Ten years ago, love won. 🏳️‍🌈🫶 But today, decades of progress are under threat—LGBTQ+ rights are being rolled back, vital health services cut, and protections stripped away.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 26(source)

The Senate Parliamentarian just stripped key parts of Trump's disastrous bill. That’s good but the fight isn’t over. And while House Democrats work to ensure everyone has access to healthcare, Republicans say they’ll stand up for their constituents, but always bend to Trump. Brave until they cave.

The nonpartisan Senate official whose office determines if legislation fits within the rules of the chamber dealt Senate Republicans a blow on proposed changes to Medicaid.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 26(source)

Senator Mitch McConnell: "I know a lot of us are hearing from people back home about Medicaid. But they'll get over it." Republicans have failed you. Democrats are fighting for you.

With you then, with you now. #StandWithLaMonica

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 25(source)

Republicans aren’t consistent on anything, complaining about the prior Administration and silent with all the harm Trump is doing - always trying to have it both ways. We are calling them out.

🚨 Hidden in this disastrous bill: Republicans want to block states from passing ANY AI laws—for a DECADE. On today’s Democrat Daily Download, @menendez.house.gov sounds the alarm on why this move is dangerous—and how House Democrats are pushing back.

Proud to stand with @replamonica.bsky.social—today and every day.

Three years after Dobbs, & reproductive freedoms are still under relentless attack. SCOTUS didn’t just overturn Roe—it opened the door to roll back privacy and autonomy everywhere. We won’t back down because everyone deserves the freedom to make their own health decisions.

Congrats to my dear friend and fellow @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social member @robertgarcia.bsky.social on his election as Ranking Member of @oversightdemocrats.house.gov! I know Robert will do an incredible job holding the Trump Admin accountable while fighting for a better future for all Americans 💪

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 23(source)

SCOTUS just gave the Trump Administration the green light to deport immigrants to countries where they have no ties. This inhumane ruling puts lives at risk and runs counter to due process rights—and our values as Americans. We need a just immigration system, not one driven by fear and cruelty.

The Trump Admin’s rollback of emergency abortion policies puts pregnant women’s lives at risk by stripping ERs of clear rules to provide life-saving care. Make no mistake: this will endanger lives. That’s why @housedemocrats.bsky.social will fight this reckless overturn.

How does this decision make any sense? We know that LGBTQ+ youth face higher suicide risks and unique challenges, yet the Trump Admin is ending specialized LGBTQ+ support on the national suicide hotline. This is not just senseless, but it unnecessarily puts lives in danger.
