In 2022, Congress enacted the PACT Act to support veterans exposed to toxic burn pits—yet they left civilian law enforcement behind. I am marking #PoliceWeek by introducing the Kenya Merritt Renewing our PACT Act to ensure these workers can finally access treatment.

I visited Delaney Hall with @menendez.house.gov to see the inhumane conditions of ICE detention facilities. The treatment at Delaney Hall is cruel, and meant to destroy people’s spirits. This is unAmerican and it must change. gothamist.com/news/conditi...

Inflation is out of control from Trump’s Iran war. Now inflation is rising faster than wages. Working families are struggling to afford health care and gas bills. Trump is BUILDING A BALLROOM, and painting the reflecting pool blue? Outrageous. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/12/b...

It’s for FIFA to stop this chaos. @frankpallone.govpeeps.us and I are deeply concerned by reports that FIFA is employing opaque pricing, shifting rules, and potentially deceptive practices that are making it difficult for fans to access seats. Read more:

Men and women who stood shoulder to shoulder with our troops should not be left behind when they come home sick. I am proud to introduce the Bipartisan Renewing Our PACT Act to fix a gap for civilians exposed to cancer-causing burn pits.

Ever since I asked ICE boss Todd Lyons about ICE’s role at the World Cup, I’ve heard from residents, fans, and people across the US who are worried about the games. They’re worried about being priced out. They’re worried about their safety. Yet we still don’t have clear answers.

I voted YES on the War Powers Resolution. Trump’s war has gone on too long, already taking the lives of our brave men and women in uniform. Choosing between Donald Trump and America, House Republicans today once again picked Trump.

This isn’t the Club World Cup: since last summer the world has seen the brutality of Trump’s ICE raids. I am glad FIFA is taking this seriously but we need certainty. ICE raids at stadiums would only cause chaos and confusion. The games start in 59 days. ⏱️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/719...

Americans deserve a Congress they can trust. Our behavior as lawmakers must be above reproach. At a minimum, it is clear that Reps. Swalwell and Gonzalez have betrayed their constituents, staff, and their oath of office. (1/2)

📍 Secaucus | Today I joined Mayor Michael Gonnelli and local leaders to announce that my office secured $250,000 in federal money to help build a new youth sports gym at the Secaucus Recreation Center. This is about more than a building. It’s about giving our kids a place to grow.

As the Supreme Court considers Trump’s scheme to end birthright citizenship, we must remember: being “American” is a right guaranteed by our Constitution and defended in the battlefield by countless sons and daughters of immigrants. America’s soul is not Donald Trump’s to bend.

On #EqualPayDay we mark the extra work women have to do everyday to bridge the wage gap.   This year, the gender pay gap has widened for the second year in a row. For every $1 earned by men, women earn 76 cents.

Michael Flynn is a convicted felon who pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI. This isn’t justice—it’s a rigged system where Trump’s allies cash in and you pay. $1.25 MILLION of TAXPAYER MONEY. No one is above the law… unless you’re close to Trump.

Americans already distrust ICE—and Trump’s latest move hasn’t done anything to ease the long lines; it has just added stress and anxiety for travelers worried about their safety. Fund TSA. Get ICE out of our streets and airports.

With less than 90 days until kickoff, the World Cup should bring the world together and not leave people wondering if ICE will be waiting outside stadiums. We want law enforcement to focus on security for the games, not meeting POTUS’s civil immigration quotas. www.nytimes.com/athletic/713...

🚨 FEMA just released $625 Million in World Cup security funding—47 days after it was due. 🚨 Kristi Noem said they couldn’t release the funding because of the shutdown; that was another lie. ❌ Now we can turn the page and focus on a successful and SAFE World Cup.
