Serving 75 million people each year, @newyorkbloodcenter volunteers and leaders play a vital role in ensuring there is a blood supply for those in need. I was honored to recognize these individuals for their service to NYBC and their commitment to bringing communities together to help save lives.

Back home doing what I love - listening to seniors discuss what matters most to them and how we can make sure our government is delivering for older Americans.

The content of these games, which belittles crises currently facing Americans across the country, has no place on an official government platform, and the website must be removed immediately.

I sent a letter to the White House calling for the immediate removal of Arcade.gov, which gamifies mass deportations, MAHA regulations, and border detentions.

It was a productive meeting capped off with receiving a display of commemorative 250th anniversary stamps to represent the celebrations of our country’s independence as we remain a partner in Kosovo’s fight for their own.

From scenic state park preserves to neighborhood green spaces, New York State is home to over 5 million acres of public lands. On National Public Lands Day, I encourage everyone to get outside and explore the incredible state parks, historic sites, and trails available in your communities!

Freedom of the press prevailed in court today. This is a major victory for the First Amendment and every American demanding accountability from the White House. Delivered by a Trump-appointed judge, this decision proves that despite attempts to bypass the Constitution, no one is above the law.

In my remarks, I highlighted the strategic and economic role Cyprus plays in the future of the Mediterranean and the Middle East, as well as the importance of protecting the ethnic Greek community’s right to embrace their religion and culture freely and fairly.

That's why I introduced the Incentivizing Small Business Employee Retention Act of 2026, so our small businesses can receive additional tax incentives to hire and retain these valuable employees. I look forward to continue supporting small businesses who are investing in their communities.

Today we celebrate the contributions of the labor movement to our nation, particularly the vast workplace protections and infrastructure we enjoy every day. As Labor Day also marks the unofficial end of the summer, I wish everyone a great start to the school year!

Disaster relief should never be political. As a government agency, FEMA should be aiding all Americans during a disaster, not just those that agree with their political leaning. This partisan roadblock impacts not just New Yorkers, but every American relying on federal support in a crisis.

This week on the House Floor, I called attention to the urgent need to address the long-term outcome for Social Security benefits. I implore all my Congressional colleagues to fix the funding gap before hard-earned benefits disappear due to lack of funding.

I look forward to voting on this bill when it reaches the floor and doing whatever is necessary to serve justice to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and support the rule of law.

I signed the discharge petition to force a vote on a bill to authorize state attorneys general, victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirators, and members of Congress to challenge the DOJ in court for its failure to comply with the disclosure requirements of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Today we lost a fearless fighter for equality, Gloria Steinem. She worked tirelessly to advance women’s rights by advocating for the Equal Rights Amendment, which would guarantee the rights of all Americans, regardless of sex.

Dolly Parton was a trailblazer whose legacy extends far beyond her music. She placed millions of books into the hands of children worldwide through her philanthropy, the Imagination Library. We join her family, friends, and millions of fans across the world in mourning the loss of a true icon.

Our country's relationship with Canada is built on centuries of mutual trust and economic collaboration. It is not leverage for reckless trade tactics. This senseless move does nothing to lower costs and merely shifts new financial burdens onto consumers already struggling to cover basic goods.

Trump's D.C. projects are the epitome of the "waste, fraud, and abuse" my Republican colleagues claim to be fighting. It is well past time to shift the focus from costly vanity projects to the pressing issues facing households across the country.

During a congressional oversight visit to Delaney Hall in Newark, New Jersey, @ritchietorres and I witnessed conditions that were clearly inhumane. We are continuing to press for transparency, reform, and decisive action until these facilities are shut down.
