Proud to celebrate United Federation of Teachers and Council of School Supervisors & Administrators members at my union appreciation event. Our educators and school leaders are the backbone of NYC, and I’ll keep fighting to ensure they have the support and benefits they deserve.

ICE agents have been causing chaos in our communities for months. Law-abiding immigrants are being detained at routine check-ins—that’s not enforcement, it’s intimidation. (1/2)

Utility bills are too high and they're still rising. They’re up 13% nationwide under Trump. Democrats’ Affordability Agenda cracks down on utility monopolies, cuts wasteful spending, and prioritizes cost-saving investments. It will put about $500/year back in families’ pockets.

Being a mom to my two boys is easily my favorite job! Wishing a Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmothers, and caregivers who hold our communities together. Today, we celebrate the strength, sacrifice, and love you show every day. Thank you for everything you do. 💐

This Teacher Appreciation Week, I’m proud to honor the educators here in Queens and across the country who go above and beyond for our students every single day. Teachers don’t just educate — they inspire, mentor, and help shape the future of our communities. (1/2)

Weekend Office Hours: 5/9 My team & I are hosting weekend office hours Saturday, May 9, 10am-1pm, at my Forest Hills District Office! Stop by to ask questions & receive assistance with federal agencies like the IRS, VA, Social Security, & more. Details👇

I was proud to secure nearly a million dollars for NICE: New Immigrant Community Empowerment! Let's take a look at how they're putting those dollars to work to support families in Queens.

I joined Council Member Shekar Krishnan and community leaders today calling for the MTA to reopen the LIRR station in Elmhurst. Reopening this LIRR station would be a major win for Elmhurst and surrounding neighborhood — expanding transit access and meeting growing community needs. (1/2)

Grateful to speak at the Korean National Prayer Breakfast. At a time that is very uncertain and even scary for many in the Korean American community, it’s more important than ever for us to come together, lift up our community leaders, and pursue peace and justice.

Honored to speak with the Bayside Business Association! Small businesses are the backbone of communities like ours—but tariffs and rising costs are putting real pressure on owners. They deserve the relief the President has been promising for months. (1/2)

Our country is experiencing a housing crisis and communities like Queens are not immune. Democrats’ Affordability Agenda helps first-time homebuyers cover down payments and closing costs, lowers borrowing costs, invests in affordable housing, and expands rental assistance. (1/2)

Happy Cinco de Mayo, Queens! Today we celebrate the rich culture, deep roots, and lasting contributions of Mexican Americans in our community and across the country. From music and food to leadership and community, your impact shapes our nation every day.

Childcare costs are out of control. No parent should have to choose between working or getting an education & staying home because care is too expensive. Dems’ Affordability Agenda would create universal childcare, capping costs at 7% of income — with many families paying no more than $10 a day.

Great stopping by SelfHelp's Austin Street Senior Center to connect with local seniors, answer questions, and hear what’s on their minds! Need help with Social Security, the VA, IRS, or another federal agency? My team is ready to help—call us at (718) 358-MENG.

Happy International Firefighters Day! In Queens, we're grateful everyday to the brave FDNY firefighters who put their lives on the line every day to protect our community. (1/2)

My full statement on the antisemitic graffiti in Forest Hills and Rego Park👇

I’m disappointed that U.S. Department of Education ignored calls to keep nursing, OT, PT, and other critical fields classified as professional degrees. This decision slashes federal loan support for post-bacc students and will worsen workforce shortages.

Happy International Workers Day, Queens! Strong unions make strong communities. On #MayDay I’m proud to recognize the achievements of the labor movement and the hardworking men and women behind it. I will always stand with them in the fight for better wages, benefits, and safer working conditions.

Happy Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Queens! Our #AANHPI history IS American history and deserves to be told for generations to come. (1/2)

Millions of Americans are barely getting by. Prices are up on everything—groceries, gas, health care, utilities—and Trump’s tariffs are making it even worse. While billionaires cash in and corporations get handouts, working families are stuck paying the price.

To the Republicans who voted to include rotisserie chicken in SNAP—but not hot soup or other prepared food:

My full statement on my vote against the Farm Bill amendment on rotisserie chicken SNAP eligibility👇

Republicans already agreed to fund DHS without new money for ICE. Now they’ve walked it back — and funding is stalled. The Administration’s funding for TSA is about to run out. Federal workers can’t afford another missed paycheck. Republicans need to honor their agreement and fund DHS now.

