Representative Frank Pallone, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 6th district, shared several updates via social media on November 25, 2024. The posts covered topics from financial regulatory concerns to infrastructure developments related to storm resilience.

On November 25, 2024, Rep. Pallone expressed concerns about potential changes to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). He stated that the agency was created "in the wake of the Great Recession to protect people from unfair, deceptive or predatory financial practices." However, he warned that "once Trump takes office he's unfortunately likely going to gut CFPB to help his corporate friends at the expense of the American people." The full post can be viewed here.

At 16:35 UTC on November 25, he tweeted about the launch of "the final phase of the Port Monmouth Floodwall & Levee System—a $61.8M milestone in storm resilience post-Superstorm Sandy."
