Please read my column in today’s America Magazine about politics in the US today:

“if we continue down the path of an ‘eye for an eye,’ we will, as Gandhi said, ‘all end up blind.’”

These are people who work six days a week, go to church on Sundays, and have raised families—including U.S. citizen children. They should not be forced to leave the only country they’ve known for the past 26 years.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients from Honduras were granted legal status in 1999 after Hurricane Mitch killed 10,000 people and devastated the country.

They are terrified.

I support the President’s efforts to secure the border and deport violent criminals—but this is going too far. Hondurans who have been living legally in the U.S. for over 25 years, working and paying taxes, are now being threatened with deportation on September 8th.

I think we can all agree that transparency is a good thing. I don’t know how anybody could be against that.

Let’s talk about immigration.

Watch my full interview this morning with Morning Joe.

Let’s get something done in Congress on immigration!

Watch my full interview on Face the Nation.
Cutting Medicaid and food assistance programs for Americans most in need is unacceptable, especially when at the same time we’re cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans and blowing up the deficit. The math just doesn’t add up.

This is not a Republican or Democratic concern; it is an American issue that should unite us all. We must come together to ensure that every veteran receives the mental health services they have rightfully earned and deserve. Let us take action and advocate for our heroes.

Tom Suozzi @tomsuozzi.bsky.social · Jun 6

The challenge of accessing mental health counseling is a pressing issue & demands our urgent attention. The US Dept of Veterans Affairs tragically reports that 17 veterans take their lives every day. It is vital to understand that acknowledging PTSD is a testament to strength—not a sign of weakness.

Tom Suozzi @tomsuozzi.bsky.social · Jun 6

June is National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month. Today, as we commemorate the 81st anniversary of the D-Day Invasion, let us reflect on the reality that over 7% of our veterans may develop PTSD.

Tom Suozzi @tomsuozzi.bsky.social · Jun 6

In the 24 hours we now remember as D-Day, more than 4,000 Allied soldiers, sailors, airmen, and coastguardsmen gave their lives in the name of freedom.

The greatest tribute we can offer to their sacrifice is to uphold and strengthen the democratic ideals for which they fought.

Tom Suozzi @tomsuozzi.bsky.social · Jun 6

Lest we forget.

On June 6, 1944, 156,000 American, British, and Canadian troops launched the largest amphibious assault in history on the beaches of Normandy—a pivotal moment in World War II that helped turn the tide against tyranny.

Like so many Long Islanders, I grew up with the music of the Piano Man. I was fortunate to get to know Billy Joel over 30 years ago, when I was mayor of Glen Cove. His songs remind us why we’re proud to be in a “New York state of mind.” Wishing Billy a swift and full recovery.

I want everyone to understand the basics of the State and Local Tax deduction (SALT). Please watch my testimony at the Rules Committee today as I introduce an amendment to raise the SALT cap to $80,000.

Watch my video:

President Trump and Speaker Johnson are pushing for their "big beautiful bill" to be debated in the rules committee tonight, in the dead of night. What do they not want the press to cover and you to know?

This provision has been in place since 1934 and now they want to sneak this change in. Please watch to get the details. Shocking!

Tom Suozzi @tomsuozzi.bsky.social · May 16

This is absurd! Buried in the 400-page bill, dropped late Monday and debated in an all nighter last night, is a $1.4 billion dollar cut in the fees to buy and register a silencer!!

There’s lots of talk about negotiations over the SALT deduction, so I made it simple. I just proposed an increase to a $80,000 SALT deduction cap. Americans don’t deserve to be taxed on the taxes they have already paid. youtu.be/eNvNL4s0rxE?...
