From the Stonewall Rebellion to the Compton Cafeteria Riots, trans people have always been at the forefront of the fight for equal rights in this country. On this Trans Day of Visibility, I will continue to uplift the trans community.

As ICE continues to terrorize our immigrant communities, it’s more important than ever that you know your rights and the resources available to you. I was proud to join Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes to provide this crucial information. New York won’t turn its back on our immigrant neighbors.

⁨In the triage center at my Manhattan office, I have a list of people we are working to free from unlawful ICE detention. Today, I wiped the 27th name off that list. Every release is a real victory. And we’re not stopping here.⁩

It was great to join Voice of Gowanus today for a walking tour in the neighborhood and to discuss much needed environmental cleanup plans.

Chag Purim Sameach! To everyone celebrating in NY-10 and across the country, I wish you a joyful Purim full of love and community!

My statement on Iran strikes:

I am proud to have earned a 100% on lcv.org’s 202#LCVScorecardrd. As Trump and his Congressional allies make ceaseless attacks on the environment, I will never stop fighting for the future of our planet.

Today marks four years since Putin launched his illegal and inhumane invasion of Ukraine.

Thanks to Better Brooklyn Association for having me at their Lunar New Year event. I’m always proud to serve the great Chinese American community in NY-10!

Reverend Jesse Jackson fought with unwavering courage for civil rights and racial justice. From marching at Selma to amplifying critical social issues during groundbreaking presidential campaigns, he was a monumental force for progress, and a leader who empowered all those around him.

Student loan debt has become an overwhelming burden on young Americans. That’s why I am proud to be joined by @sarajacobs.house.gov to introduce the GRADUATE Act, which would allow borrowers to deduct student loan payments from their taxable income.

The Pride Flag flies again at Stonewall. The Trump administration tried to erase our vibrant LGBTQ+ history by literally tearing down our flag. This isn’t their first attempt to spew hate and erase our history, and it won’t be the last.

We have recently seen how dangerous the extreme cold can be. Yet many NYCHA residents find themselves without adequate heating as the result of persistent problems. www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/09/n...

I was honored to join my friends at Grand St. Settlement for a ribbon cutting at the Sunset Park West Child and Family Center. This is Grand Street’s third head start center in Sunset Park and will welcome 100 children with high-quality child care.

Today I joined Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes for a small business canvass educating Sunset Park business owners about their rights in the event ICE enters their businesses. It’s important to be informed. We’re here to let constituents know our offices are open to them.

I was proud to join @galebrewernyc.bsky.social , @speakermenin.bsky.social and 9/11 Health Watch to demand complete transparency about the City’s knowledge of the toxic air after 9/11.

The Constitutional rights of Americans across the nation are at grave risk. The Fulton County raid is a call to action for us all. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/04/u...

The appalling attacks against three Muslim women in Bay Ridge are the latest example of the rising hate in our city. New York must be a place where people of all faiths feel safe and I am committed to making that vision a reality.

Grateful to partners like UA3 for working with @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social and Team Goldman to bring emergency resources to communities in Gowanus impacted by the recent power outage.

As Trump’s violent immigration dragnet sweeps throughout our country, @newyorkstateag.bsky.social’s Legal Observation Project is a smart and crucial tool to fight against his lawlessness.

Absolutely horrific. And this is just one of the over 5,300 mentions of Trump in the Epstein files released on Friday. This and the other serious & sickening allegations that have been exposed demand thorough investigation. How is this defensible, House GOP? Release the rest of the files now.

Trump began his attack on immigrant communities by trying to eliminate birthright citizenship, the law of the land for 125+ years. That attack has now expanded to terrorize cities around the country, and to deprive many of the due process and equal protection rights enshrined in the 14th Amendment.

Instead of answering for violent raids and civil rights abuses, DHS is circulating propaganda on Capitol Hill trying to justify ICE’s unconstitutional home intrusions with “administrative warrants” and “removal orders.”

On World Cancer Day, I think of my father who passed away from a brain tumor when he was just 42. I join with the millions of families who have lost loved ones to cancer in honoring their memory and recommitting to rooting out cancer.

Why is DNI Gabbard involved, let alone leading, an investigation into a state’s election center? If this investigation is truly about fraud in 2020, then the DNI should have nothing to do with a law enforcement investigation.

House Republicans just enabled ICE to continue their lawlessness for another 10 days. But at that point, they’ll need Dem votes to continue. We must not agree to another dollar for ICE until we add my amendment blocking the federal government from seizing voter rolls, ballots, or voting machines.

On this day in 1870, the 15th Amendment enshrined in our constitution that the right to vote may not be denied because of race. Whether it has been poll taxes, literacy tests, felon disenfranchisement laws, or – now – the SAVE Act, that promise has been under attack for more than 150 years.

All 5 ongoing offshore wind projects that were irrationally & arbitrarily stopped by Trump have been ordered to resume work. The decision was supposedly based on new “classified information” that the courts rejected. I have repeatedly asked to see the classified information & have been stonewalled.

