Trump denied New York's disaster aid request because playing political games matter more to him than helping New Yorkers who were hit hard by this winter’s blizzards. I will not stop fighting for #NY05 until our community gets every dollar of relief it deserves. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Owning a home is one of the best ways to build generational wealth and programs like HP3 help New Yorkers stay in their homes and protect what they’ve built. The launch of this new initiative is a major victory! Thanks to Center for NYC Neighborhoods and Wells Fargo for making it happen.

⚠️There’s a flood advisory in #NY05 through late tonight. Avoid flooded streets, highways and underpasses. Turn around, don’t drown. Text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 for updates. Stay safe, Queens.  a858-nycnotify.nyc.gov

🚨Con Edison is asking #NY05 residents to conserve energy while crews repair equipment in your area. 🚫 Avoid washers, dryers, and microwaves ❄️ Limit AC 🚗 Hold off on charging electric vehicles Check your outage status: www.conEd.com/reportoutage

Happy Fourth of July #NY05! As we celebrate our country’s 250th anniversary with fireworks, family, and friends, remember to stay safe, hydrated and enjoy the holiday!

I’m aware of the power outage affecting homes in Richmond Hill, South Ozone Park, Howard Beach and South Jamaica due to extreme heat. My Office is in contact with Con Edison and monitoring the situation. I'm asking #NY05 residents to conserve power while crews work to resolve the issue.

While Americans worry about grocery bills and gas prices, Trump is counting $1.4 billion from his crypto grifts. It's also harder to hear the concerns of the American people when you're taking a joy ride on a $400 million Qatari jet. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/30/u...

Extreme heat is hitting #NY05 and the “feels like” temperature will be dangerously high. Please stay safe and look out for your neighbors, especially seniors and children. 🏢Find a cooling station near you: finder.nyc.gov/coolingcenters 🔔 Sign up for weather alerts: text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692

Donald Trump is not a king, and the Constitution does not bend to his will. His scheme to end birthright citizenship and redefine who gets to be an American just failed, and rightfully so. Born here means belonging here. apnews.com/article/supr...

Trump has attacked the Federal Reserve's independence from day one. Inflation, jobs, stable markets, and investor confidence rely on our regulators making policies free from political pressure from the President.

Today marks 11 years since the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage across the country. As a Member of the EqualityCaucus, I was proud to support the #RespectForMarriageAct to cement protections for same-sex couples under federal law.

Today, Democrats protested the SCOTUS decision ending TPS for Haitian and Syrian families. Both countries are still dangerous, and these families deserve safety and the chance to contribute to our economy. The fight is not over. America is strongest when we stand for humanity.

Congress passed a historic housing bill to make homes affordable, but Trump won’t make it law. His demand? The power to strip the American people of their right to vote in elections. Trump is choosing power and MAGA extremists over hardworking Americans. It’s pathetic.

Statement from Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov on the State Department’s decision to bypass Congressional review on an arms sale of more than $700 million worth of equipment to the Turkish military:

Ranking Members @meeks.house.gov and @sarajacobs.house.gov today released the following statement calling on the State Department to secure an agreement halting the Rapid Support Forces’ siege of Sudan’s El Obeid city:

Trump’s DOJ is targeting @replamonica.bsky.social for doing exactly what she was elected to do: conduct oversight and hold ICE accountable at Delaney Hall. Congress will not be intimidated. @housedemocrats.bsky.social stand with Rep. McIver & will keep fighting back against political retaliation.

Today marks four years since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. Republicans are still relentlessly attacking reproductive freedom. As a member of the @ReproCaucus, I'll always fight to protect reproductive rights. Your body. Your health. Your decision.

Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected in #NY05 today and may cause flooding in parts of the borough. Stay updated by signing up for alerts at nyc.gov/notifynyc or text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 for weather updates and safety tips. Stay safe, New York.

Being a father to three girls and a grandfather to five grandchildren has been one of the greatest joys of my life. I’m grateful every day for fatherhood and want to wish all the dads and father figures out there a #HappyFathersDay!

This #Juneteenth, we honor the resilience of Black Americans and the long road to freedom. The fight our ancestors started isn’t over and we won’t stop until true equality is won for everyone. #FreedomDay. www.youtube.com/shorts/N4Po4...

The championship is back in New York! 🏆🗽 Congratulations to the @Knicks for their historic win. It’s even more exciting that fans across the city can safely celebrate this win at the parade today. abc7ny.com/live-updates...

Americans are tired of thoughts and prayers without action. Communities deserve policies that save lives, and Democrats are fighting for commonsense gun safety laws. youtube.com/shorts/TqSFw...

Happy Islamic New Year to everyone in #NY05! May this new year bring you peace and blessings for you and your loved ones. #IslamicNewYear

Caught up with Rep. Shontel Brown to celebrate Black Music Month, talk favorite artists and reflect on what Black music means to our culture. We introduced legislation with Rep. Carson and Sen. Booker recognizing June as Black Music Month. youtube.com/shorts/fcklG...

