Our planet is dying. Earth Day should be every day, and each one of us has the responsibility to do our part to protect the planet. We can’t control what others do, but we can control what we do.

Members of the @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social are standing up to ICE in the courtroom, on the House floor, and in the streets. We know better than anyone: this rogue agency must be dismantled.

🔥🔥🔥 @menendez.house.gov

Student-led activism. That’s how PS 171 received $500,000 in community project funds, and I was proud to join them in celebrating their accomplishments.

⏰ TODAY IS TAX DAY If you haven’t filed yet, you still have time. File for free at irs.gov/freefile and don’t forget: you can request a 6-month extension if you need more time. Don’t wait until midnight. File today.

On Yom HaShoah, we honor the memories of the six million innocent Jewish people murdered during the Holocaust at the hands of the evil Nazi regime. May their memories always be a blessing.

Black Maternal Health Week calls on all of us to confront inequities in maternal care and end our nation’s maternal health crisis. House Democrats are working to pass the #Momnibus, end this crisis, and improve outcomes for Black moms across the nation.

Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social’s demand is clear: End Child Detention. chc.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

From my family to yours, Happy Easter! We wish everyone celebrating a joyful day filled with hope, renewal, and time spent with loved ones.

Happy Good Friday to those who celebrate across NY-13! May this time of reflection bring you peace and hope.

Wishing everyone in NY-13 a joyful and meaningful Passover filled with family, reflection, and celebration. May the holiday bring peace and prosperity, keeping the spirit of the Seder alive throughout the year.

As we continue to celebrate Women’s History Month, I am proud to recognize Iris Baltazar as a pillar of our community for her ongoing efforts advocating and uplifting families today and inspiring future generations.

Four years ago, President Biden signed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act into law. This was the first time that the federal government labeled lynching as a federal hate crime. As President Biden said at the signing, "Racial hate isn’t an old problem. It’s a persistent problem."

Wishing a blessed Palm Sunday to all those who celebrate across New York's 13th district! May this be a time of reflection, peace, and blessings.

I am proud to deliver over $3 million for CUNY's Dominican Studies Institute. The investment will enable the CUNY DSI to expand its research capacity, host community-based events, enhance its archival resources, and so much more.

I'm proud to recognize the life of Sergeant Jesus Pedrosa, Sr. for his honorable military service to our great nation during World War II. May his legacy continue to inspire each of us.

They call them the “SWAT team” for their dedicated advocacy for families across Northern Manhattan. This Women’s History Month, I’m proud to recognize Micaela Lugo, Brunilda Rodríguez, Noris Casillas, Rosario Capellán, and Elizabeth Batista for their tireless efforts to support our communities.

Instead of funding TSA or delivering on widely supported reforms, this administration is deploying ICE agents to airports. Another example of misplaced priorities—doubling down on chaos instead of governing. Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social’s statement here 👇🏽 chc.house.gov/media-center...

On this day in 1965, brave Americans began the march from Selma to Montgomery, risking everything for the right to vote. Their courage helped secure the Voting Rights Act and changed our nation forever. We honor their sacrifice and continue the fight for equal access to the ballot.

If only Republicans cared about funding healthcare more than new forever wars.

This is exactly why Congress needs to pass the bipartisan Government Surveillance Reform Act that @wyden.senate.gov and I introduced last week. We must close the data broker loophole and prevent this invasion of Americans’ privacy.

The FBI is buying your location data. Read that again.

Thank you @repespaillat.bsky.social for highlighting that it’s possible that over 170+ DACA recipients were deported, “[DHS] provided conflicting numbers to the House and the Senate..we are concerned about the numbers… it could be even higher than that.”

The FBI is buying your location data. Read that again.

The CHC upholds its principles to hold abusers accountable following César Chávez revelations. Read our full statement here:

Instead of disenfranchising voters, starting illegal wars, and hiding Epstein files, the Trump Administration should maybe focus a little more on the failing K-shaped economy.

FIRE NOEM

The ███████ Administration

Chair @repespaillat.bsky.social asked to join the Judiciary hearing with DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. Republican Judiciary Chair Jordan didn’t even respond. When immigrant families face life-altering decisions, silence isn’t oversight.

Asking for the ≈15 million Americans Republicans kicked off of health insurance last year.

(1/2) House Republicans are using Trump’s war with Iran to force Congress to fund ICE and CBP without substantial reforms despite harassing, detaining, beating, and killing American citizens.

Article 1, Sec. 8, Cl. 11

Proud to have secured nearly $1 million in FY26 federal funding to revitalize Lehman College’s athletics field. This investment will expand seating, improve accessibility, and create a welcoming space for students, families, and neighbors to gather, compete, and celebrate.

Lehman College is pleased to announce a generous $820,000 allocation from Congressman @repespaillat.bsky.social, which will support new bleachers for South Field. lehman.edu/news/2026/Es...

Praying for the families impacted by this morning’s tragedy in Austin. We are grateful for the swift actions of local law enforcement and embrace the Austin community at this time. apnews.com/article/aust...

(1/4) New Yorkers are feeling the squeeze from skyrocketing energy bills, which can be attributed to corporate greed, data centers, AI, and Trump’s insane policies on tariffs and renewable energy projects.

Donald Trump and congressional Republicans promised to lower the high cost of living on Day One. They failed. Instead, life is more expensive than ever, worsened by Trump’s tariffs that have cost families $1,700 more per year on everything from groceries to transportation and more.

Fernando's message is simple and as American as it can get. In his words: "I need my family to come home: save my sister’s life, end this nightmare for me and for all the other families like mine, who just want to live an honest life and work hard for a better future."

A 10-year-old U.S. citizen was deported while fighting rare brain cancer. Her brother, Fernando, carries the fight forward. He’s Chairman @repespaillat.bsky.social’s State of the Union guest.

Tonight's State of the Union will be more of the same: -Deny the truth -Dismiss the concerns -Deceive the American People This is the Trump playbook.

No more hiding. No more fear. ICE agents must show their faces.

Leadership matters — Abuse without accountability is unacceptable. Fire Noem, now.

On Feb. 12, the Democratic House Steering and Policy Committee held a hearing to hold ICE accountable for its brutality. Community leaders and advocates joined members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus to bear witness and uplift Latino voices at the hearing.

🧵1/2 : Yesterday, VA quietly issued an interim final rule that immediately changes how veterans’ disability ratings are evaluated: no notice, no explanation, no debate. Trump's VA Secretary Collins did not consult VSOs or Congress before acting.

After pressure from state leaders and a federal court order, the Trump Administration has released the final $127 million in overdue Gateway Tunnel funding, and construction will resume soon. This is a major win for hardworking union members, commuters, and our entire region’s economy.

DHS is using administrative subpoenas to obtain thousands of YOUR records from major companies. These subpoenas are signed by DHS staff—not a judge—and are being used to target immigrants, advocates, and journalists.

Ramadan Mubarak! Wishing all who are celebrating in New York's 13th district and around the world a peaceful and reflective holy month.
