Bob Menendez Jr.: “I'm here today to offer you Jersey City, my hometown, as proof of that.”

And so people are dying. They are dying on the battlefield. They are dying of hunger, and for some reason House Republicans cannot put a simple vote on the floor, and it is pretty outrageous.

This week, I, along with Representative Mikie Sherrill, led the New Jersey delegation in sending you a letter, here, highlighting our concerns with persistent delays in Amtrak's failure to adequately address these issues.

I am just asking to treat this like the crisis that it is, because we are hearing from our residents every single day who don't want to go to work, who don't want to travel, who are worried about what childcare looks like because they are…

Which means that every day that House Republicans wait, people die.
