Rep. Jerry Nadler, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing New York’s 12th district, has recently taken to social media to express his concerns on various national and international issues. His tweets address matters ranging from education and social services to international security.
On March 19, 2025, Rep. Nadler criticized the decision to eliminate the Institute of Museum and Library Services. He described this move as “an assault on education, opportunity, and the millions who rely on libraries.” Nadler expressed solidarity with public libraries nationwide in opposing what he termed a “reckless decision.” The original post can be found here.
Later that day, at 19:29 UTC, Nadler voiced his disapproval of actions attributed to former President Donald Trump and Elon Musk regarding Social Security services. He claimed they are “gutting Social Security customer service by trying to close field offices across the country & by laying off thousands of workers.” According to Nadler, these cuts will lead to increased wait times and travel times for Americans needing these services. He stated firmly that neither he nor the American people would stand for it. The tweet is available here.
In an international context, Rep. Nadler expressed concern over Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s actions later that evening at 22:10 UTC. He was disturbed by Netanyahu’s decision to abandon a ceasefire agreement and reintegrate Itamar Ben Gvir into the government as Minister of National Security. Nadler highlighted potential risks posed by this choice concerning the safety of hostages, including Americans involved in related conflicts. The full statement can be accessed here.