DHS OIG was asked by Congress to review ICE’s excessive force months ago. Since then, these reckless, untrained agents have illegally intruded homes without warrants and used lethal violence against citizens. And we have received no information about the OIG’s review.

Trump said the quiet part out loud: Rs “should take over the voting.” We can't pass a funding bill that leaves the door open to this authoritarian brazenly promoting election manipulation. The House must support my amendment that will block the federal government from seizing voting machines.

After making an appointment in advance, despite my lawful right to conduct unannounced visits, ICE let me into the detention facility at 26 Fed today, where I saw only 3 detainees & none being processed. it is clear that ICE is rushing detained immigrants out of NY to avoid going to federal court.

Congress created FEMA to save lives during emergencies. Sec. Noem doesn’t have the authority to hollow it out, but that's exactly what she is doing. Noem is again ignoring the law & jeopardizing emergency response nationwide. This recklessness will cost Americans dearly when the next disaster hits.

Right now, qualified immunity makes it nearly impossible to hold ICE agents accountable for excessive force. @ericswalwell.bsky.social & I are changing that with our ICE OUT Act, which creates enforceable guardrails & consequences when these secret federal agents violate our constitutional rights.

Honored to join JCRCNY leadership, my colleagues, & community partners this morning for their annual legislative breakfast. At a time of rising antisemitism, we are responsible to confront hate & ensure it has no place in our communities. I’m grateful to JCRC for all its work building alliances.

Black History Month reminds us that progress in our country has always been made by people who refuse to accept injustice as the way things are. We honor the generations who fought for civil rights, voting rights, & equal protections by continuing to protect those same democratic foundations.

Reports of ICE activity in our communities can create fear & confusion which is exactly why Know Your Rights outreach is so important. I was proud to join AM Lee & CM Marte to make sure our neighbors and small business owners have a clear understanding of their rights and protections under the law.

While this investigation should have begun immediately after Pretti’s murder, I’m pleased that DAG Todd Blanche finally answered our demand that he open it. But DOJ cannot be trusted to conduct a full, fair and independent probe. This must be done in coordination with Minnesota law enforcement.

DOJ's release of the Epstein files still does not comply with the law. But even without the full release, we see why Trump has been so determined to cover them up: he’s all over them, including allegations that he sexually assaulted young girls. Will Rs continue to support an apparent pedophile?

Both Pretti & Good were killed by DHS agents and then immediately labeled “domestic terrorists.” The basis for the claims? Nothing. Homeland Dems & I have put DHS on formal notice: preserve the evidence & produce the materials. Noem must abide by the separation of powers & turn over the records.

As Donald Trump uses his violent secret ICE police to terrorize our cities and kill our neighbors — all part of an effort to rig the election — I will not vote for any bill that funds DHS without dramatic changes to its conduct.

Chairman Jim Jordan: it’s shameful that you’re going after orgs dedicated to helping vulnerable kids. Yet you ignore how DHS is contracting with Palantir to create a surveillance state against Americans. Civil liberties only matter to you when Republicans may be involved.

I have repeatedly asked Sec. Burgum and Sec. Hegseth to brief me on the purported classified information they allege requires Empire Wind 1 – a massive offshore wind project that is well underway – to stop work. I have received no response and no briefing. What are you hiding?

If DNI Gabbard is involved in an investigation at “President Trump’s directive to secure our elections,” and that “investigation” involves seizing voter rolls from the 2020 election, then his purpose is clear: use the intelligence community to interfere in the upcoming election.

Calling to stop the “hostile rhetoric” is deeply disingenuous when Trump and Stephen Miller have created an atmosphere where Rep. Ilhan Omar is assaulted at a town hall and untrained ICE agents are responding to protestors by killing them.   Accountability starts at the top, Tom Homan.

The American people are tired of ICE terrorizing our streets and tearing families apart. Senate Democrats must continue to stand firm against funding the Department of Homeland Security unless dramatic reforms are included.

While Congress was kept in the dark about the decision to capture Maduro, Trump has openly admitted he spoke with oil companies about the operation before it took place. Someone doesn’t have their story straight here, Sec. Rubio. Who is lying? You or POTUS?

Journalists arrested on bogus charges; citizens executed in the streets by masked secret police; election offices raided at the direction of an intelligence agency; oil executives notified of a military invasion before Congress. Putin’s America is here.

Stephen Miller is trying to rig the election. His plan escalated from militarized agents terrorizing our streets to Patel targeting voter rolls in Fulton County. I introduced an amendment to stop the federal government from seizing election records or voting machines. Senate Dems must add it now.

The Trump admin promised to deport the "worst of the worst." Instead, they abducted five-year-old Liam Ramos – whose father is legally here seeking asylum – and then sent him alone across the country. As a direct result of their cruelty and contempt for the law, Liam is now ill. #FreeLiam

When Noem declares all 16 DHS shootings “justified” before investigations were even finished, it just confirms again what we already know: there is no accountability for the secret brownshirts terrorizing our country. DHS OIG must complete those investigations and provide all evidence to Congress.
