Today I honor the people of Iran and their brave resistance to the Khamenei regime to bring about a free and democratic Iran. Iran's leaders must cease slaughtering its people, and heed the lessons of history - that corruption and repression will only lead to their downfall.

Evolving technology on our streets should not mean lack of standards or safety precautions. My bill enhances public safety by protecting drivers, passengers, and first responders from the potential danger of electric vehicle battery fires.

Thanks to our dedicated casework team, over $2.5 million has been returned to residents of NY-16! If you need assistance with a federal agency, visit Latimer.house.gov/services/help-federal-agency.

Yesterday I spoke on the House floor about my new bill with Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick to to keep our roads safe by improving EV battery safety standards, and educating firefighters on handling difficult battery fires.

I am excited to introduce the Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Battery Safety Act of 2026 with my colleague, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick! This bill will help make our roads and communities safer by addressing the risks of battery fires in electric and hybrid vehicles.

Leave. Greenland. Alone. The reckless threats to impose American military will everywhere is destroying American goodwill across the globe. The Administration’s foreign policy is looking more like Putin’s Russia.

January 6th, 2021, will be remembered as the day our Capitol was tarnished with hate and violence. May we remember, and thank, the brave servicemen and women who worked to protect those who work in the Capitol building that day.

I led 20 of my House colleagues in sending a letter to Treasury Sec. Bessent and Homeland Security Sec. Noem urging both departments to dedicate resources to planning for the impending SCOTUS decision on the legality of the President’s tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

Republican leadership is unwilling to call a vote to extend the ACA Enhanced Premium Tax credit. They pulled a stunt by passing a bill that did not contain a single word about ACA credits but the Amercians people are not buying it.

I'm a proud cosponsor of Rep. Tim Kennedy's LEAP Act, which would ensure that students getting advanced degrees that Trump's Admin no longer considers "professional" can still access higher loan caps.

While we mourn the tragic events in Sydney, we are reminded that celebrations for Chanukah should be welcomed as part of our diverse mosaic of cultures and religions. Tonight marks the first night of Chanukah - may the next 8 nights be filled with peace and light.

I proudly cosponsored and voted for the Protect America’s Workforce Act, which passed in the House this week. This bill repeals Trump’s EO that stripped 1 million federal workers of collective bargaining rights. This will restore rights and I’ll continue to fight this admin’s attacks on workers.

The Trump Administration’s Environmental Protection Agency is quietly denying us protection from forever chemicals, such as PFAS. Not only is this Administration making our groceries more expensive, but they’re also making them less healthy.

This Administration has proven they have an anti-education agenda that goes beyond picking someone to lead the ED who knows more about pro wrestling than education.

This week, @repglatimer.bsky.social and I led a coalition of Bronx elected officials in urging Secretary Rubio and the U.S. Department of State to deliver immediate emergency aid to Jamaica following the catastrophic destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa.

The NY Congressional delegation has urged Trump and USDA to ensure SNAP benefits will be received by New Yorkers without delay. USDA has contingency funds for this exact scenario and has a clear legal obligation do disburse them. The President is making a choice to take food assistance away.

Happy Halloween! Unfortunately this year, even Halloween candy is not immune from Trump’s reckless tariffs. Yet another example of how families continue to be squeezed by rising costs.

Hurricane Melissa recently made landfall over Jamaica and is a devastating storm. My thoughts are with the people of Jamaica and their family and loved ones in Westchester and the Bronx at this uncertain time. In the coming days, my office is here to assist however we can.

A couple in White Plains making $85,000/year will see their healthcare premiums increase by $1,100/month w/o the ACA tax credits. Another example of families being squeezed by rising costs due to House GOP inaction. It's past time to negotiate on healthcare tax credits and reopen the government.

Getting my annual flu vaccine helps keep me healthy throughout the winter season. Science > skepticism.

Inflation is up 3% from a year ago. Economists predict the Trump administration’s tariff agenda could raise consumer prices more in the months ahead. He promised lower costs on Day 1. It’s been 10 months. It’s time for Congress to step up and act to bring costs down. www.npr.org/2025/10/24/n...

In July, Trump and Republicans cut food assistance in their Big Ugly Bill. Now, they're putting these benefits at further risk for 2.9 million New Yorkers by refusing to reopen the government. It's time for Republicans to come to the table and negotiate. www.fox5ny.com/news/snap-be...

According to KFF, healthcare premiums in our district will increase on average by 230% if we don’t take action to extend the ACA tax credits. Families and small business owners are getting squeezed by rising costs. We must address these premiums before it’s too late.

