What I saw today in Newark is a scene I never imagined experiencing in my lifetime. But I refuse to believe today reflects who we are as a country. We must all commit to correcting the course our country is on. Standing side by side, I know we can achieve those better tomorrows - together.

Big news! Hoboken’s City Council is calling for improvements to—and expansion of—the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail. 🚃

We’ve teamed up with @HudCoStreets to push for better service, and momentum is growing. I’ll keep fighting for the reliable, modern transit our communities deserve. 🤝

Loved stopping by the Liberty State Park 50th anniversary history and art exhibit in @JerseyCity!

Grateful to @LibertyParkNJ and President Sam Pesin for their tireless work to protect this Hudson County treasure. Proud to be their partner in Congress—and I’ll always fight to keep Liberty State Park the People’s Park!

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

.@BAYONNEDD is vital to our national security and a powerful economic driver for Bayonne and beyond.

Proud to help secure nearly $700,000 in federal funding to support local jobs and upgrade equipment. I’ll keep fighting for our maritime industry and the workers who keep it strong.

📍Celebrating Halloween with our seniors in West New York

🎃 Always great to be with Mayor Albio Sires and our favorite residents at @TownofWNY’s Halloween celebration! Thank you to Mayor Sires and the WNY commissioners for making this such a special event every year!

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

No one should face intimidation when casting their ballot.

That’s why I joined @SenatorAndyKim and our New Jersey Democratic colleagues to demand clear assurances that voters will be protected and our elections will be free from federal interference.

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

Today is the first day of early voting in New Jersey. That’s why I’m taking action to ensure our elections remain free from federal interference. 

In a democracy, voters choose their leaders, not the other way around. https://t.co/6Avk3UXh7t

My @HouseDemocrats colleagues and I are ready to take action to address AI with the urgency it requires.

Republicans can't say the same.

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, he’s making life more expensive for working families.

While House Republicans stay silent, @HouseDemocrats are ready to tackle the affordability crisis and put working families first.

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

I joined Councilman Michael Silva on Ferry Street in the Ironbound to hear directly from our small business owners.

Republican immigration policies are spreading fear, driving down foot traffic, and hurting local livelihoods.

Our small businesses are the backbone of our communities. I’ll always have their backs in Congress.

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

📍Celebrating Navratri in @JerseyCity

🥁 Nothing quite like celebrating Navratri in Little India with our incredible community!

Wishing everyone health, happiness, and prosperity. Grateful for the traditions that bring us together as we keep building a community where everyone belongs. 🙏🫶

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

Congratulations to Bayonne HS Girls Soccer and Harrison HS Boys Soccer on winning the HCIAL titles! ⚽️🏆

A big shoutout to all our teams for their hard work, dedication, and memorable seasons. Our student-athletes make @HudCoTweet proud! 🙌

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

Today, I stood with workers outside Bayway Refinery in Linden as they fight for fair treatment, better benefits, and safer working conditions. ✊

When workers win, we all win.

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

We can harness the promise of AI to improve our lives but we have to first address the peril.

Thank you to the experts from New Jersey’s academic institutions who joined our roundtable with my friend and @EnergyCommerce Ranking Member @FrankPallone. Important conversation, more work to do.

@HouseDemocrats are ready to lead and deliver responsible AI solutions for the American people.

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

This is voter intimidation.

Under the Trump Administration, people are afraid to go to work, send their children to school, travel—and now, exercise their most fundamental democratic right: voting.

Make no mistake: this was never about election security or targeting the “worst of the worst.” It has always been about fear and control.

No one should be afraid to cast a ballot.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Armed and in uniform, agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been knocking on doors to ask residents about their immigration status whether they're registered to vote. https://t.co/lK9zZJblDy

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

Nothing like spending time with our favorite Jersey City residents! 🫶

Visits to the Joseph Connors Senior Center in the Heights always leave me smiling. I’ll keep practicing my phonetic alphabet before my next turn calling bingo!

B as in Bruuuuceeee… right? 🎤😂

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

Honored to receive a 100% rating on @HRC’s Congressional Scorecard.

I will always fight for the rights and dignity of our LGBTQ+ community—and for a future where everyone can live proudly, freely, and authentically. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

[Rep. Rob Menendez @RepMenendez]

As energy bills skyrocket, no family should have to choose between keeping the lights on and paying for food or childcare.

That’s why I teamed up with @RepChrisPappas to push for expanded heating and cooling assistance through LIHEAP.

I’ll always fight to lower costs and ensure our communities have the support they need to keep their homes safe and comfortable year-round.

[Rep. Chris Pappas @RepChrisPappas]

LIHEAP is a lifeline for many, but the program is woefully underfunded. Adjusting for inflation, if LIHEAP were funded at the same level as it was 45 years ago, the program would have received nearly $7 billion in FY27.

I’m leading a bipartisan call to increase funding for this essential program.

I stand with @CongressmanRaja. We are grateful that the horrific plot targeting a Hindu temple was foiled, but we cannot ignore the hate threatening our neighbors.

I joined more than 100 colleagues in urging the FBI to investigate this as a hate crime. Everyone deserves to live and worship without fear.

[Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi @CongressmanRaja]

I led 105 lawmakers in demanding the FBI investigate the attempted mass shooting at my family’s Hindu temple in Aurora as a potential hate crime.
We must confront the rising tide of anti-Indian hate and the online threats putting our communities at risk.

📍Bayonne Drydock — the largest dry dock in the Northeast!

Proud to help secure nearly $700,000 in federal funding for @BAYONNEDD to support local jobs, upgrade equipment, and strengthen our national security.

This investment helps keep Bayonne a premier hub for repairing and upgrading military and commercial vessels. Grateful to Bayonne Drydock for investing in our workforce and community. 🚢
