Now is not the time for uncertainty. From murdering Renee Good to assaulting innocent citizens and bystanders, ICE has become a weapon. There will be accountability, and that starts with dismantling ICE.

Happy New Year! I look forward to continuing our work to uplift families and build a stronger, more equitable future for our community. May this new year bring you peace, resilience, and renewed purpose.

As we close out the year, I want to thank you for your continued trust and partnership. Our work together has strengthened our district and prepared us for the opportunities ahead. Wishing you a safe and hopeful New Year’s Eve.

In 2025, I was proud to secure federal funding for our district, investing directly in our communities, creating opportunities, and strengthening the services families rely on daily. Here’s a look at the year in numbers, delivering results for all who call NY-13 home.

Happy Kwanzaa to all New Yorkers! May this celebration of culture, community, and heritage inspire unity, purpose, and joy in your life. As we honor the principles of Kwanzaa, let us reflect on the strength of family, community, and shared values that guide us forward.

Merry Christmas, New York’s 13th Congressional District! May the blessings and spirit of the season bring you comfort and joy.

Tonight, as families across our community gather, I want to wish everyone a warm and peaceful Christmas Eve. This season reminds us of the strength we find in unity and generosity. May your evening be filled with hope and comfort.

🧵 As this year comes to an end, here's a snapshot of my 2025 legislative highlights and constituent services.

Today marks the U.S. Space Force’s sixth anniversary. To all Guardians, thank you for service for a safer, stronger future for our country.

🚨BREAKING: Members of the @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social prevailed in court with a federal judge upholding the law, ruling that Congress can conduct oversight of ICE detention facilities. This is a victory for the rule of law.

Today we celebrate the Bill of Rights, which guarantees many of our rights as Americans. Now more than ever, we must uphold our shared values and work together to protect the rights and freedoms that define our democracy.

Tonight marks the first night of Hanukkah. May these next eight nights be filled with peace, light, and joy. Chag Sameach!

It's past time to release the Epstein files in full. No more delays! The American people deserve the truth about Epstein's ties to the powerful people who control Washington.

This weekend is going to be cold, New Yorkers! Make sure your heaters and hot water are working fine, and call 311 to report any issues. And don't forget to check on the seniors in your life, too! For more info: nyc.gov/heatseason

Our communities have been pushed, targeted, and underestimated. And still, we rise. Today we made it clear: Latino families will not face these threats alone. California and the CHC are locking arms and fighting forward together.

(1/2) I am closely monitoring the fire on the Upper West Side that injured several residents and emergency personnel. I am grateful for the bravery and rapid response of the firefighters and emergency personnel who worked tirelessly to contain the blaze and evacuate the building.

Immigrant communities across the nation are in fear simply because they are targeted for who they are; we won’t back down from protecting those who dared to pursue the American Dream. Thanks for taking the time today, Governor.

Just met with @repespaillat.bsky.social and @padilla.senate.gov. Trump's reckless immigration agenda is harming communities, our economy, LA's recovery, and public safety. California has the @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social's back seeking federal action to protect families, workers, and due process.

Because of Trump’s bullying, nearly 3 million New Yorker families, regardless of political position, are at risk of losing food stamps. As millions of families across the nation face a food crisis Trump continues to push his senseless immigration agenda. apnews.com/article/food...

🚨 Applications are now open! This is an incredible opportunity for students in my district who have expressed an interest in joining our nation’s Armed Forces, and I have been proud nominate several high school seniors to receive appointments to attend our U.S. Service Academies.

Wishing everyone a happy and joyful Thanksgiving with friends, family and loved ones.

Trump weaponized the justice system to target his political opponents. The American people can see through this shame and these baseless claims against Attorney General James have been dismissed.

You’re not wrong: Thanksgiving is more expensive this year. Donald Trump and Republicans have abandoned the work to make life affordable for Americans.

Ensuring the privacy of vulnerable individuals and families seeking assistance from any government agency remains at the forefront of public service. Our neighbors need us, and we should be there for them.

“We are here to build, not tear down, our shared future. Muchas gracias.” - Congresswoman Grijalva, AZ-07 💪

This “deal” that came from the Senate is an absolute sham. My vote is “Hell No.”

JUST IN: Nearly 2 months after her election, Adelita Grijalva still hasn’t been seated. Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social again calls on Speaker Johnson to act immediately, sending a letter earlier this morning demanding her swearing-in.

Out now, "Tu Caucus" Season 2 Episode 1: Adelita With @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social and @repespaillat.bsky.social youtu.be/JM-0ReU_uwU?...

My statement on the Retirement of Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi

In yesterday’s elections, the American people made clear that they are sick of the Republican agenda that is keeping the government shut down and jacking up costs for health care and everything else.

This is urban warfare. I spoke with MSNBC’s @theweekendprime.bsky.social about the Trump administration’s ongoing assault on American cities, including the latest in NYC. See the full segment here:

This morning, members of the @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social and @democrats-judiciary.house.gov are holding a field hearing in Chicago to shine a light on Trump's assault on this great American city. We are keeping tabs and we will have accountability. Watch here:

Speaker Johnson, what happened? 2024: No more CRs 2025: The Democrats have no choice but to vote for the CR we made

(1/2) It’s unconscionable that Donald Trump is focused on tearing down the White House as health care tax credits will expire for 22 million Americans, bailing out Argentina for $40 billion while farmers in America face bankruptcy,

Wishing all New Yorkers a joyous Diwali. May your holiday be filled with joy and light!

Same message, different day. Americans know Republicans are responsible for the shutdown. Break the cycle, bring the House back, and negotiate a way to open the government without ripping affordable healthcare away from millions of American families.

My statement on the Trump administration’s indictment of New York Attorney General Letitia James

A federal judge confirmed what we already knew: ICE’s warrantless arrests in Chicago broke the law. The @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social is keeping watch and demanding accountability.

Thank you Governor Hochul for recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month and the impact of Latino communities to our state. I look forward to continuing our fight to ensure protections and opportunities for all who call New York home.

Democrats are holding the line. We remain willing to meet anywhere and anytime to negotiate a bipartisan government funding agreement that meets the needs of the American people and addresses the health care crisis. Until then, Republicans own every day of this shutdown.

This is the GOP plan: kick Americans off of their healthcare plans, raise premiums, and threaten public servants for being public servants. Healthcare and mortgages don’t care about government shutdowns, and apparently neither do House Republicans (otherwise they’d be in DC).

Two weeks too long. Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social has called on Speaker Johnson to do his job — seat Rep.-elect Grijalva. Act now.

How much do you want to bet they’re pushing it off because she’ll be the 218th signature on the Epstein files discharge petition?

The Trump administration is making the most brazen attack on working-class New Yorkers and neighbors in Harlem by targeting the Second Avenue Subway funding. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/01/n...

The White House’s decision to threaten the Gateway Project and Second Avenue Subway, our nation’s most critical infrastructure projects, is another exhibit of the reckless partisanship and bad governance that triggered this Republican government shutdown. espaillat.house.gov/media/press-...

Despite the shutdown, my staff and I will continue working on your behalf and will remain available to assist you as usual–although we may not be able to get answers from federal agencies that are experiencing closures or staff furloughs.

Families across my district will be adversely affected by the existing Republican plan for funding the government. I have and am prepared to continue to vote “no” on any legislation that fails to restore the funding for healthcare coverage in my district.

With just a day left before the government funding deadline, Democrats are ready, willing, and able to reach a bipartisan agreement to keep the government open while lowering health care costs for everyday Americans, including the nearly 12,000 constituents in my district.
