Rep. Frank Pallone, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 6th district, has expressed his concerns through a series of tweets on November 20, 2024. His posts address issues related to proposed policy changes by former President Trump and their potential impacts on American citizens.

In his first tweet at 16:10 UTC, Pallone criticized Trump's plans to reduce Medicaid and food aid. He stated, "Here we go again. Trump wants to slash Medicaid and food aid—lifelines for over 70 million Americans—to pay for more elite billionaire tax breaks. Cutting support for the poor to benefit the mega rich is obscene."

Later that day at 17:23 UTC, Pallone addressed concerns about student loan payments in another tweet. He warned that "Over 8 million borrowers—including many in NJ—could face skyrocketing student loan payments if Trump & the GOP scrap President Biden’s Save plan. Households struggling financially can’t afford this."

Finally, at 20:27 UTC, Pallone commented on Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s potential role at the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). He stated that "RFK Jr. at HHS is a threat to our kids’ health. He could gut vaccine recommendations, slow critical approvals, and amplify fear over science." expressing concern about misinformation and delays affecting children's health.
