Rep. Josh Gottheimer, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, has recently shared several initiatives and concerns through his social media platform. His posts cover a range of topics including support for first responders, legislative efforts to enhance community safety, and national security issues related to technology.

On March 3, 2025, Rep. Gottheimer announced the reintroduction of the bipartisan FIRE Cancer Act. He emphasized his commitment to supporting first responders by ensuring that firefighters have access to cancer screenings without any financial burden. "Our first responders always get our backs, and I’ll always have theirs. That’s why I’m reintroducing the bipartisan FIRE Cancer Act."

Later that day, Rep. Gottheimer attended the International Association of Firefighters legislative summit where he expressed gratitude towards firefighters for their daily sacrifices. He highlighted the importance of supporting those who protect communities and contribute to making neighborhoods safe places to live and raise families. "Today, I joined the International Association of Firefighters legislative summit to thank our brave first responders who put their lives on the line every day."

In another post on March 3, 2025, Rep. Gottheimer addressed concerns regarding national security and disinformation spread by foreign entities like the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). He is leading a bipartisan effort alongside Representative LaHood to urge governors nationwide to ban DeepSeek from government devices as a protective measure against technological threats. "The CCP has a clear record of leveraging technology to spew disinformation and undermine our democracy."
