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.

The Bayonne Drydock 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.

No one should face intimidation when casting their ballot. That’s why I joined Senator Kim 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@kim.senate.gov

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.

Trump promised to lower costs. Instead, he’s making life more expensive for working families. While House Republicans stay silent, House Democrats are ready to tackle the affordability crisis and put working families first.

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.

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 today's roundtable with my friend and Energy and Commerce’s Ranking Member, Congressman Frank Pallone.

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.

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 Rep. Pappas to push for expanded heating and cooling assistance through LIHEAP.

Rep. Chris Pappas@repchrispappas.bsky.social

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.bsky.social. We are grateful that the horrific plot targeting a Hindu temple was foiled, but we cannot ignore the hate threatening our neighbors.

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi@congressmanraja.bsky.social

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.

I stand with our North Bergen students and every neighbor enduring the fear and trauma caused by the Trump Administration’s actions. I hear your pain, and I want you to know: you are not alone in this fight. We will never stop fighting to protect our communities and the soul of our nation.

It was an honor to join BAPS and so many of our neighbors this past weekend! Our Indian-American community is a pillar of Hudson County, strengthening our communities through service, faith, and traditions that bring us together.

Rep. Rob Menendez

We hosted an election security roundtable with Hudson County officials and ACLU NJ to strengthen public trust and help ensure the upcoming election runs smoothly and securely. My key takeaway: Our elections are safe and secure—and every voter should feel confident making their voice heard.

ICE was stopping and questioning students on their way to school this morning in North Bergen. This is completely unacceptable and should be condemned by every elected official. ICE has no business targeting our schools or stopping and questioning our children. Full stop.

More than 55,000 people rely on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail every day to get to work, school, and wherever they need to go. They deserve reliable, accessible, and efficient public transit that meets the needs of our growing communities.

Earlier today, our Jersey City office temporarily closed after receiving a suspicious package while local authorities responded. The substance was determined to be non-hazardous, and our office has resumed normal operations.

Inflation is up. Tariffs are driving prices higher. Families in NJ & across the country can’t catch a break. Republicans’ response? Leave Washington for seven weeks, gaslight their constituents, & try to buy their way into another term. Families deserve relief. R’s are focused on keeping power.

Every week, our work on immigration brings moments of hope and moments of heartbreaking injustice. Each one reminds us what’s at stake: families, futures, and the right to be treated with dignity. We will never back down from protecting everyone who calls our communities home.

My heart breaks for Silver Rail Elementary and the entire Bend community as they face the unthinkable. No child should fear for their safety at school. No parent should have to wonder whether their child will come home.

Gun violence is an epidemic we have the power to confront—if elected officials have the courage to act. I have always fought, and will continue to fight, for commonsense gun safety reforms that protect our children and prevent tragedies like this from tearing our communities apart.

Our South Asian neighbors are an essential part of our communities and make our country stronger. Divisive rhetoric fuels hate and endangers lives. We are grateful that the horrific plot targeting a Hindu temple was foiled, but we must confront the hatred that puts our neighbors at risk.

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi@congressmanraja.bsky.social

My family and I were worshipping at our Hindu temple in Aurora on Sunday when a white supremacist attempted a mass shooting targeting Indian Americans. I'm grateful to those who prevented a tragedy, but we must all come together to confront the hatred that put so many innocent lives at risk.
