📍Institute of Music in Elizabeth 🎶 Stopped by the IMC to see how they are helping our youth achieve their full potential through music and mentorship. Proud to support their mission and can't wait to see their new space take shape. Thanks for the tunes!

Excited to see Bayonne advancing plans for the Route 440 pedestrian bridge! I was proud to secure $2 million in federal funding to make this project a reality.

Pastor Yeison was released from Delaney Hall and he is finally home with his family and his congregation in Elizabeth. Thank you to everyone who spoke out for Pastor Yeison. We won’t stop until this national nightmare ends.

📍Touring Eastern Millwork in Jersey City 🪚 It was great to visit Eastern Millwork and see their operation firsthand.

📍Coffee with Congress with the Red Cross ❤️ Spoke with the Red Cross on how we can continue to be a partner in Congress to support their mission and keep our communities safe. So grateful for all of our Red Cross volunteers who’ve made an incredible difference throughout our state.

Such a privilege to deliver over $1.4 million in federal funding to North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue 🚒 ❤️

One year ago, our community was shaken by a tragic helicopter crash on the Hudson that claimed six lives. Since then, we've taken an all-hands approach with our local and state partners to find solutions that put the safety of our communities first.

We should be enhancing people's ability to participate in our elections, not making it harder. That's why I joined @repnellie.bsky.social and my NJ colleagues to demand that USPS reject the Admin's attempt to control mail-in voting. We will always stand for free and fair elections.

AEDs can dramatically improve outcomes during a cardiac emergency. Such an honor to stand with the Katz family ahead of Sarah's birthday to celebrate the opening of another SaveStation in Jersey City.

📍Conversation with BAYADA during National Public Health Week 🩺Privilege to speak with home health aides and clients in Union City yesterday. Their stories fuel our fight in Washington.

Last year’s tragic helicopter crash on the Hudson was a clarion call that more must be done to address serious safety issues. Proud to lead legislation with Rep. Nadler to protect our communities by ensuring that helicopter flights are held to the highest safety standards possible. 🚁🔨

By purging 100+ judges and forcing asylum rates to a record low, the Trump Administration is attacking the core of our legal immigration system. The facts in this article mirror what we hear from so many individuals being held at Delaney Hall and EDC.

House Republicans had another opportunity today to pass a War Powers Resolution. They once again failed to do the right thing. They own this war and all the fallout from it.

Immigrants and mixed-status families are an integral part of the fabric of our communities. Our communities are safer when all of our families can go to school, work, and parks without fear of being torn away from their loved ones. Your fight is our fight.

📍Visiting the Hoboken Food Pantry at the Hoboken Community Center 🍎 Grateful for all the vital work they do and for our partners and volunteers working tirelessly to keep families fed amid Trump's cuts to SNAP. Every moment spent in our community fuels my fight for you in Washington.

📍Delivering federal funding to North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue 🙌 Proud to join Chief Donnarumma to announce over $1.4 million in federal funding to modernize our firehouses. I'll always fight in Congress to bring home funding to keep our communities safe.

Putting this on official letterhead doesn’t make it any less unhinged.

Want to “…identify the most appropriate path forward…”? Shut it down, don’t f’ing open it. Pretty simple, Tom.

The 25th Amendment needs to be invoked.

Let’s get Pastor Yeison home. Let’s get paramilitaries out of our communities. Let us begin to heal from this national nightmare.

Stephen Miller remains the architect of Trump's cruel and racist anti-immigrant agenda. So while they can try to hide him, no one in this Administration will be able to escape accountability for the irreparable harm they have caused.

“My boy is very different. He sees police officers, and he says, ‘It’s ICE, Mommy.’" The Trump Admin isn’t making us safer, they are traumatizing our children and tearing our communities apart. We won’t stop until this national nightmare ends.

My colleague and friend Rep. McIver came to Congress to fight for her constituents, and she has never wavered in doing so. I am proud to stand with her as she fights these politicized charges and am all in until justice is realized.

Good luck to Jersey City’s own Coach Dan Hurley tonight in the finals! You make us all proud!

📍Roundtable with Northeast New Jersey Legal Services 🤝 Thankful for all the advocates who gathered today to discuss ways we can deepen our working relationships and better coordinate efforts.

