Queens, New York
Families deserve to live without fear and uncertainty about what comes next. Today, I stood alongside local leaders and advocates with a clear message for the U.S. Senate: Pass the House's bill to extend TPS for Haitians!

The alarm bells have been going off. The fact that the court had to step in and force Trump to abide by the First Amendment should concern us all.

Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly High Level Week. They discussed Ukraine's urgent air defense needs amid continued Russian strikes, and efforts to advance a U.S.-Ukraine drone deal and other co-production opportunities that would deepen defense-industrial ties between the two countries. Ranking Member Meeks reiterated his commitment to pushing Congress to deliver additional military and economic support to Ukraine without delay.

A zip code should never determine a child’s ability to grow up healthy. Today, I celebrated the opening of Arverne’s new Pediatric Dental Services, made possible in part by the $1.5 million in federal funding I secured. This investment will expand access to essential pediatric services and give kids and families the opportunity to receive high-quality care closer to home.

We will never forget the innocent lives we lost, the sacrifices of our nation's bravest heroes, and the painful memory we carry 25 years later. America was wounded, but even in our darkest moment—we prevailed because of our ability to come together as Americans with resiliency, compassion, and civic duty. We continue to honor those we lost, and the families who help us carry on their memory, now and forever.

The Trump DHS' latest attempt to pit Americans against one another is not only bigoted but also entirely un-American. Sowing division doesn't make us stronger. It weakens our communities.   I stand in solidarity with the Sikh community and the thousands of Sikh neighbors, friends, and workers who call #NY05 home. You belong here.
*"AMERICA FOR AMERICANS...SELF-DEPORT MR SINGH"* USA Homeland Security, the department of American government in charge of domestic security, released a poster today depicting a brown bearded man with a headcovering, along with text saying "you don't know how to drive Mr Singh".

Every NYC Mayor has attended 9/11 remembrance ceremonies to pay their respects to those we lost on September 11, 2001. Mayor Mamdani has the same right and should pay his respects and stand alongside New Yorkers as the city remembers.    This is a moment when political differences are set aside to make room for unity. On the 25th anniversary of those devastating events, let us continue our solemn tradition of coming together to honor the survivors, the families of lost loved ones, and the courageous first responders who ran into unknown danger to save lives.
Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he will attend New York City's annual 9/11 remembrance ceremony Friday despite mounting criticism from some family members of victims and several prominent Republicans who have called on him to stay away. abcnews.link/EIoP9eA

Political disagreements are acceptable in any democracy. But this goes further than that, skipping right past human decency and landing on racist tropes. Shame on you.
When people show you who they are, believe them the first time.

Americans are getting sick from spikes in Ebola, measles, tuberculosis and Cyclospora. And what's the Trump administration doing? Slashing funding for global health programs that combat the spread of deadly infectious diseases and prevent them from reaching the United States.

There is absolutely no evidence that supports Trump's baseless claims of widespread voter fraud. It's becoming desperate at this point. Don’t believe the CON!

Thank you to Pres. Williams and members of The Heart of Rockaway for hosting an important community meeting. These conversations are one of the best parts about serving #NY05 because I get to hear directly from constituents about issues that matter the most. I appreciate all who participated in making our community stronger.
