#NJ06 Congressman. Top Dem on @EnergyCommerce. Fighting to lower Rx costs, protect our shore, & hold corporate polluters accountable. Long Branch born & bred.
The Trump Administration has been skirting pipeline safety protections, choosing when to enforce the law and when to let polluters off the hook. Enough is enough. Today in @EnergyCommerce I’m pushing for accountability and a return to a system that puts pipeline safety first.
What an embarrassment. Republicans are unfit to govern. They ran on releasing these files and when their base demands they deliver, they whiff again.

.@EnergyCommerce is holding an oversight hearing on our nation's organ donation system today. We owe it to everyone involved to make sure this system is working smoothly and that there is respect for donors and their families throughout the process.
This makes no sense! @EPA needs biologists, toxicologists, and other scientists if it’s going to protect Americans’ health and environment. By eliminating its science office, Trump’s EPA is putting corporations over people. It’s indefensible.

Republicans claim their health care cuts will only be around the edges. It’s a lie. The truth is their Medicaid cuts will be devastating for Americans with disabilities and their families.

House Republicans are pulling the sand out from under us…literally. Their partisan appropriations bill slashes beach replenishment funding for the first time in nearly 30 years! I’ll fight these reckless cuts every step of the way.

Health insurance premiums are going to soar next year thanks to President Trump and Republicans in Congress. They moved heaven and earth to extend tax breaks for billionaires, but when it came to renewing tax credits to lower your health premiums they couldn't have cared less.

Health insurance companies are increasingly denying patient drug claims, making people jump through additional hoops to get the medicine their doctors prescribe. Your health insurance should work for you, not the other way around.

Trump says the people in Delaney Hall are scary criminals. But his own data says 96% of them have done nothing wrong. When the facts don’t help Trump story, he makes up a new one.

If Trump fires Fed Chair Powell, it won’t just rattle Wall Street. It could crash your 401(k), spike your mortgage rate, and send prices soaring. Trump’s tantrums are a threat to your wallet.

Elon Musk built a chatbot that called itself MechaHitler. It posted rape fantasies and hate speech. So what did Trump’s Defense Department do? Gave it $200 million. Horrifying that this hateful bot is now federally funded.

Juul nearly singlehandedly reversed decades of progress to reduce teen smoking rates. Now Trump is giving the vape company carte blanche to market their products. It's a big step in the wrong direction from this Administration.

Only a fool thinks the answer to FEMA’s problems is to scrap it entirely. That’s like burning down your house because the roof leaks. Anyone who's lived through a hurricane or wildfire knows FEMA isn’t perfect, but you want someone showing up when your life is in ruins. People…
