Addressing rising electric bills is a top priority. I introduced legislation with @repcasar.bsky.social that requires data centers to generate their own clean energy rather than straining our grid and raising your bills. Let's get it done.

Jeffries says AI data centers will be Dem priority

‘We have to protect the American rate payer,’ Jeffries says.

FIFA is set to make $11 billion in revenue, but they are sticking New Jersey taxpayers with a $48 million bill for extra transit service. This is unacceptable. That's why I joined Representatives Goldman and Pou to demand that FIFA pay its fair share.

NJ, NY representatives join call for FIFA to subsidize World Cup transit

NJ Transit has announced $150 train tickets to cover the $48 million cost for the event, as FIFA expects to make $11 billion.

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

We cannot allow our broken immigration system to be weaponized to detain and deport millions. Our fight continues so we can finally begin to heal from this national nightmare.

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

“The government’s interpretation … would send a seismic shock through our immigration detention system and society, straining our already overcrowded detention infrastructure, incarcerating millions..." - Judge Bianco

Appeals court rules against ICE’s mandatory detention policy

The decision marks a split at the appeals court level, setting up the possibility for the issue to reach the Supreme Court.

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

It was a privilege to meet with Subodh and his sister, Aarti. 🤝 We discussed the urgent need for better workforce inclusion and caregiving support. In Congress, I’ll always work to keep autism awareness, acceptance and action at the heart of everything we do. More to come.

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

Trump told us that Iran’s nuclear program was "obliterated” last summer. But in our Energy & Commerce hearing, Secretary Wright told a different story. 🤔

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

Urban agriculture fights food insecurity and builds stronger communities. That's why I am offering my legislation that will boost access to fresh, healthy food across our communities as an amendment to the Farm Bill. Let’s get it done.

As we approach Thanksgiving, too many families still struggle to access fresh, healthy food.

Thank you to members of CAIR NJ for coming to discuss our issues impacting our communities and sharing their stories. In Congress, I am committed to solutions that make our communities safer and our country stronger.

Great seeing our friends at LiUNA Eastern Region including LiUNA President Mike Hellstrom! Labor is the backbone of our communities, and I’ll never stop fighting for the hardworking men and women who build our state. 🤝

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

📍North Jersey Transit Forum Great to join today HudCo Streets to discuss how we’re partnering with local leaders to bring home the federal funding our communities deserve. We’re working to make our transit reliable, sustainable, and accessible for every neighbor. Let’s keep Hudson County moving.

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

FIFA must step up and work with our states to lower fares and ensure the World Cup is accessible for everyone.

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

While FIFA makes billions, they are refusing to contribute a single dollar for transit costs to and from matches. That’s why Rep. Dan Goldman, Rep. Nellie Pou, and I are demanding that FIFA subsidize NJ TRANSIT's costs.

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

Leaving brave Afghans who risked their lives for our troops to either go to a country they've never known or face the Taliban’s brutality is an absolute rejection of American values. We must stand by those who stood with us.

CAPAC Members Condemn Trump’s Racist Post Against Indian and Chinese Immigrants:

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 24(source)

As Vice Chair of Policy for Hispanic Caucus, I’ve fought these attacks from the start. We will not abandon the promise of America. Our fight continues.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 24(source)

This is a victory for the rule of law and a rejection of this Administration’s reckless agenda. Since Day One, the Trump Admin has tried to dismantle the core of our legal immigration system.

Appeals court rules that Trump's asylum ban at the border is illegal

A U.S. appeals court has blocked President Donald Trump's executive order suspending asylum access at the southern border.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 24(source)

Our fight to protect healthcare is now AP Style approved.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 24(source)

I’m proud to join my SEEC colleagues on new legislation that will lower costs quickly, stop energy companies from overcharging you, ensure big energy users like data centers finally pay their fair share, and add new, clean sources of power.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 24(source)

Trump's energy policies have led to skyrocketing electric bills for families across New Jersey.
