Jerry Nadler, a longstanding member of the U.S. Congress representing New York’s 12th district since 1992, recently addressed several issues through social media. Known for his tenure in the New York State Assembly and his education at Columbia University and Fordham University, Nadler shared his concerns regarding staff changes in a federal program and ongoing university protests.

On May 7, 2025, Nadler expressed concern over staffing decisions related to the World Trade Center Health Program. “Now that these vital World Trade Center Health Program staffers have been rehired after I spoke out yesterday, the Trump Administration still owes answers: – Why did it fire these staff after promising not to? – Why did @HHSGov mislead the American people in this tweet?” His statement highlighted questions directed at both the Trump Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services regarding previous actions and communications.

Following this statement, on May 7, 2025, he further emphasized support for those affected by the events of September 11th. “Our 9/11 first responders and survivors deserve honesty, stability, and respect—not chaos and deception.” This underscores his commitment to advocating for transparency and reliability for those involved.

On May 8, 2025, Nadler issued a statement concerning recent protests at Columbia University. “My statement on the Columbia University protests yesterday:” Although details were not specified within the tweet itself, it indicates Nadler’s engagement with local educational institutions and their activities.
