The Stock Market Game — Capitol Hill Challenge is a great way to learn about financial literacy. I was happy to be at Orange Preparatory Academy today to discuss the importance of compound interest!

This morning, my Transportation and Infrastructure Committee colleagues and I continued our examination of the Hudson tunnels.

🔊On Amtrak’s inspection train headed from D.C. through Newark to NYC, looking at where investments are needed. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Members will be headed through the tunnels under the Hudson, so we can discuss why we need the Gateway Program! 🚊 https://t.co/JIy06A6POZ — PolitiTweet.org

Marking Holocaust Remembrance Day just days after another synagogue shooting makes it painfully clear that violent anti-Semitism did not end with the defeat of Nazi Germany. More must be done to apply the lessons of the Holocaust and combat hatred and bigotry in all forms. — PolitiTweet.org

From Paris to Pittsburgh, the climate crisis affects everyone. It’s time to say “We are still in.” I’m proud to support H.R. 9, the #ClimateActionNow Act, which blocks Trump from pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Agreement. #ActOnClimate https://t.co/iNAq6y37zN — PolitiTweet.org

We're faced with a historic opportunity: to create a clean energy economy that provides good-paying jobs, cleaner air for our children & a safer climate for future generations. I support legislation blocking Trump from pulling us out of the Paris Agreement. #ClimateActionNow — PolitiTweet.org

I'm in a Homeland Security Committee hearing, listening to administration officials discuss whether vacancies at the top of DHS are harming preparedness. Needless to say, I'm not impressed with the Trump administration's handling of DHS vacancies. We need leadership at the top. https://t.co/Oa3rE0zib7 — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday, I spoke on the House Floor in opposition to the Trump administration's Title X Gag Rule, which will detrimentally harm women's health in the United States. https://t.co/qRc68wUlRD — PolitiTweet.org

This morning, I'm in a Homeland Security subcommittee hearing on The Impacts of Trump Policies on Border Communities. We have to move forward with evidence-based, humane border policies that respect the nation's laws and preserve human dignity. https://t.co/yRy3eJsRQk — PolitiTweet.org

White supremacy and anti-Semitism are plaguing our nation. The Poway synagogue shooting is another heartbreaking example of the plague of hate that has penetrated into the deepest sanctuaries of American life. My heart breaks for the victims. — PolitiTweet.org

This afternoon, I sat down with students from St. Peter's University to discuss marijuana reform, mass incarceration, and wrongful convictions.

This morning, I joined Planned Parenthood for a round table to discuss the unethical Title X gag rule. By prohibiting medical caregivers from making decisions in the best interest of patients, the Gag Rule puts lives at risk. https://t.co/LZgvlQZRBa — PolitiTweet.org

Today, I led a letter from the New Jersey congressional delegation expressing our deep concern with FEMA cuts to security grants for the Newark/Jersey City area. These grants help keep New Jerseyans safe, and they should be funded at least at 2018 levels. https://t.co/kVXyqprsyg — PolitiTweet.org

@realDonaldTrump Well, it starts with subpoenaing the full Mueller Report, unredacted and with all underlying documents. Then, Congress exercises oversight. Impeachment is one of the tools in our constitutional oversight toolbox. — PolitiTweet.org
