Today, I'll vote to create a Commission on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys. It'll examine how racism and social injustices create heavy mental and emotional burdens for black men and boys and then work to remove them. #BlackMenAndBoysAct https://t.co/zL1Tt4JbVg — PolitiTweet.org

What is happening in Portland right now is COMPLETELY unacceptable. I co-signed a letter to demand Chad Wolf, Acting Secretary of Homeland Security , resign immediately for his poor leadership and responsibility for this tragedy. https://t.co/qBNLr9QwHa https://t.co/xZ4KF8Ivd6 — PolitiTweet.org

Too many New Jersey residents have been stuck with stations in New York or Philadelphia for their "local" TV news coverage for too long. I introduced a bill today to provide local stations for local news and issues. We need New Jersey stations for New Jersey stories! https://t.co/V4qpAvIGVz — PolitiTweet.org

The #ADA improved access to buildings, but it also made people aware of the abilities of those who were previously excluded. As we commemorate the 30th anniversary of the ADA (#ADA30), we must continue the fight to expand opportunity, equality and access for all Americans. https://t.co/MfOPNK3pgQ — PolitiTweet.org

I was shocked and appalled by the racist content on a Bayonne-based Facebook page. Racism and hatred have no place in our society. I fully support the investigation into these posts and hope the person or people involved are brought to justice soon. https://t.co/pWY00JZaog — PolitiTweet.org

It’s been FOUR weeks since the House passed the George Floyd #JusticeInPolicing Act, and Senate Republicans refuse to take action. You can also weigh in on the bill and have your voice heard at https://t.co/QFtXTPwRdm. https://t.co/RNIzIhphTL — PolitiTweet.org

Last night, I had the incredible honor of paying tribute to one of our greatest Americans, Congressman John Lewis. Unfortunately, it was too long for Twitter. Please take a moment to watch it on my Facebook page, @DonaldPayneJr, and pass it on. @repjohnlewis https://t.co/D4jAlMQfA3 — PolitiTweet.org

Here is part of the prepping for my colonoscopy today. It's not fun, but Bottoms up! It's well worth it to stay safe and alive. I encourage all men 50 and over to get a colonoscopy. It might be unpleasant, but it can add YEARS to your life. https://t.co/IRzD1nf20E — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I voted for a bill to provide more green spaces in our low-income neighborhoods and communities of color. We need to make nature available to all Americans. https://t.co/lTgT5UprTM — PolitiTweet.org

I'm furious about what is happening in Portland. This should NOT occur in a country dedicated to free expression and assembly. I joined a letter with my Democratic members on the Homeland Security Committee to demand answers about it. https://t.co/xlbCelgwuE — PolitiTweet.org

Our veterans have sacrificed for us, so now we must do right for them. Proud to support HR 886 #VeteranTreatmentCourtAct to create treatment courts nationwide and get our vets help instead of jail time! https://t.co/l0NXM8I7dK — PolitiTweet.org

This week, faith-based leaders will promote Census participation with coordinated opportunities for faith communities to support the 2020 Census.

Here is a great example of how the CARES Act has benefited our district. Now, we need the Senate to pass the Heroes Act so we can continue to support Americans and American businesses through this crisis! https://t.co/OOzAbsG3fl — PolitiTweet.org

Devastated to hear about John Lewis- one of my fathers on the House floor. I was in awe of how he conveyed power with a gentle demeanor to fight for the right thing. He was a hero, mentor, leader, and friend to me and millions of Americans. He will be missed. @repjohnlewis https://t.co/tlVo73Wll4 — PolitiTweet.org

Sorry to hear of the passing of C.T. Vivian. He was a civil rights icon, friend of Dr. Martin Luther King, and Presidential Medal of Freedom winner for his commitment to non-violence to end segregation. My condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time. https://t.co/0rj1HtlMXh — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I voted for the Water Resources Development Act in the T & I committee. I added a provision to make the Port of NY and NJ waterways deeper so ships with more cargo can dock and bring more business to our state. Now, the bill will go to the House floor for a full vote. https://t.co/SATEMByXAh — PolitiTweet.org

The expanded unemployment benefits will expire in the next two weeks. My House colleagues and I passed the HEROES Act to avoid this catastrophe. Yet, the Senate does nothing and continues to let Americans suffer needlessly. It makes me furious!!!! https://t.co/AOUujqJ0D8 — PolitiTweet.org

I wanted to thank Rep. Nita Lowey for all her service to the people of NY-17 and our country. The Chair of the House Appropriations Committee will retire this year after 30 years on the committee and 16 Congressional terms. I wish her the best. @RepLowey https://t.co/vpjaoR9jzE — PolitiTweet.org
