As these ICE raids continue to infiltrate and scare our communities, it’s important that everyone is prepared and knows their rights.

Thank you Governor Hochul for recognizing Hispanic Heritage Month and the impact of Latino communities to our state.
I look forward to continuing our fight to ensure protections and opportunities for all who call New York home.

Democrats are holding the line.
We remain willing to meet anywhere and anytime to negotiate a bipartisan government funding agreement that meets the needs of the American people and addresses the health care crisis. Until then, Republicans own every day of this shutdown.

This is the GOP plan: kick Americans off of their healthcare plans, raise premiums, and threaten public servants for being public servants.
Healthcare and mortgages don’t care about government shutdowns, and apparently neither do House Republicans (otherwise they’d be in DC).

How much do you want to bet they’re pushing it off because she’ll be the 218th signature on the Epstein files discharge petition?
Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva was duly elected by the people of Arizona's 7th district 9 days ago. She still hasn't been sworn in. What's the holdup, Mike?
