This is absolutely shameful. My heart breaks for the families of the 21 immigrants killed on ICE's watch this year. These unsafe conditions at privately run, for-profit ICE facilities show a profound disregard for the well-being of mothers, fathers, sons & daughters.

Every child in New Jersey deserves an outstanding public education where they can learn and thrive. Grateful to Mayor Sires and local leaders for breaking ground on a new middle school in West New York and making this vision a reality.

At a time when energy bills are skyrocketing, the Trump Admin is cancelling clean energy projects in NJ & across the country. That's why I joined my colleagues in demanding DOE reinstate these projects that will lower electricity costs & increase grid reliability. NJ’s families depend on it.

SEEC Clean Energy Deployment Task Force Co-Chairs @levin.house.gov & @casten.house.gov led 163 Dems to demand that DOE reinstate $8B in projects that would lower electricity costs for all Americans. Trump's reckless energy policy only makes it more expensive for families to keep the lights on.

As we reflect on this fateful day, we must keep pushing to bring every hostage home, end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and secure an enduring peace for everyone in the region. I will forever be hopeful that we can achieve these goals and finally bring an end to this tragic conflict.

Today marks two years since the attack on Israel by Hamas - and two years of captivity for the remaining hostages.

Speaker Johnson, earlier today: "Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

It's Day 6 of the Republican-led government shutdown. House Democrats are holding the line, fighting for your healthcare and here to serve you.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govOct 6(source)

I look forward to continuing to support them & the incredible work they do in Hudson County and beyond.

📍North Hudson Community Action Corporation in Union City 📢 While Republicans work to cut Medicaid & make it harder for Americans to have access to affordable care, it's critical we stand up for our Federally Qualified Health Centers & protect the essential services millions rely on.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govOct 5(source)

This is why I fight so hard every day in Washington for all of you - mi gente. Privileged to represent the place I’ve always called home. 🙏

Since President Trump's inauguration, our office has been flooded with messages from constituents who are concerned about the harmful effects of the new administration's policies.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govOct 4(source)

It's Day 4 of the Republican shutdown & people across New Jersey are already feeling the impact, but not just from the shutdown, the Trump Admin has caused harm across our communities since Day 1 of his Administration. We want to hear from you. Your voice, & your story are important to our fight.

We are in day 3 of a government shutdown and the president is nowhere to be found. Anyone doing a wellness check?

My dear friend, Bill Pascrell, embodied the spirit of NJ & dedicated his life to fighting every day for what was right in his hometown of Paterson ("one t") & beyond. Grateful to Gov. Murphy for renaming Route 19 in his honor as a tribute to a man who gave everything to the community he loved.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govOct 3(source)

The GOP has no real healthcare plan - just cuts. As millions face higher premiums, the GOP offers ZERO alternative to lower costs or expand coverage. Their strategy? Slash programs & make families pay the price. Meanwhile, House Dems are working to protect healthcare - just as we've done before.

Republicans think they’re fooling the American people when they say they’re “shifting” people off Medicaid when we all know people are losing healthcare coverage under this bill. We’re not buying it, and neither should you. [Time stamp: 2:39 AM]

Despite all the spin from the Admin, new evidence confirms that the entire situation was manufactured & caused by Trump officials & immigration enforcement agents. Proud to continue standing with @replamonica.bsky.social as she fights these politicized charges & holds this Admin accountable.

We’ve said from Day One that someone high up in the Admin made the call to arrest Mayor Baraka & now the receipts are here: it was Trump’s personal attorney Todd Blanche.
