Caring about the earth and all living things. I will never stop standing up for and fighting for democracy and the rule of law. Southern NJ. CD-2 has become far too red, especially due to the last redistricting! #DemCast
The price tag for Trump's war in Iran is $1 billion PER DAY.
That’d be able to cover:
The cost of Medicaid for all 16 million people expected to lose it AND daily food stamps for all 41 million people who rely on them.
Trump chose a war without a plan over you.
New Jersey stands with West Bloomfield in the aftermath of this horrible and frightening attack, and we hope all families affected are safe and secure. 1/3
The state can raise revenues by taxing wealthy corporations that profit off New Jerseyans.
"State governments are going to have to work harder to make sure that wealth ... is being pulled back in to pay for the services that make the state great," said @ptrchn1.bsky.social.

Please stop these attacks on our fellow Americans and communities in our nation. Islamophobia fuels hate and violence.
Equating Muslims to terrorists and accusing an elected official of being a threat are unacceptable and against the oath we swore to become Senators.
Consider 27 Park Place in Bloomfield to be our wake-up call. We must vote in a local & county government that will work to preserve and keep safe affordable housing.
What is currently going badly is by design.

A military investigation found that the U.S. committed one of the worst civilian casualty strikes in decades. Hegseth must answer for this before Congress and tell us why they've gutted this critical tool for protecting innocent lives. 2/2
Three years ago, I helped write a law that created a Civilian Protection Center at the Pentagon. Last year, Hegseth gutted it. 1/2
Any of them in southern NJ Senator?
You shouldn't have to save until you're 40 to be able to buy a home.
That’s why I worked with colleagues from both sides of the aisle to craft the 21st Century ROAD to Housing package. It's time to get it passed.
Excited to share we secured $97.5 million in federal funding for projects across NJ! These projects will upgrade our infrastructure, support our seniors, and help families in need.
I'll keep fighting to return your taxpayer dollars to you so NJ gets the support it deserves.
How many times does it have to happen before everyone gets it?
Republicans start wars & crash economies.
ITS 👏 WHAT 👏 THEY 👏 DO!
Every damn time.

We need public hearings on this war.
The Trump Administration can’t keep hiding behind classified briefings. It’s time for them to answer questions in front of the American people.
Noem’s DHS made our country weaker. With their new nominee, does the Trump administration have any plans to fix what they’ve broken? I’m not holding my breath.
We should probably resolve the questions over the Epstein Files before we name an elementary school after him.
I keep thinking about this weird thing where the DOJ is investigating Jerome Powell for allegedly lying to the Senate about renovations (even though no senators have accused him of lying), while Kristi Noem told the Senate Trump approved her $220M ad campaign and Trump himself said that wasn't true.
That’s Awesome!
Have a very good night! 💗
Totally understandable! I’ve been off social media much of the of the time lately.
The lack of media coverage about the bombing of the girls elementary schools is shocking.
Oil up by $12 a barrel in less than 12 hours.
Gas prices skyrocketing.
Almost 100,000 jobs lost last month.
Another war in the Middle East.
Are we great again yet?
So much winning.
Say it plain: This is a terrible jobs report.
The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, nearly double the expected loss of 50,000. It’s the third payroll decline in the past five months.
📌Note: This is one of the worst monthly payroll drops since Covid.
The US economy lost 92,000 jobs in February and the unemployment rate rose to 4.4% Hiring at US businesses unexpectedly plunged last month as employers shed an estimated 92,000 jobs, according to new data released Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Economists were expecting a gain of 60,000 jobs. Screenshot from CNN
92,000 Americans lost their jobs in ONE month while this administration plays golf & starts wars. Unemployment hits 4.4% & nobody’s being held accountable.
We’ve seen ENOUGH! Republicans can’t be trusted to govern.

Fully fund public education, healthcare, housing…
My statement on Trump firing Secretary Noem. This is only the start of getting rid of the deep rot of corruption in this administration.
And that’s how congressional hearings are supposed to work.
Hopefully there will be some fraud charges to go with it.
But way to shit your pants and change your shirt, Trump.
🚨BREAKING: A day before early voting begins in Virginia’s redistricting referendum, Barack Obama called on Virginians to vote in favor of a state constitutional amendment allowing the legislature to redraw its congressional map to counter GOP gerrymanders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
DHS Secretary Kristi Noem (the last time I’ll write that) has been fired.
She is the 1st Cabinet member ousted in Trump’s 2nd term.
To be clear, it wasn’t Noem’s lies about Americans killed by ICE that was her final straw. It was because she made Trump look bad in a hearing.
Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.
Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.
So far the war in Iran has cost an estimated $5.5 billion.
That's roughly $1 billion per day.
$41,666,667 per hour.
$11,574 per second.
People do not want this.
They want a living wage. They want healthcare. They want to be able to afford a home. They want their basic needs met.
