Rep. Frank Pallone, who has represented New Jersey’s 6th district in the U.S. Congress since 1988, recently posted a series of updates on his social media account regarding current political events and his ongoing legislative work.
On October 17, 2025, Pallone invited followers to engage with his latest update by posting: “Join me now for my weekly update! https://t.co/n5AlOCacnL”.
The following day, October 18, he commented on the ongoing government shutdown and criticized former President Donald Trump’s role in the situation: “It’s DAY 18 of the REPUBLICAN RETREAT.
Trump is trying to turn our cherished democracy into an autocracy, and he’s using his shutdown as one of his tools.
Today, the American people are saying NO. #NoKings https://t.co/kreUxCOrnF“.
Later that same day, Pallone directed a pointed message at Senator JD Vance with a brief post: “This you @JDVance ? https://t.co/j6k8GtTOLa https://t.co/j2yKNRygnL”.

Born in Long Branch, New Jersey in 1951, Pallone is currently 71 years old and continues to reside there. He graduated from Middlebury College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1973 and earned a Juris Doctor from Rutgers University-Camden in 1978.
