Rep. Frank Pallone, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 6th district, has taken to social media to express his concerns on several pressing issues. Known for his tenure since 1988, Pallone's recent posts reflect his critical stance on current political decisions and public health challenges.

On March 7, 2025, Pallone voiced strong opposition to the Trump administration's immigration policy concerning Ukrainian refugees. He stated, "Trump is about to throw 240,000 Ukrainians to the wolves – ripping them from safety and sending them back to a warzone. This isn’t just cruel, it’s a betrayal of every promise America made. No ally, no refugee is safe under him."

Later that day, he criticized the administration's handling of inflation and rising prices in another tweet dated March 7, 2025. He remarked on what he perceives as inadequate solutions provided by the White House: "Funny how we heard so much about prices during Trump’s campaign. Now inflation is worse, and the White House’s answer to rising egg prices… backyard chickens."

In an additional post on March 7, 2025, Pallone addressed public health concerns amid a spreading measles outbreak affecting nine states and resulting in two fatalities. He urged for immediate action from his Republican counterparts: "The measles outbreak has now spread to nine states and tragically claimed the lives of two people. I’m calling on my Republican counterparts to hold a hearing with Secretary Kennedy ASAP on efforts to respond to the outbreak."
