Feeling like I'm 30 again, getting ready for testimony in the Mental Health Committee, chaired by @LindaLeeforNYC on behalf of @KAFSCNY. We're asking for ongoing support for culturally responsive mental health services in language with @AAFederation

We’re grateful to @GovMurphy for his leadership in addressing health care disparities that disproportionately affect Black communities, Latinx communities, and LGBTQ+ communities across our state. New Jersey can and must do better. It’s past time to close the gap.

Today I signed an executive order establishing an advisory council on HIV, STIs, and viral hepatitis, led by the @NJDeptofHealth. While the federal government removes critical public health information from its websites, we will not waver from protecting public health.

NOW: Anti-ICE protesters are blocking both sides of the 101 Freeway near the Alameda Street exit in DTLA. The CHP has since closed that portion of the freeway. Read more: https://t.co/K60ImdzmDi

What do you call a political system where one extremely wealthy private citizen controls all government spending with zero oversight, obvious conflicts of interest and an extreme ideological agenda? A less democratic system than China, Cuba or virtually any other nation on Earth.

@joeymdfox @MikieSherrill @Josh4Jersey @SteveSweeney_NJ @rasjbaraka @NJGlobe @StevenFulop 1 thing all NJ Dems running for Gov support? An end to warrantless ICE raids. After ICE detained immigrants & citizens, including a veteran in Newark, it’s clear we need more protections to uphold the constitution. The solution? Pass the Immigrant Trust Act now. #NJGovDebate

The ICE raid on Thursday was despicable, and I will not sit idly by while they harass our neighbors and ignore our inquiries.  I teamed up with @RepMenendez and members of the NJ delegation to demand answers from ICE and DHS on the safety and wellbeing of those involved.

📣 BIG: immigrant families, 5th congressional district residents hold a vigil in the freezing cold to urge @RepJoshG to vote NO on anti-immigrant legislation S5/HR29. @RepJoshG don’t supercharge Trump’s deportation machine! 2.3 million NJ immigrants & our families are at risk.

Waiting for Paterson City Council hearing to start @AlexM4Paterson @andresayeghNJ . @ACLUNJ strongly opposes an ordinance that would criminalize houseless New Jerseyans and sentence them to a bed in jail instead of emergency shelter

🦋New Jersey Immigrants are Here to Stay! Right now, Congress is attempting to pave the way for Trump’s mass deportation plans. We must put pressure on the New Jersey delegation to vote NO on the Laken Riley Act! 📲 Call your representative TODAY!

Presidents can’t overrule the Constitution and centuries of precedent with a stroke of a pen. I'm leading a coalition of 18 states in suing to stop Trump's unlawful EO banning birthright citizenship. When we say we will fight for the rule of law, we mean it.

Thank you @NewJerseyOAG for seeing what we see: that New Jersey has an opportunity to become a leader in resisting the federal anti-immigrant agenda ☄️ Standing up for “New Jersey values” means fighting back against immigrant hate. The #ImmigrantTrustAct is next.

Every week brings more terrifying details of the Trump administration’s plans for mass deportations & family separation. Trump’s plans will be catastrophic not just for immigrants but all NJers. @GovMurphy & the legislature must act now to pass the Immigrant Trust Act. #NJSOTS
