Empire State Today

Rep. Jerry Nadler, a long-serving member of the U.S. Congress representing New York's 12th district, has recently shared his thoughts on various topics through a series of tweets. Nadler, who has been in office since 1992 and holds degrees from Columbia University and Fordham University, addressed issues ranging from economic policies to historical remembrance.

On January 26, 2025, Rep. Nadler commented on the potential impact of former President Trump's decisions regarding repatriation flights: "The price of coffee may rise, and American exporters to Colombia could suffer—all because Trump used costly military planes for repatriation flights instead of the non-military ones used by Biden." He criticized Trump for actions he perceives as detrimental to both grocery prices and businesses.

In observance of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on January 27, 2025, Nadler tweeted: "This #InternationalHolocaustRememberanceDay, we honor the memory of the millions of lives lost in the Holocaust." He emphasized the ongoing threat antisemitism poses to Jewish communities worldwide and underscored the importance of remembering past atrocities.

Later that day, Nadler addressed social welfare policies under Trump's administration: "Work requirements for SNAP have never significantly improved employment numbers, but they do take away essential grocery money from low-income Americans." He argued that such policies fail to support job-seeking efforts among Americans while exacerbating food insecurity.
