The President’s attack on collective bargaining for federal workers is unprecedented and illegal. @laborcaucus.bsky.social and House Democrats are fighting back, demanding that the President reverse course. When it comes to protecting our civil servants, we won’t back down.

With Women’s History Month behind us, I’m reflecting on our celebration of some of the amazing women of the Eighth District—leaders, educators, caregivers, and change makers. Your strength shapes our communities every day. Here's to honoring you all year long! 💜

Wonderful to kick off Autism Acceptance Month with Hudson County Executive Craig Guy and Whole Spectrum Autism! The work continues to promote acceptance and deliver resources to those who need them in Hudson County and beyond.

In these challenging times, this is exactly what I need pumped straight into my veins. June 27th - the real Liberation Day!

Adriana’s story is heart-wrenching - but one that must be heard. She is one of the many faces of Trump’s mass deportation efforts, highlighting the cruelty and lawlessness of this Administration. Our office will continue to do everything we can to help her and her family.

Adriana Quiroz Zapata is just one of a growing number who have been caught in the dragnet, but her saga illustrates the human costs of what the administration is doing. @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social has her story in the latest edition of Huddled Masses:

This is a complete disaster. House Democrats will fight back, but Republicans need to grow a spine and speak out against Trump’s unhinged trade policy.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 3(source)

Domestically, these tariffs will likely increase prices for Americans, intensify the affordability challenge so many are facing, and increase the likelihood of a recession. The only folks who will get through this unscathed are the ultra wealthy like Musk.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govApr 3(source)

Tariffs are a strategic tool that can be used by any administration to achieve certain goals. What Trump is doing is reckless and will further erode America’s standing in the world and credibility with all of our allies.

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

Be sure to join me and Rep. Frank Pallone on Instagram live TOMORROW at 9:45 am to discuss the Republican cuts to Medicaid and how we're fighting back!

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

In this moment, we cannot be silent nor accept attacks on the federal judiciary as something normal. That’s why I went to the House Floor to uplift @americanbar.org's work and encourage others to take action👇

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

@booker.senate.gov did more than just break a record - an incredible feat on its own. He also provided a vision for what our country can be. Proud to call him a friend and honored to be doing this important work alongside him 💪

Humbled to have the Katz family and other advocates on the Hill yesterday to announce the Sarah Katz Caffeine Safety Act. Jill and Michael Katz have courageously turned their grief into advocacy, and together, we're working to save lives. Learn more about the bill here: menendez.house.gov/sarahkatz

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

I went to the House Floor to speak against the Trump Administration’s immigration enforcement actions and to share a constituent’s story as a warning and call to action. Watch 👇

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

Great to see @booker.senate.gov fight the good fight tonight, speaking out against Republicans’ attempts to cut funding for Medicaid / NJ FamilyCare. Stay strong, my friend. We are in this fight together 🤝

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

Heard @booker.senate.gov was getting in some good trouble in the Senate, so I thought I’d go check it out.

On Transgender Day of Visibility, I’m here to support our transgender friends and neighbors and to make sure they can be their authentic selves. 🏳️‍⚧️

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

This is a direct assault on the rights of federal workers. Did you know that over 80% of them work outside of the DC area, supporting communities nationwide? So instead of stripping their rights, let’s thank them for their service to our country. And you can count on House Dems to stand with them.

President Trump's new executive order ends collective bargaining for wide swaths of federal employees, as part of his broader campaign to reshape the government's workforce. Unions are vowing to sue.

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

This can’t be what we stand for as a country and it is something as a representative of a proud immigrant community that I will always fight against. ✊

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

And here’s the thing: when Trump talks about mass deportations, this is what he means. Taking people in the middle of the night who have a RIGHT to be here and trying to remove them to foreign countries.
