Rep. Frank Pallone, currently serving in the U.S. Congress and representing New Jersey's 6th district, recently shared his views on international and domestic issues through a series of tweets. His statements covered topics ranging from international conflict to constitutional authority and judicial decisions.

On November 27, 2024, Pallone commented on the recent ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah. He stated, "A ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah is welcome news but the U.S. must keep working to ensure this agreement holds and Israel's civilians can safely return to their homes without fear of any additional attacks."

Later that day, Pallone addressed concerns about the balance of power within the U.S. government. On November 27, 2024, he emphasized the importance of congressional oversight by saying, "Our system was created with checks and balances to prevent us from descending into authoritarianism. Congress must assert its constitutional authority to ensure Trump does not expand Presidential power beyond what the founders intended."

In another statement made on November 28, 2024, Pallone criticized the Supreme Court's stance regarding presidential immunity from prosecution. He expressed his disapproval by stating, "Trump won't face any consequences for his actions, including Jan 6. All thanks to his hand-picked Supreme Court who have already said that presidents are immune from prosecution." Presidents are not dictators. They should not be above the law.
