Empire State Today

Rep. Jerry Nadler, currently serving in the U.S. Congress representing New York's 12th district, has recently shared his perspectives on several political issues through a series of tweets. His comments address infrastructure funding, reproductive rights legislation, and presidential pardons.

On January 23, 2025, Rep. Nadler criticized an executive order by former President Donald Trump that he claims is hindering states' access to resources for bridges and highways. He stated: "Days later, states are still struggling to access resources for bridges and highways, thanks to Donald Trump’s poorly crafted executive order freezing funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law." He emphasized that this issue requires immediate resolution.

The following day, January 24, 2025, Nadler commented on a Republican-led bill regarding medical decisions. He asserted: "Today’s Republican-led bill isn’t about protecting children; it’s about controlling women’s lives." Nadler argued that medical decisions should remain between individuals and their doctors rather than being influenced by politicians.

Later on January 24, 2025, Rep. Nadler expressed his disapproval of recent presidential pardons issued by Donald Trump. He remarked: "After shamefully pardoning 1/6 rioters who assaulted law enforcement, Donald Trump is now issuing pardons for people who violently forced their way into abortion clinics." He criticized these actions as an endorsement of extremism.
