I'm proud to stand in solidarity with Amazon Teamsters rallying in Woodside today! I wish I could be there, but I'm in DC this week voting and continuing the fight to save health care. (1/2)

I held a hearing at Queens College on federal funding for STEM programs in New York—& how the Administration’s cuts are hurting Queens.

STEM programs educate the next generation and drive progress in health care, technology, & scientific research. These cuts threaten the innovations we depend on.

I wrote to Sec. Noem in March urging DHS to fund food pantries in my district.

She finally responded...on 9/11. Secretary Noem, federal programs supporting food pantries are not "waste, fraud, & abuse."

The disregard for New Yorkers & families struggling with rising grocery costs is unbelievable.

I signed a discharge petition to force a vote on the Protecting America’s Workforce Act — legislation that overturns the President’s Executive Order gutting collective bargaining rights for 67% of federal workers. (1/2)

In this A+++++ economy???
Results from our new poll paint a grim picture of a nation under financial strain.

Nearly half of Americans said they find groceries, utility bills, health care, housing and transportation difficult to afford, according to The POLITICO Poll.

Rising costs are crushing Americans — and they're running out of room to adjust.

The world’s richest man cut aid to the world’s poorest people.

Now, 12 million more children under 5 could die because of it.

Pulling the rug out from millions of people, especially women and children, only endangers America’s long-term safety, strength, and prosperity.
Child deaths under 5 believed to be rising for first time in decades
Cuts to development aid from several countries are a key factor, researchers say.

Proud to deliver $850k in federal funding for Selfhelp Community Services' Martin Lande House!

Making sure Queens seniors have the resources they need is one of my top priorities. These federal dollars will support the great work SelfHelp is doing to provide safe, comfortable spaces for seniors.

I'm headed back to Washington, DC today! Before my flight, I joined the groundbreaking for the new Queens Public Library in Rego Park and stopped by our veterans mobile office hours event in Woodside — where my office is helping them access the VA benefits they’ve earned.

✈️Next stop: Capitol Hill!

Today, on Pearl Harbor Day we honor the memory of soldiers, sailors, and civilians who died on December 7, 1941. Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion to our nation will never be forgotten.

Small businesses lost more than 120k jobs in November.

These numbers are devastating to communities like Queens.

The President’s reckless tariffs are driving up costs, forcing layoffs, and threatening the dream of building something from the ground up. Americans deserve better.

If you are born in America, you are an American. Full stop.

The President's crusade against birthright citizenship is unconstitutional and un-American.

Our democracy depends on protecting it.

Nursing is a profession.

U.S. Department of Education's decision to no longer recognize it as a professional degree will prevent students from pursuing this vital, life-saving career. We're already experiencing shortages throughout our health care system. The Administration must reverse course.

Detaining and deporting young children does nothing to improve public safety. Ripping them away from their parents won't make our streets any safer either. The Administration claimed it would focus on dangerous criminals — why are they targeting kids and parents?
