Protecting public health should be a priority for all of us—regardless of political party. When Sarah Katz passed away in 2022 after consuming a highly caffeinated drink, her parents turned their grief into advocacy, working to prevent more deaths from poor caffeine labeling standards.

Today marks 13 years since the creation of #DACA, providing hope and opportunities for countless Dreamers. As the future of this vital program hangs in the balance, we must use today to recommit ourselves to protecting Dreamers; their lives depend on it.

I was proud to stand with Rep. Frank Pallone & our E&C colleagues to fight against GOP cuts to the healthcare that so many New Jerseyans rely on. Meanwhile Tom Kean stayed silent and voted to advance a bill that could strip coverage from thousands of his constituents. Read our full op-ed below ⬇️

If your GOP House Rep won’t fight for Medicaid for you, we will | Opinion

Frank Pallone Jr. and Rob Menendez: Under the GOP bill, New Jersey is expected to receive $3.6 billion less in federal funding for Medicaid every year.

#HappyFathersDay to the 8th District & beyond! Thankful for these two munchkins who have brought so much joy to my life.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 14(source)

📍Newark #NoKings Rally w/ @replamonica.bsky.social and Mayor Baraka. 💪 NJ Alliance for Immigrant Justice 📢 Today was about everyone showing up and making their voices heard. Power is with the people and there is nothing that we can’t achieve - together.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 14(source)

If they value their work then they need to value their existence in our country and their right to protected status. @HouseDemocrats.bsky.social will keep fighting for real reform that protects our immigrant neighbors AND our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 14(source)

The Trump Admin knows the truth: immigrants are essential to our economy. And this isn’t news, Republicans have always been hypocritical and dishonest when it comes to immigrants by supporting Trump’s policies but carving out industries in their states like agriculture which rely on immigrants.

And my thoughts are with the nation in these difficult times. But we must “strive on to finish the work we are in to bind up the nation’s wounds.”

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 14(source)

I’m completely devastated by the news of two Minnesota lawmakers and their spouses who were shot in targeted shootings last night. My thoughts are with their families, communities, and everyone impacted by these callous attacks.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 13(source)

🚨During our visit, GEO execs showed up in full force likely concerned what this means for their bottom line. We will continue conducting oversight, holding these groups accountable, and ensuring everyone is treated with basic human dignity.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 13(source)

📍Delaney Hall in Newark with @kim.senate.gov 📢 We performed an oversight visit after yesterday’s concerning reports. Everything we learned today confirmed what we knew: private detention centers put profits above all else.

My statement on Israel's attack on Iran:

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 13(source)

We aren’t backing down. @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social @housedemocrats.bsky.social

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 12(source)

I said it at Delaney Hall, and I’ll say it again now after Senator Padilla was handcuffed for doing his job: this Administration wants to intimidate us. They want to silence us for standing up against their cruelty. We cannot let that happen. We won’t let that happen.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 12(source)

Honored to speak at the 40th Annual Cyprus Conference. Cyprus is an incredibly important ally, and I am committed to strengthening our bonds and supporting sovereignty and reunification efforts. Proud to champion these priorities in Congress.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 12(source)

So great to welcome our Congressional Art Competition winner, Tasha Fu, to Washington yesterday! Her piece, “Forever Young in Spirit,” will be displayed at the Capitol for a year. You make Hoboken & the entire 8th so proud! Well done, Tasha!

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 12(source)

Republicans argue that rolling back clean air protections is good for business. But more pollution means sicker workers, higher costs, and unsafe communities. @energycommerce.bsky.social Dems called them out today.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 11(source)

Thanks to the CHCI for stopping by! Grateful for programs like these that uplift our Latino students and drive meaningful change in our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJun 11(source)

My @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social colleagues & I will keep working to ensure all DACA-eligible members of our communities are protected because if we lose them & their talent, our entire economy will suffer.
