Pete Hegseth is covering up the deaths of our men and women in uniform to try and save his own reputation. We respect our service members and the sacrifices they make, and we honor those who've made the ultimate sacrifice, but it is clear this administration doesn't.

Republicans canceled an oversight hearing to sweep this under the rug. I'm demanding an investigation and accountability.

AI is rapidly changing the healthcare landscape, but we need to make sure patients aren't being left behind. That's why I introduced a bill that would prohibit prior authorization requests from being denied using artificial intelligence unless they are reviewed by a qualified physician.

My thoughts are with the brave service members who lost their lives & their families. This country owes a debt that can never be repaid, but we can prevent more tragic loss of life. I demand that Trump end this war he started & Republicans in Congress do the same. www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

Six years ago today we lost the great civil rights leader Congressman John Lewis. Now more than ever, we must honor his legacy by continuing to fight for justice, equality, the right to vote, and to get into Good Trouble.

How many more people have to die before these dangerous ICE agents are reined in and taken off of our streets?

The American people deserve transparency and survivors deserve accountability. I voted to require the public release of records detailing taxpayer-funded settlements involving sexual harassment by Members of Congress.

The Supreme Court’s decision to defend the Constitution and protect birthright citizenship is a win for the rule of law in our country. Trump may be trying to dismantle our democracy, but the Constitution is clear: if you were born here, you are an American citizen.

.@replamonica.bsky.social is facing 17 years in prison for conducting oversight and demanding accountability from Trump's administration. Sending your political opponents to prison is something authoritarians do. I stand with my colleague.

At a time when Americans are struggling to afford gas and groceries, Republicans just passed a bill that hands more than $70 billion in taxpayer dollars to agencies that have killed Americans and subjected immigrants to inhumane treatment—with no accountability. I voted no on this horrendous bill.

Donald Trump is putting our service members in danger with this prolonged war with Iran. I’m grateful that the two pilots involved in this attack are alive and unharmed. It’s time to end this needless war and bring our troops home.

Two people have died in Minneapolis that would still be alive if ICE wasn’t there. Federal Agents are a danger to citizens and must be taken off the streets immediately.

WATCH: This video was sent to me by one of my constituents. It shows masked federal agents — without a warrant — harassing American citizens on private property. This is wrong & deeply disturbing. My office will continue to monitor the situation closely. youtu.be/2AT--0sbneQ?...

I’ve been crystal clear from the start: I won’t support any funding bill without the ACA tax credit. I voted NO on the CR tonight because it fails to meet the moment—and unfortunately, the American people will feel the effects of this failure the most. This fight isn’t over.

On Veterans Day, we not only honor those who served, but recommit ourselves to taking care of those who put on a uniform. I introduced a bill to help veterans gain easier access to Narcan. As veterans are particularly vulnerable to substance abuse, this will prevent overdose deaths and save lives.

It's been 35 days since the government shutdown. Healthcare costs are about to skyrocket, people are going hungry— and House Republicans don't even care enough to show up and do their job.

This Thursday, I will be hosting a tele-town hall to answer questions regarding the current government shutdown and the upcoming rise in healthcare costs that Republicans refuse to address. I'm ready to take your questions and hear how you've been impacted by the shutdown. RSVP using the QR code:

‼️ Even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene agrees that we can’t allow Republicans to raise health care costs for millions of Americans. If we don’t act, insurance premiums will go up at least $4k for families and $1.2K for individuals in NJ on the ACA. It’s time to get back to work for the American people.

Congressman Herb Conaway @repherbconaway.bsky.social · 15/10/2025
It’s been almost a month since House Republicans have held a vote in Congress. They’ve shut down the government with no plan to negotiate or protect health care costs. Democrats are back in D.C. and fighting so families can afford their health care.

If you didn't do your job for 19 days, you would be fired. And yet House Republicans sent their members home. They've been on vacation instead of finding a solution to end this shutdown and lower healthcare costs. I am back in DC with my colleagues and ready to work for you.

Congressman Herb Conaway @repherbconaway.bsky.social · 06/10/2025
If Republicans allow Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire at the end of this year, this is what healthcare costs will look like for families across our community. While they keep our government shut down, we're fighting to protect and lower your costs.

Costs are high enough. Now, health care costs are going to nearly double when tax credits under the ACA expire. I voted NO on Republicans' funding bill today: they refused to act to save people's health care. I won’t sit by as they give tax cuts to the rich & make costs greater for everyone else.

Like Kirk, Kimmel had the right to share his opinions-even if you find them offensive. The problem with taking Kimmel off air has nothing to do with what he said. Trump put political pressure on ABC to cancel his show. It's not cancel culture. It's a muzzle on speech that this admin doesn't like.

For anyone who remembers where they were on 9/11, it doesn’t feel believable that it’s been 24 years. We can never forget the lives we lost on that day, and must ensure the heroes of 9/11 are given the resources they deserve.

I unequivocally condemn the attack of Charlie Kirk. The truest sign of our right as Americans to freedom of expression is tolerating opinions you don't agree with. Using political violence to settle our differences is never the answer & will only divide us. Praying for his family & UVU students.

Yesterday marked 90 years of Social Security delivering a crucial safety net to hard-working Americans. Trump officials and House Republicans say they want to privatize Social Security. I’m working alongside my Democratic colleagues to not only protect, but enhance your benefits. It’s time to act.

An ICE Facility at Ft. Dix would undoubtedly affect our service members’ morale and their ability to serve. It feels painfully hypocritical to have U.S. troops training to fight for our freedoms on the very same base that will likely ignore thousands of immigrants’ basic human rights.

This morning, @norcross.house.gov & I visited Ft. Dix to demand answers about the proposed detention center. As of now, no undocumented immigrants are being held on the base. But that hasn’t stopped this administration from keeping Congress and military officials in the dark about their intentions.

My deepest sympathies are with those affected by the flooding in Kerrville. I'm particularly devastated to hear about the young girls at Camp Mystic. Thank you to the first responders for their heroic efforts. I also must thank NJ's own Scott Ruskan, who saved nearly 200 lives during the flooding.

Health care decisions should be between a doctor and their patient. Period. This decision continues to put women’s access to reproductive health care at serious risk. There is no room for politics in the exam room.
