Rep. Frank Pallone, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 6th district, took to social media on March 10, 2025, to express his concerns over Republican Medicaid cuts and other pressing issues. Pallone has been a vocal advocate for healthcare and human rights throughout his tenure since replacing James J. Howard in 1988.

On March 10, 2025, Rep. Pallone highlighted his visit to Children's Specialized Hospital, where he addressed Republican Medicaid cuts that could impact children's healthcare services. He stated: "Happening now: I’m at Children’s Specialized Hospital exposing Republican Medicaid cuts that rip health care from kids to fund tax breaks for billionaires." He emphasized the firsthand experiences of parents like Jamie Tower and Rachel Peace regarding these potential impacts.

Later that day, Pallone reiterated his stance against proposed Medicaid reductions by Republicans during another event at Children's Specialized Hospital. He declared: "Republicans want to gut Medicaid—ripping care from kids with autism, cerebral palsy, & rare diseases to fund tax breaks for billionaires." He mentioned that these cuts would strip $49 million from necessary healthcare services.

In another tweet posted on March 10, 2025, Rep. Pallone condemned the treatment of Edan Alexander by Hamas. Expressing outrage over Alexander's reported conditions during captivity, he wrote: "The barbaric treatment of Edan Alexander by Hamas is sickening." He called for efforts to secure the release of this American citizen.
