Rep. Jerry Nadler, a long-serving U.S. Congressman representing New York’s 12th district, used his social media platform on August 7, 2025, to criticize actions by the Trump Administration and address constitutional concerns regarding the census.
In a post published at 13:38 UTC, Nadler expressed strong opposition to a reported move by the Trump Administration affecting unionized workers: “This move by the Trump Administration to cancel union contracts for thousands of employees is a total disgrace.

Nadler has represented New York’s 12th congressional district since 1992 after succeeding Ted Weiss and previously served in the New York State Assembly from 1977 to 1992. He was born in New York City in 1947 and resides in Manhattan. His educational background includes degrees from Columbia University (BA) and Fordham University (JD).
The issues referenced by Nadler pertain to ongoing debates about federal labor policy and constitutional requirements for conducting an accurate decennial census of all residents within U.S. borders.
