreaking. Jocelynn Rojo Carranza should still be here with us.
These are the real consequences of the harmful rhetoric about immigrants, which is causing irreparable harm across the country.
Yesterday, I had the honor of hosting a Medicaid roundtable at North Hudson Community Action Corp. With proposed cuts threatening essential care for millions—especially kids, seniors, and those with disabilities—it’s critical we stand together to protect Medicaid.
We can never forget that we are a nation of immigrants. And our communities are stronger because of the contributions of ALL of our neighbors.
That’s why we are standing with them in these challenging times.

We've heard from constituents concerned w/ what’s happening in DC. That’s why I hope you’ll join me & @replamonica.bsky.social for a Tele-Town Hall on Mon., Feb. 24 at 5:30 PM.
We want to hear from you & help make sense of all the news & the impact on our communities.
Dial in at (833) 998-0897!
We'll always stand up for immigrants & their vital role in our communities.
Private detention centers like the one in Elizabeth run counter to the values of our district & our state.
That’s why, w/ @replamonica.bsky.social & @repbonnie.bsky.social, we're working to prevent their expansion.

Honored to join New Jersey City University alongside @replamonica.bsky.social to celebrate their partnership with Statewide Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of New Jersey in launching the Hispanic Business Hub, expanding opportunities for Hispanic businesses and students!
Medicaid is a lifeline for thousands, including cancer patients. With funding at risk—not just for Medicaid but also for the National Institutes of Health—we must take action. Grateful to meet Evelyn, Volunteer Lead Ambassador for @acscan.bsky.social, fighting for lifesaving care.
Now more than ever, we must protect our data and strengthen cybersecurity. I was glad to visit Hudson County Community College, sit in on their Database Design class and meet the next generation of cybersecurity leaders.
Today is Presidents Day. And while our current President prefers activities like attending the Super Bowl & Daytona, in his place he trusts an immigrant from South Africa to run the country & the son of immigrants to do our foreign policy. Looks like immigrants really do make this country run.
Thankful today and every day for these valentines.
Wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day. 🫶
Our seniors are the heart of our community, and today, we joined our Harrison seniors for a Valentine’s Day celebration.
It was great to show our love and appreciation and reaffirm our commitment to ensuring they access essential resources like Medicare and Social Security.
Trump promised affordability BUT:
📈 Inflation is up 3% in 3 weeks
📈 USDA predicts egg prices will rise another 20%
That's why I joined my Dads Caucus colleagues to figure out what the hell the admin’s plan is to lower prices. Families deserve answers, not excuses.

We want to hear from you—how will these cuts impact you, your family, and neighbors? Let us know👇
