Frank Pallone, a U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey’s 6th district since 1988, has been vocal on social media regarding issues related to Medicaid and Social Security. He replaced James J. Howard in Congress and previously served in the New Jersey Senate from 1984 to 1988. Born in Long Branch, New Jersey, Pallone holds degrees from Middlebury College and Rutgers University-Camden.
On February 18, 2025, Rep. Frank Pallone shared a link to his full statement via Twitter: “My full statement: https://t.co/Gh5mjDNP4m”.
The following day, February 19, 2025, he addressed claims concerning Medicaid and Social Security by stating: “This is a lie. Republicans on my committee are actively trying to slash at least $880 billion from Medicaid, and Elon Musk is raiding Social Security to gut benefits. Trump isn’t protecting these programs—he’s laying the groundwork to destroy them.”
Later that day, Pallone urged the public to watch live coverage of ongoing political developments with a focus on healthcare cuts proposed by Trump and Republican lawmakers: ” WATCH LIVE: Trump & Republicans want to slash Medicaid and gut community health centers just to give billionaires another tax break. The consequences for NJ families, seniors & people with disabilities would be devastating. I’m fighting back.”
