In New Jersey, people are seeing an average of a 174% increase in healthcare costs that would be catastrophic to their families. I am here in the Capitol to work on their behalf.
Where are Speaker Johnson and House Republicans? This is their job too.
Letting people go hungry in this shutdown is a choice Trump is intentionally making.
He could tell the USDA to use contingency funds to ensure families get their SNAP benefits on November 1st, he’s just choosing not to.
Speaker Johnson has kept the House home for 38 days. He is intentionally preventing your representatives from doing the work you elected them to do.
What would happen if you didn’t show up to work for 38 days?
In New Jersey, healthcare premiums rates will increase on average by 174%.
This is devastating. And, it’s exactly why we have to continue to stand up right now and give families the relief they deserve.
7 years after the horrific Tree of Life synagogue shooting, we remember the 11 lives that were lost. Today, I think of these families and communities, and of the work we must continue to do as a country to combat antisemitism in every form.
Trump could ensure people don’t go hungry, he’s just choosing not to.
Just like Speaker Johnson could bring House Republicans back to work to lower healthcare costs, he's just choosing not to.
The American people don’t have the luxury to choose.
Trump and Congressional Republicans are playing with YOUR money – “terminating” critical infrastructure projects like the Gateway Tunnel Project, while also refusing to lower your healthcare costs.
Full conversation with Heather Cox Richardson on YouTube.
This isn’t about election integrity, it’s about the Trump Administration trying to intimidate voters and cast doubt on our legitimate and secure democratic process. —AK 2/2
There is no credibility to the Department of Justice’s announcement made just hours before Donald Trump holds a campaign event with Jack Ciattarelli. This is clearly a political act led by election denier Pam Bondi. 1/2
They just care more about protecting Donald Trump’s corrupt spending and their own paychecks than they do your ability to put food on the table or go to the doctor when you’re sick.
The choice they’ve made is crystal clear. 2/2
This will be catastrophic for millions of Americans and the House Republicans who have taken over a month of paid vacation funded by your taxpayer dollars, know it. 1/2
We can’t keep our communities healthy or our state moving forward if we don’t address this healthcare crisis.
Community health centers like Zufall in NJ are feeling the pressure, not just from Medicaid cuts this year, but from what skyrocketing ACA costs would mean for the people they serve.
On Nov. 1, millions of Americans will log-in to the ACA marketplace to enroll in, change, or renew their health insurance. What they'll see is an astronomical rise in their premium costs.
Time is running out to lower costs and address the immediate healthcare crisis we face.
It’s Day 23 of the government shutdown and we’re just over a week away from ACA open enrollment.
Millions of Americans will be unable to afford their healthcare, but Speaker Johnson doesn’t seem to care. It’s time he bring the House back to work for you.
Let me tell you why Trump is sending your taxpayer dollars to bail out Argentina, and screwing over American soybean farmers and cattle ranchers in the process.
Day 22 of the government shutdown and House Republicans are still nowhere to be found.
Speaker Johnson is running out the clock as millions of Americans will see astronomically high healthcare costs on Nov. 1st.
I hope you see this for the complete dereliction of duty it is.
The Hudson Tunnel Project that Trump is going after for political revenge is of national importance.
@petebuttigieg.bsky.social and I are tired of the mob boss politics. Republican, Democrat, or somewhere in-between, you don’t deserve to be treated this way by the President. Full convo on YouTube.
Tonight, I'm proud to stand with @merkley.senate.gov as he shines a bright light on the dangers that we face and the fragile moment our democracy is in.
Thank you, Senator Merkley, for your words and your fight tonight.
Here are 3️⃣ absolutely insane and corrupt things happening in the Trump Administration right now.
