So what has changed? The Republican Party is COMPLETELY beholden to Trump and his attempt to upend the rule of law. That’s why Republicans are threatening the impeachment of judges. But we won’t stand for it.

To be clear, BOTH Dem and GOP AGs have taken administrations of the opposite party to court. That’s ok - see separation of powers point above. And don’t like a decision? You can appeal it.
Texas AG Paxton even “celebrated” having filed his 100th lawsuit against the Biden Administration. Sen. Cruz said of GOP AGs “their work is important and much needed."
Here’s the hypocrisy: by the end of Biden’s term, his Administration had faced 133 multi-state lawsuits filed by GOP Attorneys General.
And while Trump has repeatedly attacked federal judges who ruled against him, calling for their impeachment is unprecedented and EXTREMELY dangerous.
The separation of powers is the cornerstone of our democracy. Both Democratic and Republican AGs have challenged executive actions in court. This has become increasingly common during the era of Obama, Trump 1.0 and Biden.
Democratic AGs have been successful in filing suits against the Trump Administration. So how do Trump and his Republican allies respond? They attack federal judges. Here’s why it’s not only problematic but also highlights their shameless hypocrisy. 🧵
We need to continue to invest in our public education system and meet the challenges of the moment. It’s hard work but we can - and MUST - do it. Let’s get it done!
In New Jersey, we put $1 billion in federal funding to work by improving K-12 outcomes, making higher education accessible for more students, and supporting our hardworking educators.
The Department works to create equitable educational opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background. Talk to educators and they will tell you how essential the federal support is.
Trump dismantling the Department of Education is not just unconstitutional, it will have devastating consequences across the state and country. Here’s how 🧵
It was GREAT visiting Gambert Shirts in Newark and hearing about their nearly 100-year history! And when you meet the owner, Mitch, you get a real sense of his passion for the craft. Thanks for having me!
We are building a transit system that our constituents deserve by securing $112 million to improve rail infrastructure along the Northeast Corridor. Now we’re asking Amtrak for an update on where those funds stand. Grateful to Congressman Frank Pallone for leading this effort.
Every day, our team works hard to serve our constituents. That’s why I call some of those who have worked with our office to check in on the status of their matter and hear directly from them.
We're here to serve you, so please call us at (201) 309-0301 if we can ever be of assistance.
BIG thanks to the Hudson County Clerk’s Office for co-hosting today’s Passport Clinic! Together we helped over 70 neighbors apply for their passports! Our office is here to help - call us at (201) 309-0301.
GREAT to be in Union City with Mayor Brian Stack for the opening of Northeast New Jersey Legal Services' newest office! Grateful for their dedication to making legal services more accessible to the people who call this district home. Thank you for your advocacy and commitment to the greater good!
In Newark today with @kim.senate.gov and @replamonica.bsky.social to support our federal workforce and the housing programs that so many rely on.
We are in this fight and will keep pushing to make affordable housing MORE accessible and pushing BACK against Trump’s cuts to HUD.
So let’s not be silent in this moment. Let’s make our voices heard. Let’s protect those who are the most fearful in this dark time in our country’s history. The stakes are too high and there’s no way I’m backing down from this fight.
Trump is targeting the people who go to our churches, go to school with our children and work alongside each of us to build a better future for our families AND our country.
None of this is normal. ICE agents have detained and questioned U.S. citizens. Trump has ignored court orders. He has invoked the Aliens Enemy Act for the first time since WWII.
