This National Health Center Week, I’m grateful for the care Community Health Centers (CHCs) provide to millions of people in this country. I believe everyone should have access to healthcare and am committed to working alongside our CHCs to build a healthier future for all.

Edwin Lopez Cornejo, a young man who was detained at Delaney Hall, died this weekend. He leaves behind a family and community who deserve answers.

When Democrats stand up for the American people, we can deliver for them; that’s what this continuing resolution does. It not only keeps the government open, it stands in the way of Donald Trump weaponizing this funding for his extreme political agenda.

When anyone tries to skirt regulations on the road, it can cost lives. I introduced the SAFE Act to ensure that unsafe trucking companies are held accountable and that road safety comes first. This will also allow truckers to keep our economy moving with greater peace of mind.

We are moving in the WRONG direction when it comes to kids' healthcare coverage. MediKids would remove the cost burden on states and ensure that every kid has healthcare, no exceptions.

During my visit to the RAIN Foundation House, I heard from current residents about the hope that this place has given them and the importance of investing in the services that help them thrive. Read more about it here.

Happy National Farmers Market Week! Farmers markets provide spaces for communities to gather while enjoying delicious food and fresh produce. There’s no better place to celebrate than the Garden State. Thank you to all the farmers back home who fuel our farmers markets!

It was an honor to sit down with ROK Trade Minister Yeo Han-Koo and convey Congress' bipartisan support for the U.S.-ROK partnership.   We discussed Korea's investment in U.S. shipbuilding and strategic industries, and I look forward to deepening this investment in New Jersey.

Parents face incredible anxiety when it comes to caring for their kids. MediKids is the guarantee I think our country needs.

I know I'm not the only one who feels incredible anxiety about the cost of healthcare. That's why I introduced MediKids.

Happy National Black Business Month! Black-owned businesses are critical to our communities. We should celebrate their contributions and support them not just this month, but all year round.

Pete Hegseth has a problem with women. Particularly women in combat roles. From blocking promotions of qualified servicewomen to launching a bogus study on the “effectiveness” of women in combat, he's shown more interest in attacking women than protecting our national security.

We can't just say what we're against. This is my vision for our future: guaranteed healthcare for all kids.

It was wonderful to see Big Brothers Big Sisters of Essex, Hudson, and Union Counties at the Capitol this week.   Thank you for bringing hope and mentorship to over 5,000 New Jersey students and congratulations on receiving the 2026 Agency of the Year award. 1/2

MediKids is a real path to universal healthcare for all children in America.   I responded to the Washington Post’s Editorial Board on why MediKids won’t just close the gap of uninsured kids, but raise the bar for all. Read the full letter: www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

It was great to meet with Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to discuss the Kidd's Stuttering Act. Michael, thank you for being an inspiration and for using your platform to help others. 1/2

We must take the next step to deliver care to our country. I can’t think of a better place to start than with our kids.

Today is Brian Sicknick Day in NJ. Brian was a U.S. Capitol Police Officer who defended the Capitol and our democracy on January 6, 2021, and died after being brutally attacked. 1/2

Cathedral Kitchen is taking care of the Camden community. I'm inspired by William and his story.

Answering your questions about MediKids.

I’ve worked in the Situation Room and seen the critical role the DNI plays in our national security.   We don’t need yet another “yes man” to this president.   That’s why I voted against Jay Clayton.

BREAKING: Trump ally Jay Clayton, who has no intelligence experience, has just been confirmed by the Senate to be Director of National Intelligence.

Everyone should have the freedom to decide when and if to start a family. I sat down with @reproductivefreedomforall.org to discuss the state of abortion access nationally and how we can work together to enshrine federal protections for reproductive healthcare.

Like most parents, I have a lot of anxiety about keeping my two boys safe from dangers online as they grow up in a world full of ever-evolving technology. We owe it to parents and kids to put guardrails in place against invasive child data collection before more harm is done. 1/2

Happy New Jersey Day!

It was an honor to join KAGC and Remember727 for the 19th annual National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day Commemoration to recognize the service and sacrifice of brave Korean War veterans. 1/2

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a landmark civil rights law that has helped millions of people with disabilities and their families live safe, healthy, and fulfilling lives. 1/3

I recently spoke with NephCure about their work on rare kidney diseases.   We need to increase access to early diagnosis and educate medical providers on the best treatments.   We should always think about how to increase access to care so all Americans can live healthy lives.

Reflecting on what MediKids, healthcare for every kid, means to me as a dad.

Come along with my office to Cape May.

Very grateful to receive First Focus Campaign for Children's support for MediKids. This is a compelling case for why we need to act NOW to ensure all kids have healthcare — and coverage that addresses kids’ particular needs on pediatric, dental, vision, and behavioral care.

MediKids: Sen. Kim’s Vision to Cover All Kids

The American people do not believe that children should be sick, in pain, or without preventive care like vaccinations and annual check-ups based on the wealth of a child’s parents, their zip code, th...
