Job losses like this have real consequences for American families, especially in Trump’s high cost economy. From their ability to put food on the table to their retirement accounts, working people need Trump and the GOP to stop the chaos and corruption.
Under Kristi Noem, the Department of Homeland Security acted outside the rule of law. She needed to go – good riddance I say, but Congress must act to hold this out-of-control agency accountable.
This week I once again called for Secretary Noem to resign or be fired and I’m glad it’s happening. There is a long road ahead to reel in this out-of-control agency.
Secretary Noem is either completely incompetent or violating our rights with impunity, she should be removed from office.

I grieve for the three American service members who have been killed in action. My heart is with their families, and all those who are recovering from injuries as a result of this conflict with Iran.
And I will soon be unveiling legislation that would require DOJ & FTC to review all mergers under this Trump Admin and unwind any that are anticompetitive, bad for consumers, or put Americans out of work.
I intend to exercise Congress’ oversight authority and scrutinize this deal just as we did the Netflix transaction.
The proposed merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery is far from settled. It must be examined by Congress like all mergers to ensure it does not harm consumers, raise prices, or threaten jobs. I hope state AGs will use their powers as well.

I'm glad the Supreme Court has ruled what we've all known: this administration cannot ignore the rule of law and Congress' role to protect America's economy from reckless and chaotic tariffs.
Trump raised the cost on everything from the food we eat to the clothes we wear, and also failed to bring back good-paying jobs or fix our broken economy.
For nearly a year, Trump abused our trade tools to curry favors with foreign officials and exact revenge on his rivals, all while America’s working families and small businesses paid the price.
In the 21st century, it should be a no-brainer to use modern digital technology instead of pencils and paper to streamline our permitting process without compromising environmental standards. I’m proud to help lead this bill that will make government more efficiently for all Americans.
Trump’s petty and pathetic decision to illegally withhold funding for Gateway is undermining union jobs, the American economy, and the safety and economic wellbeing of the hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans that rely on this critical infrastructure every day.

Standing with leaders from across our state this morning to fight back against Trump’s illegal attempts to stop the largest infrastructure project in the country.
Trump is pushing an agenda of energy scarcity.
Tighter supply, higher prices, and more pain for working families.
Glad to stand shoulder to shoulder with leaders across our region as they file suit in federal court to require the Trump Administration to immediately release these funds.
Trump illegally withholding funds for the Gateway Tunnel project will put 1,000 workers out of jobs and stop construction on the most important infrastructure project in the country.
Later today there is an antitrust hearing on the proposed Netflix and Warner Bros. merger.
We need answers on how this will affect workers, artists, and not add to consumers already facing rising costs.
We cannot continue to bankroll a corrupt immigration apparatus that treats people with such cruelty and disregard for the law.
Americans are risking their own safety to say this must stop. They’re demanding action, and there is no excuse for the Senate not to stand with them.
I voted against funding a lawless ICE and DHS. These agencies are out of control and putting Americans’ lives at risk.
The administration is refusing to hold officers who abuse people accountable and refusing to submit to congressional oversight.
I’m deeply disturbed by the assault on Rep. Ilhan Omar last night as she met with constituents. I’m in awe of her determination in the face of adversity, and grateful the incident was not worse.
There is no place for political violence or intimidation in America.
Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
We honor the memories of the 6 million Jewish people, and millions more, viciously murdered at the hands of the Nazi regime.
We reaffirm our pledge to rooting out antisemitism and hate in all its forms, and vow to be the light in times of darkness.
New Jersey–we are anticipating a major winter storm this weekend.
Please act now to be prepared, plan to stay off the roads during and immediately after the storm, and closely follow local & state warnings.
Today I visited Delaney Hall to provide some measure of oversight and accountability to an out of control DHS.
I announced legislation that ends private detention centers and protects immigrants. I will not vote for another dollar for a reckless ICE & DHS.
