We've only passed 3 of the required 12 bills for a long-term spending plan. We have a lot of work to do and health insurance premiums are set to skyrocket if we don't act soon.

I’ll be live on The Hill Sunday on News Nation with Chris Stirewalt in just a few minutes. Tune in!

The only group of Americans who will see their income rise under Donald Trump's policies are the top 1%. And it's by design.

Heartbroken by the passing of a pillar of our community, Freddi Macek. A lifelong labor leader, RCSD teacher, and tireless advocate for working people, Freddi was always the first to show up and support the fight for fairness. I’m thinking of her family and all who loved her.

I'm grateful to all the federal workers who kept showing up to work throughout the longest government shutdown in our history. Your dedication to your country does not go unnoticed.

America is facing a homelessness crisis, and instead of helping, the Trump administration is pushing cuts that will kick another 170,000 people out of their homes at the start of the coldest months of the year. The cruelty doesn't end.

Americans are losing faith because of corruption in Washington, especially under the Trump administration. The credibility of our government is being questioned in a way it hasn't been before in our nation's history.

The damage has been done. President Trump made it clear he's willing to weaponize food against his own people, and it's left SNAP recipients without faith in a program they should be able to rely on.

Donald Trump is running his Department of Justice by insisting on the prosecution of people he simply doesn't like. It's wrong, it's un-American, and it has to stop.

My statement on the short-term funding bill:

After 7 weeks, Rep. Adelita Grijalva has finally been sworn in to the House of Representatives. Speaker Johnson's delay, carried out to protect the interests of Donald Trump, has been a disgrace.

Donald Trump and the Republican Party do not care about the interests of the American people. Healthcare premiums are going to skyrocket, and they did nothing to stop it. That's why I'm voting NO on this funding bill.

This bill does not address the long-term needs of our communities as they face unaffordable health insurance premium increases. It leaves critical questions unanswered and fails to achieve the very thing we've been fighting for. I'll be voting NO.

Proud to have supported this project to bring new homeownership opportunities to the Upper Falls Neighborhood. A home is the center of our universe, especially for our children, and this project will create lasting change for families in our community.

Tens of millions of Americans, including military voters and their families, cast their ballots by mail. We know it is safe. As top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I'll continue to fight for fair access to the ballot box for all eligible American voters.

We're in the midst of the most corrupt administration in our nation's history. Families' needs aren't being met, and distrust in our government is at an all-time high. We must refocus our priorities on the people we represent.

Veterans Day is an important opportunity to honor the brave men and women who have worn our nation's uniform. Today and every day, we are grateful for your courage, dedication, and heroic service to our nation.

Families in our community are hurting while Trump uses hunger as a weapon. I won't stop fighting for the assistance our people rely on. I'm grateful for orgs like the Irondequoit Community Cupboard for supporting those in need. I stopped by to hear the challenges they're facing.

This weekend, I joined the Downtown United Presbyterian Church for a conversation about what their congregation is seeing in our community and an update on my work in Washington. Watch a replay of our conversation:

Join me live on Substack at 12:30 PM with End Citizens United to discuss the issue of corruption in our government and my efforts to fight back against it.

Today, we celebrate 250 years of the United States Marine Corps—an institution defined by courage, honor, and unwavering commitment to our nation. To every Marine who has fought to defend our country: thank you for your service and for safeguarding the freedoms we hold dear.

In the 250 years we have had this republic, no president has so blatantly threatened the people they've sworn an oath to protect and defend as Donald Trump has. It's infantile.

Glad to see so many community members come out to honor our veterans at the Monroe County Veterans Day Parade. We can never fully repay the debt of gratitude we owe to our veterans—but we must take every opportunity to honor their service and sacrifice.

Rochester's generosity never ceases to inspire me. Today's community food drive was no exception. The Trump administration wants to divide us choosing who deserves to have food on their table. In our community, we come together in times of crisis so no family is left behind.

Come on down to Innovative Field today for a food donation drive from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.!

