Democrat,
Trump’s budget drops the mask [[link removed]] : it’s a full-on attack on working families. He’s gutting Medicaid by hundreds of millions, slashing over $4 billion from public education, and even cutting nearly $2.5 billion meant to keep our water clean. And don’t worry—he didn’t forget housing, rural broadband, or preschool programs. In New Jersey, that means fewer doctors, fewer teachers, and a whole lot more families left hanging. This is not “fiscal responsibility.” He’s putting his billionaire friends over New Jersey working families.
In this week’s newsletter, we break down the real cost of Trump’s Medicaid cuts, debunk his gaslighting on mental health, and show how Jersey Democrats are holding the line for our communities.
— Chairman LeRoy J. Jones, Jr.

Trump’s latest executive order [[link removed]] fast-tracks FDA drug approvals. Translation? Let’s ignore the health experts and their rigorous testing to rush medications to the market. Instead of letting scientists lead, he claims he’s boosting American drugmakers—but in reality, he’s handing the reins to Big Pharma and sidelining safeguards, putting profits ahead of public safety.

Claim:
Trump signed a proclamation recognizing May as Mental Health Awareness Month (Watch it here [[link removed]] ).
The Truth:
Signing a proclamation means nothing when he is simultaneously slashing billions in funding [[link removed]] for mental health and addiction treatment.
Impact on New Jersey:
New Jersey depends on that federal funding for mental health programs in schools, communities, and addiction services—programs now on the chopping block because of Trump’s hypocrisy.

New Jersey Democrats are protecting election integrity [[link removed]] by maintaining one of the most secure and transparent voter registration systems in the country—backed by regular voter roll cleanups, automatic cross-agency updates, and strict county-level oversight. While Trump and his allies peddle conspiracy theories, we’re making sure every eligible vote counts and every ineligible one doesn’t.
