Too many JC residents are being priced out of the community they built. I'm proud to stand with Mayor Solomon as his admin takes action to crack down on illegal rent increases & protect tenants. Look forward to continuing to partner together to make our communities more accessible & affordable.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 20(source)

Pressure works. Now let's get our hardworking men and women back to work and deliver on the modern infrastructure that NJ deserves.

Gateway tunnel work expected to resume next week after full federal reimbursement

About 1,000 workers were furloughed earlier this month when the Trump administration cut off the funding.

Our state should not invest public funds in companies like Palantir that support ICE’s unconscionable actions. I urge the NJ State Investment Council to review this investment and consider all options, including divestment. Our state’s investments should reflect our values and protect NJ families.

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

We're so grateful for all you do in training the next generation of leaders and fostering a culture where students can thrive in Hudson County and beyond. So proud to call you a friend and partner in working to ensure our students and workers have the tools they need for success.

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

Congratulations to HCCC’s President, Dr. Christopher M. Reber on being awarded the 2026 Insight Into Academia Trailblazer in Higher Education Award!

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

📍Spending time with our future leaders at County Prep in Jersey City 📚 So great visiting County Prep’s Model Gov meeting to hear what they’re learning about and talk to them about our work in Congress (specifically on AI!). Our future is bright with these students. Good luck in Boston!

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

An American spring of Rock ‘n’ Rebellion is what the country needs in this moment & I am here for it. It’s unfortunate that Trump & his supporters at Mar-a-Lago will be home listening to YMCA for the millionth time since his inauguration still trying to make it feel cool. Sad! Brrruuuccceeeeeee

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

Now he’s starting his “Land of Hope and Dreams” tour in Minneapolis & ending it in Washington DC. We are pretty direct in Jersey & this tour is a clear message to the country and the President: the United Free Republic of E Street Nation is coming for you.

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

Bruce Springsteen has brought that Jersey energy to audiences across the globe his entire career, always holding a mirror up to who we are as a society.

ICE's plan for a new detention facility runs counter to our state’s values and we must stand united against it. Join our initiative to help us oppose the proposed ICE facility in Roxbury: iqconnect.house.gov/iqextranet/E...

Congrats to Jersey City’s own Ishaan Gupta on his back-to-back win in the Hudson County Spelling Bee! We're so proud of you. Good luck at Scripps National Spelling Bee later this year! 📚🐝

Back to Back: Jersey City's Ishaan Gupta Repeat Winner of Hudson County Spelling Bee

Jersey City’s 7th grader Ishaan Gupta wins 2nd straight Hudson County Spelling Bee among record 79 contestants, earning a spot at the Scripps National Bee

This is absolutely absurd and heartbreaking. Yet this tragedy is one of many in Trump's America as humanity and compassion do not exist in his administration. ICE needs to be abolished and this 2-month old sick baby and his family must be brought back home immediately.

After a discussion with their attorney, I have confirmed that Juan, his 16-month-old sister, his mom, and his dad have been deported.

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

You will have been the spox for the dark legacy of Trump’s DHS & I hope that haunts you for the remainder of your career. Good riddance.

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

Hope you have time to reflect on all the harm & damage you caused, all the bs spin that came directly from you, & all the reputations you tarnished including the memories of dead Americans.

DHS spokesperson to leave Trump administration amid agency turmoil

The move comes as public opinion has turned on the administration’s hardline immigration policies.

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

Wishing everyone a meaningful holiday filled with prayer, reflection, and time spent with loved ones. 🙏

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

Ramadan Mubarak to communities across New Jersey & beyond! Grateful to be with our Muslim community in JC this evening as we lit the lantern - a beacon that breaks darkness in this holy month of fasting.

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

Happy Lunar New Year! Wishing everyone celebrating the #YearoftheHorse and beyond a year filled with peace, health, and resilience.

新年快乐! 새해 복 많이 받으세요! Chúc mừng Năm Mới! Happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating across the country and around the world! May the Year of the Horse bring you and your family happiness, prosperity, and good fortune.

BUT to be FAIR, this is coming from someone who understands what “would be financially catastrophic to the region” since Trump is the one who f’ed Atlantic City and all the business owners and workers he stiffed in his time going bankrupt down there.

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

Yes, this is completely unhinged and we are going to continue to win in court.
