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.

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.

Rep. Troy Carter and Rep. Cleo Fields said it best: "we must not allow the erosion of its promise; not now, not in Louisiana, not anywhere, and not on our watch."

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

The stakes couldn't be higher. The courts should protect the rights of every American, not empowering those who want to silence them.

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

This case could pave the way for discriminatory racial gerrymandering, diminish the voting rights of so many friends and neighbors, and directly result in an estimated 19 more Republican seats in Congress.

Now, SCOTUS is considering eroding the Voting Rights Act and its protections for minority voters.

The right to vote is the foundation of everything we fight for. Without it, every other freedom is at risk.

Yesterday, SCOTUS heard arguments in Louisiana v. Callais. Every single American should be paying attention. Here's why 🧵

By terminating funding for Gateway, Trump is sending a message with his immature, mob boss antics. “The message is loud and clear,” said one Jersey union worker, “we take the hit.”

📢 Join me for a Telephone Town Hall on Thursday, October 16th at 5:00PM to talk about the government shutdown, how it impacts our NJ communities, and what's at stake. Your voice matters in this fight. Share your questions when you submit the RSVP form.

Federal workers serve this country with dedication every single day. I joined over 150 of my colleagues to ensure the Trump Administration follows the law and backpays furloughed employees. To every federal worker: we value you, we thank you, and we’ll keep fighting for you.

Today marks the last day of #HispanicHeritageMonth, but our commitment to our Latino communities continues every single day. In these challenging times, we must keep fighting for equal opportunity & basic dignity for all, charting a better path forward for every one of our neighbors - together.

Our communities are stronger because of the contributions of ALL of our neighbors. We are a nation of immigrants — we can never forget that. #HispanicHeritageMonth

The Trump Administration has RIF’d career civil servants since day one. While a federal judge may have provided temporary reprieve for federal employees during the shutdown, we must keep fighting to protect all federal employees from unprecedented and illegal RIFs.

Judge orders Trump administration to pause shutdown layoffs

Unions have sued to block dismissals during the government shutdown.

Too many families in NJ and across the country are dealing with rising costs. Republicans need to come to DC to reopen the government, cancel Medicaid cuts, and extend ACA tax credits. That’s what this fight is about.🤝

This week, I visited north Jersey and sat down with union workers about the government shutdown and how Trump freezing funds for the Gateway Project impacts them. More from our conversation coming soon.
