The House Republican budget is a direct attack on Puerto Rican students. They’re slashing Pell Grants, gutting work-study, killing subsidized loans, and pushing low-income borrowers into 30-year debt traps, all while restarting brutal collections. This is a war on education and

Today, the GOP, including every NY Republican, voted to make America sicker, hungrier, & poorer — just to give billionaires more tax breaks.   I refuse to stay silent while they gut Medicaid, shut down hospitals, & take food off families’ tables. We won’t forget this betrayal.

When EPA workers raise the alarm about cuts that endanger our communities, they deserve protection not punishment. Putting 139 public servants on leave for speaking out is retaliation, plain and simple. We can’t build climate justice by silencing the very people fighting for

The Trump admin is illegally withholding over $400M owed to NY public schools, hurting teachers and the students who need our support the most.   Alongside Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, I led 19 NY Democrats in demanding the immediate release of these funds. Our kids can’t

.Rep. Nydia Velazquez Adriano Espaillat seeking to make an unannounced visit to the 10th floor of 26 Fed, where they say migrants are being detained in unsafe conditions. They and other House members denied entry in past. DHS rejected reports of poor treatment here.

Today, Adriano Espaillat and I were denied our right to congressional oversight at 26 Federal Plaza.   They are detaining immigrant New Yorkers in reportedly horrific conditions and dare to deny they are a detention facility.   Homeland Security stop with the semantics and follow the law.

Thunderstorms are producing heavy rain. Flash flooding is already happening or expected to begin shortly. Flooding can be deadly and often strikes with little or no warning. Streets, basements, and below-grade spaces can fill with water in minutes.

The Supreme Court just cleared the way for Trump to gut the Department of Education. This is a direct attack on public education and the families who rely on it. While billionaires get more tax breaks, our kids get less.

Sayfollah "Saif" Musallet was a 20-year-old American visiting family in the West Bank for the summer. He was beaten to death by Israeli settlers. The U.S. must immediately launch a full, independent investigation and demand accountability for his death.
