I condemn Donald Trump's unauthorized military strikes and regime change in Venezuela.

The Trump administration launched a large scale military attack on a sovereign nation and kidnapped its sitting president, without Congressional approval and without consideration of any of the consequences their illegal actions may bring.

Today, New York City takes its bold first step into a New Era, guided by the moral leadership of Mayor Mamdani and built upon the promise of a better future for all five boroughs.

Happy New Year, New Yorkers! While we know that 2025 was not without its difficulties for many of our neighbors, and while we expect 2026 to carry its share of hardships, I am certain the better year our communities deserve is waiting just over the horizon. But we must be willing to fight for it.

From my family to yours, wishing you a most happy Christmas! I pray you and your loved ones know only peace, prosperity, and good tidings in this holiday season.

No human being deserves to suffer the despicable, heart-wrenching conditions we witnessed behind the veil of Donald Trump’s deportation machine. Unlike our migrant neighbors, Delaney Hall and the rest of ICE’s for-profit detention centers will never have a place in this country. Shut them down.

Today, @replamonica.bsky.social, @menendez.house.gov, and I toured the Delaney Hall detention facility following the death of Haitian migrant Jean Wilson Brutus while in ICE custody, amid mounting reports of inhumane conditions and systemic abuse.

For those surprised by this disturbing news, remember that criminality just comes naturally to this administration. They break the law like the rest of us breathe and are always eager for another chance to act like crooks.

More than 20 million Americans are staring down the barrel of skyrocketing healthcare costs in the new year. Instead of holding a vote to extend the ACA tax credits and stop this crisis in its tracks, Speaker Johnson chose to shut Congress down early and go home. How cruel is that?

While the tragedy at Bondi Beach weighs heavily on our minds and hearts, I pray our Jewish neighbors know only a happy and peaceful first night of Hanukkah. May this Festival of Lights bring them joy at a time when it is most needed.

Jewish families deserve to feel safe and be safe in every corner of our world. My heart goes out to the victims of the devastating terrorist attack in Sydney, and the entire Jewish community in this moment of terrible grief. Antisemitism and hate are evils upon our world — they must be defeated.

My prayers are with the Brown University community, tonight. Americans should not have to accept this horrible, heartbreaking violence as an inevitability in their nation. Gun violence exists only because those in power allow it to. When will they wake up and end the tragedies?

If Congress’ goal is truly to protect kids online, the best way to do so is through a federal data-privacy standard that prioritizes their safety today and can adapt to the technologies of tomorrow. This version of KOSA doesn't come close to meeting the mark.

Heads up, Brooklynites! The deadline to apply for an internship in my District Office is a week away – make sure to get your application in by December 15th to be considered for these truly transformative positions. Team Clarke looks forward to hearing from you!

On Trump’s orders, DHS has condemned countless of our migrant neighbors to horrific detention centers where they've suffered abuse, faced vile conditions, and even lost their lives. I joined @jayapal.house.gov's shadow hearing yesterday, because these atrocities cannot remain hidden in the dark.

No matter how many masked thugs Donald Trump sics on our immigrant neighbors or how desperately he tries to dehumanize their families, New York City and communities like it are going to stay sanctuaries to the oppressed and the powerless.

Our Somali-American neighbors have only ever made this nation stronger, more decent, and more whole. They will always have a home in our communities and our country. I don’t care if Trump or any other bitter old bigot says differently – they’re all wrong, and so is the disgusting hate they preach.

Until Congress addresses the dire threat of algorithmic bias, Americans will continue to rely on their states to protect them from the many potential harms of unregulated AI and its unrestrained Big Tech masters.

Our committee has had at least 5 hearings over 5 years on the many threats to kids online. How long do we have to keep restating the obvious? It’s past time to stop talking and start acting.

THE Dr. Una S.T. Clarke is many things to many people: a trailblazer, a bold visionary, a true servant of the people – the list goes on. She’s all that to me, as well. But most importantly, she’s also my mom. Please join me in wishing her a very happy 91st birthday! I love you, mom! Happy birthday!

It was on this day 70 years ago that Rosa Parks’ courageous and historic refusal to surrender her seat on a segregated city bus paved the way to the Montgomery Bus Boycott, redirecting the course of our nation and establishing her as one of our nation’s most transformative heroes.

My heart breaks for the two national guardsmen who were wounded in our nation’s capital, today. As we continue to receive updates on this terrible tragedy, please join me in praying for them and their loved ones in the aftermath of this senseless, horrific act of violence.

NEWS: The Trump Admin is trying to turn the BEAD Program — meant to bring fast, affordable internet service to every American — into a slush fund for satellite companies like SpaceX. We’re demanding accountability.

