It will be 20 years ago this Sunday (Jan. 19th) that three students died in that horrific Boland Hall fire at Seton Hall University. I was proud to commemorate them and discuss what I've done in Congress to protect college students from similar disasters in the future. https://t.co/h6PbGQp7qc — PolitiTweet.org

I wanted to praise the cheerleaders from West Orange High School yesterday. They will compete for the high school cheerleading national championship at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando in February. Whether they win or not, they are already champions to me. https://t.co/DD3et8VejZ — PolitiTweet.org

I really enjoyed my time this morning at the 49th Annual Memorial Breakfast to honor Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. hosted by the YMCA of Newark and Vicinity. https://t.co/WgzBq07Rj8 — PolitiTweet.org

New report from the Government Accountability Office stated President Trump broke the law when he froze military aid to the Ukraine. I hope my Senate colleagues read this article as they start the President's impeachment trial today. https://t.co/nAVOHIZEDI https://t.co/SeEpfmp9M7 — PolitiTweet.org

I really enjoyed meeting with supporters of ADAPT and the Disability Integration Act today. I spoke about how their struggles are similar to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s struggles for civil rights 50 years ago. https://t.co/pdYAZzGHsN — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. @RepDonaldPayne

I had a great meeting today with leaders of the Jewish Federation to discuss ways to combat the recent rise in anti-Semitism. We talked about how hate and intolerance have no place in America, whether it is anti-Semitism or racism. https://t.co/3wnpe7zBr5 — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. @RepDonaldPayne

Today, I heard about troubling working conditions for airport services workers at our nation's airports who are paid low wages and lack basic health care. We need to give them and all American workers a living wage, affordable health care, and a fair shot at the American Dream! https://t.co/UEVH4iOzoM — PolitiTweet.org

I met with Newark Mentoring Movement officials last November and I was impressed with their work to create more opportunities for mentors throughout Newark. I praised their work on the House floor today. We need more mentors nationwide. https://t.co/oQ0QdkVZak https://t.co/Zyxboe2bF3 — PolitiTweet.org

Robert Cottingham has dedicated his life to serving his community of Orange, NJ and our country. I had the honor of attending his 90th birthday last Sunday and wanted to praise him on the House floor last night. https://t.co/rkha3xfBu0 https://t.co/lxD9n8CthG — PolitiTweet.org

I enjoyed speaking at the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey's Safety and Security Summit last night. I wanted to state that diversity, inclusion and acceptance make America a symbol of freedom around the world. Hate and intolerance have no place in our country! https://t.co/tkKzjZ82Vs — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I had the honor of attending the signing ceremony for the Securing American Nonprofit Organizations Against Terrorism Act, a bill designed to protect our religious communities. No one should be afraid to go to their church, mosque or temple in America! https://t.co/c3pXyH1xCc — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. @RepDonaldPayne

Today, I met with W. Greg Kierce, director of Jersey City's Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security to discuss how we can prevent attacks like the Jersey City shooting from happening in the future. We must keep our citizens safe from terrorism! https://t.co/cnBJ6X33Ov — PolitiTweet.org

Since my father, Congressman Donald Payne, Sr. passed away from colon cancer, I wanted to introduce a bill to make it easier for others to get screened and treated for this horrible disease. I was delighted when the House passed my bill last month. https://t.co/ts6oTylpVO https://t.co/hK1OhncUhT — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. @RepDonaldPayne

One year ago, I was proud to cosponsor the Bipartisan Background Checks Act (H.R. 8). As the shooting in Jersey City proved, our communities deserve to feel safer from gun violence. It’s time for Leader McConnell to put this bill up for a vote. #Enoughisenough https://t.co/DSmScCBwnn — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. @RepDonaldPayne

I wanted to praise all the unsung heroes of Jersey City, such as Sgt. Majorie Jordan and Anayah Bey, who risked their lives to help others. Please let me know of any other individuals who did the same. Watch my House floor speech here: https://t.co/mQRwNmnbqp https://t.co/aE30kBC9hM — PolitiTweet.org

My deepest sympathies and prayers to the people of Puerto Rico! The island was hit with its largest earthquake in 100 years yesterday and almost 1,000 tremors in the last week. They are American citizens and need all the help we can give them. https://t.co/1GOOZi5lLq — PolitiTweet.org

I enjoyed my meeting with Juneann George, Dee Marshall and other supporters of Diverse & Engaged to discuss diversity opportunities for women and minorities. https://t.co/uL1pdKrvrT — PolitiTweet.org

Great news! The New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency has awarded almost $11 million in tax credits to help create or improve eight affordable housing projects in our 10th Congressional district. I want to thank the agency for selecting these projects. https://t.co/tXIPFFYPft — PolitiTweet.org

Although Julian Castro ended his presidential campaign today, I commend him for the policies he championed, such as gun background checks, immigration reform, and universal pre-K education. I hope other candidates continue his fight. https://t.co/DrAO2Nu3jz https://t.co/DI1ux1Etsr — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. @RepDonaldPayne

Congratulations to my great friend and colleague Rep. Barbara Lee on her recent wedding! On New Year's Eve, Rep. Lee married Rev. Dr. Clyde W. Oden, Jr. and I could not be happier for her. Her life story is an inspiration and I wish her all the happiness in the world. https://t.co/25tJAbLy4a — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations to Michele Delisfort on her re-election as Mayor of Union, N.J.! She is a dedicated public servant and a great civic leader. If you have yet to meet her, she is the first person to my left (or third from the right of the photo). https://t.co/cCfqXTtzST — PolitiTweet.org

I was deeply saddened to learn that my mentor and colleague, Congressman John Lewis, has pancreatic cancer. I hope and pray he has a complete and speedy recovery. Please join me in wishing him the same. Thank you. @repjohnlewis https://t.co/EzckDYdbKL — PolitiTweet.org

I was sickened to learn of the deaths of two parishioners in a Texas church last weekend. Guns have no place in a house of worship! It is not okay that we live in a country where we must have armed guards at churches and other religious sites. https://t.co/B03CCca8SS https://t.co/BZMCagtGZu — PolitiTweet.org

Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. @RepDonaldPayne

My thoughts and prayers to the victims of the terrible Hanukkah stabbings in Monsey, NY. While officials said it wasn't an anti-Semitic attack, we need to find solutions to that issue as well as mental illness in our African American communities. https://t.co/2fMGbUkKLD — PolitiTweet.org
