As we honor the principles of Kwanzaa, let us reflect on the strength of family, community, and shared values that guide us forward. Happy Kwanzaa to those who celebrate in #NY05

Merry Christmas #NY05! May the holiday season bring you and your family joy and prosperity🗽

Trump’s primetime speech was full of lies. Working Americans feel the affordability crisis every day in their wallets. The American people are tired of being fed empty promises, they want real solutions. youtu.be/H97M2azPavE

Trump is more concerned with putting his name on buildings than helping working Americans. People want affordable health care and lower costs. Not an ego trip. www.cnbc.com/2025/12/18/t...

I’m demanding the House vote now to extend ACA tax credits before the December 31 deadline. Congress shouldn’t leave for the holidays without stopping health care costs from skyrocketing! youtu.be/Fy7xTXgSa8M

Speaker Johnson must bring this bill to the floor NOW, there’s no time to waste.

My colleagues and I had the pleasure of touring JFK Millenium Partners (JMP) Terminal 6. This meaningful site visit showed us what to expect in 2026 @JFKairport - a world-class travel experience for visitors and the community alike.

Trump dismissing the affordability crisis as a ‘hoax’ proves he has no clue what American families are dealing with. Democrats are the only ones serious about making life affordable for working people. youtu.be/GSBntX0QsUg

Happy Hanukkah to everyone celebrating in #NY05 and around the world. May these next eight days be filled with joy and blessings.

My heart is with the victims and families affected by the senseless shooting at Brown University. I am keeping the entire community in my prayers during this difficult time. www.npr.org/2025/12/13/n...

The House passed my bipartisan bill, the Invest Act. It boosts our markets, opens doors for small businesses and gives millions of Americans a stronger path to grow their retirement savings and secure their financial future. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lvgt...

Making Trump’s birthday a free-entry day at national parks while eliminating MLK Day and Juneteenth is foul. Our parks should reflect our shared history, NOT cater to Trump’s ego. Families are struggling to get by - that’s where his focus should be.

My office is aware of yesterday’s reports about ICE activity at Peninsula Preparatory Academy on the Rockaway Peninsula. We can confirm that no individuals were detained during the raid. I understand how unsettling this is for our community. (1/2)

A grand jury dismissed Trump’s sham indictment against AG Letitia James. Trump wants to weaponize the government against those who hold him accountable. AG James has always led with integrity, and this ruling reflects that. apnews.com/article/leti...

Every day, the Trump Administration seems to find a new way to make life harder and unaffordable for working Americans. In March, HUD eliminated Special Purpose Credit Programs that help underserved communities with down-payment and closing-cost assistance for homeownership. youtu.be/dXBiq51-9Ow

Today, we honor 119 years of manly deeds, scholarship, and love for all mankind. As a proud member, I celebrate the legacy of leadership and service that continues to uplift our communities and advance justice across the nation. Happy Founders’ Day to the Men of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. 🤙🏾

I introduced the bipartisan INVEST Act to boost financial security for millions of Americans by supporting small businesses and expanding investment freedom. meeks.house.gov/media/press-...

CDFIs and MDIs play a critical role in our banking ecosystem and our communities. Glad to hear Vice Chair Bowman agree! I’m committed to working with our federal regulators to help these institutions thrive. youtu.be/rD4_e7x71gA

Trump and Republicans still have no plan for the country’s health care crisis. Democrats are the only ones fighting to keep health care affordable for the American people. www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

The fight against HIV requires both treatment AND prevention. But Trump and Republicans' funding cuts have forced an end to many of the most effective prevention programs for high-risk populations. On this World AIDS Day, Congress must recommit to ending this epidemic.

This #SmallBusinessSaturday, we’re celebrating the shops, family-run restaurants, and corner stores that keep our neighborhoods lively. When you shop small, money stays in our community and supports local jobs. Invest in the people who make our city feel like home. #NY05

Today we give thanks to family, community, and the people who make our district stronger every day. Wishing you all a happy and peaceful Thanksgiving. #HappyThanksgiving #NY05

The Trump Administration, hellbent on ending TPS for Haitians, will be remembered for their cruelty and attacks against Haitians living lawfully in the United States. They must reverse course now. www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/leg...

