Democrats AND Republicans know Americans want to know the truth behind the Epstein files. That's why 218 of us are forcing the House to vote on it. Release the files for the American people.

Pasta is a household staple, but 107% tariffs on your favorite brands could double the price of your go-to dinner. Families are already struggling to make ends meet & the Administration is only making the basics unaffordable.

I condemn these attacks and urge Israeli authorities to hold the perpetrators accountable. This violent extremism cannot be tolerated. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/13/w...

FDNY Fire Safety Event: 11/15 I’m partnering w/Senator John Liu & the FDNY to host a Fire Safety Event on Saturday, November 15, 11:30am - 1:00pm, at Taipei Economic Cultural Office in Flushing! Stop by to learn more about fire safety & prevention, lithium battery usage, safe escape plans, & more.

I’m standing in solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org as they fight for their first contract.✊ After more than four years, it’s time for Starbucks to bargain in good faith and reach the agreement their workers deserve.

The bill to fund the government on the House floor this evening wasn't a "deal." It does absolutely nothing to address rising health care costs. Nor does it do anything to help families make ends meet. (1/2)

The facts speak for themselves. The President apparently knew what Epstein was doing. Release the files now.

The House was out of session for 53 days and the GOP didn't use a single moment to address health care costs. Health insurance tax credits are about to expire, and everyone’s premiums will skyrocket.

Joining constituents at a seminar to educate Queens resides about the issue of lead poisoning. Thanks to @vnshealth.bsky.social, @nychealthy.bsky.social and the Jamaica Bangladesh Friends Society for organizing this important event.

On Veterans Day, we honor the brave men and women from Queens & beyond who have served our country with courage and sacrifice. Thank you to all veterans for protecting our freedoms and inspiring generations. Today and every day — we are eternally grateful.

I’m always proud to honor veterans from our borough at the Queens Veterans Day ceremony in Middle Village. Thank you to all who paid tribute to the brave men and women who served our country.

My statement on the Senate government shutdown deal.

I visited the BVM St. Mary’s Winfield Pantry, which serves residents in Woodside, Maspeth and Elmhurst, where residents waited in long lines to feed their families following the delay in SNAP benefits.

I know many federal workers & families that rely on food assistance are concerned about affording their grocery bill this month as the GOP shutdown continues. For anyone in need, here is a list of local food pantries serving Queens families.👇

In America, nobody should live in fear of practicing their religion. That’s why I introduced the Pray Safe Act, a bipartisan bill to help houses of worship, faith-based organizations, and nonprofits secure themselves. This vandalism is antisemitic and unacceptable.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Speaker Pelosi is a legend in the halls of Congress. As the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House, she has led with strength, conviction, and grace. I’m grateful that she took the opportunity to visit my district in Queens, coming to Elmhurst and Forest Hills.

Our national security depends on the status of women and girls around the world. Supporting women’s economic empowerment, combating gender-based violence, and making sure women have a seat at the table isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s the smart thing to do. (1/2)

The Administration is refusing to deliver the full SNAP benefits that millions of New Yorkers rely on. Without support from our food pantries, families will go hungry.  I'm fighting to fund SNAP & feed our families in Queens.

Share your story: how will rising health care premiums affect you? With ACA tax credits set to expire, everyone’s insurance costs could go up if Congress doesn’t act. How much more will you pay? Take my survey👇 meng.house.gov/resources/sh...

TSA Agents and Air Traffic Controllers constantly work under stressful conditions to keep our skies & communities safe. They shouldn't have to worry about when they'll get their next paycheck. No matter what happens in Washington, we must ensure these federal workers get paid.

Omer Neutra, an American citizen, a New Yorker, a neighbor, and a kid from Long Island, was killed by Hamas on October 7. Since that terrible day, his parents, Ronen and Orna, have shown extraordinary strength, tirelessly working to bring Omer and all the hostages home.

New Yorkers - Election Day is here and polls are open until 9pm. Your vote is your voice. If you haven't already voted, check your registration, find your polling location, & make a plan to cast your ballot! amiregistered.vote.nyc

A partial payment isn't enough for the 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP to put food on the table. Two separate judges ruled that the Administration must make a plan to continue funding the program.

