Last night at the Pentagon, President Trump and Secretary Hegseth dismantled a core principle of American democracy: the apolitical military.

In the United States Armed Forces, you swear an oath to the Constitution — not a person, not a political party.

Ignoring the guidelines and firing JAGs suggests the administration is attempting to build a military of loyalists focused less on our safety and more on loyalty to MAGA and Trump.

Trump and Hegseth are trying to gut the military’s leadership so they can use the armed forces to carry out their personal, political agenda.

We should protect people in New Jersey, especially with the Constitution.

I still want to see better communication and be assured that all of the government agencies have come together.

It can't take a month for people to get the equipment on the ground we need.

We have like 1980s-era policies to combat a current threat, and that's not acceptable.

I think what we know today is that this was going on for really a month until it seemed as if we started to get some responses.

Today I missed a vote on the House Floor. Had I been present, I would have voted: YEA on Roll Call No. 344, the Democratic Motion to Recommit on H.R. 8281. Stated against:

This situation is completely unacceptable.

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 5- minute vote on the motion to recommit will be followed by a 5-minute vote on passage of the bill, if…

I have a motion to recommit at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to recommit. The Clerk read as follows: Ms. Sherrill of New Jersey moves to recommit the bill H.R. 8070 to the Committee on Armed Services…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The CHAIR (Mr. McClintock). The gentlewoman from New Jersey has 2 minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from Texas has 2\1/2\ minutes remaining.

Many of my colleagues across the aisle are not content with delaying necessary aid to Ukraine for months at the cost of countless innocent lives, but are once again playing right into Putin's hands and attempting to block all American…

Amendments like this cheapen the National Defense Authorization Act. They make America look weak. They demean this body. This isn't the only one. Once again, this majority has chosen not to treat matters of national security with the…

I think first I have to see some leadership from the speaker. I've not seen that yet.

It's really shocking to watch your report and to think that there are these people like Marjorie Taylor Greene on the right that are pro-Putin, that are -- that are pro-Russia.

I think the Ukrainians have shown as time and time again that with our support, they can be incredibly successful. So, you know, time is of the essence.

I think what's on the table right now is will Speaker Johnson get this supplemental package passed. That's what is most important to me, is the substance of that.

Yesterday President Biden announced significant new funding for passenger rail projects across New Jersey and the Northeast region, first and foremost for the Gateway Program that is the Nation's most critical infrastructure project. It is…

It's really critically important that we support the Ukrainians in their fight here.

Unfortunately, former President Trump has encouraged members to shut down the government.
