- Speaker Boehner’s my way or the highway approach to the fiscal cliff has crashed and burned. It’s time for him to abandon the extreme elements of his caucus who would rather see this country slip into another recession than raise taxes by one dime on millionaires. Republicans lost the election and now their fiscal plan has failed. It's time for them to listen to the voices of the American people. The Speaker must join with House Democrats and President Obama on finding a balanced way forward that asks millionaires to pay their fair share and reduce our deficit.
- Be sure to tune it to MSNBC at 2:00pm this afternoon as I join Tamron Hall to discuss the fiscal cliff negotiations between Speaker Boehner and President Obama.

- Joined Americans affected by recession and Ways and Means Committee colleagues to speak out about the importance of unemployment insurance. If Congress does not act, 119,600 people in New Jersey will stop receiving this vital help on Decemb...er 29th. Extending unemployment insurance doesn’t just help families in need, it promotes economic growth and job creation. As we work towards a deal we must not forget these families - we must pass an unemployment insurance extension.See More
- Tune in to MSNBC this afternoon at 2:30pm as I join host Craig Melvin to discuss the continued negotiations in Congress to avert drastic spending cuts and tax increases, or the "fiscal cliff", at the end of the year.
- Proud to stand with a bipartisan group of House colleagues in support of legislation to provide targeted tax relief to victims of Hurricane Sandy. We need to pass this bill as soon as possible.
- I was proud to join my brothers and sister with the New Jersey State AFL-CIO and SEIU this morning for a rally to urge Congress to extend middle class tax cuts and use the savings to avert drastic spending cuts to programs like Medicare and Medicaid.
- The $60.4 billion requested for Sandy aid will be critical in helping to rebuild a stronger New Jersey and to prepare us for the next storm. Although FEMA had enough resources to start the process of recovery, it's clear from the scale of destruction that this will be a costly recovery effort. Moonachie and Little Ferry were among the hardest hit communities in northern New Jersey and I am commit...ted to making sure they, and all affected communities, receive the federal funds they need to help them rebuild and assist families in putting their lives back together. I will be urging my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to come together in a bipartisan manner to act quickly on this legislation. While it is an important start to providing New Jersey the relief we need now, further legislative action will be necessary to help small businesses, private infrastructure and families. I will be working closely with my colleagues in the House on a proposal to address this soon.See More

- Joined a bipartisan group of our state's congressional delegation this morning for breakfast with leaders in the New Jersey AFL-CIO to discuss how we can best address the fiscal cliff without harming our middle class.
- Tune in to FOX News tomorrow morning at 10:30am as I join America's Newsroom with Bill Hemmer and Martha MacCallum to discuss what can be done to reach a compromise on the looming fiscal cliff.
- The Washington Post printed my Letter to the Editor this morning challenging an op-ed that proposed the elimination of the deduction for state and local taxes as a means of balancing the budget. New Jerseyans pay more than their fair share in taxes already, and trying to balance the budget on the backs of our middle class is not the answer.
- I'm looking forward to joining CNN's Soledad O’Brien tomorrow morning at 7:15am to discuss the fiscal cliff as Congress reconvenes after the Thanksgiving holiday. Be sure to tune in!
