The Trump Administration, hellbent on ending TPS for Haitians, will be remembered for their cruelty and attacks against Haitians living lawfully in the United States. They must reverse course now.

Legal status of 350,000 Haitian migrants to expire in early February, U.S. officials announce
The expiration of TPS policy for Haitian immigrants would make them eligible for deportation, unless they have other legal means to stay in the U.S.

The judge’s dismissal of Trump’s sham indictment against AG Letitia James was the right decision. Trump’s attempt to twist the justice system against someone who holds him accountable failed. AG James always led with integrity and upheld the law.

Trump and Republicans have tried to hide the Epstein files. Today, we finally vote to release the files and deliver truth to the American people. www.npr.org/2025/11/18/n...
After months of infighting, House GOP could vote today to release the Epstein files
President Trump has pushed back against releasing the files, but shifted course over the weekend after it became clear the measure was likely to pass the House.

House Democrats stood firm to protect America’s health care and lower health care costs for the American people. We are not giving up the fight to lower costs and make life more affordable for working families.

The Republican spending bill would deepen the health care crisis they started instead of solving it. Health care tax credits keep coverage affordable for millions of hardworking people. House Democrats are standing firm against this bill to protect them.

I had a wonderful time at the Veterans Appreciation Day Dinner at Rochdale Village Community Center, honoring the brave service members who protect our nation. I am grateful for their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to keeping our country safe. #NY05 🗽🫡

On Veterans Day, join me in recognizing the immense sacrifices veterans and their families made for our country. Today and every day, I will continue to honor and fight for our veterans to ensure they receive the care and benefits they deserve. #NY05 🗽

Trump and Republicans keep proving they don’t care about everyday Americans. They're raising health care costs and cutting food assistance for those who need it most. I won’t support any deal that ignores America’s affordability crisis. youtu.be/23kj00jmAP0

While Republicans in Washington refuse to do their jobs, @GovHochul is stepping up to protect hardworking families. Thank you for making sure New Yorkers receive their full SNAP benefits during this Republican shutdown.
I've just directed state agencies to fully fund federal SNAP benefits for November.

President Trump's actions have been senseless and un-American. I'll never stop fighting for New York's families.

Nancy Pelosi’s leadership transformed Congress and made history. As the first woman to serve as Speaker, she led with courage, grace, vision and made America better for the children. Thank you, Madam Speaker, for your friendship and unwavering service to our nation.

Today I joined my Democratic colleagues in condemning Trump for defying court orders and withholding food assistance from Americans. He could restore full SNAP benefits right now but chooses not to. Republicans must return to DC to negotiate a bipartisan deal that reopens the government.

Superstorm Sandy hit New York 13 years ago today and changed our communities forever. I’ll never forget the resilience and strength New Yorkers displayed during such devastation. I'll always fight to make sure we have the federal resources to prepare for the next major storm.
We can’t go back. From #SuperstormSandy to #HurricaneMelissa, extreme weather disasters have become too frequent due to climate change. We won’t stand by while the Trump administration jeopardizes our health and safety. #ActOnClimate.

Families across the country rely on SNAP to keep food on the table. Now, because of the Republican shutdown, hardworking Americans face uncertainty about whether they’ll be able to afford food next month.

Rep. Grace Meng and I met with hospital leaders at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center to discuss expanding access to affordable health care for Queens families. The Republican health care crisis puts care out of reach for too many Americans. Everyone deserves reliable care. It’s a basic right.
