Proud grandfather, Democrat, and Congressman representing NY25. Ranking Member Committee on House Administration, Vice Ranking Member House Appropriations Committee. Black belt. Go Cardinals.
This is a soulless statement and a disgrace to the office.

As top Democrat on the Committee on House Administration, I'm working to ensure the safety of members of Congress so they can carry out their responsibilities, because when political violence interferes with their work, the American people pay the price.

On this day in 1791, the Bill of Rights was ratified—enshrining the fundamental freedoms that define our democracy.

Today, protecting those rights and upholding the values of freedom, equality, and justice are more important than ever.

My heart is with Australia’s Jewish community as they grieve this weekend’s devastating attack. We mourn with you and stand united against antisemitism.

Families are being forced to choose between essential healthcare and putting food on the table.

We've got to bring down the cost of the healthcare delivery.

I am devastated by the shooting at Brown University.

My prayers are with the students, faculty, staff, and families affected by this senseless violence. I’m grateful to the first responders who acted swiftly in the face of such tragedy.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social have been saying this since October, we cannot wait to address the healthcare crisis.

Families who go to work every day are facing health insurance premium increases that will price them out of care. That's unacceptable.

President Trump cares more about HIS image than the Deaf Americans he serves.

This alienates millions of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Americans who have a right to accessible information about their government.

American elections are secure.

The Trump Administration has taken unprecedented steps to collect scores of voter data from states across the country with no rational explanation or justification.

Proud to help move this project forward.
Internet access is not a luxury anymore. It is a basic necessity.

President Trump doesn't understand the affordability crisis because he's never had to worry about it.

Instead, he's making millions off an elected office that's meant to serve the American people.
At the first stop on his affordability tour, Trump mocks affordability
What was supposed to be a speaking tour to connect with Americans struggling with higher prices and stagnant wages was instead a greatest hits campaign speech.

Adding barriers to voter registration doesn't make our elections any safer; it just stops Americans from exercising their fundamental right to vote.

Trump is still failing to achieve the promise he made on day one: to bring down prices for hardworking families.

Great to be with Berkeley's MBA for Executives Program today for a conversation on the relationship between business and government.

These mid-career MBA students represent a wide array of sectors. I'm grateful for the opportunity to hear their thoughts and questions.

Adding new barriers to voter registration is just the latest tactic in the Trump administration's efforts to cheat Americans of their right to vote.

We may be out of the government shutdown, but Republicans in Congress are still refusing to make progress.

House Democrats keep showing up, ready to work for the families we represent.

Rural families and small businesses deserve the high-speed internet access modern life requires.

Today, I was proud to join County Executive Bello, Spectrum, our government partners, and local businesses to announce a new investment to help expand connectivity for our rural neighbors.

Hardworking families are paying the price of corruption in our government and the cost is too high.

Leader Jeffries said it on Pod Save America, it's time to make DC work for Americans, not the other way around.

Today I joined staff and students at Vertus High School for a tour of their school and to discuss the work they're doing to prepare the next generation for success.

Education gives young people in our community the opportunity to thrive, and I'm proud to support their work.

In a matter of days, millions of Americans will face increased health insurance premiums that could price them out of coverage.

Republicans don't seem to be concerned about this, but it should be our top priority.
