Senator Andy Kim@kim.senate.govJan 10(source)

Today, @menendez.house.gov and I met with members of NJ’s Venezuelan community and asked them what they think about this administration’s actions. We owe them answers about Trump’s true motives and plans for their home country.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 9(source)

I couldn't leave DC this week without calling out House Republicans for their hypocrisy and imploring them to finally stand up for Americans.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 9(source)

I joined @repkimschrier.bsky.social and over 100 of our colleagues to demand the CDC restore the childhood immunization schedule. We will not allow this Administration to lead with fear or put our children at risk.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 9(source)

Rolling back critical vaccine recommendations from the immunization schedule is absolutely reckless and heightens fear among parents while threatening the health of our communities.

Rep. Kim Schrier, M.D.

I’m proud to lead 115 of my colleagues in urging him to uphold his oath to protect children's health by restoring the childhood vaccine schedule.

That’s why we’re taking action to fix the system, so these data centers - not our families - are accountable for their costs.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 9(source)

Your electric bills are rising... and AI data centers are a major reason why. While AI innovation is promising, we must ensure it's not happening at the expense of our communities.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of Republican efforts to increase ICE funding? Menendez: There should be no more money for ICE. There needs to be accountability for ICE. We need to do that before another fucking dollar is spent on them.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 8(source)

Heading on to the House Floor NOW to vote YES to extend ACA tax credits for three more years. Let’s get it done.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 8(source)

This moment calls on us to reject fear and to once again remember that the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice - and we are the ones who must be the force to ensure that it in fact bends towards justice.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 8(source)

They tried to gavel (aka silence) me but in this moment we cannot be silent, here’s what I said:

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 8(source)

With all the challenges we are facing as a nation, House Republicans are once again talking about and prioritizing…showerheads?! I went to the House floor to talk to them about it. Watch 👇

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 8(source)

Republicans don’t get to pretend this is business as usual when it comes to nuclear safety while Trump is making our communities less safe (including undermining the independent nuclear energy safety commission). 🤔 That's why I called them out in E&C ⬇️

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 7(source)

We all must hold ICE accountable - legislators and the public alike. We will keep fighting against Trump’s extreme actions that undermine the safety of everyone who calls this country home because there is no more dire consequence than what happened today.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 7(source)

Today is a tragic day, marked by a painful and preventable loss of life. Since Trump took office - and after what we experienced outside Delaney Hall - we have said that ICE's dangerous and reckless behavior should be a concern to all Americans because no one is safe in Trump’s America.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 7(source)

We will keep fighting against the Trump Administration's attempts to undermine the rights of everyone who calls this country home. Every single day.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 7(source)

Wishing everyone across our communities a joyous Three Kings Day! Today, we honor a beautiful tradition rooted in family and generosity. May this day bring peace, hope, and happiness to all who celebrate.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 7(source)

If Speaker Johnson won’t honor the officers who defended the Capitol on January 6, including the NJ State Police, we will. We must continue to confront extremism, strengthen our democratic institutions, and work to unite our country.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 7(source)

Five years ago today, violent insurrectionists spurred on by Trump attempted to overthrow our democracy. Since then, both our country, and many of the individuals who were there that day, have continued to live with the consequences.