A U.S. Army staff sergeant and his wife, Annie Ramos, were about to start their life together. Instead, ICE arrested her. No one is safe in Trump’s America. Full stop.

Great to meet with the Bergen Arches team! We’ve fought hard alongside our neighbors to turn these historic structures into green spaces. I look forward to continuing to fight for projects that will connect our community with larger greenway networks.

The "SAVE America Act" is a full-on assault on our elections. Republicans know that if they have to run on their failed policies in free and fair elections, they'd get absolutely smoked.

My heart is with the families in our community spending this day in the shadow of an immigration system that is beyond repair—especially Pastor Yeison, who should be with his congregation in Elizabeth, not being held in Delaney Hall.

Treating the January 6th insurrectionists as heroes tells you everything that's wrong with the Republican Party.

Huge congrats! Suraj Kaufman is a Jersey City icon, and this honor from NJCU is so well deserved. His talent and generosity have impacted so many lives—I’m always inspired by the heart he pours into our community every single day. 👏💙

Trump's budget would cut funding that our communities use for housing, parks, small businesses, and other programs that benefit working families. We should be doing more to help our communities thrive not less.

Electric bills are already rising thanks to Trump, and now he wants to cut the energy assistance program that so many New Jersey families rely on just to keep the heat and AC on. We should be focused on lowering costs, not stripping away a lifeline for our seniors and working families.

I’m joining my Hispanic Caucus colleagues in a lawsuit to stop the IRS from improperly sharing taxpayer data with ICE. The handing over of your private tax files to DHS is a violation of your privacy. And for the record: the Trump Admin is now admitting that immigrants DO pay taxes.

I have no confidence in Todd Blanche. Trump is replacing terrible people (Pam Bondi) with terrible people.

📍Delivering federal funding to replace lead pipes in Elizabeth 🙌 Proud to join Mayor Bollwage in announcing $1 million in federal funding to help replace lead pipes to ensure our communities have access to safe drinking water. We’ll keep fighting to bring resources home for those we represent.

Here's my message to Republicans during Holy Week: don’t wrap yourself in your faith while you watch the Trump Administration tear our communities and families apart.

📍Autism Awareness Day in Elizabeth 🧩 On Autism Awareness Day, it's a privilege to be with friends and advocates who are working to promote acceptance and deliver resources to those who need them in our communities and beyond. I'll always support their role in our communities every day.

A year ago, Trump promised “liberation”. All you need to ask yourself is: Is your life more affordable now than it was a year ago? Trump and Republicans have failed the American people. We can do better. We must do better.

Republicans will fill the pews to celebrate Easter on Sunday, while Pastor Yeison is held at Delaney Hall. The fight for the soul of our nation continues.

ATTN High Schoolers: The deadline to submit your artwork is less than two weeks away! 🎨 For more info, visit: menendez.house.gov/art

Inspired daily by @replamonica.bsky.social’s tenacity as she continues to do the people’s work every day as she fights these politicized charges against her.

We’d need a lot of money to take care of Trump at the senior daycare Melania and Vance are about to check him into.

On repeat today. If you're born in the USA, you're a U.S. citizen. #ProtectBirthright #SCOTUS

Wishing a blessed Passover to all those celebrating. As families gather around the table tonight with loved ones, may this Passover bring hope and light as we look towards a better world. Wishing peace for all. Chag Sameach!

This ruling reaffirms that the trusted voices we count on should stay where they belong. NPR and PBS are lifelines for our families, and we should be investing more in them, not less.

📍Celebrating 90 years of Goya with a day of giving in Jersey City 🙏 Grateful to join neighbors for #GoyaGiveDay to help get food to families across our communities.

Trump is only doing this because he knows if Republicans had to compete in a free and fair election tomorrow, they would lose. Elections are run by states, not by Trump. This is unconstitutional and it will be fought.

Thankful for the opportunity to join Mayor Solomon and council members at Jersey City’s Trans Day of Visibility. My message was simple: real courage isn’t about putting people down—it’s about lifting each other up. I will always fight for everyone’s right to live with dignity. 🏳️‍⚧️

Just left Delaney Hall. Each visit is more heartbreaking than the last.
