Rep. Frank Pallone, a U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey's 6th district, recently shared a series of tweets addressing key geopolitical and domestic policy issues. Pallone, who has a long-standing tenure in Congress since 1988, highlighted his perspectives and ongoing political concerns in posts made on April 9, 2025.

On the subject of international diplomacy, Pallone urged increased U.S. involvement in peace negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan in a tweet posted on April 9, 2025. He stated, "Led a letter to @SecRubio encouraging the United States to increase its engagement in the peace negotiations between Armenia and Azerbaijan. The U.S. has the great opportunity to secure a just, lasting peace in the region that protects Armenian sovereignty and doesn't bow to".

Turning to domestic issues, Pallone expressed concern over a proposal by former President Donald Trump to abolish the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In a tweet posted on April 9, 2025, he remarked, "Trump is trying to abolish FEMA -- shifting the cost of disaster prevention and recovery onto states and towns. Cutting storm protection projects won’t save money. It’ll just stick local taxpayers with the bill.".

In another post on the same day, Pallone addressed the firings and shutdowns allegedly being orchestrated by Trump and Elon Musk. His tweet read, "Trump and Musk are mass-firing staff, trying to cut off phone service, and closing down SSA offices. They're denying people access to their social security to give tax breaks for billionaires. It's a gross betrayal of every American who was hoping to retire in dignity after".