Let's go @ny-knicks.bsky.social! Game 5 is here and I'm ready, jersey and all. It's time to bring it home!  #KnicksinFive

Today, I wore orange to honor victims and survivors of gun violence. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. Americans want real action that makes our communities safer. Democrats will never stop fighting for commonsense gun safety laws.

Get into it! #GoKnicks

63 years after the #EqualPayAct was enacted, the wage gap persists, especially for women of color. Equal work deserves equal pay. We must keep fighting until that promise becomes reality.

Gas prices are over $4 per gallon across the country, millions of Americans are losing access to health care, and inflation is rising. What are Republicans doing about it? Sending an additional $70 billion to ICE & CBP despite DHS sitting on $100 billion in unspent cash from last year.

It was a pleasure to meet with the NYS Health Facilities Association/NYS Center for Assisted Living to discuss health care issues from the skilled nursing workforce shortage to the Medicare Advantage program. Providing affordable health care for #NY05 remains one of my top priorities in Congress.

The road to a title continues tonight. #NY05 is cheering on the NY Knicks in Game 2! 🏀🗽

Trump said he doesn't think about Americans’ financial situation. And why would he? POTUS and his family get richer each day through their crypto schemes. Demanding oversight and transparency isn't political pressure, Mr. Comptroller. It's the will of the American people. youtu.be/IeUo3-BSOHc

Black voters helped build this democracy. Now the Supreme Court is allowing Alabama to erase a majority-Black district and strip an entire community of its political voice. This is suppression and Democrats will fight it. www.nbcnews.com/politics/sup...

Flooding is becoming more frequent, severe, and financially devastating in Southeast Queens and coastal communities nationwide. That’s why I teamed up with @repandrewgarbarino on a bill to help communities recover faster, strengthen local resilience, and reduce insurance costs.

Trump is trying to use taxpayer dollars to reward Jan. 6 cop beaters and criminals. It’s failing in the court and Democrats will keep fighting to stop the abuse of power, defend the Constitution, and protect Americans’ hard-earned money. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Noem let this happen in Minneapolis. Now Mullin’s letting it happen in Newark. Protesters are still being met with violence, and reports from Delaney Hall paint a disturbing picture of inhumane treatment toward immigrants in detention.

Attacks on voting rights are attacks on our democracy. We cannot stay quiet while Republicans rig the system with unfair maps designed to silence Black communities. Democrats are fighting to protect equal access to the ballot box because YOUR vote matters. youtube.com/shorts/jLr7a...

Eid Mubarak to all those celebrating in #NY05 and around the globe. May this blessed Eid al-Adha bring peace and blessings to you and your loved ones. #EidAlAdhaMubarak

Republicans are draining working families while Trump looks out for billionaires and himself. Democrats are fighting to put money back in your pocket because WE think about your financial situation. youtube.com/shorts/Dks0p...

On #MemorialDay, we honor the servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. We can never repay the debt we owe them, but we can honor their legacy through action. That's why I fight for policies in Congress that support veterans and their families. #NY05

Americans are stretching every dollar for groceries, gas and healthcare because of Republicans' reckless policies. Meanwhile, Trump wants a $1 billion ballroom and taxpayer-funded giveaways for Jan. 6 insurrectionists.  Working people are trying to pay their bills, not luxury projects.

On Día de la Afrocolombianidad, we honor the history, culture, resilience, and contributions of communities of African descent in Colombia. Today serves as a reminder that our democracies are strongest when every community has a voice, vote, and seat at the table.

Hardworking families are struggling to buy or rent a home because housing costs keep rising and there are not enough homes available. Here’s how the 21 Century ROAD to Housing Act can help! ⤵️

You can’t benefit from the talent of Black athletes and stay silent as Black political representation is under attack. Today, the @cbc.house.gov joined NAACP President Derrick Johnson to call out the hypocrisy of SEC colleges and stand against voter suppression in Black communities.

Learn more about how @NydiaVelazquez and I are working to lower costs for homeowners and renters. ⬇️

The Supreme Court’s attack on the Voting Rights Act threatens not only Black voters, but our entire democracy. This latest political ploy by Republicans is an effort to rig our elections to keep their majority. Democrats are fighting so extremists can't silence our communities.

Trump couldn’t care less if American families can afford gas to get to work or food to put on the table. He said it himself. Democrats care about lowering costs for you and your family and will continue pushing back against Republicans’ expensive agenda. youtube.com/shorts/yIAJY...

Happy #mothersday to all the moms and mother figures in #NY05. You shape our families and communities every day with your love and support. Take today to enjoy your loved ones or simply relax because you deserve it!

The Virginia Supreme Court just overturned the will of the people. It’s a desperate voter suppression tactic by MAGA Republicans in their attempt to cling to power. This fight isn't over. Democrats will continue to push back because THE PEOPLE should have the final say. abcnews.com/Politics/vir...

Gas prices have surged nearly 50% since the start of Trump's illegal War in Iran. Americans shouldn't be stuck paying nearly $5 a gallon for a war they had no say in. People across the country are fed up with footing the bill for the GOP's reckless agenda. www.reuters.com/business/ene...
