Trump is causing an immense amount of confusion and harm to the over 800,000 New Jerseyans who rely on SNAP benefits. His Administration is using every opportunity to take food assistance away from hungry families. House Democrats will keep fighting back to protect our communities.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Officials Demand States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamp Benefits

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 8(source)

📍Proud to support NY-NJ Harbor Estuary’s vital work to protect our waterways 💧🌿 Grateful to join leaders and scientists to discuss how we can safeguard our shared waters and build a more sustainable future for New Jerseyans for generations to come.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 8(source)

While November SNAP benefits have been issued, the fight continues to protect healthcare, lower costs, and reopen the government.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 8(source)

📍Delivering meals with Hoboken Community Center in Hoboken 📢 Grateful to our partners and volunteers who have been working tirelessly to keep families fed amid Trump’s threats to SNAP. With 1 in 7 Hudson County residents relying on these benefits, there should never be uncertainty.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 8(source)

Although the Trump Admin continues to fight this court order, the win confirms what we knew all along: it was illegal to withhold benefits from the American people. To confirm your balance or for more info, visit NJSNAP.gov.

HUGE NEWS: Following a court order, New Jersey was able to issue full SNAP benefits for the over 800,000 individuals across our state who rely on them.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 7(source)

A federal judge ordered the Trump Administration to pay full SNAP benefits for November. Instead of releasing funds for the millions of families who rely on SNAP, they are appealing the ruling. The President is literally taking food off the table from those in need.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 6(source)

Congratulations to the new graduating class of CHCI interns, including our own talented intern, Jackie! Grateful for programs like these that uplift our Latino students, provide meaningful experiences and drive change in our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 6(source)

That's why I joined more than 200 of my colleagues in filing an amicus brief with the Supreme Court to end these illegal tariffs and protect our economy.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 6(source)

The Constitution is clear: Congress holds the power of the purse and the power to tax. Trump doesn't have authority to impose sweeping tariffs that raise costs for American families and businesses.

Highlights of the Supreme Court Arguments on Trump’s Tariffs

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 6(source)

I was grateful to be with my NJ Dem colleagues & so many of you last night to discuss how we’re fighting Republicans’ cuts to SNAP. Thank you to everyone for staying engaged. It’s time for Republicans to stop standing in the way of protecting healthcare, lowering costs, & reopening the government.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 6(source)

House Democrats are fighting every day to reopen the government and to protect healthcare for millions of Americans.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 6(source)

Our already understaffed air traffic controllers and our TSA officers are working without pay during the busiest travel season of the year, creating a serious safety risk in our skies.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 6(source)

The Trump Administration would rather shut down our airports and drive up healthcare costs than reopen the government.

Department of Transportation might be forced to shut down some airspace next week: Duffy

The Department of Transportation might be forced to shut down the airspace in certain parts of the country if the government shutdown continues into next week.

I am thankful for her service and mentorship, the opportunity to learn from her since I joined the House - and I look forward to the work ahead. Thank you for everything, Madam Speaker.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 6(source)

An absolute legend. Nancy Pelosi redefined leadership in our country. Her strength, vision, and unmatched commitment to deliver for working families changed lives and forever changed our country. And it was always “for the children”.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 5(source)

That’s why I joined my colleagues in demanding Trump follows the law & pays federal workers backpay when Republicans are finally willing to reopen the government.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govNov 5(source)

The Trump Admin has proven time & again that they don't value our dedicated career civil servants. Paying furloughed federal workers is the law, as signed by President Trump himself in 2019.

Administration hints furloughed workers may not be paid after shutdown

Agencies are sending messages indicating that workers who are on the job will be paid when the government reopens — with no mention of those on furlough, despite a 2019 law protecting their wages.

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

Stacy is one of millions of Americans who opened her health insurance letter & saw her premium skyrocket. She called it “devastating” & she’s right. While Republicans refuse to extend ACA tax credits, Democrats are fighting to ensure every individual can access the affordable care they deserve.

Obamacare enrollee sees premium spike over 300% as sign-up period begins: 'This will devastate us'

Millions across the country will discover just how much their plans will cost when open enrollment for Affordable Care Act insurance plans begins on Nov. 1.

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

Unconscionable. The President is ignoring court orders while using hunger for political gain. The Administration must obey the law and promptly issue SNAP benefits to ensure American families are able to have food on their table.

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger

SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly “handed” to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT
