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

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.
Reposted byRep. Rob Menendez
.@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.
Heading on to the House Floor NOW to vote YES to extend ACA tax credits for three more years. Let’s get it done.
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.
They tried to gavel (aka silence) me but in this moment we cannot be silent, here’s what I said:
With all the challenges we are facing as a nation, House Republicans are once again talking about and prioritizing…showerheads?!
I went to the House floor to talk to them about it. Watch 👇
Republicans don’t get to pretend this is business as usual when it comes to nuclear safety while Trump is making our communities less safe (including undermining the independent nuclear energy safety commission). 🤔
That's why I called them out in E&C ⬇️
We all must hold ICE accountable - legislators and the public alike.
We will keep fighting against Trump’s extreme actions that undermine the safety of everyone who calls this country home because there is no more dire consequence than what happened today.
Today is a tragic day, marked by a painful and preventable loss of life.
Since Trump took office - and after what we experienced outside Delaney Hall - we have said that ICE's dangerous and reckless behavior should be a concern to all Americans because no one is safe in Trump’s America.
We will keep fighting against the Trump Administration's attempts to undermine the rights of everyone who calls this country home.
Every single day.
Wishing everyone across our communities a joyous Three Kings Day!
Today, we honor a beautiful tradition rooted in family and generosity. May this day bring peace, hope, and happiness to all who celebrate.
If Speaker Johnson won’t honor the officers who defended the Capitol on January 6, including the NJ State Police, we will.
We must continue to confront extremism, strengthen our democratic institutions, and work to unite our country.
Five years ago today, violent insurrectionists spurred on by Trump attempted to overthrow our democracy.
Since then, both our country, and many of the individuals who were there that day, have continued to live with the consequences.
Now, after Republican funding cuts, the CPB is closing its doors for good.
We should be investing more in these organizations, not less.
Over 50 years ago, Mister Rogers went before Congress to share something simple: public broadcasting matters.
For generations, public broadcasting has helped educate kids, kept communities informed, and brought people together.
A 92% tariff on pasta would be absurd and I’m glad it was reduced.
But Trump’s trade chaos is still driving up costs for working families. While House Republicans stay silent, House Democrats are focused on lowering prices and tackling the affordability crisis.
Health insurance premiums have skyrocketed for millions of Americans because Republicans failed to act before the January 1 deadline.
This week, I'm going to vote for the @housedemocrats.bsky.social plan to extend ACA tax credits and protect the affordable, quality care our communities deserve.
In the coming days there will be more questions that will arise especially given the Administration’s justification for this action.
Congress must demand a full briefing for every Member of Congress on what occurred and the long-term consequences for the region and U.S. national security.
No matter how reprehensible the regime, no President can circumvent Congress’s constitutional authority to declare war.
It is imperative that the Republican majority stand with us and hold this Administration accountable.
