I spoke with Jewish Insider's Emily Jacobs about my recent visit to Israel, the need to bring the hostages home, and my commitment to working across the aisle to strengthen the U.S.-Israel relationship. jewishinsider.com/2025/08/laura-…

Long Islanders are facing a cost-of-living crisis. The MTA’s plan to hike prices on the LIRR will only deepen the financial burden on families already facing the MTA’s congestion pricing cash grab. I called on the MTA to reverse this misguided decision that will drain

Heartbroken and furious at the horrific news of today’s shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. My thoughts are with all those impacted by this unthinkable violence. America’s children deserve to feel safe in our classrooms and schools. We need action on

Today’s communication issues at Newark — the third outage this year — show how dangerously misguided the direction to move N90 controllers from Long Island to Philadelphia was. I have been sounding the alarm in Congress and with the Administration. These outages are unacceptable

It was great to host congressional staffers last week to show how SBU is pushing boundaries in quantum science, AI, healthcare and more. Their support helps power research that strengthens Long Island, drives national innovation, and expands opportunity for the next generation.

This week’s horrific tragedy in Minnesota is an awful reminder of the increasing threats houses of worship face throughout the country. We must do more to protect religious institutions. I urge houses of worship across Nassau County to apply for the Nonprofit Security Grant

Long Island is already facing a cost-of-living crisis. The Administration’s tariffs have caused chaos and economic pain and uncertainty. Congress must reassert its authority over trade policy. cnn.com/2025/08/29/bus…

Putting children’s lives at risk by cutting federal funding for pediatric cancer research is shameful. This groundbreaking research could save lives and offer hope to families facing the unthinkable. nytimes.com/2025/08/28/wel…

Flooding continues to be a serious threat to many Long Islanders. Yesterday, I led the charge to prioritize FEMA investments in the major roads, bridges and evacuation routes to keep our communities safe.

I signed the petition to release the Epstein files and hold human traffickers accountable. No more cover-ups. Americans deserve transparency.

I’ve heard from Haitian Americans on Long Island who want safety, security and stability for their loved ones in Haiti. This bill takes important steps to hold gangs and corrupt officials in Haiti accountable for the unrest and horrific gang violence devastating the country.

42% of local roads on Long Island are below standard, yet with the high taxes we pay, our communities deserve their fair share of state and federal aid. That’s why I’m working to secure the funding needed to repair potholes, upgrade infrastructure and ensure drivers and

Today’s ruling to preserve TPS for more than 300,000 Haitians was the right decision. I’ll continue to fight to protect TPS for our Haitian neighbors across Nassau County who came to the United States legally after undergoing rigorous vetting and a background check by the
