Rep. Frank Pallone, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 6th district, shared several tweets on January 22, 2025, addressing environmental protection and justice issues. Pallone, who has been in office since replacing James J. Howard in 1988, is known for his advocacy on these matters.

In a tweet posted at 17:10 UTC, Rep. Pallone highlighted the permanent protection of East Coast shores from offshore drilling efforts. He attributed this achievement to "decades of work" and emphasized that survivors of Hurricane Sandy would not be required to repay disaster aid used for rebuilding efforts.

Shortly after, at 17:10 UTC, Pallone provided a link for readers to access his op-ed published in the Asbury Park Press.

Later in the day, at 19:14 UTC, Rep. Pallone paid tribute to Officer Sicknick from Middlesex County, describing him as an "American hero" who died protecting democracy. He criticized former President Trump's pardons for individuals involved in the violence leading to Sicknick's death as an affront to justice and an insult to the officer's family.
