Humbled to have the Katz family and other advocates on the Hill yesterday to announce the Sarah Katz Caffeine Safety Act. Jill and Michael Katz have courageously turned their grief into advocacy, and together, we're working to save lives. Learn more about the bill here: menendez.house.gov/sarahkatz

I went to the House Floor to speak against the Trump Administration’s immigration enforcement actions and to share a constituent’s story as a warning and call to action. Watch 👇

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 1(source)

Great to see @booker.senate.gov fight the good fight tonight, speaking out against Republicans’ attempts to cut funding for Medicaid / NJ FamilyCare. Stay strong, my friend. We are in this fight together 🤝

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 1(source)

Heard @booker.senate.gov was getting in some good trouble in the Senate, so I thought I’d go check it out.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, I’m here to support our transgender friends and neighbors and to make sure they can be their authentic selves. 🏳️‍⚧️

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 28(source)

This is a direct assault on the rights of federal workers. Did you know that over 80% of them work outside of the DC area, supporting communities nationwide? So instead of stripping their rights, let’s thank them for their service to our country. And you can count on House Dems to stand with them.

President Trump's new executive order ends collective bargaining for wide swaths of federal employees, as part of his broader campaign to reshape the government's workforce. Unions are vowing to sue.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 28(source)

This can’t be what we stand for as a country and it is something as a representative of a proud immigrant community that I will always fight against. ✊

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 28(source)

And here’s the thing: when Trump talks about mass deportations, this is what he means. Taking people in the middle of the night who have a RIGHT to be here and trying to remove them to foreign countries.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 28(source)

Our dedicated caseworkers have worked nonstop with this woman’s family, her attorney, ICE, and Mexican officials to prevent her illegal deportation. And we’ll continue until her rights are upheld.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 28(source)

When she courageously pleaded her case, the Mexican government rightly told ICE that they would not accept her. Now, she’s back in Texas, and her family and loved ones are concerned for her wellbeing.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 28(source)

In the middle of the night, she was loaded on a bus in TX and driven across the border to MEXICO - a country she has no ties to. She alleges that ICE officials threatened her with violence if she did not sign a voluntary departure form.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 28(source)

This constituent, a victim of unspeakable torture and abuse in Colombia, had been granted legal protections under the Convention Against Torture, meaning that she couldn’t be sent back to her home country.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 28(source)

Last night, ICE attempted to deport a constituent who had been granted legal protections against removal. This is an egregious and illegal overstep by ICE. Here’s what happened, and why it matters 🧵

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 27(source)

Strongest signal that Trump doesn’t believe Johnson can hold the Republicans’ slight majority and divided conference together. Sending in reinforcements to keep the faint hope of reconciliation alive. The problem? GOP’s proposals like cutting healthcare are unpopular no matter who is in charge.

Trump announces that Elise Stefanik is staying in Congress

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 27(source)

Commercial refrigerators or affordable childcare? Walk-in freezers or affordable housing? The difference in priorities between Republicans and Democrats couldn’t be starker. So I went to the House Floor to talk about it 👇

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

Equal work deserves equal pay, full stop. On #EqualPayDay, I'm proud to join the fight with @delauro.house.gov and the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social to finally pass the Paycheck Fairness Act.

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

Today on @energycommerce.bsky.social, we tackled rising energy costs, safeguarding the IRA and the challenges we're facing in strengthening our energy infrastructure. One thing that's not helping? President Trump's disruptive approach to governing. Watch 👇

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

I went to the House Floor to speak about the GOP’s dangerous attack on our judiciary. Watch 👇

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

Concerned about this mishandling of classified info? Me too. Important thread from @slotkin.senate.gov below 👇

I've worked at the White House for both Democrat and Republican Presidents and I've never seen this kind of mishandling of classified info. It's sloppy at best and puts the military involved in these sensitive operations at risk. Let me explain why. 🧵

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

Bottom line: don’t buy Trump and the GOP’s BS. The courts are an essential check on power - even when we disagree with their rulings. What Trump is doing is NOT normal and we will not treat it as such. We will keep the guardrails on and fight against every attempt to dismantle them.
