Rep. Frank Pallone, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey’s 6th district, has voiced his concerns over several issues via social media. On February 11, 2025, Pallone took to Twitter to express his disapproval of actions taken by former President Donald Trump and their implications on various sectors.

On February 11, 2025, Rep. Frank Pallone tweeted about the impact of Trump's funding freeze on farmers: "Trump promised his funding freeze wouldn’t hit individuals—but farmers are now on the hook for millions. Solar panels, fencing, water systems—projects they signed contracts for, with @USDA guarantees, now left unpaid. Just another Trump scam: bait, switch, and leave Americans…"

Later that day at 19:52 UTC, he addressed concerns regarding higher education in New Jersey in a conversation with Rutgers University Chancellor Francine Conway: "Spoke with @RutgersU New Brunswick Chancellor Francine Conway about the threats that the Trump Admin poses to higher education and people in New Jersey. I reiterated my strong support for Rutgers' mission and vowed to continue to fight back against Trump's lawlessness."

At 21:34 UTC on the same day, Pallone criticized efforts by Trump related to NOAA and emphasized reliance on scientific evidence over opinions from wealthy individuals such as Elon Musk: "Trump's efforts to disrupt and dismantle NOAA are dangerous and corrupt. The bottom line is we need to rely on the science not the half-baked opinions of billionaires like Elon Musk."
