Rep. Rob Menendez

Ukrainians in our communities should not have to live in uncertainty.

That’s why I joined 30+ of my colleagues in urging the Administration to stand by Ukrainians living in the U.S. through the Uniting for Ukraine program and honor the promises already made to our refugees.

This #NationalInternDay, I want to thank our amazing interns for their hard work and commitment to supporting NJ-08!

Your energy and creativity drive our mission forward every day. 🫶

📍Jersey City

🎉 Cheers to 10 years of 902 Brewing!🍻

📢 Always great to support and uplift dedicated businesses that are the fabric of our communities.

But House Democrats are fighting back every single day to protect and strengthen these programs for today’s families and future generations.

Today, Republicans are working to roll back that progress–turning away from seniors, children, and those who rely on these essential programs the most.

60 years ago, Medicare & Medicaid were created to advance the goal of ensuring all Americans have access to affordable care.

Grateful to join NJCU, SHCCNJ, and NJEDA to celebrate new investments towards the Hispanic Business Hub!

These efforts expand opportunity for Hispanic students and entrepreneurs, ensuring everyone in our community feels empowered. 🤝

📍Hoboken Museum for Bebe Bambu’s Coconut Mask Expo 🥥🇵🇷

🎨 This is one of my favorite spaces - so much packed into the museum. And a place for artists like Bebe Bambu to exhibit their incredible work!

Thanks for showing us around! Until the next time! 🫶

Cutting digital equity funding means denying seniors, veterans, people with disabilities, & other vulnerable Americans the tools they need to thrive in today’s economy.

I led my NJ Dem colleagues in demanding the Trump Admin restore the $2.75B they cut—including $20M for our NJ communities.

In E&C, I called out Republicans for trying to block Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood. Every single one still voted to defund it.

Now, a federal judge ruled their effort is illegal.

As a proud member of the Repro Caucus, I’ll always fight for reproductive freedom & health care for all.

📍Yama Seafood in Jersey City 
 
📢 Businesses like these are an example of the hard work and local pride that define Hudson County & beyond.

To every New Jerseyan, near and far:

Happy #NationalNewJerseyDay!

I’m honored to represent the great Garden State and the community that shaped me every single day. Here’s to all of us building a stronger NJ together. 🫶

My statement on the incredibly dire and devastating humanitarian crisis in Gaza:

Today marks 250 years of USPS!

As the Trump Administration pushes to privatize this public service, House Democrats are fighting to protect its essential services so many rely on.

📍City of Elizabeth Peterstown Cultural Festival

🎉 Great to celebrate our Italian American community in Peterstown and across the 8th 🇮🇹 Thanks to Mayor Bollwage for showing me around and to the Mazza family for their contributions to this community!

Every day, we fight back against the harmful impact of the Trump Administration’s immigration policies—policies that have spread fear and division in our neighborhoods.

These are challenging times, but by standing together, we will persevere.

I want to thank Union County for listening to our community and standing up for what’s right.

By rejecting any plan to use the former Union County Jail for ICE or private immigration detention, they showed that we can uphold our values while responsibly managing public resources.

Trump’s AI Action Plan & new executive orders are deeply troubling & undermine responsible AI innovation.

My AI Caucus colleagues & I will keep fighting for policies that safeguard AI development & fully leverage the potential of AI for all Americans without giving a handout to Big Tech.

Everyone deserves to be treated with fairness and dignity—and we’ll keep fighting for an immigration system that reflects those values.

Private detention centers don’t reflect the values of our district, our state, or our country.

We’re pushing back against the Trump Admin’s plan to detain immigrants at Joint Base McGuire Dix-Lakehurst.

My statement on the decision in CoreCivic v. New Jersey:

My joint statement with @booker.senate.gov on the Trump Administration's Firing First Assistant Desiree Grace.

Hudson County Prosecutor's Office Launches Blue Envelope Program for Autism Awareness During Traffic Stops Hudson Countys Blue Envelope program, enhancing safety and communication for individuals with Autism and sensory disorders- How you can participate.

Proud to see Hudson County launching the Blue Envelope program to help create safer, more supportive interactions between law enforcement and individuals with autism.

Autism awareness must be part of everything we do—especially when it comes to public safety. 👏

Republicans have brought the House to a standstill, canceled votes, and won’t bring us back for weeks.

Why?

Because they don't want to vote on releasing the Epstein files.

House Rs want to make it seem like everything is completely normal. It’s not, and we called them on it.

The Trump Administration officially ended dedicated LGBTQ+ services through 988 last week.

To our friends and neighbors who are experiencing a mental health or substance-related crisis: you are not alone, and there are resources available to you.

NJ SNAP recipients may be hit hard by federal cuts | NJ Spotlight News More than 22M households, including 400,000 in NJ, could lose some or all of their food-assistance benefits under a new federal law.

SNAP and nutrition assistance programs keep food on the table and lifesaving care within reach for thousands of New Jersey families.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social won’t stand by while Republicans continue to wage a war on working families and their dignity.

Republicans rolled back ACA support while also cutting Medicaid—& millions of Americans will feel the impact soon.

In NJ-08, the average ACA premium increase will be $1,210 next year—forcing families to make impossible choices about their health care.

This isn’t just politics, it’s people’s lives.
