April is Autism Awareness Month!

New Jersey has the highest rate of autism in the nation. With my #AutismCARES Act, we’ve been expanding and improving federal investments for individuals with autism across the country.

14 years ago, the Affordable Care Act became law, ensuring pre-existing conditions no longer prevented Americans from receiving coverage.

Despite relentless Republican attacks, it remains a transformative law that expanded access to quality healthcare for millions.

This morning, I proudly voted for the bipartisan National Security Act of 2024 in support of our allies in Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific, and which would also provide critical humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.

Ukraine's future is in NATO and it's critical to map out what every step of that future looks like.

We must ensure it is not just merely an invitation without a long term opportunity. It must be something more substantial.

Today begins #BlackHistoryMonth , when we recognize Black Americans, their enormous contributions to the history, present, and future of our country, and their heroic struggles to make our nation a more perfect Union.

One year ago, I stood alongside President Biden and my colleagues to announce historic funding for the Gateway Tunnel Project.
