📍Autism Awareness Day in Elizabeth 🧩 On Autism Awareness Day, it's a privilege to be with friends and advocates who are working to promote acceptance and deliver resources to those who need them in our communities and beyond. I'll always support their role in our communities every day.

A year ago, Trump promised “liberation”. All you need to ask yourself is: Is your life more affordable now than it was a year ago? Trump and Republicans have failed the American people. We can do better. We must do better.

Have Trump's tariffs worked? This is where things stand a year after 'Liberation Day'

It has been a year since President Trump announced double-digit tariffs on imports from around the world. So far, those levies have not produced the economic boom the president promised.

Republicans will fill the pews to celebrate Easter on Sunday, while Pastor Yeison is held at Delaney Hall. The fight for the soul of our nation continues.

Whether it's at Delaney Hall or the halls of Congress, I'm proud to stand alongside her as we continue to protect our NJ communities & hold the Trump Admin accountable.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 2(source)

We’d need a lot of money to take care of Trump at the senior daycare Melania and Vance are about to check him into.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.

Wishing a blessed Passover to all those celebrating. As families gather around the table tonight with loved ones, may this Passover bring hope and light as we look towards a better world. Wishing peace for all. Chag Sameach!

This ruling reaffirms that the trusted voices we count on should stay where they belong. NPR and PBS are lifelines for our families, and we should be investing more in them, not less.

Citing First Amendment, federal judge blocks Trump order to end funding for NPR and PBS

📍Celebrating 90 years of Goya with a day of giving in Jersey City 🙏 Grateful to join neighbors for #GoyaGiveDay to help get food to families across our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 1(source)

Trump is only doing this because he knows if Republicans had to compete in a free and fair election tomorrow, they would lose. Elections are run by states, not by Trump. This is unconstitutional and it will be fought.

Trump signs order directing creation of a national voter list, a move already facing lawsuit threats

President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that aims to tighten voting rules by creating a national list of eligible voters and limiting mail ballots.

Thankful for the opportunity to join Mayor Solomon and council members at Jersey City’s Trans Day of Visibility. My message was simple: real courage isn’t about putting people down—it’s about lifting each other up. I will always fight for everyone’s right to live with dignity. 🏳️‍⚧️

From Jimmy Kimmel to 60 Minutes, the Trump Administration is trying to control how we get our news. This is political censorship, plain and simple. I called Republicans out on it.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 29(source)

I will continue fighting for these protections to keep our neighbors safe from Trump’s assault on our communities.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 29(source)

Proud to stand with @pressley.house.gov in her successful drive to force a vote to extend TPS protections for Haitians, offering stability to families who contribute to our country every day.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govMar 28(source)

Trump promised to go after violent criminals. Instead under our "pro-life" President, ICE is detaining pregnant women & mothers who have just given birth - as I have seen firsthand at Delaney Hall. ICE's detention centers are horrific & they are no place for mothers or children. This must end.

ICE has been deporting pregnant and postpartum immigrants. Now we know how many.

The numbers offer the most detailed look at how many pregnant, postpartum and nursing people have been caught up in the immigration enforcement surge, despite federal policy discouraging the practice.