Today I was honored to present a flag flown over the U.S. Capitol to Mr. Fred Stenglein—a proud Marine and veteran of WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. His lifetime of service embodies the courage and dedication that sustain our nation. Rochester is proud to call him one of our own.

At every opportunity to negotiate during this shutdown, Trump has chosen to hurt the American people instead.

On this day, in 1916, Ms. Jeannette Rankin became the first woman to be elected to Congress. We remember this historical moment and what it meant for women's rights in our nation as we continue the fight to ensure access to public office and protect free and fair elections.

Losing health insurance doesn't just affect your physical health; it can start a chain reaction that impacts every aspect of your life. We need to protect American healthcare, and we need to do it now.

I consider it one of the great privileges of my life to have served alongside Speaker Nancy Pelosi in Congress. I'm grateful for her extraordinary leadership, devotion to our country, and friendship. Best of luck to her and her family in this next chapter—God bless you, Madam Speaker.

Trump's reckless tariffs hurt our communities and do nothing to lower costs for hardworking families. Proud to have joined an amicus brief in this case arguing the Constitution grants Congress, not the president, the sole authority to impose tariffs.

The one thing Trump really fears is the people's voice—mail-in-voting has been a safe and secure part of our elections since the Civil War. The people of California have spoken, Mr. President. It's time to listen.

Join our community this Saturday, Nov. 8, from 9 a.m.–2 p.m. at Innovative Field for an Emergency Food Network Food Donation Drive! Together, we’re supporting efforts to fight hunger and help families in crisis.

At a time when the American people are looking for real, common-sense solutions to the problems they face, the Trump administration is instead choosing to dismantle an initiative that has successfully lowered crime in cities across the United States, including here in Rochester.

President Trump, it's time to listen to American voters. Bring down costs, protect access to healthcare, and prioritize working families.

Once again, the Trump administration must be forced to do the right thing. Removing sign language interpreters from briefings alienates millions of deaf and hard-of-hearing Americans who have a right to accessible information about their government.

Today, we remember Ms. Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to the House of Representatives in 1968. House Democrats will continue the fight to ensure every eligible voter has access to the ballot box and their voices heard.

Food, a roof over your head, access to healthcare, it's all connected, especially for children in their most critical stages of development. We've got to bring down costs and protect resources that support our communities. Our families are relying on us.

Not only is there already funding available for SNAP, Donald Trump has been ordered by the federal courts to use it. He is choosing, illegally, to force kids to go hungry until he gets his way. He should be ashamed.

Election Day is your chance to make your voice heard and shape your future! If you haven’t cast your ballot already, visit https://monroecounty.gov/elections-sites to find your polling place and get additional voter information.

Talk about misplaced priorities. Rather than negotiate an end to the shutdown and a way to lower healthcare costs, Trump is off traveling the world and working on his new ballroom.

From Brighton to the big stage, what a postseason for Ernie Clement! The Blue Jays came up just a bit short, but Ernie’s record-breaking performance was one for the ages. He’s certainly made our community proud!

We know the Trump administration's actions throughout this shutdown have a very real human impact. How has the government shutdown impacted you and your family? Share your story:

Tomorrow is the last day for early voting in Monroe County! I cast my ballot today, and I hope you’ll join me in making your voice heard in this year’s election.

We're not going to make progress as a country if we accept President Trump's demonizing of people as a belief system. I was raised to follow the simple rule, treat others how you'd like to be treated. We've got to get back to that.

Big win! The courts agree: President Trump, stay in your lane! Congress and the States are in charge of election regulation. We know what this is really about—Trump is afraid of voters so he’ll do anything he can to suppress our voice.

Government shutdowns create uncertainty for families across the country. Stay up to date on how I'm fighting to reopen the government and protect healthcare for millions of Americans:

Wishing everyone a safe and happy Halloween tonight! At a time filled with frustration about the state of the world amidst this government shutdown, it’s important to pause and appreciate the good—whether that’s trick-or-treating, passing out candy, or simply laughing together.

It shouldn’t be a partisan issue to keep families fed. The courts have said it’s legal, now it’s on President Trump to do the right thing.
