It is time we bring down the cost of housing, healthcare, and child care. I'm proud to co-lead the Congressional Progressive Caucus’s New Affordability Agenda, so we can put money back in the pockets of Americans and uphold our promises to working families.

Let May Day be a reminder of the courage of workers across the world demanding peace, fair wages, and better working conditions. History demands more than standing with workers in spirit. We must fight alongside them in Congress every day.

Tens of thousands of lawsuits have been filed against Bayer for failing to warn people about the risks of glyphosate exposure. Now, EPA Administrator Zeldin and Trump are pushing for legal immunity to protect Bayer from being sued by Americans getting cancer from their product.

There is no place for political violence in our country. I am relieved that the President and the attendees at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner last night are safe.

My team and I are closely monitoring the five-alarm fire at the First Reformed Church of Astoria and are in touch with NYC Emergency Management. If you are in the surrounding area, close your windows and avoid smoky areas. Thank you to our first responders on the scene.

I am deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Congressman David Scott, who passionately served the people of Georgia's 13th district for more than 20 years. Congressman Scott was a fierce advocate and will be sincerely missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Giant health insurance companies, like UnitedHealth, are under investigation for corporate fraud through their Medicare Advantage plans. We cannot give these companies one more taxpayer dollar, let alone the $13 billion HHS Secretary Kennedy just approved.

There is no reason why the Bronx shouldn’t have the beautiful waterfront access and infrastructure that every other borough has. That is why I am proud to have secured $1 million in federal funding to help restore public access to the East 132nd Street pier in Port Morris.

Deportation is a matter of life-and-death for 350,000+ Haitian nationals in the U.S. That is why I am proud to have voted to pass @pressley.house.gov’s legislation to extend Haiti TPS and give our neighbors the critical protections they deserve.

Trump has threatened to use the U.S. military to carry out acts of genocide against the Iranian people. Make no mistake: those that voted NO to the War Powers Resolution are actively endorsing that threat. Congress must exercise our power to end this chaos.

We are wishing our Bengali community in NY-14 and beyond a very Happy Bengali New Year! We hope you are all able to spend this vibrant, lively, and joyful holiday with your loved ones. Shubho Noboborsho!

Today, @markey.senate.gov and I wrote to Secretary Burgum to oppose this administration’s decision to pay a French company nearly $1 billion to cancel offshore wind facilities off the East Coast. This administration must stop using our tax dollars to prop up the fossil fuel industry.

Our current drug scheduling system in the U.S. does little to deter drug abuse or overdose rates, but instead hinders research and unfairly criminalizes communities. We need to invest in actual solutions like prevention, treatment, and recovery.

Democrats put 9 bills forward to fund TSA. Trump and Republicans blocked every bill because they want to tie TSA workers’ paychecks to billions in more unchecked funding for ICE. The answer is clear: fund TSA and not ICE.

I'm heartbroken by the tragic collision at LaGuardia. My prayers are with the loved ones of the two pilots killed and all those injured. LaGuardia is closed as investigations continue. Please check with your airline on the status of your flight before going to the airport. (1/2)

If Paramount can shell out billions of dollars to acquire Warner Bros. Discovery, then they can pay their unionized CBS staff a fair wage. I stand with the CBS staff who walked out today as they fight these corporate giants for essential protections and fair contracts.

My prayers are with the loved ones of the 6 American service members killed in a KC-135 crash in Western Iraq yesterday. Every life lost is an immeasurable tragedy. We can and must end Trump’s war.

I'm devastated by the antisemitic attack at one of our nation's largest reform synagogues. My heart is with the entire Temple Israel congregation. Antisemitism has no place in our country. We owe it to our Jewish siblings to stamp it out and ensure they can worship without fear.

Happy International Women’s Day! I’m honored to be part of a legacy of women who pushed forward together to achieve the impossible. Today we celebrate the tenacity of those who made our progress possible, and the resolve it will take to create a better world for our children.

Republicans are using kids as a smokescreen for what Big Tech lobbyists want: a national surveillance program to harvest our data with zero protections for people and their privacy. We must fight this dangerous expansion of surveillance technology.

"At the top of this bill, we will talk about kids… but when you actually open the hood, it’s being used as a smokescreen for everything that Big Tech lobbyists want.” @ocasio-cortez.house.gov calls out Republicans’ partisan bill that lets Big Tech off the hook for kids’ online safety.

Happy Holi to those celebrating in NY-14 and in the diaspora! We are wishing you all a fantastic and colorful Holi festival this year. May this day bring you an abundance of joy, love, and light!

Every year, Congress is tasked with passing appropriations bills to dictate how federal dollars are spent. It is my job as your Representative to fight to bring money back to our district. If someone you know has a project that would uplift NY-14, go to bit.ly/FY27Approps

Ramadan Mubarak to all those observing this blessed month. May this be a season of clarity and strength.

Happy Lunar New Year! May the year of the Fire Horse fill you and your loved ones with fearlessness, passion, and strength!

Rev. Jesse Jackson was a giant of the Civil Rights Movement. His dedication to fighting for racial justice and dignity for working people shaped the moral arc of our nation. As we mourn his life, we must carry his light forward and work to keep hope alive. May he rest in peace.

We can't fall into right-wing populism’s lie that the most vulnerable in society are to blame for wealth inequality in our countries. We need to build movements that tell the truth: the story of wealth inequality is not a cultural one, but a class one.

When you have a rules-based order where you carve out exceptions to our values, eventually the exceptions become the rules.

If we are going to stave off the scourges of authoritarianism globally, our politics need to center the working class.

When only the wealthy can afford peace of mind for their children, we've turned childhood into a privilege, not a promise. I am proud to lead the Child Care for Every Community Act with @warren.senate.gov to cap childcare costs and fight for universal childcare. 19thnews.org/2026/02/aoc-...

Thank you to all of the constituents who joined our town hall last week to hear about the work we are doing to fight Trump’s cruel immigration policies and how we can invest in The Bronx and Queens. You ground our work and we are immensely grateful for your support.

Claudette Colvin is an icon of American history. It was an honor to be her neighbor and attend her memorial last week at Abyssinian Baptist Church alongside her family. As we continue to uplift her story, let us honor Ms. Colvin by living the way she did: with courage.

I am leading the demand with @ocasio-cortez.house.gov—along with 75 House Democrats—that Secretary Marco Rubio reverse the Department of State’s threat to reproductive freedoms around the globe. (1/2)

When Jeff Bezos bought WaPo, he immediately took control of the opinions section. Now, he's laying off hundreds of journalists, including those covering Amazon. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s the result of billionaires with vested political agendas taking over our media.

Intimidation is an age old tactic to qualm public dissent and outrage. This Administration is going after public figures to encourage the American people to self-censor. But we will not be silenced, and we will not accept this violation of our First Amendment Rights.

Black history is American history. The music, the movements, the sacrifice, the triumph - it has all shaped who we are. In celebrating Black History Month, let us learn the untold stories and honor those who paved the way for progress.

Thank you to Mr. Chaskin's Longwood Prep students for asking Chancellor Samuels and I great questions about civic engagement, public service, and the issues affecting their communities. Longwood's teachers and administrators are building an empowered community of student leaders.
