Senator Andy Kim, a U.S. Congressman representing New Jersey’s 3rd district since 2019, posted a series of tweets on February 13, 2026, addressing the deployment of the National Guard in Washington D.C., federal spending on immigration policy, and former President Donald Trump’s influence in New Jersey.
In his first tweet at 18:56 UTC, Kim expressed concern about military presence in civilian areas: “Seeing the military in our streets in not normal. Here’s what @sengarypeters and I found in our @hsgac report on what Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in DC is costing YOU.”
Later that evening at 21:59 UTC, he criticized federal funding priorities regarding immigration policy: “$38.3 billion for a dumb and cruel immigration policy that doesn’t work. The next time they tell you we don’t have money for healthcare or education or actual public safety, remember it’s going to this absolute waste.”
At 22:10 UTC, Kim commented on recent developments involving former President Trump and their impact on New Jersey: “This is good news, but why did we go through this in the first place? Because Donald Trump had a tantrum? He should keep his ego out of our state and let New Jersey get back to work.”
Andy Kim has represented New Jersey’s 3rd District since defeating Tom MacArthur in 2019. Born in Boston in 1982 and currently residing in Moorestown, Kim holds degrees from Deep Springs College (2002) and the University of Chicago (2004). His recent statements come amid ongoing national debates over federal spending priorities and executive actions affecting states like New Jersey.
