Frank Pallone, a U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey's 6th district, expressed his concerns about former President Donald Trump's recent actions in a series of tweets on March 24, 2025. Pallone, who has served in Congress since 1988 and previously held a position in the New Jersey Senate, voiced his opposition to several policies and decisions made by Trump.

In a tweet posted at 16:36 UTC on March 24, Pallone criticized Trump's alleged plan to significantly reduce the Department of Education. "Trump’s illegal plan to gut the Dept. of Education will force NJ towns to raise property taxes just to keep schools open," he wrote. Pallone mentioned leading New Jersey House Democrats in issuing a letter warning that dismantling public education would negatively impact students, teachers, and taxpayers.

Later that day at 17:26 UTC, Pallone commented on Trump's decision to promote his personal attorney as the state's top prosecutor. "Trump is elevating his personal attorney to be the top prosecutor in our state only because he’s looking for lackeys who will happily do whatever he wants including breaking the law for him," Pallone tweeted.

In another tweet at 17:38 UTC, Pallone accused Trump of corruption regarding a business practice involving corporate sponsorships during an Easter event at the White House. He stated, "Most. Corrupt. President. In. History. Trump is charging corporations up to $200,000 to slap logos on kids’ Easter baskets at the White House." He further criticized what he perceives as commercialization under Trump's administration by saying, "In Trump’s America, everything has a price tag — even the Easter Bunny."
