Our team had an incredible visit to the USNS Watson at Bayonne Dry Dock! I was proud to join local veterans and dedicated military personnel to tour this vessel that’s being worked on here in the district (and got to meet a constituent from Hoboken who is stationed on this ship).

Finally, as we mark this somber anniversary, let's remember that Ukraine’s fight is not just their fight—it's a fight for freedom, democracy, and human rights worldwide. Together, we stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

Quick, friendly reminder: Putin IS an ACTUAL dictator who has never been a friend to our country.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

Trump's recent comments calling President Zelensky a "dictator" are a distortion of fact and history. Ukraine is a free nation, and Zelensky was democratically elected. We must stand firm in supporting their sovereignty and right to self-determination against Putin’s invasion.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

I proudly cosponsored the Stand with Ukraine Act and the REPO for Ukrainians Act—crucial legislation that strengthens Ukraine’s defense, supports refugees, and holds Russia accountable for its invasion. We’ll keep pushing until Ukraine’s victory is secured.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

As a Jersey City resident, it brings me so much pride to see how our city has welcomed so many Ukrainian refugees and how our Ukrainian neighbors have stepped up BIG time to advocate for Ukraine’s future. 🫶

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

We’ve met with our neighbors and friends from the American Coalition for Ukraine to hear directly from them about how we can provide more support and address the challenges they face during this difficult time.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

I sat down with NJ Spotlight News to emphasize the importance of ensuring Ukraine and President Zelensky are at the table when their country’s fate is being discussed. Ukraine’s future must be shaped by Ukrainians, and they must be part of any peace talks about their sovereignty. Watch👇

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 24(source)

Today marks 3 years since Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. I will continue to stand by our ally as they bravely defend their land and future. From Day One, we have stood by our Ukrainian friends here and abroad. Here’s how🧵:

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 23(source)

Drastic cuts to Medicaid and other healthcare programs would hurt our most vulnerable including children and pregnant women. That is unacceptable. @housedemocrats.bsky.social offer a better path forward, but we must be clear, forceful & disciplined in showing that to the American people. Watch 👇

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 23(source)

None of this is right, and we should all be angry about it. So just know I will keep fighting back and standing up for all those who serve the red, white, and blue.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 23(source)

Bottom line: we should want our best and brightest serving our country. But when Trump and Musk attack those who have dedicated their careers to the 🇺🇸 and undermine their work, we are driving them - good, qualified Americans - away from the work that will shape the future of our country.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 23(source)

Baseless firings will lead to worse health outcomes and higher costs for the most vulnerable in our communities and will stall critical research on diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s (RIP abuela).

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 23(source)

Make America Healthy Again? Trump has fired dedicated civil servants at multiple agencies (National Institutes of Health, Food and Drug Admin, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid) whose sole mission is keep our communities safe and healthy.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 23(source)

Air Traffic Controllers and other safety officials at the FAA are the experts who keep our skies safe and running efficiently. I've been to the ATC tower at EWR Airport and the work they do is incredible. We need WAY more of them, not less.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 23(source)

Federal employees received a "what did you do last week?" email from Musk and his team, which is insane. They are public servants who keep our nation safe, families healthy, and economy running. These brazen efforts to gut the workforce will have a profound impact across the country. Here’s how: 🧵

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 23(source)

I had a great time at Union College of Union County, NJ , touring the Elizabeth Campus and meeting with students. And I always enjoy getting to see the Trinitas School of Nursing lab and learning a new skill or two. @underwood.house.gov - how did I do?

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 22(source)

The chaos and disruption that this administration is causing has a direct impact on hospitals, schools, and communities across the country. We can work together to make government more efficient and to modernize how we deliver services to our constituents. But this is not the way. Watch 👇

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 22(source)

We must do everything we can to protect our communities, our children and fight back against actions that tear us apart. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

11-year-old took her own life over deportation threats, family says

‘I waited a whole week for a miracle that my daughter would be well, but unfortunately, nothing could be done,’ despaired her mother

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 22(source)

This is truly heartbreaking. Jocelynn Rojo Carranza should still be here with us. These are the real consequences of the harmful rhetoric about immigrants, which is causing irreparable harm across the country.
