Rep. Frank Pallone, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 6th district, recently shared updates and announcements through a series of tweets. Pallone, who has been in office since 1988 after succeeding James J. Howard, provided insights into his weekly activities and significant legislative developments.

On December 6, 2024, Rep. Pallone invited his followers to join him for his weekly update via a tweet stating: "Join me now for my weekly update! Tune in here: https://t.co/MVoT5Nk60G".

Later that day, at 20:33 UTC, he commented on a recent court decision regarding TikTok legislation: "The court's decision to uphold our bipartisan TikTok divestiture law is a critical step to protect Americans' data & national security. We must ensure foreign adversaries can’t exploit platforms to manipulate content or collect sensitive info." This reflects ongoing efforts to safeguard national security and data privacy.

In another announcement made on December 6 at 22:11 UTC, Pallone expressed pride in securing federal funding for local safety initiatives: "Proud to announce $150,000 in federal funding to support public safety in Neptune and Perth Amboy. This funding, secured through the Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program, will empower local law enforcement with the tools and resources they need to keep our communities safe."
