@RepMenendez
Olivia and Robert's second favorite parent. Husband to Alex. Congressman for #NJ08 - the district with the best people and food no questions asked.
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 -…
Today marks 250 years of @USPS! As the Trump Administration pushes to privatize this public service, @HouseDemocrats are fighting to protect its essential services so many rely on. cbsnews.com/amp/news/posta…
📍@CityofElizabeth Peterstown Cultural Festival 🎉 Great to celebrate our Italian American community in Peterstown and across the 8th 🇮🇹 Thanks to @MayorBollwage for showing me around and to the Mazza family for their contributions to this community!
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…
Every day I’m fighting against Trump’s harmful immigration policies. The results of which have already had dire consequences in our district. That’s why I’m moved to speak out against the potential harm of another private detention center opening in the 8th. Read my letter to…
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…
New: Congressional AI Caucus Democrats’ Statement on President Trump’s AI Action Plan and AI Executive Orders With @DorisMatsui @RepBonamici @ValerieFoushee @RepHankJohnson @Rep_McBride @RepMcGovern @RepMenendez beyer.house.gov/news/documents…
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. Everyone deserves to be treated with fairness and dignity—and we’ll keep…

Trump lies. @HouseDemocrats deliver. We will always fight for all Americans and continue to offer a real path forward that delivers on America’s promise. 👊
My statement on the decision in CoreCivic v. New Jersey:
My joint statement with @SenBooker on the Trump Administration's Firing First Assistant Desiree Grace.
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.
SNAP and nutrition assistance programs keep food on the table and lifesaving care within reach for thousands of New Jersey families. @HouseDemocrats won’t stand by while Republicans continue to wage a war on working families and their dignity. njspotlightnews.org/2025/07/snap-f…
Republicans rolled back ACA support while also cutting Medicaid—and 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…
Wearing this shirt with pride because our federal workers deserve respect & a real voice on the job. I’m signing on to @RepGolden’s effort to force a vote on legislation to protect collective bargaining for federal employees. Republicans must choose: stand with working people or…
Every day, firefighters risk their lives to keep us safe—including in the recent tragic fire in @JerseyCity. But their gear should protect them, too. That's why I’m proud to cosponsor bipartisan legislation that accelerates innovation of PFAS-free turnout gear and strengthens…
We went BTS two weeks ago to highlight Leader Jeffries' historic speech and @HouseDemocrats fight to try and stop the Republicans’ terrible, no-good sh*t bill. The Republican chaos has only continued since then, but we aren’t backing down. 💪 #TBT #ThrowbackThursday
Our local public radio stations—@WFMU, @WQXR, NJ Public Radio, and more—keep our communities informed, safe, and connected every day. Republican cuts to their funding would be devastating. I'll always fight for them and our community.
Weaponizing some of the most sensitive data that exists does not make our country safer. It’s simply another dangerous escalation of this Administration’s attacks on immigrant communities. This puts ALL of us at risk—whether you were born here or not. @HouseDemocrats will stand…
BREAKING: ICE officials will gain access to personally identifiable information for all Medicaid enrollees, according to an agreement obtained by the AP. apnews.com/article/immigr…
