This shouldn’t be controversial—yet Republicans voted against it & are continuing to put our children’s health at risk.

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

That’s why I introduced an amendment in @energycommerce.bsky.social to protect funding to improve air quality in schools.

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

The last thing a parent should worry about is whether the air in their child’s classroom is safe to breathe.

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

Newark’s Ironbound - where one in four children suffer from asthma - has endured environmental injustice for far too long. Now, Republicans are cutting programs that would right these historical injustices and support communities like the Ironbound. It’s completely unacceptable.

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

Renaming parts of Paterson Great Falls National Historical Park is a wonderful tribute to a man who gave everything for the community he loved. Proud to vote yes in honor of him tonight.

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

My dear friend, Bill Pascrell, embodied the spirit of New Jersey and his hometown of Paterson (“one t”). Relentless, fearless, and devoted to his community.

Who in America thinks that healthcare is too affordable or accessible? Yet today, Republicans are working to pass a bill that cuts healthcare for 13.7m Americans to pay for tax breaks for those who need it the least. Absolutely insane. Watch 👇

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 13(source)

Sasha from Raritan, NJ came to DC today to advocate for Medicaid so she can continue to receive the care she needs & deserves. We are fighting for Sasha, Khabir & everyone who relies on Medicaid & we will continue to work towards making healthcare more accessible and affordable for all Americans!

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 13(source)

@energycommerce.bsky.social Dems will be fighting back. Tune in live: www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4fG...

❌ Gutting healthcare programs that’ll leave 13.7 million people without coverage ❌ Slashing funding for grants to address air pollution at schools ❌ Giving away Americans’ sensitive data to big tech and foreign adversaries

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 13(source)

🚨Happening now: House GOP bill that slashes essential programs that benefit all Americans and make our communities healthier🚨 Here's a summary of what to watch for (hint: it's all bad): 🧵

After 584 days in Hamas captivity, Edan Alexander is finally home. While today is a good day, we must stay united in our resolve to get every hostage home.

JUST IN: Edan Alexander, an Israeli soldier raised in New Jersey, is believed to be the last living U.S. citizen captured by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023. Four other Americans' bodies are still held in Gaza.

Grateful every day for Alex but especially on #MothersDay for everything she does for our family. None of this would work without her. To Alex and all the moms in the 8th District and across the country: thank you! 🙏🫶

Tens of millions of Americans are about to lose their healthcare. Congressional Republicans are working to cut nearly $1 trillion in healthcare to pay for tax cuts for the uber-wealthy…but they’re not coming right out to say that. 3 ways they’ll try to spin it👇🏻

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 11(source)

ICE and HSI had several chances to deescalate, but chose intimidation — sending 20+ masked, armed officers to confront the Mayor of Newark and Members of Congress. They made this a violent scene — and it should shock all Americans.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 11(source)

We won’t let them.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 11(source)

It’s easy to see who escalated the situation. It’s clear this Administration wants to intimidate and silence all of us.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 11(source)

20+ heavily armed, masked DHS officers with no identification and other ICE/HSI officials there as well.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 11(source)

1 mayor waiting for us to finish our visit (arrested on public property).

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMay 11(source)

3 Members of Congress with LAWFUL oversight authority to be there (in fact we had been on the premises for hours before ICE escalated the situation).
