Frank Pallone, a longstanding U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey's 6th district, has recently expressed his concerns on various political issues through a series of tweets. Pallone, who has served in Congress since 1988 and previously in the New Jersey Senate, addressed topics ranging from international relations to domestic healthcare programs.

On February 19, 2025, Pallone criticized former President Donald Trump for his actions regarding Ukraine. "Trump, who tried to overturn a US election, is attacking Ukraine’s democratically elected president while his henchmen meet with Russian officials without Ukraine at the table," he stated. He further accused Trump of continuing to support Russian interests, saying "The man impeached for extorting Ukraine is again doing Putin’s bidding."

On February 20, 2025, Pallone highlighted Trump's decision impacting the World Trade Center Health Program. He stated that "Trump is gutting the World Trade Center Health Program, laying off workers who provide life-saving care to 9/11 responders and survivors." Expressing his commitment to those affected by this decision, he added "These heroes fought for us, and I’ll fight like hell to protect their care."

In another tweet on the same day, Pallone shared a personal story from one of his constituents about the challenges faced by 9/11 responders. He mentioned Frank Granger as an example of those impacted by cuts to healthcare services and emphasized that "The World Trade Center Health Program saves lives, and Trump’s reckless cuts have put it all at risk."
