There’s no greater way to show gratitude for your loved ones than by keeping them safe.
This Thanksgiving, we urge everyone to only gather around the table with people who live in your household.
The smaller the gathering, the safer we are.
So proud of our hard work to make New Jersey the FIRST STATE IN THE NATION to incorporate climate change education across our K-12 learning standards. Thank you

Reproductive rights are human rights.
Here in New Jersey the Freedom of Reproductive Choice Act is the law of the land, and will remain so.
Tonight, I will join
@PPMetroNJ
at a rally in Montclair to say – loud and clear – that we will NOT go backwards.
One year ago today, we made history as New Jersey became the FIRST – and so far ONLY – STATE IN THE NATION to incorporate climate change education across our K-12 learning standards! 🌎
Responsibly soaking up the sun in Seaside Heights with

after a great run through Seaside Park! Remember to wear your face covering, keep your social distances, and wash your hands as you enjoy Father’s Day weekend ☀️
Tonight, with love in our hearts, we lit a candle at
@DrumthwacketNJ
in honor of the 400,000 Americans we’ve lost to COVID-19.
After a year of unimaginable pain and loss, let us come together as one nation to mourn, remember, and heal.

Today,
@SecondGentleman
and I visited a COVID-19 vaccination site at East Side High School in Newark as more New Jerseyans rolled up their sleeves to get the shot. Every dose gets us closer to the brighter days ahead. Get yours:
This is my father,
@USAirforce
Staff Sgt. Ed Snyder.
And this is my Uncle Leslie, killed in WWII when after plane was shot down over France.
My father and uncle were heroes – not losers or suckers.
@GovMurphy
and I salute all who wear their uniform to protect our democracy.
Ordered takeout for dinner last night from one of our favorite restaurants. Please remember to support your local businesses during this time. We’re all in this together.
It’s not too late to decide to stay home for Thanksgiving.
After the difficulty of 2020, it’s heartbreaking to change traditions, but staying home this year is the best way to protect your loved ones and ensure we can all safely gather next year. 🦃 ❤️
@fred_guttenberg
Unfathomable. You are a wonderful person, activist and inspiration. Phil and I will continue to support you in memory of Jaime.
#OrangeWaveInNovember
Remember:
#COVID19
doesn’t take holiday weekends off. 🙅♀️
Please wear a mask, wash your hands, and practice social distancing this Labor Day weekend to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your fellow New Jerseyans. 😷
Let's stay

Today, as I received my first dose of the

Hope – for the brighter days ahead.

Today, I tested positive for COVID-19. I’m very grateful for all the well wishes.
Thankfully, I’m vaccinated and boosted and currently asymptomatic.
Take this as an opportunity to protect yourself – get vaccinated, boosted, wear a mask, and stay safe:
Pregnant mothers can now have a doula in addition to a support person for the entire duration of their hospital stay.
Doulas are a critical part of

All moved in to college and ready for the next adventure!
Even though he is our fourth to go off to college, the goodbyes never get any easier. We are so proud of our Sam and excited for his year ahead!
Time to return home as two empty nesters!
Proudly introducing the newest member of our family, Morty Murphy!
Morty is one of 4,000 beagles rescued from the Envigo breeding and research facility and in need of a new home.
He is settling in and already enjoying much deserved snuggles and treats. Welcome home, Morty! 🐾
Phil’s surgery was a success! Phil, the kids, and I cannot thank everyone enough for the tremendous outpouring of support we’ve received at this challenging time. We are so very grateful. And we know that Phil will jump back into the thick of things in no time!

That’s better than the national average of 58.7%! 🙌
But we can do better, Jersey! 💪

This is not the year for a large family gathering, with loved ones coming from out-of-state, or for you to travel out-of-state.
This is the year for a small gathering with just your immediate family bubble.

#ClimateWeek2020
The future of Roe v. Wade is the most uncertain it’s been since 1973.
In New Jersey, we refuse to go backwards.
We MUST pass legislation codifying women’s full reproductive rights into state law.
#YourBodyBelongsToYou
Tonight, I rallied in Montclair with
@PPMetroNJ
,
@RepSherrill
, and
@RepDonaldPayne
to defend reproductive freedom.
While New Jersey proudly moves forward, we must also stand up and demand that every American woman has the same freedom that every New Jersey woman has.
Rising seas. Superstorms. Record temperatures.
We MUST ensure that our children are prepared to tackle climate change.
Thank you,
@LeoDiCaprio
, for your support of NJ’s first-in-the-nation K-12 climate change education standards.

No matter the political climate, raising awareness on matters & speaking up makes a difference. Our successful effort last year to stop
#Trumpcare
proved that. The more
#MaternalJustice
stories shared, the harder it is for any elected official to look away.
On what would be his 93rd birthday, my dad would say, “Tammy, no matter how dark the day you can always count on the sun rising tomorrow!” I love and miss you every day, Dad.
There is no family stronger than our 9 million person New Jersey family.
Let’s dig down and support one another as we navigate the days ahead together. Support your local restaurants as they scale back and adjust by purchasing a gift card or ordering take-out!
Happy 🍀 Day!