Today my staff attended the Westchester County Diverse Ability Job and Resource Fair. They were able to provide information to attendees who may need assistance with the VA, IRS, and Social Security. It is always great to partner with the County on this impactful event.

The Republican majority has cancelled votes for the last month and time is running out before ACA tax credits expire. New York is one of the first states to send out premium notices. If you have received one and seen it increase, I hope you will share it with us here: forms.gle/YFXmEMrbnynS...

Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating in Westchester and the Bronx. May your holiday be filled with joy and light!

Today I joined hundreds of neighbors at No Kings rallies in New Rochelle and Larchmont. The message was clear: Americans do not want a despot. We believe our leaders should abide by the Constitution and uphold the rule of law.

Donald Trump’s decision to cancel the Gateway Project - already under construction - is all about political spite and revenge. Vengeance on Chuck Schumer means more to him than the millions of commuters who travel between states in the economic capital of this country.

The government is shut down. Millions stand to lose their healthcare or pay double for premiums. Meanwhile, Trump is handing $40 billion to his friend in Argentina. His priorities couldn't be clearer: Trump first, America last.

An update from DC: I am here with my colleagues demanding our Republican colleagues come to back to DC to end this shutdown and work with us to make healthcare more affordable.

Even though the Republican majority cancelled votes again this week, I’m on the train to DC to work on extending the ACA tax credits and reopening the government. My Dem colleagues and I are ready to get to work on negotiations. It’s time for Republicans to come to the table.

This past weekend I attended the New Rochelle Italian American Heritage Month event at City Hall, as well as other Columbus Day activities in the district. This Columbus Day, we celebrate the great civic and cultural contributions made to our nation by Italian Americans.

They’re home!

Our brave military personnel and their families will miss a paycheck because of this shutdown; I support immediate negotiations to authorize military pay, which Republicans refuse to allow. This is why we need real bipartisan negotiations to reopen the government & restore lower healthcare costs.

Tish James has been a strong advocate and defender of the law. This cheap attempt at intimidation - joining his prior efforts to bully universities, law firms and late night comedians- will fail on the merits.

Our constituent services team has been out in the community helping residents with issues related to federal agencies and benefits including last week at the New Rochelle Public Library and today at Senior Law Day. Even with the government shutdown, my offices are open.

We are one week into this government shutdown and no closer to extending the ACA tax credits. When open enrollment starts next month, families will see their premiums more than double. We need bipartisan negotiations now to extend these tax credits and reopen the government.

I spoke with WGCH yesterday about the ongoing shutdown and what failing to extend the ACA tax credits will mean for families. The Big Ugly Bill takes healthcare away from 15 million people. Now millions more could see their ACA premiums double. We cannot let this happen!

My statement commemorating the two year anniversary of the October 7th attacks.

I recently attended a moving ceremony for Paul and Orial Redd. The Redds lived in Rye for over 50 years and were civil rights activists who won a landmark housing discrimination case. With Paul and Orial Redd Way, future generations will be able to learn about and honor the Redds’ legacy.

Trump said he’d cut costs on day one. And yet, costs are up across the board because of the reckless tariffs and the Big Ugly Bill, and Americans are feeling it.

My constituent services team will be at the New Rochelle Public Library tomorrow from 1-4pm. They will be able to provide one-on-one assistance with issues related to federal agencies and benefits. I hope you will stop by!

Wishing everyone observing Yom Kippur in Westchester and the Bronx an easy and meaningful fast.

Republicans control the House, Senate and the White House. They refused to negotiate on extending ACA tax credits so the government shut down. I know you may have questions and concerns about how a government shutdown will affect you. My offices remain open to assist you. latimer.house.gov/shutdown

My statement on the Trump Administration cutting $187 million in Homeland Security counterterrorism funding from multiple New York counties, including Westchester County and New York City.

This morning I stood with my Democratic colleagues here in DC, ready to work to protect affordable healthcare and keep the government open. Republicans have refused to negotiate or come back to DC, which is unacceptable.

Our constituent services team will be in Yonkers this afternoon to provide one-on-one assistance with issues related to federal agencies and benefits. I hope you will stop by!

I'm headed back to DC to fight to protect affordable healthcare for New Yorkers and keep the government open, even though the Republican majority has cancelled votes this week and have no plans to come back.

I was honored to meet with PM Kurti of the Republic of Kosovo. As a young nation, Kosovo has made great strides improving living standards while maintaining democratic principles. Keeping strong ties with allies like Kosovo is the best way to maintain peace, prosperity and democracy here and abroad.
