Yesterday, I met w/ Gov. Murphy & my NJ colleagues to tackle the issues that matter—affordability, better transit & lowering health care costs. At a time when the Trump Admin. is implementing a harmful & divisive agenda, it's vital that we working together to deliver real solutions for NJ families.

One of the best parts of being a Member of Congress is nominating constituents to military academies. Today, I was honored to call a high school senior from Weehawken and let him know that he's been accepted to West Point!

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

During today’s E&C hearing, I made it clear that energy dominance cannot come at the expense of communities that have faced environmental injustice for far too long. We must continue to support places like Elizabeth & the Ironbound with funding for environmental justice initiatives. Watch 👇

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 5(source)

Shutting down USAID jeopardizes our national security and undermines our global influence. That’s why I’ve joined my colleagues in demanding Secretary Rubio reverse these reckless moves and protect USAID’s mission to strengthen America’s influence worldwide.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 5(source)

With ICE raids happening nationwide, it’s crucial to know your rights. No matter your status, you have legal protections. Access our Know Your Rights flyer in 12 languages here: menendez.house.gov/services/kno...

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 5(source)

Nobody elected Elon Musk yet Trump has handed him the keys to the federal govt. That’s unacceptable. That’s why I joined my colleagues today at the Treasury Dept. to exercise our oversight authority. Democrats are in this fight because you’ve sent us here to fight & that’s exactly what we’ll do.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 4(source)

As we continue celebrating Black History Month, it was an honor to join Elizabeth for their African American Flag Raising ceremony. I was proud to recognize the Nesbitt-Good family, whose 4 generations of service have uplifted the fight for equity, opportunity & justice in the Elizabeth community.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govFeb 4(source)

Removing information about equity and inclusion is more important to this administration than our constituents having access to information and resources about what the federal government can do for them. Breaking it to “fix it” is not a winning strategy or one we will accept.

Thousands of U.S. Government Web Pages Have Been Taken Down Since Friday

Federal agencies moved to satisfy Trump’s orders to remove topics like diversity initiatives and “gender ideology.”

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

As we celebrate Black History Month, we recognize that Black history is American history, and we honor those in @stateofnewjersey and across the country who have made this a reality. Their contributions are a reminder of why we must continue the fight for a more just and equal nation.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 31(source)

Congratulations to my friend, Assemblywoman Annette Quijano, on her selection as Speaker Pro Tempore of the General Assembly! Annette is a passionate advocate for the people of the City of Elizabeth and Union County, and it’s truly a privilege to work with her in support of our community.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 30(source)

Great time getting to call bingo w/ Jersey City seniors. And during our visit, we had the chance to update them on the Trump funding freeze & answer their questions abt potential impacts to the programs and services they most rely on. Grateful for the chance to listen, learn & for the hospitality!

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 30(source)

Great to see Hudson County Community College increase their enrollment by 10.5%! Their focus on quality education, affordability, and career-focused programs (incl. cybersecurity) is clearly working. Our office will continue to uplift their work and support their mission!

Hudson County Community College touts 10.5% enrollment hike since last spring - Hudson County View

Hudson County Community College is touting a 10.5 percent enrollment hike since last spring, President Dr. Christopher Reber announced.

Proud to join Mayor Grilo in presenting $500K for the East Newark Recreation Center! This funding will support much-needed improvements and enhance the overall experience for our community. Excited for the positive changes ahead!

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 30(source)

Devastating to hear of the crash of Flight 5342 & a U.S. Army Helicopter at DCA. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and all impacted. Thank you to the first responders. As we learn more, we must ensure this doesn’t happen again & that American aviation continues to lead in safety.

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

President Trump’s freeze on federal aid has been temporarily blocked, but the fight isn't over. If this goes through, millions in NJ could lose healthcare, housing, and critical services. Read our statement & take our survey below to let us know how Trump's plan could impact you. 🔗 bit.ly/42Ajouq

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

The Trump Administration is openly targeting the LGBTQ+ community by banning transgender service members & limiting essential healthcare. As their rights are under attack, we must stand with ALL Americans. That’s why I visited the Hudson Pride Center to support their important work.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 26(source)

ICE recently conducted a raid in our district, inflicting fear and undermining our Constitution. And while we worry there could be more, we won’t sit by idly. That’s why we're demanding answers from the Trump admin. We will always stand with our community especially during these challenging times.

Rep. Rob Menendez@menendez.house.govJan 25(source)

Today, on what would have been Congressman Bill Pascrell’s birthday, we honor his legacy as a tireless advocate for New Jersey. I’m grateful to have called him a friend & I will always cherish our time together—his wisdom, passion & dedication are deeply missed. His impact will never be forgotten.

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

Newark is an inclusive community with ppl from different backgrounds & a community I’m proud to represent w/ Rep. LaMonica McIver. While the Trump admin seeks to instill fear into our communities, we’ll stand w/ our friends, family & neighbors. We are in this together. Watch👇 youtu.be/UlEXnVjdU04
