Later that same day, he addressed environmental policy, posting: “We must use every tool available to tackle the climate crisis and protect our environment. That’s why I joined 100+ of my colleagues in urging the @EPA to abandon their plans to repeal vehicle emission rules — because reducing emissions paves the way for a more sustainable” (September 22, 2025).
In another post published on September 22, Menendez discussed economic development and technology: “We must all fight to build a cleaner economy, harness new technology like AI, and ensure no community is left behind. Honored to speak with @CHCI last week on how we’ll make it happen – together.”
