We carry his work forward—and I’ll always miss his style, his leadership, and the looks he’d give me when we were making good trouble. 🙏🤍

Happy heavenly 67th birthday to my friend, Congressman Donald Payne Jr. He is deeply missed in New Jersey and the halls of Congress, but his legacy of justice and fearless advocacy lives on.

Democrats succeeded in forcing a vote to stop ACA premium hikes. It’s time for Speaker Johnson to immediately bring this vote to the floor & protect healthcare for all Americans

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

House Democrats have succeeded in forcing a vote to stop massive ACA premium hikes and prevent New Jersey families from losing their health coverage. This bill should be brought to the floor TODAY.

Urgent update. Our bipartisan petition to force a vote on a straightforward extension of the Affordable Care Act tax credits now has 218 signatures. Mike Johnson should bring the bill to the floor immediately.

🎉HUGE NEWS for Jersey City schools: Our office is excited to announce over $1.2 million in funding for JCPS’ Project STARR to train more school psychologists & expand mental health services for students. This funding means more support in schools & better care for our children who need it most. 🤝

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 16(source)

Speaker Johnson’s reckless refusal to even allow a vote on extending critical ACA tax credits for families across New Jersey is yet another clear example of how far this Admin is willing to go to let working families suffer. This isn’t about politics, it’s about people’s lives.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 16(source)

Families across New Jersey are being crushed by rising electricity bills and AI data centers are a major reason why. Yet instead of addressing the problem, Republicans keep focusing on everything but the real issue. More to come.

Energy bills in US have increased 13% since Trump took office, new report finds

The amount of money Americans are paying toward their energy bills has increased since President Donald Trump took office earlier this year, according to a new report.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 16(source)

Workers across America keep our country running. I joined my Labor Caucus colleagues in introducing this vital legislation that addresses the importance of fighting for worker's rights, safety, & dignity—especially with Trump in office. Your fight is our fight & we are in this - together. 🤝

I introduced the LET’S Protect Workers Act with @bobbyscott.house.gov, @norcross.house.gov, @debbiedingell.house.gov, & @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social. Our labor laws are so weakly enforced, and the penalties so minimal, that for many companies, breaking the law is just cheaper than following it.

A family from North Bergen called us to flag an error on their child's visa application. We worked with the National Visa Center to promptly correct it.

A West New York couple needed help with their Uniting for Ukraine (U4U) parole re-authorization applications after the Trump Admin terminated the program. After persistent follow-up with USCIS, their cases were approved.

A constituent from Hoboken hadn't received their 2024 tax refund. Our team contacted the IRS, and within a few weeks, they received their refund.

Meanwhile New Jerseyans across our communities are already facing higher prices this holiday season as a result of his policies.

Trump to holiday shoppers concerned about high prices: "Look, don't be dramatic."

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 15(source)

Yes, there is a lot of work to do but doing nothing is not an option. We owe this to all our children & all of our communities. It’s beyond time to get it done.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 15(source)

These bills & additional legislation by House Dems are a strong start. But combatting gun violence also requires standing up to hatred & promoting mental health with the same urgency as we take legislative action.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 15(source)

- Promote safe firearm storage to stop preventable deaths (H.R. 1564) - Restrict the most dangerous weapons of war from civilian use (H.R. 2790) - Establish a federal Office of Gun Violence Prevention to coordinate national efforts (H.R. 1307)

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 15(source)

We can pass legislation that would: - Strengthen background checks so firearms don’t fall into dangerous hands (H.R. 3868) - Close deadly loopholes, including banning bump stocks (H.R. 2799)

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 15(source)

We cannot accept this as our reality. House Democrats have put forward common sense GVP legislation - we just need ALL elected officials to offer more than their thoughts & prayers & do the right thing. Here’s how we begin to end the scourge of GV in our country & beyond🧵

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 15(source)

Today, as we remember the 26 lives taken at Sandy Hook Elementary School, we struggle once again to comprehend two more horrific shootings that took innocent lives.
