Dear Great Pumpkin, Trump's tariffs are making Halloween more expensive this year.
The costs of costumes & candy have gone up across the country as Republicans continue to make life LESS affordable for families.

The Trump Administration's plan to deny social security disability benefits to older Americans is completely unacceptable & wrong.
I joined Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz & Rep. John Larson in urging SSA to immediately halt any measure that reduces eligibility of earned benefits.

During our most recent telephone town hall, a constituent from Jersey City asked: "Do you have any updates on Gateway?"
Listen to my answer below ⬇️
Here are our latest efforts:
🔨 Calling on DOT’s Inspector General to investigate the FAA’s oversight of the helicopter tourism industry.
🔨 Demanding EPA protect New Jerseyans from helicopter noise pollution.
We cannot relent in this fight. 🚁🔨
The government shutdown has not stopped us from our legislative work, as we continue to press the FAA and EPA to address helicopter traffic plaguing our communities.
We are open and here to assist you even during a government shutdown.
If you need help with a federal agency, please contact our office at (201) 309-0301.
🚨 Casework Highlight 🚨
A Jersey City constituent reached out to us for help with their green card application after experiencing significant delays.
After contacting USCIS, we resolved the issue, and our constituent was able to receive their green card the following week.
📍 NY/NJ Baykeeper Fall Celebration in Weehawken
⚓️ Clean, accessible waterways are essential to resilient communities. Grateful to the Baykeeper and all advocates that attended for their tireless work and partnership in protecting our environment.
📍 Italian Heritage Parade in Bayonne
🇮🇹 An honor to be with so many of our Italian-American friends and neighbors today in Bayonne. Thank you to all the organizers. Always a privilege to celebrate with all of you 🫶
Thank you to everyone who joined our Career Fair yesterday! 📝 🤝
Our office is here to help ensure you have the tools & opportunities needed to thrive. Thank you again to all the vendors who showed up - it was incredible to see so much talent from our community in one space. 🫶
A Republican shutdown won't stop our team from serving you.
Newark – Congress is coming to your corner to help with casework, passports, and anything else you need from a federal agency. We hope to see you there!
Not even American citizens are safe from Trump’s mass deportations.
This was never about “dangerous criminals.” It’s about the Trump Admin's insatiable appetite to sow fear in our communities & tear families apart.
We’ll keep fighting back, conducting lawful oversight, & defending due process.
Conversations like these are the heartbeat of our work in DC every day. More to come.
Thank you, Senator Kim for having me on your latest episode of "Diner Talk" at Tops Diner in NJ’s 8th to speak with union workers about how Trump's funding freeze on the Gateway Tunnel Project impacts our communities.
Families across New Jersey are being crushed by rising electricity bills.
That's why my colleagues & I are calling on PJM to take all possible measures to bring new energy online & bring down costs as quickly as possible. No more delays.
Reposted byRep. Rob Menendez
On Monday, @menendez.house.gov and I sat down with union workers in a north Jersey diner. They told us how valuable the Hudson Tunnel Project is to their families and communities.
On Thursday, in a blatant act of political retribution, Trump terminated its funding.
Full conversation out now.
So Donald Norcross and I may not agree on football (Go G-Men), but we can agree that this Republican shutdown hurts New Jersey’s families.
We’re in DC fighting to protect healthcare, lower costs, and reopen the government - together.
You either stand for democracy, or you don’t. There is no middle ground.
