After years of unnecessary delay by the Speaker, the plaque honoring the heroism of Capitol Police during the Jan. 6 insurrection was installed in the dead of night & without a formal ceremony. The families, friends, & colleagues of the fallen officers deserve more. www.cnn.com/2026/03/07/p...
Kristi Noem is OUT. Now letβs see if Republicans are finally ready to get serious about bipartisan immigration reform. www.cnn.com/2026/03/05/p...
Democrats are on the House floor NOW fighting for a bipartisan War Powers Resolution because Trump is not a king. He cannot drag the American people to war without Congressional authorization. www.youtube.com/USHouseClerk...
Today, I joined with #USPS leaders and community members to unveil a new commemorative stamp honoring βthe Greatestβ, Muhammad Ali. Not only was he a decorated heavyweight champion, an Olympic gold medalist, and a fearless champion for justice and equalityβhe was also my friend.
Trump's war of choice is already costing us. Families are paying more at the pump and small businesses are feeling the squeeze because this Administration wants everyday Americans to foot the bill. apnews.com/article/iran...
This #WomensHistoryMonth, we honor the generations of women who have challenged injustice, broken barriers, shaped our communities, and inspire us to keep moving forward. Letβs continue to celebrate their contributions today and every day.
Kicking millions of people off food stamps and making the largest cut to SNAP in history does not lift up Americans or make groceries affordable. It makes it more difficult, and nearly impossible, for families to put food on the table.
Trump said our nation is βricher and stronger than ever.β Maybe he should ask my constituents who are spending an additional:
Β
$2,024 on basic living expenses
$433 on housing costs
$300 on groceries
$1,700 to pay for Trumpβs tariff war
The State of the Union is chaos. While Republicans enable ICE brutality, gut health care, and drive up costs from groceries to rent, Democrats are fighting to restore ACA tax credits, reverse Trump's tariffs, and push real ICE reform - because you deserve better than this.
π¨New Yorkers, a Blizzard Warning is in effect from Sunday morning through Monday. Expect heavy snow, strong winds and near whiteout conditions. Stay safe by planning now for changes to travel, work, child care and caregiving. You can find preparedness tips at www.nyc.gov/site/em/read.... #NY05
The Treasury Secretary works for the American people, not the Trump family. Congress is a coequal branch of government and has the power and duty to demand accountability from the President. youtu.be/88gNmBORq4U
Todayβs Supreme Court ruling confirmed what Iβve said from the start: Trump does not have the power to impose massive import taxes without Congressβ approval.
Enough with the childish antics. Itβs time to focus on lowering costs for the American people.

I sent a letter with 40 other concerned Members of Congress to the Treasury Secretary because we need to know who this Administration is really working for - the American people or their mob boss?

American families are struggling to afford everyday bills. Meanwhile, the Trump familyβs crypto company made $500 million from an investment firm linked to the UAE government, just before the administration approved sending them advanced AI chips.
In celebration of #BlackHistoryMonth, I was honored to receive the William C. Thompson, Sr. Award from the NY State Supreme Court Appellate Division, 2nd Dept. Iβm grateful to be recognized w/ an award named after a trailblazer I admired & will continue the fight in his spirit.
As we continue to celebrate the Lunar New Year, let us welcome energy, freedom, and forward momentum during the #YearOfTheHorse. May this year bring you joy and prosperity!
Republicans shut down DHS by refusing a bipartisan deal to control ICE. They would rather halt FEMA's disaster response, increase travel delays at airports, and disrupt Coast Guard missions instead of protecting Americans from ICE's violence. youtu.be/7hxC-gmRWz0
Ramadan Mubarak to all who celebrate within #NY05 and across the world. May this holy month of reflection and service bring peace and strength to our communities.
I'm saddened by the loss of my dear friend and mentor, Rev. Jesse Jackson. His leadership inspired generations and guided my political career. Heβll be remembered for his dedication to human rights, economic justice and for challenging us all to rise to the occasion and to always βKeep Hope Alive.β
Our demands are simple: DHS funding shouldn't be used by ICE to terrorize or kill Americans. This isnβt an authoritarian regime. This is America. Unmask them.

Trump's bigotry isnβt new. They can take it down, but we all saw it. www.cnn.com/2026/02/06/p...
Congress should be asking the question: who is Trump really working for?
My Republican colleagues have forgotten we are a coequal branch and can demand accountability from the President.

#OTD 28 years ago, I swore an oath to uphold the constitution and represent the people of #NY05 in Congress. Today, the promise I made to my country and constituents is stronger than ever as we continue to fight for justice, demand accountability, and defend democracy.

Bessent canβt answer questions, so Iβll show him how it's done.
Q: Why can't the person handling our govt's finances make a commitment to prevent conflicts of interest, foreign influence, & potential corruption from POTUSβ own family biz ventures?
A: Because he's Trump's flunky.

Today my office honored Aaron Stuckey, for his 35 years of service to the United States Postal Service. Aaron has done a wonderful job making sure the office receives your letters. I wish him all the best on this next chapter and thank him for his service.
I stand united with Rep. Grace Meng and faith leaders from our communities to denounce the deadly consequences of ICEβs lawlessness. We wonβt turn a blind eye. #ImpeachNoem
Senate Republicans must work with Democrats to rewrite the DHS funding bill and enact common-sense reforms to stop the agencyβs lawless conduct.
Democrats are fighting to protect Americans lives.
