My thoughts are with his family, friends, the UVU community who witnessed this horrific act and our entire country in this moment.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

We must all unequivocally condemn the tragic killing of Charlie Kirk. Gun violence and political violence must have no place in our country.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Protecting our neighborhoods and putting safety first must always come before special interests. We won’t stop until we get it done.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Since then, we’ve kept the pressure on the FAA—introducing legislation, demanding answers, and pushing for solutions to reduce non-essential helicopter traffic.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Five months ago, a tragic helicopter crash on the Hudson claimed six lives and shook our community.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

We can’t as a nation turn our back on these incredible individuals as doing so would be a betrayal of the promise of our nation.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

In these challenging times, my @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social colleagues and I will always stand with them. And we will always fight to ensure all DACA-eligible members of our communities are protected.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Dreamers across our communities are living in constant fear because of the Trump Administration’s immigration policies.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

House Democrats will keep working every single day to meet this moment and protect our communities - together.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Republicans claim their focus is on eliminating waste across the government and being more efficient. But they failed to do that. In reality, this was how they justified taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans and slashing food assistance.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

Funding our emergency management systems should be an issue EVERYONE cares about - regardless of political party. Yet Republicans are cutting the very resources, like NextGen 911 & emergency alerting through public broadcasting, that equip our first responders & keep all of us safe & informed.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govSep 10(source)

As a New Jerseyan who lived through Superstorm Sandy, I know how important programs like the NGWS are for delivering timely emergency alerts. That’s why I joined my colleagues in urging FEMA to preserve this program that is critical to life-saving alert systems for our communities.

I led a letter to FEMA with Rep. @menendez.house.gov and @repaprildelaney.bsky.social, to demand that the agency protect the Next Generation Warning System so every American can receive critical emergency alerts — no matter their zip code.

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

SCOTUS is enabling the Trump Admin to continue its brazen approach to immigration enforcement, leaning into lawlessness & racial profiling. This isn't about keeping us safe and it never was. House Democrats will keep fighting to ensure due process & press back against this unlawful Admin.

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

House Democrats stand united against these cuts & will keep fighting back.

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

Giving one millionaire an $80,000 tax cut means 4 people lose health insurance - and countless others see their benefits reduced. It's clear that House Republicans will choose tax giveaways for the top .01% any day over affordable and accessible healthcare for those who need it most.

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

SCOTUS just gave the green light for this admin to racially profile our friends & neighbors. This is yet another instance of the Trump Admin inflicting fear & chaos in our communities. This is not - and should not be - who we are as a country. House Democrats will never relent in this fight.

Breaking News: The Supreme Court lifted restrictions on ICE agents in Los Angeles, allowing them to make indiscriminate stops based on factors like ethnicity.

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

The expanded Child Tax Credit is a sure-fired way to improve the lives of countless children across the country. This should be a non-partisan issue and House Republicans can join House Democrats in the fight to make child care accessible and affordable for all.

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

I’m proud that federal funding helped make this possible. I’ll keep working in Congress to support greener spaces and ensure every family can enjoy them for generations to come.

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

Parks like Southwest Resiliency are essential to our communities, bringing neighbors together, improving public health, and protecting our environment.

N.J. town transforms parking lot into 6 pickleball courts, doubles size of exiting park

The park, once a parking lot, now features six pickleball courts, a full basketball court, playground, splash pad, and other amenities.

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

That’s why I’m proud to recently back legislation which would make it easier for first responders to buy a home with a new FHA loan program. Grateful for their service—and for our community that supports them.