The Trump Administration just rolled out an Expanded Global Gag Rule that conditions lifesaving aid on adoption of extreme far-right, anti-abortion, anti-equality policies. This dangerous agenda doubles down on USAID cuts, puts millions at risk, and threatens our national security. (1/2)

The Supreme Court's ruling is a devastating setback for fair and equal representation in America, especially for Black and minority voters. Americans marched, bled, and fought to secure the Voting Rights Act. Each time it is eroded, Americans lose faith in the power of their vote. (1/2)

Proud to celebrate Arab American Heritage Month with our Arab community in Queens and beyond—honoring the cultures, traditions, and contributions that strengthen our communities every day. Let’s continue uplifting their stories and impact across our nation.

Strong unions build strong communities. Great meeting with LIUNA to talk about protecting good-paying jobs and workers’ rights. I’ll always stand with them in that fight.

Sudan is the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Over 400,000 people killed, 15 million displaced, and sexual violence used as a weapon of war against women and girls. This month marks 3 years since the conflict resumed. (1/2)

Relieved that everyone at tonight’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner is safe. I’m grateful to the law enforcement officers who acted swiftly to stop the shooter and protect every elected official, journalist, staff member, and guest. (1/2)

My full statement on Trump's efforts to denaturalize U.S. citizens👇

I’m proud to have secured over $1 million in federal funding for Guardians of Flushing Bay! Take a look at how they’re putting it to work for our community.

CAPAC Members Condemn Trump’s Racist Post Against Indian and Chinese Immigrants:

The world’s 2.4 billion young people are the future. USAID used to help them build peace, choose education instead of terrorism, and develop leadership skills. Now those programs are gone, and countries are doubling down on military spending instead of programs that help prevent war. (1/2)

Amplifying a racist rant is disgraceful and beneath any elected official—let alone a President. (1/2)

Sec. Lutnick previously said he cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein in 2005. But newly released records show he visited Epstein’s private island in 2012—four years after Epstein’s conviction for soliciting a minor.   Americans deserve full transparency about Secretary Lutnick’s relationship with Epstein.

Honored to celebrate members of AFGE Local 3369 and Mason Tenders LIUNA at my quarterly union appreciation day. Grateful for all they do to stand up for workers and strengthen our communities.

Happy Earth Day! This year, I'm backing the Energy Bills Relief Act, because it: ✅ Lowers costs ✅ Expands home-grown clean energy ✅ Modernizes our grid ✅ Reduces pollution With energy bills rising and the climate crisis intensifying, our planet and our wallets cannot afford to wait.

There is no question that SNAP should cover hot meals, like a rotisserie chicken. I've been working on this for years through my Hot Foods Act. The Farm Bill hits the floor next week, and I’m fighting to include my bill. (1/2)

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of Congressman David Scott. For nearly five decades, he served the people of Georgia with dedication — championing farmers and making history as the first Black chair of the House Agriculture Committee. (1/2)

Lori Chavez-DeRemer gutted worker protections and went after unions. Workers deserve a Labor leader who fights for them—not one mired in scandal and running a toxic workplace.

Our Afghan allies were promised safety in the US after they fought alongside us. Those who have been properly vetted should be able to find safety here, as promised. Deporting them to a country they've never known — or worse, Afghanistan — is wrong.

Proud to support STEM and workforce development at Queens College with federal funding for a new nanofabrication facility! Opening in 2028, this cutting-edge space will equip students for careers in engineering and emerging tech. www.theknightnews.com/2026/04/15/q...

Groceries, gas, homes — costs are skyrocketing across the board. Americans are stuck paying the price for the President’s trade wars and backroom deals.  What happened to putting America First?

Fun fact: I'm on the Slow Fashion Caucus & I love a good find at a thrift shop.

The price you see should be the price you pay. This is a major win for fans, artists, and venues that have had to operate under Live Nation’s unfair system. 
People are fed up with big companies piling on junk fees and getting away with it.

Lives have already been lost. Gas prices are climbing. Families who are barely getting by can’t afford another blow. I voted again this week against war with Iran. Congress never authorized this. We need transparency—and we need to stop another endless war.

My team is in touch with the 104th Precinct about this unacceptable incident in Middle Village as the investigation continues. I’m grateful that no officers or community members were injured. There’s no place for this dangerous behavior, damaging vehicles and disrupting public safety efforts.

Good riddance. He—and everyone responsible for the fear ICE has inflicted on our communities—must be held accountable. No matter who’s in charge, I’ll keep fighting for transparency and accountability at this agency.
