Donald Trump is treating 42 million Americans who depend on SNAP for their survival as bargaining chips in a cynical game of political extortion. SNAP is not a ransom note — it is a right. Every American has a legal right to put food on the table and feed their family.

If Timcast “News” undertook the barest amount of journalism, it would know that SNAP is not a discretionary program but an entitlement under federal law.

The greatest innovation of our time is not AI — it’s GLP-1. Obesity is declining. And as obesity declines, so too will diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and the many cancers linked to excess weight. Making Ozempic for All a reality in America would revolutionize public health.

I had the honor of meeting Sharing Excess and their partners at the Hunts Point Produce Market to discuss their creative vision for transforming food waste into food abundance. Sharing Excess has converted tens of millions of pounds of food waste into meals that have fed over 10 million people.

My comment to the New York Times: “The Bronx has fallen victim to Amtrak’s Kafkaesque bureaucracy, which has indefinitely delayed the expansion of Metro North from the Bronx to Penn Station.”

The building collapse at Mitchel Houses was likely caused by a highly flammable fossil-fuel boiler system connected to a chimney. Electrifying heating systems in public housing developments like Mitchel Houses is not only a climate solution. It’s a strategy for fire prevention.

I had the honor of speaking at the 67th Anniversary of the NAACP Williamsbridge Branch in the Northeast Bronx.

I stand with the family of 20-month-old River Wilson, who tragically drowned in a swimming pool at a residential day care. Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death among toddlers.

Donald Trump is not thinking about the 24 million Americans whose health care premiums are about to rise by an average of 114%. He is thinking about George Santos.

Donald Trump governs like a mobster — all but threatening New York families: “Nice food assistance you’ve got there. It would be a shame if something happened to your ability to feed your children.”

The collapse of a building at Mitchel Houses is not an accident. It is the consequence of federal disinvestment from public housing.

I stood with the mother of 20-month-old River Wilson, who tragically drowned in a swimming pool at a residential day care, to demand accountability for River’s death and justice for River’s family.

The cost of health care is crushing working-class and middle-class Americans. Medical bills are the leading cause of bankruptcy in America. Democrats are fighting to lower the cost of health care. Republicans? They’re on vacation.

Donald Trump is Argentina-First.

Free buses are a win for the Bronx.

I stood with the healthcare heroes of 1199, calling on Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans to end the Republican shutdown and end the Republican war on Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act.

Except on January 6, 2021, when 80 Capitol Police officers were assaulted. Except on January 20, 2025, when Donald Trump unconditionally pardoned the assailants who struck Capitol Police officers with dangerous objects — including a fire extinguisher.

I was on the ground at Pelham Parkway Houses, meeting with the tenant leadership and conducting a walkthrough of the development to assess conditions.

I held a rally with residents of Mitchel Houses, calling on HUD to provide emergency funding to restore the partially collapsed building and to re-house displaced families. We cannot separate the collapse of a public housing building from the collapse of federal funding for public housing.

Democrats are fighting to prevent our health care system from falling off a cliff. 4 million Americans are in danger of losing their health care. 24 million Americans are in danger of seeing their health care costs spiral out of control.

My statement on Donald Trump’s politically motivated prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James.

I held a press conference with Public Health Solutions, the largest WIC provider in New York. The time has come for Republicans to reopen the government and fully fund WIC, which serves 40% of America’s infants.

The party that holds power bears responsibility. Republicans control the House, the Senate, and the White House. Republicans alone bear responsibility for the Republican shutdown.

My statement on October 7th:

Donald Trump is governing like a mobster: “Nice Gateway Project you’ve got there, New York. Shame if something happened to it.” Ordering a hit on American infrastructure is not negotiation — it’s extortion. Democrats refuse to be extorted.

For Donald Trump, America First means sending a $20 billion bailout to Argentina.

UPDATE: I have received notice that emergency mobile boilers have been installed at Mitchel Houses in the wake of the chimney collapse and that hot water has been restored. My team and I will continue monitoring the situation on the ground.

I am introducing ‘The Restrict Ugly Money Portraits’ (TRUMP) Act, which would prohibit President Trump from minting money that features his own likeness.

The NYC first responders who responded rapidly to the building collapse in the BX are heavily funded by the federal homeland security grants that Donald Trump tried defunding. Thank you @GovKathyHochul for pressuring Donald Trump to reverse his assault on NYC’s emergency response.

Thank you @GovKathyHochul for pressuring Donald Trump to reverse his disgraceful cuts to New York’s counterterrorism program. NYC faces an average of one terror plot a month. Defunding counterterrorism is not only dangerous but also deadly.

I have been on the ground at Mitchel Houses, meeting with residents and first responders.

I am on the ground outside Mitchel Houses, where part of the building has collapsed from a gas explosion.

I had the high honor of bringing Bronx-based faith leaders to the annual Congressional Black Caucus prayer breakfast and giving them a tour of the US Capitol. The Bronx goes to Washington,

Donald Trump has a long and ugly history of betraying the people of Puerto Rico. Recall the infamous image of Donald Trump tossing rolls of paper towels at Puerto Ricans desperate for food, water, and shelter.

I had the honor of speaking about the power of Latino entrepreneurship at the CHCI Leadership Conference. If the Latino community in the US were its own country, it would have a GDP of over $4 trillion, making it the sixth largest economy in the world.

We all have our red lines. For me, opposition to the Civil Rights Act is a red line.

January 6.

I enjoyed catching up with constituents at the Eastwood Manor in the Northeast Bronx.

It hurts my heart that we have racists like Laura Loomer effectively running the White House.
