Rep. Frank Pallone, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 6th district, recently shared his thoughts on various issues via social media. His comments reflect concerns about local journalism, international relations, and governmental authority.
On February 2, 2025, Pallone remarked on the conclusion of an era as "the @StarLedger prints its final edition & the editorial board disbands." He emphasized that the editorial board had been instrumental in keeping New Jersey informed and accountable by exposing corporate corruption and ensuring political accountability.
Later that day, Pallone criticized certain foreign policy decisions made by former President Trump. At 21:34 UTC, he tweeted that "These chaotic moves do nothing to stop the flow of fentanyl, as Trump falsely claims," expressing concern over punitive measures towards Mexico and Canada while acknowledging the need for toughness on China.
In another post at 23:33 UTC on February 2nd, Pallone addressed issues surrounding government authority. He clarified that "DOGE is NOT a government agency!" asserting that unelected individuals should not have legal authority to seize government systems or records containing private information of U.S. citizens.
