So the DOE has enough staff to run Venezuela but not enough staff to lower your electric bills?!

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

When you're spinning as hard as you can for the Trump Administration on Venezuela and you forget what you're talking about. 😵‍💫

The killing of Renee Good should not have happened and we must make sure nothing like it happens again. I joined over 150 of my colleagues in demanding answers and accountability for ICE, something our Republican colleagues refuse to do.

I led a letter with 159 Members of Congress to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem demanding accountability for ICE's indefensible actions resulting in the killing of a woman in South Minneapolis. Minnesotans deserve answers. That must include an unbiased, thorough investigation.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 12(source)

West New York - Congress is coming to your corner to help with casework, passports, and anything else you need from a federal agency. We hope to see you there!

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 12(source)

An independent Fed protects our economy from reckless partisan interference and keeps stability the main mission. We should all be praising Jerome Powell for doing what's right and refusing to bow to political pressure by Trump and his rogue Administration. Everyone needs to watch this video.

But the President gave himself an A+++++ on the economy…….

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

Saddened to hear of the passing of Governor Codey. In his 50 years of service as an Assemblyman, Senator, and Governor, he was committed to his community and our great state. My thoughts are with Gov. Codey’s family, friends and all those who were positively impacted by his years of service.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 10(source)

Proud to stand with my @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social colleagues to demand answers from this Administration. As Vice Chair of Policy, my commitment to accountability and our Venezuelan communities remains unwavering.

Senator Andy Kim@kim.senate.govJan 10(source)

Today, @menendez.house.gov and I met with members of NJ’s Venezuelan community and asked them what they think about this administration’s actions. We owe them answers about Trump’s true motives and plans for their home country.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 9(source)

I couldn't leave DC this week without calling out House Republicans for their hypocrisy and imploring them to finally stand up for Americans.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 9(source)

I joined @repkimschrier.bsky.social and over 100 of our colleagues to demand the CDC restore the childhood immunization schedule. We will not allow this Administration to lead with fear or put our children at risk.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 9(source)

Rolling back critical vaccine recommendations from the immunization schedule is absolutely reckless and heightens fear among parents while threatening the health of our communities.

I’m proud to lead 115 of my colleagues in urging him to uphold his oath to protect children's health by restoring the childhood vaccine schedule.

That’s why we’re taking action to fix the system, so these data centers - not our families - are accountable for their costs.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 9(source)

Your electric bills are rising... and AI data centers are a major reason why. While AI innovation is promising, we must ensure it's not happening at the expense of our communities.

.@PabloReports: What do you make of Republican efforts to increase ICE funding? Menendez: There should be no more money for ICE. There needs to be accountability for ICE. We need to do that before another fucking dollar is spent on them.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 8(source)

Heading on to the House Floor NOW to vote YES to extend ACA tax credits for three more years. Let’s get it done.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 8(source)

This moment calls on us to reject fear and to once again remember that the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice - and we are the ones who must be the force to ensure that it in fact bends towards justice.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 8(source)

They tried to gavel (aka silence) me but in this moment we cannot be silent, here’s what I said:
