Republicans have already made the largest cuts to Medicaid in the program’s history & now they’re refusing to extend the ACA tax credits, raising health insurance premiums for families across the country. House Democrats are holding the line in the fight to protect healthcare for all Americans.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govOct 9(source)

House Democrats are fighting every day to protect healthcare for all Americans & we will hold the line.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govOct 9(source)

Republicans are putting vital health centers like North Hudson Community Action Corporation at risk. These are lifelines for our neighbors & we cannot let Republicans use them as a bargaining chip. Honored to bring their message back to Washington.

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

We cannot leave families behind during this Republican-led government shutdown. Proud to help introduce legislation today to protect WIC and ensure states are reimbursed for providing this critical funding for our communities.

🔔New bill to protect women & children from the Republican shutdown 🔔 My new CARE for WIC During a Shutdown Act ensures states have certainty they will receive federal government reimbursement to ensure moms & kids see no disruption to WIC when there is a shutdown.

Meanwhile, House Democrats are holding the line - fighting for all Americans, to lower costs, protect healthcare, and keep our communities safe. We are in this fight - together.

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

A friendly reminder on Day 8 of the Republican-led government shutdown: Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. They own this shutdown and all of its consequences.

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

House Democrats are continuing to hold the line to make healthcare more affordable for all Americans. We are in this fight - together.

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

2️⃣ He’s blocking Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva from being sworn in because her vote could bring the release of the Epstein files one step closer. That terrifies House Republicans apparently more than the thought of millions of Americans - a high % in red states - from losing healthcare.

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

1️⃣ After cutting a trillion dollars from healthcare in our country, Republicans are set on letting ACA tax credits expire. Because of their actions (and inaction), premiums are going to go up across the country. Their plan? Keep the government shutdown so they aren’t here to be held accountable.

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

Speaker Johnson cancelled votes again this week because House Republicans are in a complete bind. How so? 🧵

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

House Democrats will continue conducting oversight, holding ICE and private prison companies accountable, and ensuring everyone is treated with basic human dignity.

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

This is absolutely shameful. My heart breaks for the families of the 21 immigrants killed on ICE's watch this year. These unsafe conditions at privately run, for-profit ICE facilities show a profound disregard for the well-being of mothers, fathers, sons & daughters.

Every child in New Jersey deserves an outstanding public education where they can learn and thrive. Grateful to Mayor Sires and local leaders for breaking ground on a new middle school in West New York and making this vision a reality.

At a time when energy bills are skyrocketing, the Trump Admin is cancelling clean energy projects in NJ & across the country. That's why I joined my colleagues in demanding DOE reinstate these projects that will lower electricity costs & increase grid reliability. NJ’s families depend on it.

Open post ↗

SEEC Clean Energy Deployment Task Force Co-Chairs @levin.house.gov & @casten.house.gov led 163 Dems to demand that DOE reinstate $8B in projects that would lower electricity costs for all Americans. Trump's reckless energy policy only makes it more expensive for families to keep the lights on.

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

As we reflect on this fateful day, we must keep pushing to bring every hostage home, end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and secure an enduring peace for everyone in the region. I will forever be hopeful that we can achieve these goals and finally bring an end to this tragic conflict.

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

Today marks two years since the attack on Israel by Hamas - and two years of captivity for the remaining hostages.

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

Speaker Johnson, earlier today: "Republicans are the party working around the clock everyday to fix healthcare. This is not talking points for us: we've done it."

🚨 Video of Trump golfing at his Virginia golf club today. This is what he was doing instead of working to keep the government open.

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

It's Day 6 of the Republican-led government shutdown. House Democrats are holding the line, fighting for your healthcare and here to serve you.

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

I look forward to continuing to support them & the incredible work they do in Hudson County and beyond.

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

📍North Hudson Community Action Corporation in Union City 📢 While Republicans work to cut Medicaid & make it harder for Americans to have access to affordable care, it's critical we stand up for our Federally Qualified Health Centers & protect the essential services millions rely on.
