I am proud to announce that my bill, the bipartisan Healthy Start Reauthorization Act of 2025 just passed @energycommerce.bsky.social unanimously. We must continue fighting for new moms and babies everywhere. I look forward to getting this to the president's desk.

The Trump administration and Department of Energy policies have already cost Americans 91,000 clean energy jobs and counting. They are actively killing jobs in rural places and small towns across this country, and they have no plan to replace them.

(1/2) Trump's immigration policies are threatening access to long-term health services. Health Aides like Marcia should be able to focus on providing care without fear of deportation. www.cbsnews.com/video/advocates-warn-immigration-changes-could-worsen-health-care-aide-shortage/

It is against United States law to provide weapons to forces that commit war crimes. Yet our government in Democratic and Republican administrations have continued sending American made bombs to an Israeli government carrying out a genocide. It is time to Block the Bombs.

I’m proud that Representative Malliotakis and I are moving our bill to fund Healthy Start programs one step closer to the House floor. Over 115 Healthy Start programs across the U.S. are at risk. Let's get this done for moms and babies everywhere.

The 9/11 Immigrant Worker Freedom Act, reintroduced today by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, @aoc.bsky.social, would provide undocumented 9/11 workers with a pathway to citizenship. documentedny.com/2025/09/11/u...

Solidarity with workers as they rally in Queens today to demand that Amazon recognize their union and allow them to bargain for a fair contract ✊🏽

Trump wants to replace doctors with AI to determine whether Medicare patients get the care they need. A machine will have the ability to override a licensed doctor to deny care in order to increase profits. Make no mistake, this is a direct attack on Medicare.

The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading. It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.

School just started, and we are already mourning two children killed and dozens more injured as they prayed during mass. It doesn’t have to be this way. Congress must act to keep our kids safe.

Last month, Trump signed the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ into law, including several provisions that will make education more expensive. To find out more about changes to student loans, join our webinar tomorrow, Aug 27, at 12:00 PM. 📍at bit.ly/45qoz1d

Con Ed is trying to raise electricity and gas bills by 18% for working New Yorkers - all while reporting major profits. I sent a letter today with my colleagues urging the Public Service Commission to stand up for our constituents and deny Con Ed’s rate hike.

I am heartbroken to learn about the killing of our constituent, Kevin Mares. He was a lifelong E. Elmhurst resident with a bright future ahead of him. I am in touch with PR authorities and value their efforts to help bring Kevin home to rest.

After meeting with local vendors and business owners, my office reached out to @nycsanitation.bsky.social about the need for more trash cans along Roosevelt Ave. Thanks to their quick response, 51 trash cans were installed! Grateful for their partnership in keeping our community clean!

This week, Trump shredded collective bargaining agreements for over 400,000 VA workers. This move will hurt workers, many of whom are veterans themselves, and will put veteran care at risk. VA Secretary Doug Collins must reverse course.

Jackson Heights residents like Ms. Beverly pushed to make our post office ADA accessible. Thanks to our community's advocacy we now have a fully functional ramp. It was a pleasure to present her with a certificate of congressional recognition for her service to our community.

(1/2) Constituent acknowledgments are a great way to celebrate our community. Whether you know someone celebrating a milestone birthday, retiring from public service, or has given back to the community, The Bronx and Queens deserves recognition.

Over 90% of airports are facing air traffic controller shortages, leading to delays, cancellations, and safety concerns. Earlier this month, I celebrated Vaughn College's entry into a program that will expand air traffic controller training and make our skies safer✈️

Yesterday, my office hosted a Know Your Rights workshop in Corona with @thenyic.bsky.social and local community partners. To learn more about your rights when interacting with ICE, visit our KYR web page or reach out to our office!

Last year, Direct File saved taxpayers $5.6 million in tax preparation costs by allowing people to file their taxes for FREE. That’s why tax preparation companies like TurboTax and Intuit lobbied to get rid of it. Trump just gave them their wish. news.bloombergtax.com/daily-tax-re...

This morning, I joined our NY-14 community to honor the life of Detective Didarul Islam at the Parkchester Jame Masjid. We will remember his sacrifice. We will carry his service forward, and make sure Detective Islam and all those we lost Monday are never forgotten.

Read my statement urging the Senate to pass @sanders.senate.gov’ resolutions to block weapons transfers to the Israeli government ⬇️

For 60 years Democrats have defended, protected, and worked to expand Medicare and Medicaid - and now Republicans are ripping it away from millions of Americans. We will not stop fighting for affordable, reliable care.