For more than 104 years, Viola Fletcher lived without ever receiving justice for the crimes committed against her and her community during the Tulsa Race Massacre. May the shame of that failure forever stain our nation. And may Mrs. Fletcher rest in eternal power and paradise.

For decades, my hometown of Brooklyn has remained an iconic travel destination, with internationally recognized landmarks and imagery that evokes the music, culture, and art only found in our borough. Our economic health depends truly upon the strength of our tourism industry.

For four decades in elected office, my dear friend Congresswoman @velazquez.house.gov exemplified what it means to be a public servant. Our city and nation owe so very much to her – as do I.

Spare me this line of bullshit. The ONLY reason Speaker Johnson is defending death threats from the President of the United States is because he’s terrified of ending up on the wrong side of them. Sooner or later, Donald Trump will come for us all, Mike.  Save your dignity and get it over with.

It’s painfully clear that Trump resurrected the failed AI moratorium as a gift to his billionaire donors whose profits depend on their unfinished technology remaining unregulated.

I stand with @repstaceyplaskett.bsky.social.

I voted to release the Epstein Files, today.

Once again, Trump is threatening to have his FCC attack dog collectively punish an entire network because one of its reporters asked him a tough question. The Epstein Coverup clearly matters far more to him than the 1st Amendment ever could. And it's not hard to figure out why.

Ruby Bridges' courageous act was not so long ago… No matter how desperately some might try to erase our history, segregation remains a crime within living memory. Hiding that truth is a service to hatred and the hateful.

My statement on my vote against the Republicans’ dirty CR.

50 days after her election, and at long last, I can proudly call the now-Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva a colleague. She has my congratulations, as well as my admiration for her poise and professionalism throughout this embarrassing chapter in Speaker Johnson’s House.

A promise is only as good as the people who give it.   So how much is a promise from the party that sued to rip food from the mouths of starving Americans and shut down the government because they wanted healthcare to be even more unaffordable really worth?   Nothing at all.

Thank you to America’s veterans who served their nation at home and abroad! For always keeping us safe, you will always have my gratitude. Wishing you and your families the Happy Veterans Day you deserve!

Starting today, 40 American airports are reducing their traffic due to the Republican Shutdown. That means longer lines, delays, and cancellations across the country, including at JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, and other airports that countless New Yorkers travel through every single day.

No, you didn’t read this headline wrong. Donald Trump and Republicans are so desperate to keep using hunger as a political weapon, they’re begging the courts to not stop them from starving 42 million Americans.

For four decades, Nancy Pelosi devoted herself entirely to progressing this nation on behalf of the American people and her beloved city of San Francisco.

Bigotry has absolutely no place in Brooklyn, or anywhere else in our country. I condemn this antisemitic act in the strongest possible terms and urge that all those who defaced one of our beloved yeshivas with this disgusting graffiti be held accountable for their actions.

In the wake of Hurricane Melissa’s impact leaving Jamaican infrastructure in ruins, communities reeling, and tens of thousands displaced, it would be unsafe and inhumane to expel Jamaican nationals from the US back to their home while recovery efforts are still ongoing.

How is this administration "complying with the court's order" to continue funding SNAP when Donald Trump himself says no one gets their payments until he gets what he wants? 42 million Americans deserve a straight answer on whether or not their president plans to illegally starve them.

This is great news. Now let's hope and pray Donald Trump makes the moral, lawful decision to release these funds and ensure 42 million Americans do not go hungry come tomorrow.

“Kill first, ask questions never” is not an acceptable policy position, nor are this administration's extrajudicial military strikes even remotely effective at curbing America’s dire drug and opioid crisis.

Human beings cannot be illegal.

In just over a day, 42 million Americans will lose their SNAP benefits. That won’t be due to the shutdown, or any made-up law. No, millions are going to go hungry only because Trump and his GOP lackeys want them to. Because they believe that every starving child gives them more political leverage.

Superstorm Sandy was an unimaginable nightmare when it first struck the northeast 13 years ago. But today, extreme weather events have only grown more devastating, more frequent, and tragically, more normal. It doesn’t have to be that way.

Election Day is exactly a week away, New Yorkers! Make sure you plan your path to the polls on November 4th, or cast your ballot as soon as today with early voting. Find your polling place here: findmypollsite.vote.nyc

Duty and decency brought @replamonica.bsky.social to the Delaney Hall ICE detention facility. I was proud to give her my support at her hearing this week, and she will continue to have it until and beyond she is acquitted of these ridiculous charges against her.
