Plastic is being found in the water we drink, the food we eat, even the air we breathe. This pollution is pervasive, worsening, and damaging to both public health AND the environment. Great to see a clear, thoughtful vision from @POTUS and @VP tackling it head-on.

Today, we released the first government-wide strategy to tackle plastic pollution and announced a new goal to phase out single-use plastics from federal operations by 2035. Thanks to @POTUS & @VP , we are leading efforts to end plastic pollution.

This announcement, made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act, includes a $248 million grant that boosts our electric vehicle infrastructure in NJ and along the I-95 corridor. It's a huge step toward cutting greenhouse gas emissions and boosting clean energy infrastructure.

I’ve secured $500,000 in federal funding to improve the area in Long Branch between the Elberon Library and Train Station and to link it to a new bike path along Lincoln Avenue. This project will also support the resurfacing of the train station public parking lot.

Trump can claim that he doesn't know what Project 2025 is, but that doesn't change the fact that hundreds of people who worked for him are pushing this plan to limit Americans' freedoms. Trump's extreme right-wing policies and the Project 2025 plan are one and the same.

President @JoeBiden 's decision to step back shows his selflessness. With 50+ years of service, he always put the country first. I’m grateful for his calm leadership after Trump's divisive years. Now Dems must unite to defeat the authoritarian GOP nominee & protect our democracy.

On this day in 1974, Turkey launched an illegal invasion of Cyprus, dividing the island and displacing thousands. Today, we remember the victims of this tragedy by condemning these atrocities and calling for a united independent Cyprus.

Democrats passed a historic agenda to protect the environment, bolster clean energy, and invest in climate-resilient infrastructure. As we're working to build on this progress, Republicans are doubling down on dirty fossil fuels and denying the basic science of climate change.

So sorry about the passing of Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee. She was a fighter for people in need, a consummate legislator, and a real friend. The House will not be the same without her.

I’m alarmed by the CrowdStrike outages and how such a widespread, destabilizing incident could occur. This is wreaking havoc on air travel, hospitals, businesses, and Americans’ lives. Through @EnergyCommerce , I’m reaching out to all appropriate parties to get answers.

At my urging, I was joined by @EPA & @NewJerseyDEP officials in Keyport to survey the beach & see the impacts of the potentially hazardous lead material. I'm pushing @EPA & the relevant authorities to quickly investigate the contamination & prioritize its containment & cleanup.

I spoke with @NBCNewYork yesterday about the potentially hazardous lead material that was discovered in Keyport & what I'm doing to ensure the issue is addressed. I'm working with @EPA to determine where the material came from & pushing the agency to prioritize this issue.

Just got off my weekly call w/ @Amtrak ’s CEO. Progress is being made to address recent service disruptions: new pantographs installed, joint wire inspections are underway, & outage repair plan is in place. Federal grant applications were submitted on 7/15 for long-term upgrades.

It's been two years since the 988 lifeline launched, and since then counselors have responded to 10 MILLION contacts. If you or a loved one needs help, please reach out. 988 is here to help.

Two years ago, my Administration transitioned the National Crisis Lifeline from a ten-digit number to 988, linking folks to a trained counselor 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Since then, we've answered 10 million calls, texts, and chats. For those who need help, we're here.

Spoiler alert: Project 2025 would be awful for the environment. Trump will dismantle @EPA & roll back the HISTORIC climate progress Democrats made with President Biden over the past 4 years.

THC products like these—clearly marketed in a way that appeals to kids—should not be on the market.   Glad to see @US_FDA and @FTC taking action to get them off shelves.

FTC and @US_FDA send second set of cease-and-desist letters to companies selling products containing Delta-8 THC in packaging designed to look like children’s snacks. Agencies call out firms for putting kids’ health at risk for the sake of profit:

Since Day 1, Democrats have stood with unions and defended the right to organize. With the Biden Admin, we have pushed the most pro-labor agenda in our nation's history! I was proud to highlight these achievements today at the NJ Building & Construction Trades Annual Convention.
