    Just read the FBI report on Kavanaugh - if that’s an investigation, it’s a bullshit investigation.

    In 2017, I mustered all of my energy to fight tooth and nail to save the Affordable Care Act alongside & more brave NJans. Now Republicans say they will try again. When. Will. They. Learn!?

    As the great Maya Angelou said, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." Mitch McConnell is saying what I've always known - he hasn't given up on gutting protections for preexisting conditions & ending the progress we've made under Obamacare.

    Mitch McConnell is confirming what I've been warning about: that if he's in power next year, he'll come after Medicare, Social Security, and even affordable health care.

    You pay into Social Security and Medicare your entire working life. You EARNED those benefits. We can't let McConnell Republicans take your hard-earned benefits because he foolishly gave away $1.5 trillion to big corporations and the top 1%

    So let’s get this straight: Republicans passed a tax law that they claimed would give Americans a $4k raise Instead it expanded the deficit with $2T in tax cuts mostly for corporations & the wealthiest few Now they blame—and want to cut—Medicaid, Medicare & Social Security 🤔

    I tried to stop this! As you see from my tweet a year ago, Republicans wouldn't have it. And now McConnell says it out loud - he wants to target Social Security and Medicare to make up for massive deficits from his tax giveaway. Absolutely not. Not while I'm here, dammit.

    I just voted to stop future cuts to Medicare and Social Security that may be triggered by , but not surprisingly the Republicans rejected it. It's almost like they know those kind of painful cuts is exactly what their deficit will lead to.

    Look at this graphic I posted about a year ago. It's coming to fruition. McConnell said he needs to cut Social Security & Medicare to make up for deficits from his tax giveaway. Rest assured, I'm standing strong to defend these essential lifelines.

    The non-partisan now says the will blow an even bigger hole in the deficit than they thought. That means future Republicans will have to take even more out of Medicare, Social Security & Education to pay for it.

    After Sandy, I forced FEMA to reopen flood insurance claim reviews & passed legislation to stop skyrocketing premiums & refund homeowners who overpaid for flood insurance. Now we're fighting unfair clawbacks & more because too many are still rebuilding

    Determined to fight this partisan targeting of New Jersey taxpayers in the latest Trump IRS rule. and I will not stand for Trump telling NJans they have to pay taxes twice on the same dollar so CEOs and corporations can reap huge windfalls.

    Comprehensive health care means more than just good physical health; it's also about good mental health. That's why I fight for grants like this - because if a substance use disorder is paired with mental health struggles, we need to be able to tackle both

    But that is not enough. The Turkish gov't must also release all unjustly detained Americans, and our local staff. The Trump Administration must continue to hold Turkey accountable for all unjust detentions and human rights violations.
