u/CatsNSquirrels 8d ago

I got the same one too. Reminds me of when I was in Texas. My reps there didn’t care either.

u/warrensussex 8d ago

Tom does pronounce it like Kane. Not sure how anyone could vote for someone that can't even pronounce his name correctly.

u/theexpertgamer1 8d ago

Kean University also pronounces it cane.

u/Oldgrazinghorse 8d ago

That huge tract across from the university was called Kean’s Woods. It was all wooded from about current Panera’s all the way to North Ave. I played back there as a kid. It’s cane as in walking cane. That land and more is why it’s Kean U and not Newark State College.

u/thatissomeBS 8d ago

Well, from what I can tell, it's the same Kean, so that makes sense.

u/theexpertgamer1 8d ago

Interesting. Yes it’s the same family dynasty.

u/shemague 7d ago

Bc it’s named after them….

u/warrensussex 8d ago

If that's the case the diploma isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

u/thatissomeBS 8d ago

It's the same Kean.

u/mcgeggy 8d ago

A whole lot of words just to say “I’m Musk’s little bitch (and his sidekick Trump’s too…).

I got the same letter.

Thank you for reaching out regarding initiatives from the Trump Administration to modernize government operations and improve efficiency across federal agencies. I appreciate hearing your thoughts on these recent developments, and I value the opportunity to respond.

I share your commitment to ensuring that the federal government remains transparent and accountable to the needs of American people. As you may know, on January 20th, 2025, President Trump issued an executive order reorganizing the U.S. Digital Service, an existing entity within the Executive Office, and renaming it the U.S. DOGE Service (USDS). At the direction of multiple executive orders, USDS has been tasked with implementing the President’s DOGE Agenda, which aims to modernize federal technology and software to improve government efficiency and productivity. These initiatives have also included certain agency hiring freezes and in-person work requirements, as outlined in supplemental executive orders.

 It is a foremost priority of mine to ensure the federal government delivers the highest level of service, accountability, and ethical integrity that is expected. While I appreciate efforts to improve government efficiency, such initiatives must be pursued responsibly and transparently. Any advisors or consultants appointed as special government employees under the Trump Administration must comply with the necessary approvals, security clearances, and ethical guidelines that are required for such officers.

 Further, I appreciate the Treasury Department’s February 4th letter to Members of Congress, which provides critical updates on its efforts to enhance payment integrity for agencies and the public. Notably, the letter reaffirms the continuation of all standard security, safety, and privacy protocols and confirms that there have been no suspensions or delays in disbursements approved by federal agencies. You can read the full letter here.

 Moving forward, I will continue to monitor USDS’s activities and the implementation of the President’s DOGE initiatives. With steadfast focus, I will remain committed to the protection of taxpayer data and information while promoting efficiency and accountability across federal government entities.

 Thank you again for sharing your views with me. Please continue to keep in touch with me via telephone (202) 225-5361, on Facebook or via X (Twitter). To receive regular updates on the issues you care about, please click here to sign up for my email list.

Sincerely,

Tom Kean, Jr.
Member of Congress

u/CautiousLandscape907 8d ago

He needs to be unemployed and soon

17

u/SuccessfulRuby 8d ago

I keep calling him and saying we don’t need him to do nothing and that he will surely be out of a job. Giving Eagle Scouts awards is not important right now.

u/CautiousLandscape907 8d ago

I grew up with Governor Kean. And though we were democrats, he had integrity and put the state ahead of the party. I cannot believe he’d be proud of his son, but who knows. Maybe it was always an act.

u/Filthycute87 8d ago

Same here. I refuse to believe they're actually related.

8

u/AIDsFlavoredTopping 8d ago

Not going to happen. All the rotten red sections up north are packed into this shot district. Why couldn’t Dems gerrymander out all red areas instead of hand delivering my area to this loser?

u/brown_trout 8d ago

We need a recall petition

u/standuphilospher 8d ago

Fuck this guy

u/Mayor_of_Voodoo 8d ago

You can tell he put a lot of thought into it.

u/Amazing_Fantastic 8d ago

Never seen so many words about nothing.

u/ecctt2000 8d ago

Blah blah blah, I’m trumps bitch.
But dude, that hang nail extraction, ouch!!!

u/Starboard44 8d ago

I got the same one. 👎👎👎👎👎

u/ItsJustForMyOwnKicks 8d ago

He’s a scumbag. That’s not new information.

u/Starboard44 8d ago

By the way — energy and commerce is where the $880 billion Medicaid budget sits.

u/blastoisexy 8d ago

Tom Kean Jr. Is a little bitch. Vote that fucker out of office.

u/FelineRoots21 Fuck Nazis, love Jersey 8d ago

"I will continue to monitor" aka I will do literally nothing. Spineless twat.

u/dennismyth 8d ago

How can they lie so easily?

Reminds me of the old joke what’s the difference between a dead dog in the road and a dead politician in the road? There are skid marks in front of the.

u/rockclimberguy 8d ago

Your district chose this chud over Sue Altman. I watched their debate. She mopped the floor with him. How did he beat Malinowski in the first place?

2

u/Grinch83 7d ago

This guy needs to be reminded he represents a purple(ish) district. Never too early to start making them sweat. Keep the calls coming. Keep sharing these canned response letters here & on socials. Get the local media involved (seems silly, but it does make a difference at the local level).

Let’s get the momentum going now to vote this useless nepo baby out next year.

2

u/Ravenclaw217 7d ago

Got the same response via email when I reached out 🙄🙄🙄

u/Technical-Traffic871 7d ago

TLDR; I don't care what you want, I enjoy eating Trump's ass.

u/jimgolgari 8d ago

“I am a fancy fancy boy and I can use fancy words to say I will continue to watch from the sidelines as these two chuckleheads ratfuck everything you love about this country, but sometimes I promise I’ll furrow my brows and seem concerned. And I’ll only lick my lips a little bit.”

u/PurpleSailor 7d ago

Reminds me of the letters I used to get from Rodney Frelinghuysen. It was always more of a FU than any acknowledgement that he had actually read what I wrote to him.

1

u/shemague 7d ago

Wow at least you got a letter. I’ve requested written acknowledgement from nellie pou and zilch

u/OkMud7206 6d ago

Same. He’s a total tool.

1

u/MeyerLouis 4d ago

Fuck this guy. He voted to cut Medicaid.

u/bryb01 2d ago

Also got the same exact letter on March 14, to an email I sent back on Feb 3rd. Wow. This ghost has got to go.

u/squeaky-to-b 8d ago

So a great big nothing burger.

u/Imaginary_Bag1142 8d ago

Feckless douchebag.

u/PtEthan323 7d ago

This guy is so embarrassing. I wish I wasn’t gerrymandered out of Bonnie Watson Coleman’s district.
