Join my team and I next Thursday for a Health and Wellness Expo where I'll be sitting down with local healthcare experts to discuss the impacts of H.R. 1. We will also provide information on Medicare enrollment and health resources like blood pressure stations and free cancer screenings!

Pete Hegseth is covering up the deaths of our men and women in uniform to try and save his own reputation. We respect our service members and the sacrifices they make, and we honor those who've made the ultimate sacrifice, but it is clear this administration doesn't.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com

Exclusive: More American service members have died in the Middle East during the ongoing Iran war than the Pentagon has disclosed publicly, according to six U.S. officials familiar with the data.

AI is rapidly changing the healthcare landscape, but we need to make sure patients aren't being left behind. That's why I introduced a bill that would prohibit prior authorization requests from being denied using artificial intelligence unless they are reviewed by a qualified physician.

My thoughts are with the brave service members who lost their lives & their families. This country owes a debt that can never be repaid, but we can prevent more tragic loss of life. I demand that Trump end this war he started & Republicans in Congress do the same. www.cbsnews.com/live-updates...

cbsnews.comIran War Updates: 2 U.S. service members killed in Jordan defending against Iranian attacksIn addition to the two U.S. service members killed, another is currently missing in action, U.S. Central Command said on Saturday.

How many more people have to die before these dangerous ICE agents are reined in and taken off of our streets?

The Supreme Court’s decision to defend the Constitution and protect birthright citizenship is a win for the rule of law in our country. Trump may be trying to dismantle our democracy, but the Constitution is clear: if you were born here, you are an American citizen.

.@replamonica.bsky.social is facing 17 years in prison for conducting oversight and demanding accountability from Trump's administration. Sending your political opponents to prison is something authoritarians do. I stand with my colleague.

At a time when Americans are struggling to afford gas and groceries, Republicans just passed a bill that hands more than $70 billion in taxpayer dollars to agencies that have killed Americans and subjected immigrants to inhumane treatment—with no accountability. I voted no on this horrendous bill.

Donald Trump is putting our service members in danger with this prolonged war with Iran. I’m grateful that the two pilots involved in this attack are alive and unharmed. It’s time to end this needless war and bring our troops home.

February is Black History Month. During this time we honor the brilliance, resilience, and impact of Black Americans—past and present—who have shaped our nation, our culture, and our future. Celebrating Black history means celebrating America.

He gets to go home to his family. The woman he murdered does not. The officer orphaned a child. He must be held accountable — and so must Noem.

Q: The officer involved in the shooting in Minneapolis yesterday -- has he been suspended? NOEM: The officer went to the hospital. He was hit by the vehicle. He received treatment, was released, and is spending time with his family now

I’ve been crystal clear from the start: I won’t support any funding bill without the ACA tax credit. I voted NO on the CR tonight because it fails to meet the moment—and unfortunately, the American people will feel the effects of this failure the most. This fight isn’t over.

Breaking: The House just voted to reopen the government.

On Veterans Day, we not only honor those who served, but recommit ourselves to taking care of those who put on a uniform. I introduced a bill to help veterans gain easier access to Narcan. As veterans are particularly vulnerable to substance abuse, this will prevent overdose deaths and save lives.

This Thursday, I will be hosting a tele-town hall to answer questions regarding the current government shutdown and the upcoming rise in healthcare costs that Republicans refuse to address. I'm ready to take your questions and hear how you've been impacted by the shutdown. RSVP using the QR code:

‼️ Even Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene agrees that we can’t allow Republicans to raise health care costs for millions of Americans. If we don’t act, insurance premiums will go up at least $4k for families and $1.2K for individuals in NJ on the ACA. It’s time to get back to work for the American people.

It’s been almost a month since House Republicans have held a vote in Congress. They’ve shut down the government with no plan to negotiate or protect health care costs. Democrats are back in D.C. and fighting so families can afford their health care.

If you didn't do your job for 19 days, you would be fired. And yet House Republicans sent their members home. They've been on vacation instead of finding a solution to end this shutdown and lower healthcare costs. I am back in DC with my colleagues and ready to work for you.

If Republicans allow Affordable Care Act tax credits to expire at the end of this year, this is what healthcare costs will look like for families across our community. While they keep our government shut down, we're fighting to protect and lower your costs.

[UPDATE] The lockdown has been lifted. There is no reported threat to the public.

Congressman Herb Conaway@repherbconaway.bsky.social

My office is aware of the reported lockdown at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst and will be monitoring the situation closely. I will report back with any updates. newjersey.news12.com/lockdown-at-...

Costs are high enough. Now, health care costs are going to nearly double when tax credits under the ACA expire. I voted NO on Republicans' funding bill today: they refused to act to save people's health care. I won’t sit by as they give tax cuts to the rich & make costs greater for everyone else.

Join me this Thursday for my tele-town hall! It is undoubtedly a troubling time in Congress, and I look forward to answering your questions. You can join using the QR code or the link in my bio. As a reminder, I host town halls in-person every other month, so stay tuned for next month’s location!

I unequivocally condemn the attack of Charlie Kirk. The truest sign of our right as Americans to freedom of expression is tolerating opinions you don't agree with. Using political violence to settle our differences is never the answer & will only divide us. Praying for his family & UVU students.

I am horrified to learn about the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. Children deserve to go school safely without fear. They deserve to pray without fear. We need swift gov't action to address this gun violence epidemic. My heart goes out to the innocent children and families

Yesterday marked 90 years of Social Security delivering a crucial safety net to hard-working Americans. Trump officials and House Republicans say they want to privatize Social Security. I’m working alongside my Democratic colleagues to not only protect, but enhance your benefits. It’s time to act.

An ICE Facility at Ft. Dix would undoubtedly affect our service members’ morale and their ability to serve. It feels painfully hypocritical to have U.S. troops training to fight for our freedoms on the very same base that will likely ignore thousands of immigrants’ basic human rights.

💸🚨 In just over 6 months, our team delivered $2.5 million rightfully owed to residents in our district. While I’m fighting against the harmful policies of this administration, my team is working to provide assistance with federal agencies, social security, passports & more.

My deepest sympathies are with those affected by the flooding in Kerrville. I'm particularly devastated to hear about the young girls at Camp Mystic. Thank you to the first responders for their heroic efforts. I also must thank NJ's own Scott Ruskan, who saved nearly 200 lives during the flooding.
