Rep. Frank Pallone, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 6th district, has expressed his concerns on various political issues through a series of tweets. His comments reflect his stance on healthcare, tax policy, and federal agency independence.
On February 19, 2025, Rep. Pallone tweeted about the potential impact of Republican policies on Medicaid: "Republicans are scheming to gut Medicaid (jeopardizing care for 1.7M in NJ) all to bankroll tax windfalls for billionaires." He highlighted his visit to Central Jersey Medical Center where he witnessed the implications for seniors, children, and people with disabilities.
Later that day, Pallone criticized giving access to the IRS to certain individuals: "Giving Musk and his minions access to the IRS is like hiring known grifters to audit the national treasury—except the ledger holds the financial secrets of millions." He described this move as a "heist in progress."
In another tweet from February 19, Pallone addressed actions by former President Trump: "Another dangerous power grab from Trump – this time aimed at destroying independent federal agencies." He linked these actions to Trump's Project 2025 agenda.
