Liberty State Park is a treasured oasis in our urban landscape, and it means so much to so many, including for my family.

📍 Protecting Liberty State Park 🤝 Proud to be with Friends of LSP and so many allies and neighbors as we continue demanding transparency and advocating against the marina expansion that threatens LSP’s unique community value.

Rep. Greg Casar and I introduced legislation to make sure the interests and wellbeing of our constituents are put ahead of the corporations who are building new data centers across the country.

Democrats target data centers’ energy, water use

New bills would force data centers to self-generate electricity, meet aggressive renewable targets and report water use.

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

We've seen reports that DHS is considering turning an industrial warehouse in Roxbury into an ICE immigration detention center. This runs counter to what our residents want which is why I led our New Jersey Dem Delegation in taking immediate action.

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

Team Menendez is on the move! We hope to see you there later today!

Huge congrats to Guttenberg’s own Laura Galeano Arcila for being the first athlete to win FOUR consecutive HCIAL Girls’ Tennis First Singles Championships! Such a remarkable achievement! 🎾👏

Guttenberg Honors Teen Athlete for Historic Tennis Record

The DOJ is prioritizing a sham investigation of Jerome Powell solely because he refused to bend to political pressure from Trump over investigating the killing of an American citizen by an ICE agent in broad daylight. Trump's agenda has always been about retribution - not about pursuing justice.

MS NOW EXCLUSIVE: At least four leaders of a Justice Department unit that investigates police killings have resigned in protest over the Trump administration's handling of the fatal shooting of Renee Good by an ICE officer, according to three people briefed on the departures.

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

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. 😵‍💫

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

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.

Rep. Ilhan Omar

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.

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.

Reposted byRep. Rob Menendez

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.

Rep. Kim Schrier, M.D.

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.

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

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.
