Rep. Frank Pallone, a U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey’s 6th district since 1988, posted a series of tweets on March 11, 2026, addressing issues ranging from ticketing industry practices to health care policy and federal funding for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).
In his first tweet at 16:34 UTC, Pallone commented on former President Donald Trump’s stance regarding ticket pricing and industry monopolies. He wrote, “If Trump wants to bring relief to fans who’ve been fleeced for YEARS, he’d end Live Nation’s monopoly and urge the Senate to increase price transparency and end hidden fees with the TICKET Act that I advanced through my @EnergyCommerce committee last year. But as always—he’d”.
Later that day at 17:51 UTC, Pallone criticized the Trump administration’s approach to health care costs for Americans using the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace. He stated, “The Trump Admin continues to make health care more expensive for the 20 million Americans on the ACA marketplace. Today I am calling for Dr. Oz to abandon his proposed changes that would make ACA insurance less affordable, harder to get, and harder to keep.”
At 19:05 UTC on March 11, Pallone addressed congressional action related to TSA funding. He tweeted, “Democrats have a clean bill to fund TSA that Republicans refuse to take up. They’d rather create chaos for American travelers so they can shield Trump’s lawless ICE and Border Patrol from accountability.”
Pallone has served in Congress since replacing James J. Howard in 1988 after previously serving in the New Jersey Senate from 1984-1988. Born in Long Branch in 1951 and currently residing there at age 71, he holds degrees from Middlebury College (BA) and Rutgers University-Camden (JD).
