Who pays for Trump's tariff tax? It isn't big business. It isn't cargo companies. It's you. And this year tariffs could cost you and your family as much as $2,510. Think about what you could do with that money. Then remember: the President is taking it from you to pay for handouts to billionaires.
I just left a @democrats-edworkforce.house.gov hearing with HHS Secretary Kennedy, where I pressed him on the Trump administration's changes to mental health and addiction parity rules. Here's my thoughts:
Are you paying more for gas? White House tells you "don't believe your lying eyes." Check out how much more you're actually paying at the pump: iranwarcost.watson.brown.edu
Yesterday I met with SMART Union President Coleman and union leadership to discuss how we can protect and strengthen America's building trades. Strong unions = strong jobs! Together we can stand up to Republican attacks on labor and the American worker.
Five years ago today, the House passed the Paycheck Fairness Act, which addresses wage discrimination on the basis of sex. As a member of the Congressional Labor Caucus, I'm fighting to make sure that everyone in this country has equal access to a fair day's pay for a good day's work.
Wishing a happy Vaisakhi to members of our Sikh community in South Jersey and beyond!
It was great to be in Gibbsboro last night for my 120th town hall meeting. I'm grateful to everyone who took time out of their day to come and make their voices heard. It's your questions, stories, and concerns that I take with me every time I head down to Washington.
Immigrants coming to America with hopes of a better life is a story as old as our nation itself. That's why we must continue to fight for real immigration reform, which includes a legal pathway to citizenship.
Earlier this month I met with faith leaders from Haddonfield United Methodist Church and St. Paul's United Methodist Church to discuss conditions at the Delaney Hall Facility in Newark and the hardships that our immigrant communities are facing here in South Jersey.
As a member of @democrats-edworkforce.house.gov , I’m fighting each and every day to keep federal education funding safe from the Trump administration’s war on education.
Today is the 61st anniversary of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which improves the quality of education by giving federal funding to schools across the country. No matter their zipcode, every child deserves a thorough, high-quality education.
Happy to see Governor Sherrill continue to focus on bringing down the cost of utilities by lifting the mortorium on new nuclear plants. Her action this week will provide an economic boost to South Jersey and result in more clean, reliable, and affordable electricity for the state.
Chag Sameach! Wishing a joyful and peaceful end to Passover to all who observe.
Its another example of Trump and MAGA Republicans helping their billionaire buddies at the expense of working families. As a member of the Labor Caucus and the only union electrician in Congress, I'll fight back against these and any cuts to worker safety.
Donald Trump continues to disrespect the American worker. On top of his tariffs, corporate handouts, and anti-union actions, he's now proposing massive cuts to the agencies that keep you safe on the jobsite.
Cutting children's nutrition and food assistance to give tax breaks to billionaires is not who we are as a country, and I will always fight back against attacks to our food and nutrition programs.
Last year, Donald Trump signed the Republican Budget Plan, also known as the Big Ugly Law, which cut food assistance for 42 million Americans, including 16 million children.
April is Global Child Nutrition Month, and our nation's food banks are critical in the fight against hunger. Places like the Food Bank of South Jersey are working each and every day to make sure that American families get the food and nutrition they need to not only survive, but to thrive.
The deadline for high school students to submit artwork for the Congressional Art Competition is almost here! The winner will get to visit DC for a reception and have their artwork on display in the Capitol for a year. Deadline for submissions is April 20th.
Maya Angelou famously said, "when someone shows you who they are, believe them." I think it's about time we listened.
Trump has said publicly time and time again that funding Medicare, Medicaid, child care services, and other programs that make life more affordable for working families is not a priority. He'd much rather fund his war of choice in Iran. Hear it is again, right out of his mouth.
This conduct by the Commander-in-Chief is dangerous and disgraceful.
Congress has a duty to hold the President accountable for his actions, and it’s about time we took action.
Ask yourself: does this feel like a budget that's going to help everyday Americans?
Last week, the White House unveiled Trump's 2027 budget and its filled with ways to make life harder and more expensive for working Americans.
All this, and more, so that MAGA Republicans can give billionaires more tax breaks and fund Trump's War of Choice in Iran.
I was lucky to have excellent doctors and nurses with the resources needed to save my life. With the SEPSIS Act, we can change lives and combat the devastation this condition has on our loved ones by improving standards of care across the country.
Today marks 1 year since I was hospitalized with sepsis, and I’m calling on Congress to pass my SEPSIS Act. Sepsis affects more than 1.7 million people annually and is the third leading cause of death in hospitals.
Chaos, confusion, and higher prices. That's what Trump's war of choice with Iran has led to. He promised to bring down prices on day one. He's only made things worse.
we've prevented infectious diseases.
In Congress I will continue to fight for our healthcare workers, advocate for strong public health policies and stand up to Trump and RFK Jr's attacks on our nation's health. Every American deserves a safe and healthy community. #NPHW
Public health workers show up for us everyday, keeping our families healthy and strengthen our communities. There's a lot to celebrate during National Public Health Week. Over the last century, our public health system has increased life expectancy, lowered infant mortality and with immunizations,