The judge’s dismissal of Trump’s sham indictment against AG Letitia James was the right decision. Trump’s attempt to twist the justice system against someone who holds him accountable failed. AG James always led with integrity and upheld the law. www.cnn.com/2025/11/24/p...

Trump and Republicans have tried to hide the Epstein files. Today, we finally vote to release the files and deliver truth to the American people. www.npr.org/2025/11/18/n...

My office presented Edward Miller and Norma Batchleor of Rochdale Village with certificates recognizing their 100th Birthday. Special thank you to Gwendolyn Whitted for your commitment to make this possible.

House Democrats stood firm to protect America’s health care and lower health care costs for the American people. We are not giving up the fight to lower costs and make life more affordable for working families. www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPOO...

My statement on the Republican Spending Bill. meeks.house.gov/media/press-...

The Republican spending bill would deepen the health care crisis they started instead of solving it. Health care tax credits keep coverage affordable for millions of hardworking people. House Democrats are standing firm against this bill to protect them.

I had a wonderful time at the Veterans Appreciation Day Dinner at Rochdale Village Community Center, honoring the brave service members who protect our nation. I am grateful for their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to keeping our country safe. #NY05 🗽🫡

On Veterans Day, join me in recognizing the immense sacrifices veterans and their families made for our country. Today and every day, I will continue to honor and fight for our veterans to ensure they receive the care and benefits they deserve. #NY05 🗽

Trump and Republicans keep proving they don’t care about everyday Americans. They're raising health care costs and cutting food assistance for those who need it most. I won’t support any deal that ignores America’s affordability crisis. youtu.be/23kj00jmAP0

While Republicans in Washington refuse to do their jobs, @GovHochul is stepping up to protect hardworking families. Thank you for making sure New Yorkers receive their full SNAP benefits during this Republican shutdown.

This Republican Aviation Crisis is completely avoidable.

Nancy Pelosi’s leadership transformed Congress and made history. As the first woman to serve as Speaker, she led with courage, grace, vision and made America better for the children. Thank you, Madam Speaker, for your friendship and unwavering service to our nation.

Democrats know that Americans deserve better. We are demanding Trump pay November’s SNAP benefits in full now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7beu...

Today I joined my Democratic colleagues in condemning Trump for defying court orders and withholding food assistance from Americans. He could restore full SNAP benefits right now but chooses not to. Republicans must return to DC to negotiate a bipartisan deal that reopens the government.

Happy Halloween!🎃 Whether you’re trick-or-treating with the kids, dressing up for a party, or enjoying the spirit of the season, I hope you have a fun and safe night. Let’s keep our communities safe and remain alert while enjoying the night! #NY05

Superstorm Sandy hit New York 13 years ago today and changed our communities forever. I’ll never forget the resilience and strength New Yorkers displayed during such devastation. I'll always fight to make sure we have the federal resources to prepare for the next major storm.

My thoughts are with the people of Jamaica and the many New Yorkers with family and friends there as the island experiences its most powerful storm in history.

Ranking Member @meeks.house.gov, Ranking Member @joaquincastrotx.bsky.social and @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social are calling on the State Department to swiftly deploy necessary disaster relief assistance to Jamaica and the Caribbean ahead of Hurricane Melissa’s expected landfall:

Families across the country rely on SNAP to keep food on the table. Now, because of the Republican shutdown, hardworking Americans face uncertainty about whether they’ll be able to afford food next month.

Rep. Grace Meng and I met with hospital leaders at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center to discuss expanding access to affordable health care for Queens families. The Republican health care crisis puts care out of reach for too many Americans. Everyone deserves reliable care. It’s a basic right.

Trump and House Republicans remain completely disengaged, unwilling to negotiate a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government and drive down skyrocketing health care costs. youtu.be/5SdkxKExVYU

I visited Joseph P. Addabbo Family Health Center, a vital part of our community providing life-saving care to Queens families. But Addabbo & health centers across the country are under attack. Republican health care cuts threaten preventive services, eliminates jobs & put American lives at risk!

Wishing a very Happy Diwali to all who celebrate! May this Festival of Lights bring joy, peace, and prosperity to your homes and communities. #NY05
