The impacts of Hurricane Erin will be felt across the Jersey Shore over the next several days, generating dangerous rip currents and high waves. As conditions worsen, we urge residents and visitors to avoid wading and swimming in the ocean, especially when lifeguards are off duty.

Every moment with our community is both a joy and a privilege. Together, we’ll keep fighting for a stronger, fairer New Jersey. Forever thankful for the people and places that make this district what it is 🤝 To read more about what our team was up to last week, subscribe to our newsletter!

Trump knows his Administration is failing the American people and if Republicans compete in a FAIR election they will LOSE. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will hold this Administration accountable and that’s exactly what Americans want.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govAug 18(source)

Why do this? Because Putin knows how to play Trump and his refusal to accept his 2020 LOSS.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govAug 18(source)

First, it was rigging the Texas map to help Republicans. Now, Trump is going after mail-in voting, which would only hurt seniors, military families, and the millions of Americans who rely on it to cast their ballot.

Trump: "Vladimir Putin said something- one of the most interesting things. He said 'your election was rigged because you have mail in voting. It's impossible to have mail in voting & have honest elections.' He said that to me because we talked about 2020. He said, 'you won that election by so much'"

Rep. McIver and I will continue conducting lawful oversight and holding this Administration accountable to protect our NJ communities.

Two House Democrats vow to continue oversight visits at ICE jails • New Jersey Monitor

Reps. LaMonica McIver and Rob Menendez visited Jersey City Monday to chat about their fights with the Trump administration.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govAug 17(source)

Trump’s ICE has an insatiable appetite to detain immigrants and tear families apart. Time and again, we've seen it's not about violent criminals - it's about creating a culture of intimidation.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govAug 16(source)

But we are fighting back and advocating for our communities every single day. The work never stops and neither do we.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govAug 16(source)

Three years ago, the #InflationReductionAct was signed into law and lowered prescription drug costs, boosted manufacturing jobs, and delivered real results across our country. Now, Trump and Republicans are rolling back all the progress @housedemocrats.bsky.social fought for and delivered on.

No Republicans voted for the Inflation Reduction Act calling it a “travesty” and funding from it “wasteful” yet: ✅ they showed up for the ribbon cuttings ✅ boasted to their constituents about bringing federal money back

Parks like Van Vorst bring communities together, improve health, and protect our environment. Proud to introduce the Community Parks Revitalization Act to ensure everyone has access to parks like this one, no matter where they live or what their zip code is.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govAug 14(source)

We know that school meals and other nutrition programs, like SNAP, are essential. Apparently, Republicans do not. That’s why I joined @replamonica.bsky.social School Meals Roundtable to discuss how we can protect these vital programs - together.

90 years ago, the Social Security Act was signed into law. Now, Trump’s reckless cuts threaten the economic security of millions of our seniors. We must stand up for the benefits New Jerseyans have earned. If you need help accessing Social Security benefits, contact our office at (201) 309-0301.
