NJ SNAP recipients may be hit hard by federal cuts | NJ Spotlight News More than 22M households, including 400,000 in NJ, could lose some or all of their food-assistance benefits under a new federal law.

SNAP benefits help hundreds of thousands of New Jersey families put food on the table.

The Republican spending bill – championed by my opponent @Jack4NJ – guts funding for this essential program.

If you haven’t questioned who @Jack4NJ is fighting for, now’s the time to start.

Bracing for Medicaid cuts in NJ | Video | NJ Spotlight News As Trump lauds tax-cut law, NJ officials and Medicaid users fear services will be slashed

Appreciated the chance to speak with @njspotlightnews.org ‬⁩ about the devastating cuts to Medicaid.

Kicking 350,000 off NJ FamilyCare isn’t eliminating fraud, waste and abuse - it’s funding tax cuts for the wealthy on the backs of NJ families.

Wishing you a happy Independence Day!

On the 249th anniversary of its signing, I keep thinking about the aspirational nature of the Declaration of Independence. Making good on the promise that all men and women are created equal and endowed with inalienable rights is more important than ever.

Tonight, many Americans rightfully are fearful about the possibility of escalation. Trump took this decision without consulting Congress or fully explaining to the American people. I worked in the Situation Room and warzones, and here are the questions we need answered. THREAD

If your GOP House Rep won’t fight for Medicaid for you, we will | Opinion Frank Pallone Jr. and Rob Menendez: Under the GOP bill, New Jersey is expected to receive $3.6 billion less in federal funding for Medicaid every year.

I was proud to stand with Rep. Frank Pallone & our E&C colleagues to fight against GOP cuts to the healthcare that so many New Jerseyans rely on.

Meanwhile Tom Kean stayed silent and voted to advance a bill that could strip coverage from thousands of his constituents.

This type of political violence is an attack on the foundations of our democracy itself. I am praying for the families and that those responsible are swiftly brought to justice.

I am horrified and heartbroken by the news that two elected officials in Minnesota were shot in what Gov. Walz said was a politically motivated attack. We’ve now learned that former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed.

So Congress is trying to fleece working families to increase the wealth of top-earners.

While making it harder for seniors and low-income adults to get food and medical assistance, and raising state taxes.

This is all according to Congress’s own nonpartisan budget office.

Great plan.

Mikie Sherrill’s career – from Navy helicopter pilot to Congress – exemplifies what public service is all about.

She has the vision and ability to lead our state forward.

I’ll be proud to cast my vote for her this November to be the next Governor of New Jersey.

There is nothing big or beautiful about a bill that undermines food security for families.

So this World Hunger Day comes with an urgent call to action and advocacy to stop cuts to SNAP.

Check out more about what these cuts would mean: www.nj.gov/humanservice...

But Congress is trying to make food insecurity worse with the deficit-growing bill to cut taxes for the wealthy. The Big Bill would shift $100m+ of SNAP costs to NJ, increase red tape for working families, and cut in half reimbursements to counties for processing applications.

I’m proud New Jersey enacted a $95 per month minimum for residents receiving SNAP food assistance - the highest in the nation. I’m proud New Jersey expanded summer school meals, automatically enrolls children on Medicaid in free school meals and cross-matches eligibility between SNAP and WIC.

#WorldHungerDay2025 is a somber reminder of devastating food insecurity in our communities and around the globe.

There’s a lot for New Jersey to be proud of in this area, and more work to be done. But Congress is threatening our progress.
