At the end of the month, ACA tax credits will expire and healthcare costs will skyrocket. My House Democrat colleagues and I are fighting to protect affordable care and put our communities first.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 4(source)

I went to the House floor to wish a happy retirement to all my House Republican colleagues who are leaving Congress instead of running for reelection on their disastrous record! House Democrats have and always will fight for all Americans and work to deliver a government that works for the people.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 4(source)

Proud to support legislation which will phase out the use of private migrant detention centers that go against our values and hold existing facilities accountable for unsafe conditions.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 4(source)

Proud to stand with Rep. McIver every single day as she fights these politicized charges against her. With you then, with you now.

Rep. LaMonica McIver

The bottom line is this administration wants to do everything in their power, no matter how they get there, no matter how many rules they break, to stop Congress from holding them accountable. I showed up to protect the people that I represent. I plan on continuing to do that.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 4(source)

Trump’s comments dehumanizing an entire ethnicity and my colleague Rep. Ilhan Omar are disgusting and beneath his office - something that everyone, including House Republicans, should speak up against. This is not who we are as a country.

Trump disparages Somali immigrants for the second straight day, saying they've 'destroyed our country'

The president also continued his verbal attacks on Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., saying the first Somali American elected to Congress "shouldn’t be allowed to be a congresswoman."

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 3(source)

That's why Rep. Ilhan Omar & I introduced legislation to establish a program that funds local workforce boards to cover childcare costs so parents can build new skills & support their families. No working parent should ever feel left behind.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 3(source)

Expanding affordable childcare & training opportunities is essential for working families.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 3(source)

Last night I spoke with Emily and James to let them know our office is here to assist and that I look forward to doing this critical work - together.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 3(source)

These are challenging times for our neighbors and creating solutions to those challenges requires a coordinated effort at the federal, state, and local levels.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 3(source)

Congratulations to Mayors-Elect James Solomon and Emily Jabbour! It has been a privilege to work with both of them the last several years and I look forward to continuing our work together for those we have the honor of representing.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 3(source)

Proud to join my colleagues in opposing this last-minute Republican push to add an AI moratorium into the NDAA that would shut down any progress states have already made.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 3(source)

A blanket ban on state AI laws would stop New Jersey from advancing responsible AI regulation and derail the common-sense guardrails we’re already leading on.

Rep. Doris Matsui

@dorismatsui.bsky.social

I led 81 colleagues to oppose any attempt to reintroduce a moratorium on state & local AI laws in the NDAA or by executive order. People deserve transparency, trust, & protection. We can't handcuff states without any real federal safeguards. We can lead the world in AI & protect our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 2(source)

But this happened this morning…

Trump on affordability: It doesn't mean anything to anybody… The word is a con job by the Democrats

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 2(source)

House Republicans have TWELVE legislative days in DC to protect healthcare for millions of Americans and extend ACA tax credits before they are set to expire. I signed a discharge petition to extend credits by 3 years, and House Democrats are ready to support that. When will House GOP step up?

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 2(source)

This Admin keeps harming the most vulnerable in our communities, and that’s why we’re fighting back.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 2(source)

That’s why I joined Rep. Frank Pallone, Rep. Rosa DeLauro, and Rep. Maxine Waters to demand that the Trump Admin immediately undo changes to HUD's Continuum of Care program and keep families safely, stably housed.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 2(source)

The Trump Administration is disrupting our nation's largest homelessness assistance program, and it could put more than 2,000 New Jerseyans at risk of homelessness this winter.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 1(source)

Great to participate on APAICS End of Year Panel with my friend, Senator Andy Kim about the work we're doing in Congress to both uplift and tackle the challenges that our AANHPI communities are facing. Together - we can make meaningful change. 🤝

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 1(source)

We’ll keep fighting to hold this Admin accountable and to protect our NJ communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govDec 1(source)

This decision confirms what we already knew: Habba has illegally served for months and she should not be NJ’s U.S. Attorney, especially when she has prioritized carrying out Trump's harmful political agenda by targeting NJ leaders like Rep. McIver and Mayor Baraka for doing their jobs.

Appeals Court Says Alina Habba Is Unlawful U.S. Attorney
