On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we honor Dr. King’s legacy as a trailblazer for liberty in America. We must carry on the work to achieve his dreams of equality and justice in the face of growing attacks on civil rights and free expression.

Great to hear a sermon from Lieutenant Governor-elect Caldwell on continuing the fight for justice—even in the hardest of times—in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s name. I was joined by Middlesex County Clerk Pinkin here at the United Methodist Church in New Brunswick.

I’m proud of Springsteen for calling out Trump’s erosion of America’s promise. Trump is trying to silence protests against ICE’s lawlessness. Our democracy is being tested, and like the Boss says—we must speak out against those who seek to destroy America’s values and ideals.

We were promised a golden age, and instead we got a dark age. This is what happens when you make economic policy that’s meant to benefit your billionaire friends—and NOBODY else.

Manufacturing employment has declined every month since April, when the president said tariffs would bring factories “roaring back.”

Trump is threatening military action across the globe right as he shuts serious journalists out of the Pentagon and turns anything that remains into a propaganda mouthpiece. This should scare anyone who believes in government accountability. https://t.co/rx6TSktA7F

The Defense Department says it is revamping the military newspaper Stars and Stripes to focus on “reporting for our warfighters” and eliminate woke distractions.

Trump has consistently lied about election fraud and this report, **from his own people,** proves it. He lies so he can continue his smear campaign against our immigrant neighbors, and because Republicans can't stand when unpopular policies get them voted out. Strong

Republican election officials welcome the review, which relies on a federal verification tool, but they say they have not discovered a major problem when it comes to noncitizen voters.

Count me in. Americans deserve a President who cares about increasing their standard of living, instead of stabbing our allies in the back.
Earlier this evening I introduced the bipartisan No Funds for NATO Invasion Act, prohibiting the Trump administration from invading the territories of any NATO ally. NATO has been the foundation for peace between the US and Europe for almost 80 years, and it has made Americans

Trump’s plan is unfolding before our eyes. Step 1: try to incite violence on our streets. Step 2: threaten to invoke the Insurrection Act and deploy troops. We cannot allow him to get to Step 3. The complicity must end and the temperature must be turned down. @HouseGOP MUST

Republicans spent the last year taking health care away from millions of people and spiking costs. Now they’re once again peddling the same crusty ideas they have for years in new packaging. All President Trump’s proposal would do is raise costs and provide worse coverage. If

There are now credible reports that Syrian forces, alongside Turkey, may be advancing against our Kurdish allies in Northern Syria. I'm deeply concerned by this news. Any further attacks on these forces, who were central to defeating ISIS and remain key allies of the United
RM @RepGregoryMeeks: I continue to monitor the situation in Aleppo with great concern and call for urgent de-escalation. All displaced civilians must be permitted to return to their homes, while food and basic supplies must reach Syrian Kurdish areas in need. It is vital for all

Brendan Carr is weaponizing the @FCC to censor speech Trump doesn't like. And Republicans are letting them get away with it.

I'm teaming up with @RonWyden to demand the Trump Administration restore important measurements of child vaccinations. We cannot abdicate responsibility to monitor the quality of care provided to nearly half of our nation’s children.

It’s Congress’ job to make sure our first responders have the tools they need to do theirs. That’s why I’m strongly supporting passage of Next Generation 9-1-1 in @EnergyCommerce today. This bill would finally allow Americans to text pictures and videos to emergency personnel,
