Storms have battered Plainfield and surrounding towns over the last few months. From flooding in North Jersey, to powerful and deadly thunderstorms in Central Jersey, and tornadoes in South Jersey, we are seeing what happens when we allow polluters to write our environmental…

Instead of a minimum wage increase, or funding the government, or addressing climate change, 219 Republican politicians don't want to work this week so they can avoid the Epstein vote until after their vacation.

The GOP just voted to put Big Bird and Elmo on unemployment. Why? Because Republicans won't dare question the President's petty attacks on PBS & NPR. In America, we stand up for a free press - even when we disagree. We won't let this attempt to purge public media intimidate us.

If you want to know how little the Trump administration values Black lives, they've asked that one of the officers from the raid that killed Breonna Taylor be given a ONE DAY prison sentence. This is disgusting, disrespectful, and racist. I cannot condemn it strongly enough.

New Jersey’s Congressional Democrats stand united in opposition of the Trump Administration’s decision to create a detention facility for undocumented immigrants at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst.

Lacy Clay, Sr. was a champion of civil rights and workers rights through his life of public service and inspired many to fight for what is right. Praying for Congressman Clay’s family and well as the countless Missourians who remember him fondly.

Just when you think this Justice Department can’t get any lower. Breonna Taylor’s life was worth more than this. nytimes.com/2025/07/17/us/…

Five years ago today, we lost my friend and personal hero, John Lewis. John meant so much to so many of us. Now more than ever we need righteous, fearless fighters like him.

The Republican funding bill for the Department of Housing and Urban Development cuts funding for civil rights enforcement by 67%. I offered an amendment to remove these cuts, and protect all Americans from housing discrimination.

Sayfollah Musallet was beaten to death by Israeli settlers. He was an American citizen, just 21 years old. His death should matter and still U.S. leaders are refusing to reconsider weapons sales to the government responsible for protecting his killers. It’s indefensible.

Trump's Corruption World Tour made a stop in the House this week as Republicans try repeatedly to push through Trump-backed legislation to deregulate the crypto industry. So why is Trump so keen to carve out new loopholes for crypto tycoons? Watch below to find out:

The idea of Trump receiving a Nobel Peace Prize is laughable. Netanyahu’s nomination is just a tactic to validate their shared corruption. A war criminal trying to legitimize the most corrupt politician of our lifetime: there is nothing about bombing civilians that qualifies as…

Even after Trump ended 988's specialized services for LGBTQI+ people, help is still available for LGBTQI+ people in crisis. If you or someone you know needs help, these resources remain available and offer specialized support for those in the LGBTQI+ community:

If you were impacted by the storms this week here is a great resource to learn about assistance you may qualify for: disasterassistance.gov/get-assistance…

Hi folks! My office is accepting applicants for our Fall internship programs until August 1st. We have three programs: a Legislative internship in Washington D.C., a Constituent Services internship in Ewing NJ, and a Press/Digital internship (in DC or NJ). More info below:

I'm working with Lupita Nyong'o and my colleagues to pass the U-FIGHT Act and invest in fibroid research. 80% of women suffer from fibroids, and Black women are disproportionately impacted. But only 8% of research dollars goes to women's health care. That needs to change.

This morning I joined Lupita Nyong’o and my colleagues in Congress for an in-depth roundtable discussion on uterine fibroids. Despite the fact that a majority of women will suffer from fibroids at some point in their life - women of color especially so - they have gone…

Proud to stand with @RepYvetteClarke, @RepShontelBrown, @Sen_Alsobrooks & advocates to introduce legislation to research, treat, and prevent uterine fibroids and cancer. There is an epidemic afflicting women — especially women of color — and we must do more to address it.
