- 2026-06-29HONORING CONGRESSMAN FRANK J. GUARINI“Mr. Speaker, we are here today to honor Congressman Frank J. Guarini, who passed away on Saturday, June 20, at the age of 101. As a distinguished World War II veteran, Congressman Guarini's service to our country began at a young age.”
- 2026-04-23VICTIMS OF IMMIGRATION ACTIONS“Mr. Speaker, I rise today with more heartbreaking stories about the victims of the Trump administration's violent and immoral immigration actions. In my visits to Delaney Hall, I have met with fathers, mothers, and even a pastor who pose no threat to the safety of our communities.”
- 2026-02-12SAFETY IN AMERICA“Mr. Speaker, I have said for months that no one is safe in Trump's America. From New Jersey to Minnesota, mothers, fathers, children--no one is safe. We have seen people like Greg Bovino and his masked paramilitaries come into our communities and cause an immense amount of harm.”
- 2026-02-04HORRIFIC ICE ABUSES“Mr. Speaker, in the span of 12 weeks, our country was shaken by the tragic killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who lost their lives because of the violent and reckless choices that the Trump administration has made.”

Where the Words Are
The Congressional Record marks Robert Menendez as speaking in 28 items of business across 28 sitting days of this Congress.
Many of those appearances are procedural: yielding time, a request to revise and extend, a call for the yeas and nays. The count comes from the Record's own speaker tagging, which is not complete, so a member may have spoken more often than it shows.
