I was trained to use assault-style firearms in the Navy and can tell you that these weapons of war have absolutely no place in our communities. As a mom of four, I’ll never back down from protecting our kids from senseless gun violence.

Here's a recap on how we’re taking action to push back against Donald Trump and Elon Musk. I'm holding a telephone town hall on Tuesday at 7pm to talk more about what we are doing as a Democratic Caucus to move forward. Register at  . We’re not giving up,

Starting soon!.

TOMORROW: @Malinowski and I are going on Facebook Live to discuss how we can fight back and take action to protect New Jerseyans from Musk, Trump, and the abuse of power at DOGE. Join us at 9:30 on Facebook tomorrow morning.

I’m outraged by reports that the Treasury’s payment system – used for critical programs like Social Security and Medicare – is now being seized by unelected, unconfirmed cronies like Elon Musk who are trying to cancel essential programs that families across the country rely on.

These actions, including attempts to eliminate USAID, are illegal and unconstitutional. They're trying to fool Americans that the real problem is doctors at USAID saving lives rather than greedy price gougers and billionaires like Musk who'd rather maintain the status quo.

None of these actions will help families in NJ lower their grocery bills. It will not drive down the price of health care. But it will hurt seniors, kids, and our most vulnerable — and our ability to promote U.S. interests abroad.

This reporting is disturbing, raises even more questions, and requires transparency. I’ve called on Seton Hall to release the findings of its investigation and, yesterday, sent detailed questions to get to the bottom of this. New Jersey deserves answers and accountability.

Donald Trump’s tariffs on our trading partners Canada and Mexico will make every day life far more expensive for New Jersey families — in addition to weakening our national security and standing worldwide. Here’s how, a 🧵:.

You’ll pay more at the pump: We import significant crude oil supplies from Canada, which is then refined into gasoline and sold in the US. Universal tariffs on Canada will raise prices at the pump and make it harder for families to make ends meet.

I am committed to making New Jersey more affordable for all families. Trump’s tariff plan — targeted at our own partners and allies — will raise costs in the Garden State and make our economy less competitive globally.

Today marks the first day of Black History Month!. Throughout February — and all year long — we honor the impact that the Black community has made on NJ & our nation. We continue teaching & learning Black history to help build a more equal & just society for generations to come.

As a mom of four, I’ve seen firsthand how pandemic-related learning loss is continuing to impact all of our kids. We can help close that gap through consistent, high-quality tutoring. So, I’m reintroducing my bill to give our teachers & schools resources to provide just that.

Last night, the DoD rescinded a policy to allow servicewomen to travel for abortion care. I’ve gone toe-to-toe with Sen. Tuberville & House R's to protect this policy. Sec. Hegseth made it clear he doesn’t think women should serve. I’ll fight for our servicewomen once again.

This news of last night’s aircraft accident in Washington, D.C. has been nothing short of devastating. I am grateful to all of the first responders who have stepped up to help in recovery efforts. (1/3).

I will be following the details of the investigation closely as a member of the House Armed Services Committee. Agencies like the FAA and NTSB are critical to public safety and are already facing staffing shortages. (2/3).

The administration’s suggestion that these critical federal workers should resign makes us less safe. We need well-functioning government. I’m sending my deepest condolences to the families, friends, and loved ones of the passengers, pilots, and crew lost. (3/3).