Officer Didarul Islam was one of four people killed last night. Our Parkchester community is mourning his passing and will remember his courage in the line of duty. My thoughts are with his wife, children, and our entire Bangladeshi American community. www.nydailynews.com/2025/07/29/n...

Tonight, a horrific shooting in Midtown took the lives of 3 people, including an NYPD officer. My heart goes out to the victims, their families, and everyone impacted. As my office continues to monitor the situation, I want to thank our first responders for their bravery.

UnitedHealth has finally confirmed criminal and civil investigations into their Medicare billing practices. The Department of Justice must include allegations reported by the @theguardian.com that UHC sacrificed patient care to increase profits.

Happy to be back in Corona Plaza to continue our team’s conversations with vendors and local business owners about our coordinated efforts to make Roosevelt Avenue a safer and cleaner place.

In March, I sent a letter supporting Vaughn College's application for the AT-CTI, a program that expands air traffic controller training and makes our skies safer. Today, Rep. Tom Suozzi and I celebrated Vaughn's entry into this program and all the jobs and opportunities it will bring New Yorkers.

I am devastated to hear about the plane crash at Milestone School and College in Dhaka, Bangladesh. I am sending my deepest condolences to everyone in NY-14 with loved ones affected by this tragedy. www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/7/...

The United States has the highest rates of maternal and infant deaths among all wealthy countries. The Healthy Start Program improves maternal and infant health by supporting parents and their babies. We must continue the bipartisan tradition of protecting this program.

This morning, my office held a Know Your Rights workshop in Queens with special guests @thenyic.bsky.social. No matter what this Admin may try to tell you, everyone in our country has rights. It's up to us to keep each other safe and informed. (1/2)

The revolving door of public service to lobbying is a major reason why everyday Americans struggle to trust our institutions. Lobbying by members of Congress should be banned, and I am happy to co-lead @neguse.house.gov's bill to do just that. ocasio-cortez.house.gov/media/press-...

Trump’s EPA put 130+ employees on leave for sending a letter opposing the administration’s anti-science policies. Punishing federal employees for speaking out is un-American. The workers must be reinstated immediately. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Trump's Big Ugly Bill is a deal with the devil. It hikes up taxes on people making less than $50,000 while cutting Medicaid and SNAP benefits to give Elon Musk and greedy billionaires a huge tax break. You do the math. Is that worth it to you?

From prenatal support to cancer screenings, Planned Parenthood is dedicated to the full spectrum of women's health care. The Supreme Court is telling women that their lives are disposable and their health doesn't matter. Shameful.

Three years ago, a corrupt Supreme Court seized our rights and overturned Roe v. Wade. The resulted is just what we predicted. Women dying because they can't get basic healthcare. Doctors afraid to treat patients. We will not stop fighting until abortion rights are restored.

For-profit insurance companies like UnitedHealthcare are defrauding taxpayers out of $80 billion a year. HHS Secretary Kennedy claims he wants to "clean up corruption" while he is doubling taxpayer dollars to these companies. That sounds like the real "waste, fraud, and abuse."

Last week, I joined @grownyc.bsky.social for the grand opening of the NY State Regional Food Hub in Hunts Point. This Food Hub will bring healthy and affordable food directly to New Yorkers. Proud to have secured $1,000,000 in federal funding for its construction.

Know Your Rights Information🚨 ICE has been arresting people at immigration court and routine check-ins across the country. If you or a loved one is in this situation, know you still have rights.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

Trump and Republicans aren’t just against illegal immigration. They are against legal immigration. They are attacking legal status. — @ocasio-cortez.house.gov

House Democrats sent letters to the potential buyers of the genetic testing company, asking how they plan to protect customer genetic data under a change of ownership. www.wired.com/story/congre...

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

We're proud to regularly host mobile office hours across The Bronx and Queens. This year our team has held mobile office hours in Throggs Neck, Mott Haven, Jackson Heights, and more! Subscribe to our newsletter for updates on when we’ll be in your area next.

Trump's sweeping travel ban limits immigration based on bigotry, not safety. It will put countless lives at risk and tear mixed-status families apart. Hate is a bad policy. We're ready to fight it again.

It's 2025 and Americans still get an average of 15 robocalls each month. Spam calls are not just annoying and predatory, they're preventable. Congress needs to act and hold bad actors accountable.

This Pride Month, we celebrate the strength and resilience of the queer community in NY-14 and across the world. In the face of bigotry and prejudice, your courage to live authentically inspires us all. We stand with you every day in the fight for dignity and justice. 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️
