Republicans say Americans are concerned about data centers because they’re influenced by foreign propaganda, but they couldn't be more wrong. Just ask the more than two dozen communities in NJ that have taken action to stop them!

I'm devastated to hear that three service members have been tragically killed since the U.S. resumed strikes on Iran. This war has never had any rationale and every life lost is without reason. It must end before any more American lives are lost. www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

U.S. military launches new airstrikes to punish Iran for deaths of U.S. troops

Since the war began, 16 U.S. service members have now been killed and over 430 wounded.

Trump used his incoherent, rambling speech last night to try and relitigate an election he lost because he wants to rig the next one.

Trump: "Congress must pass the SAVE America Act"

My statement regarding today's vote on the Massie Amendment.

If the Trump Admin enacts this rule, communities will be denied the chance to voice opposition to data center construction in their own backyards. It’s outrageous. Trump is willing to silence dissent if it continues to help his Big Tech buddies. It should be rejected.

This is the second time this week an ICE agent roaming our streets has murdered someone with no accountability and no body camera footage.

This is exactly why we need a national moratorium on these data centers until we’ve put serious guardrails in place.

This is reminiscent of the KKK marches a century ago. This is not what America is about, and we can’t allow our country to return to its racist past.

Happy 250th Independence Day. I believe in America’s promise, and I’m proud to celebrate a quarter millennium of its founding today.

You can thank the rush to build AI data centers for an ever-decreasing supply of memory chips, which is driving up the cost of phones, laptops and other consumer electronics.

Data centers are harming our nation’s air, water, and power bills. That’s why we need a national moratorium on new data center construction.

BREAKING: Top E&C Democrat @pallone.house.gov calls for a national moratorium on AI data centers.

Trump is trying to throw my NJ colleague, @replamonica.bsky.social, in PRISON for 17 years because she conducted oversight of the Delaney Hall ICE facility.

Esther’s tax refund was stalled because of an identity theft declaration issue on her account. After my office stepped in, the IRS removed the flag, updated the account, and finally released her refund.

Allowing an industrial-scale detention center—with conditions unfit for human habitation—to open in our state should have been out of the question.

ICE Spent $700 Million on 7 Warehouses. Now It Wants to Get Rid of Them.

We found Trump's birthday wishlist. Spoiler alert: @houserepublicans.bsky.social have been all too happy to check every item off it.

This is a dangerous consolidation of power to Paramount Skydance CEO David Ellison who constantly bends the knee to Trump. Ellison has positioned his growing media empire to serve Trump, including his ongoing destruction of CBS News. With this merger, he would now control CNN too.

Asbury Park has hosted New Jersey’s most prominent Pride celebration for over thirty years in honor of the pioneers of America’s LGBTQ+ rights movement. This fight hasn’t stopped.

Happy Pride, New Jersey! It was a great privilege to be here at Jersey Pride in Asbury Park to celebrate with our vibrant LGBTQ+ community.

The dam is breaking. Americans don’t want Trump’s illegal, unconstitutional war, and keeping the pressure on @houserepublicans.bsky.social finally worked. The House, the Senate, and the American people have spoken. Trump must follow the constitution and end this war IMMEDIATELY.

Extremists in the Republican Party have gone completely off the rails. While I'm glad the backlash against Rep. Ogles has been swift, the culture of bigotry that made his tweet possible must be rooted out at its source. Hatred has no place in America. Happy Pride. I fixed your tweet for you.

I’m back at Delaney Hall with @repanalilia.bsky.social, and we were able to confirm the horrible conditions detainees described to us in our previous oversight visits. However, we also verified the release of some of this facility’s most medically vulnerable detainees and saw improvements.

Happy Pride, New Jersey! I’m proud to stand and celebrate Pride Month with the robust and vibrant LGBTQ+ community in my district. I am determined to fight for the progress America has made to support our LGBTQ+ neighbors. We are never going back.

When I visit Delaney Hall, the immigrants detained there always talk about how much they value the American dream.

Trump’s DHS is LYING to Americans about what’s happening inside Delaney Hall. I saw what was going on with my own two eyes—this facility needs to be closed down.

🚨I’m back at Delaney Hall, where I just heard EYEWITNESS ACCOUNTS from detainees. My concern is that hunger strikers are being retaliated against, all because they were advocating for better food, access to basic medical care, and judicial hearings.

My office has received concerned calls from New Jerseyans who have reported that detainees at Delaney Hall have been beaten and pepper sprayed in retaliation for protesting the horrific conditions of this for-profit facility.

Let’s cut through the noise from Trump’s DHS. Here’s what I saw on the ground at Delaney Hall:

Trump’s DHS can deny it all they want, but we know what we saw in Delaney Hall yesterday. There’s a hunger strike because conditions are awful.

I just visited Delaney Hall with my colleagues @repnellie.bsky.social and @kim.senate.gov, and it’s crystal clear to me there’s only one option now. CLOSE DELANEY HALL, NOW. The conditions here are absolutely unacceptable. These detention centers have no place anywhere in our state or our country.
