Representative Josh Gottheimer has recently voiced his concerns on various issues through a series of tweets. His statements, posted on March 5, 2025, criticize actions by the President and express disapproval of former President Donald Trump's stance on international matters.

In a tweet posted at 03:04:41 UTC, Rep. Gottheimer questioned the President's decision to terminate 7,000 workers from the Social Security Administration. He remarked, "The President said he wants to root out fraud and abuse at the Social Security Administration. How does firing 7,000 workers help with that? This reckless move will only delay critical benefit checks for Jersey seniors."

At 03:38:06 UTC, another tweet highlighted his discontent with workforce reductions affecting veterans. He stated, "If the President actually cared about getting the backs of our troops, he wouldn’t fire thousands of employees at the VA and thousands more veterans working across the federal government. I’ll never stop fighting for our service members at home and around the country who work…"

In a subsequent tweet made at 03:49:32 UTC, Gottheimer criticized former President Trump for his relationship with Russian leader Vladimir Putin amidst ongoing tensions in Ukraine. He commented, "It is shameful that Trump continues to cozy up to Vladimir Putin, a brutal dictator who invaded Ukraine. We must stay on the right side of history and stand with Ukraine in its fight to preserve its freedom & democracy."
