President Trump met with President Xi this week, but there are a lot of questions about the vague commitments made.
Here’s what I’m watching. THREAD 1/4

We must reject any notion that some public servants are “good” and some are “bad.” They all deserve more respect than Trump is capable of giving them. 3/3
I fully support our public servants and believe we need a re-investment in service in this country. It’s why I’ve introduced the Answer the Call Agenda, a package of legislation that aims to do just this. 2/3
This is incredibly dangerous and a direct attack on nurses, teachers, first responders, and public service workers across the country. 1/3
From the Gateway Tunnel Project to SNAP, Trump is trying to cancel programs to seek political retribution and inflict harm.
This is not democracy – it’s mob boss politics and it’s no way to govern.
There's a $5 billion contingency fund to solve the hunger crisis Trump has manufactured; he's just refusing to use it.
That's why I signed on to the Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act of 2025 to ensure families don't go hungry due to the actions of this administration.
Trump’s Department of Agriculture is choosing to use food as a political tool, weaponizing it against the people who need it most.
They are choosing to keep Americans hungry.
It’s just plain cruel.
The Trump Administration has been trying to cut and gut SNAP for a long time now.
It should come as no surprise that they aren’t willing to use the $5 billion emergency fund that exists for moments like this to ensure that 40 million people in this country don’t go hungry.
My statement on the newly announced trade deal between the US and South Korea.
Thanks for the great questions on my Reddit AMA yesterday. Loved the opportunity to talk favorite books, high fives vs. fist bumps, and all things music.
Republicans have left the building.
Trump has left the country.
It's clear they're OK if you can't afford healthcare.
It's clear they're OK if federal workers don't get paid.
And, it's clear they're OK if millions of kids go hungry.
It's clear they don't care about you.
The US government should work with its international partners to address the humanitarian situation and end this terrible conflict. 2/2
With at least 150,00 killed and millions displaced, the humanitarian crisis in Sudan continues to worsen. I am appalled by the reports of atrocities and the disregard for human life in this conflict. The people of Sudan have suffered immensely. 1/2
On the 13th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, I remember the damage, destruction, the lives lost. I also remember a unified effort to aid survivors.
Natural disasters aren't going away. We must continue to invest in a FEMA truly suited to the needs of people and communities impacted.
Even Speaker Johnson’s own Republican House members want to come back, negotiate healthcare, and save SNAP.
You can only suppress your own members—and the American people—for so long.
Bring the House back NOW.
Check out a few answers from my Reddit AMA this morning about SNAP, healthcare, and the shutdown.
More to come.
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.
