Rep. Frank Pallone, who has been serving in the U.S. Congress representing New Jersey's 6th district since 1988, shared his views on recent actions by the Trump administration through a series of tweets on March 12, 2025.

In his first tweet posted at 17:40 UTC, Pallone criticized the current state of the White House under Trump's leadership. He remarked, "It’s honestly embarrassing for our country that the Trump White House has now been reduced to nothing more than a car dealership."

Later that day at 18:57 UTC, Pallone expressed concern over changes to student aid programs affecting New Jersey residents. He stated, "Trump is dismantling student aid as we know it in NJ: Pell Grants slashed – 143,000+ students impacted Work-study & aid wiped out – 48,000 students lose support University cancer research funding cut – 120,000 patients affected TRIO & SAVE programs gutted – Thousands…"

At 20:46 UTC on the same day, Pallone addressed issues related to fraud prevention and healthcare funding cuts. He commented that while Republicans claim to fight waste and fraud, their actions suggest otherwise. He tweeted, "The Trump Admin is closing the offices that help stop fraud while Republicans claim to want to root out waste, fraud, and abuse. The real fraud is Republicans lying to the American public about cutting your health care to pay for tax cuts for billionaires and big corporations."
