Trump's budget sets aside $350 billion for a war of choice in Iran, but does nothing to lower health care costs for the American people? That's enough to expand ACA tax credits for 20+ million Americans.   America deserves better.

Congress—regardless of party—has a duty to hold the president accountable. 

Yet, Republicans remain silent on war, on dead American citizens, on rising costs, and on historic cuts to health care and SNAP. Is this what “Make America Great Again” meant?

Happy Easter to everyone in #NY05. I am wishing you and your family a joyous and blessed day. May this season of renewal bring peace to your homes and to communities across the district.

Trump doesn’t think Americans need child care, healthcare, or housing, and would rather spend billions from taxpayers’ pockets on his war of choice with Iran.
 This budget puts America LAST. 

You deserve better!

I wish a peaceful Good Friday to all who observe this holy day. I hope today is filled with gratitude, community, and reflection with the people you hold close. #NY05

Pam Bondi’s legacy is one of cover ups, corruption, and chaos. Real changes are needed at the DOJ to rebuild trust and accountability. Democrats will continue fighting back in the courts, Congress, and our communities to protect the rights of Americans www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

I visited Veterans' food pantries in #NY05 and met volunteers helping families fight rising food costs. Meanwhile, Republicans in Congress are pushing cuts to food assistance programs like SNAP. We should be helping families put food on the table not making it harder. #VFWPost5298 #AmericanLegion483

One year after Trump’s so-called ‘Liberation Day,’ and the only thing people have been liberated from is their hard-earned money. America is more expensive than ever and Republicans do not care. Democrats are fighting to lower costs because we know You Deserve Better.

Our Haitian neighbors are business owners and faith leaders who are essential to our communities. I am proud to support @ayannapressley.bsky.social‘s discharge petition, which will bring a vote to the House floor to extend TPS for Haitians.

🚨House Republicans caved. Democrats never wavered. America wins. www.ms.now/news/mike-jo...

I’m proud to have secured over $1 million in federal funding to improve STEM education for K-12 students across New York. Funding our schools and supporting our teachers allows students to gain the tools and opportunities they need to succeed. qns.com/2026/04/1-mi...

Have you been wondering why gas prices are higher? It's because Trump's war of choice with Iran is costing Americans more at the pump each day with no end in sight. Life is only getting more expensive under Republican leadership. youtu.be/GgisIAdCbnc

We have a bipartisan bill to end the longest shutdown in U.S. history, but House Republicans rejected it and then left town for a 2-week vacation. You deserve better. youtu.be/KODkXMtILuo

Last night, House Republicans voted to prolong this shutdown by advancing a CR that has no path in the Senate. It’s time for House Republicans to stop holding TSA employees and air travelers hostage to their extreme immigration plan. We need to pass the bipartisan bill now. youtu.be/yqyum0bAC_w

I'm excited to see what else Coach Pitino has up his sleeve tonight! Wishing the best of luck to the St. John's men’s basketball team and hoping for another historic win. #NY05

New Yorkers are feeling the impact of the DHS Shutdown at JFK. Lines are hours long. Passengers are missing flights. TSA agents are working without pay. Instead of funding TSA, Republicans have sent untrained ICE agents into our airports to create more chaos.

The gender pay gap is growing, not shrinking. Women earn only 81¢ for every dollar paid to men. Equal pay for equal work should be the standard, not the exception.

I had the solemn honor of recognizing the life and legacy of Major Sorffly Davius. A Queens native and American patriot, he served our nation with courage and dedication. I extend my heartfelt condolences to his family. Our country is forever grateful for his service.  youtu.be/OZBo_ZO_gwY

Republicans are sending ICE agents into airports instead of negotiating to pay TSA workers who keep travelers safe. These agents are tied to chaos on America’s streets including the killing of U.S. citizens. This isn’t solving the problem. It’s escalating it. www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/i...

16 years ago today, the ACA made healthcare more affordable for millions of Americans. Now, with Republicans refusing to extend ACA tax credits nearly 29,000 people in #NY05 have seen their healthcare costs rise and around 51,000 people will lose coverage. We’re moving backwards.

Good luck to the St. John's University Men's Basketball team in today's game! I'm wishing the players and coaches a great game and a big win! 🏆 #NY05

TSA employees are working without pay to keep Americans safe in the skies during this Republican-led DHS shutdown. Democrats are fighting to negotiate commonsense reforms, but Republicans refuse to show up and restore DHS funding.

Republicans promised Americans that the cost of basic necessities would be at an all-time low. They LIED. Families are paying more. In #NY05, the average monthly grocery bill has reached $1,116. Sadly, hardworking families are feeling the strain of this affordability crisis.

Gas prices have climbed to $3.79 per gallon on average. Health care and grocery costs are already expensive, and Americans are struggling to afford the basics. Taxpayer dollars should support working families and lowering costs, not ICE violence and a baseless war. www.forbes.com/advisor/pers...

Republicans would rather keep DHS shut down than negotiate a bipartisan deal to rein in out of control ICE agents. They know ICE needs oversight but they still won’t support Democrats’ common sense reforms. Taxpayers deserve accountability. Americans deserve better. youtu.be/wTvLF2zuceg

I’m wishing a happy Sikh New Year to all who celebrate. May the year ahead bring peace and prosperity to Sikh communities worldwide. #NY05

It's been ONE MONTH since the Republicans shutdown DHS. TSA agents have missed a full paycheck, there are travel delays nationwide, and masked ICE agents are still out of control. Democrats remain ready to negotiate a bipartisan deal. When will Republicans get serious?

I’m heartbroken that we've lost six more service members in this war. My heart goes out to these brave Americans and their families, and I continue to pray for the safety of all our troops in the region. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I’m disturbed by the violent attack at Temple Israel in Michigan. Antisemitism is intolerable and has no place in our communities. My heart goes out to our Jewish neighbors across the country during this difficult time. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Major Sorffly Davius, a proud Queens native and decorated American patriot. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. We are grateful for his courage and lifelong service. His legacy won't be forgotten. haitiantimes.com/2026/03/11/s...

Democracy works best when every citizen participates. While Republicans are trying to make it harder for everyday Americans to vote, Democrats are fighting back to ensure all voices are heard. youtu.be/86H6FtqzNW0

The violent attack that happened outside of Gracie Mansion is deeply troubling. Political violence is never acceptable, and it has no place in our democracy. youtu.be/-trfEATuQQA

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! As we continue fighting for equality and justice for women around the world, I'm reminded how proud I am of the women in my family. Their strength, resilience, and compassion inspire me every day.

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 let’s 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 “the Greatest”, Muhammad Ali. Not only was he a decorated heavyweight champion, an Olympic gold medalist, and a fearless champion for justice and equality—he 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. Let’s 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 “richer and stronger than ever.” Maybe he should ask my constituents who are spending an additional:   $2,024 on basic living expenses $433 on housing costs $300 on groceries $1,700 to pay for Trump’s 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.

🚨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

Today’s Supreme Court ruling confirmed what I’ve said from the start: Trump does not have the power to impose massive import taxes without Congress’ approval. Enough with the childish antics. It’s time to focus on lowering costs for the American people. youtu.be/UGG2qP9tgFQ

American families are struggling to afford everyday bills. Meanwhile, the Trump family’s 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. I’m 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.
