🚨Casework Highlight🚨 A @JerseyCity constituent reached out for help obtaining a green card for her mother who fled Ukraine in 2022. Our office worked with USCIS to make sure she received her green card and can continue to stay here. If you need help with a federal agency, contact us at (201) 309-0301.

We have been pressing the Administration to ensure families don’t pay higher electric bills to power AI data centers. FERC calling on PJM to postpone shifting data center costs onto households is an important step but we need to do more. That’s why I am working with @RepCasar to pass our bill that requires data centers to pay their own way by supplying their own clean energy. https://t.co/gLJRbZ6vbS

Excited for @mynjpbs! 👏 Thank you to their team for always keeping our communities connected and delivering essential news to New Jerseyans. Local journalism is needed now more than ever.

📍Annual Hispanic State Parade A little rain couldn’t stop us from celebrating our vibrant Hispanic community and rich mosaic of cultures that make Hudson County and New Jersey so special. Honored to fight for mi gente every day - thank you to everyone who made this year’s parade so special! 🙏

New Jersey’s firefighters are the best of our state, and for over a decade, Eddie Donnelly has been FMBA’s anchor. I’ve been proud to work alongside Eddie to deliver for our first responders. Our communities are safer and stronger because of your leadership, Eddie - wishing you the very best in your retirement!

Once you actually hear what Emanuel went through, it’s hard to see Delaney Hall as anything other than a place designed to break people. Read more from Daysi Calavia-Robertson: https://t.co/iGwO2KJAUO

Proud to have introduced the Data Center Transparency Act in the House to monitor how data centers affect our electric bills, water supply, and air quality. Huge thanks to our Senate partners for introducing the bill in the Senate - let’s get this done!

Our public lands and forests are treasured gems and not for sale. That's why I joined @RepSalinas and @RepYassAnsari in an effort to oppose the Trump Admin's rule that would gut protections for millions of acres of our undeveloped national forest lands.

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Rob Menendez (NJ-08) and Congressman Jefferson Shreve (IN-06) introduced the bipartisan Stop SIM Box Scams Act, which would ban the hardware that enables scammers to disguise robocalls as local telephone numbers. In 2025, Americans received approximately 29.6 billion scam robocalls and texts and lost nearly $2 billion to these scams. By masking international or out-of-state calls with local area codes, scammers exploit trust and dramatically increase answer rates among unsuspecting victims. “Scammers shouldn’t be able to use our area codes to rip off our communities,” said Congressman Menendez. “Our legislation bans the deceptive devices that allow scammers to masquerade as our neighbors, cutting off a key tool for fraudsters and protecting working families.” “That ‘local’ Indiana number on your phone may be a scammer calling from halfway around the world,” said Congressman Shreve. “I wrote this bill to stop scammers from using these machines to pose as our neighbors.” The legislation targets “SIM boxes,” which are specialized devices that house hundreds of SIM cards at once, cycling through local phone numbers to help scam syndicates flood individuals with robocalls and text messages while evading law enforcement detection. The Stop SIM Box Scams Act would prohibit manufacturing, importing, selling, leasing, advertising, owning, or operating SIM boxes. It would also direct the Federal Communications Commission to coordinate with federal law enforcement to block imports and prosecute people who use them. Read the full bill text here.

Deporting people to countries where they have zero ties is indefensible. We will not back down. We will keep fighting to protect our communities. https://t.co/pcqj1jZkMo

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Rob Menendez (NJ-08) and Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) introduced the bipartisan Submarine Cable Security Policy Act of 2026, which would streamline the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) permitting process for undersea cables while carefully vetting projects for national security concerns. “Submarine cables are critical to our economy and national security, carrying the internet and communications traffic that Americans rely on every day,” said Congressman Menendez. “I am proud to co-lead this bipartisan legislation with Rep. Pfluger to establish a clear and consistent permitting process, provide greater certainty for responsible projects, and ensure that cables with potential national security risks receive the scrutiny they deserve.” “Our foreign adversaries are investing in the undersea cables that carry over 95% of our international data, and they're doing it to undermine our national and economic security. The United States Submarine Cable Security Policy Act of 2026 sets clear, consistent security standards so we can keep bad actors out of our critical infrastructure,” said Congressman Pfluger. The legislation would standardize the U.S. licensing process for undersea cables, establish national security requirements, set FCC review timelines, allow certain applicants to use self-certification and expedited review, and provide additional scrutiny for projects that raise foreign adversary or other national security concerns.

Honored to be endorsed by @GSEquality! I will always fight in Congress to uplift our LGBTQ+ community, ensuring everyone can proudly and freely be their authentic self. Our work continues. https://t.co/P8PseGTE3U

During one of my visits to Delaney, I heard a story that will stay with me forever. A pregnant woman miscarried, and instead of receiving medical care, staff at Delaney told her it was all in her head—calling it a 'psychological pregnancy.' This is a grotesque violation of human rights. Every single part of Delaney is. https://t.co/7VPO8aJo3t

Texas can make history by electing @GinaHinojosaTX as its first Latina governor. As families pay the price for Greg Abbott's failed policies, the DGA needs to invest more resources. Abbott and Trump are cut from the same cloth - and Latino voters will be the ones to decisively defeat them. https://t.co/c7NzI45kJ0

Denying individuals access to legal counsel & concealing their locations from families is a dangerous turn for the Trump Admin. I joined my colleagues in demanding answers. If you need help with an immigration matter or any federal issue in the meantime, visit https://t.co/sKMADb5Iiu.

How do you expect him to spell "United" when all he knows how to do is divide us?

Gateway is the nation's most critical infrastructure project, and we will never stop fighting to complete it. What a special day celebrating this milestone in our district! https://t.co/NacIjTa1Wt

Too many families in NJ and across the country are dealing with rising costs and can't catch a break. Republicans' decision? send Congress home. @HouseDemocrats are fighting to lower costs. https://t.co/9J9UwP2KMZ

For 50 years, the Hyde Amendment has blocked insurance coverage for abortions. As a member of the @ReproCaucus, I am proud to cosponsor the EACH Act, which finally puts an end to the Hyde Amendment and keeps healthcare decisions between a woman and her healthcare provider.

Families have lost a record $15.9 billion due to scams and bad actors online. That's why I introduced legislation to better protect our communities from online scams. By improving coordination between the federal government, consumer advocates, and local law enforcement, we can stop scams earlier and improve the safety of our digital economy. https://t.co/4jclgxT7rw