Proud to join Queens DA Melinda Katz & NYC Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jason Graham to host the first Missing Persons Day in Queens. Providing one-on-one support to families brings hope to those searching for loved ones and helps law enforcement move closer to answers in these heartbreaking cases.

I’m grateful to see Governor Kathy Hochul continuing to fill in the gaps that New Yorkers are facing now that their SNAP benefits failed to arrive on November 1.

Happy Halloween, Queens!🎃👻 Wishing everyone a safe, spooky, and candy-filled evening.

My team and I are closely monitoring flooding and any related damage across Queens this evening. We remain in contact with NYC Water. If you see flooding on your street, please call 311. To all of my Queens constituents, please stay safe and avoid unnecessary travel tonight.

Although Italian American Heritage Month is winding down, I look forward to continuing to recognize the culture of Italian Americans, and the many contributions that the Italian American community has made in New York and across the nation.

The White House is giving Argentina a $40B bailout…meanwhile 42 MILLION families will go without their SNAP benefits on November 1st and Americans across the country are about to see their health insurance premiums skyrocket.

A special thank you to everyone at City Harvest for helping make the food drive for federal workers a success. Thousands of federal employees & families are missing paychecks this week & can’t afford to wait. As the GOP shutdown drags on, we have to keep showing up & supporting them however we can.

"Our grocery list has gotten smaller while our budget has had to increase..." Millions of Americans are feeling it too, as tariffs drive up the cost of everyday essentials. Families shouldn’t have to spend thousands more a year just to put food on the table.

Never before has a shutdown prevented SNAP benefits from being provided, but the Administration is threatening this crucial assistance just ahead of Thanksgiving. (1/2)

I'm sending strength and prayers to the people of Jamaica as Hurricane Melissa makes landfall. To all of my Queens constituents with family in Jamaica: my thoughts are with you and your loved ones. My team and I stand ready to provide support in any way we can.

Thank you Governor Kathy Hochul for providing an extra $30 million in food aid as New Yorkers prepare to be cut off from SNAP due to the GOP shutdown.

Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. If they aren’t in control of the government, then who is???

This week, Rep. Gregory Meeks and I met with Jamaica Hospital Medical Center and Flushing Hospital Medical Center- FHMC leaders to address how the GOP’s health care crisis is hurting Queens — and why expanding access to affordable care is more urgent than ever.

94,000 of my Queens constituents could lose their SNAP benefits if the Administration doesn’t act now. Families shouldn’t go hungry because of GOP political brinkmanship. It's time for the Administration to ensure these benefits don't lapse for November. www.cbpp.org/blog/the-tru...

The Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP) helps thousands of New Yorkers afford their utility bills & stay warm during the cold winter months. But the ongoing government shutdown will delay this program until November 17th. (1/2)

Health insurance premiums are set to rise if Congress doesn’t extend key tax credits. I’m fighting to keep coverage affordable—and fund the government. Share your story: how will this affect you?

Never expected to earn a black belt — even an honorary one! Huge thanks to Grandmaster Y. H. Park, the Y. H. Park Taekwondo Academy, and Ron Kim for the honor. It was amazing to cheer on so many talented athletes and celebrate their dedication this weekend.

TOMORROW: City Harvest Food Drive I'm partnering with City Harvest to host a food distribution for federal and contract workers impacted by the shutdown. Join us 11am - 1pm at the Queens Museum for fresh produce & groceries. Please bring your federal or contractor ID. Details👇

ICE showed up in Chinatown yesterday dressed for war, not community safety. Hardworking families were terrified. Communities were thrown into chaos. This isn’t law enforcement; it’s a federal overreach.

Almost 94,000 of my constituents rely on SNAP to put food on the table each month. Why isn’t the Administration taking the billions it’s using to bail out Argentina, buy private jets, or build a fancy ballroom to guarantee SNAP benefits instead?

Grateful to law enforcement for preventing another act of targeted political violence. There is no place for political violence in any community. We must continue to condemn these threats and hateful acts—no matter which side of the aisle they target.

I stopped by LaGuardia Airport to visit federal workers, like our TSA agents, who are working without pay as the GOP shutdown continues.

Happy Diwali to all who celebrate in Queens and beyond! May the lights of the season fill your homes with joy, love, and new beginnings.
