Happy Presidents’ Day!

Today we celebrate the leaders who have worked to preserve, protect, & uphold our Constitution.

As some continue to put their own power above the rule of law, we’re reminded that defending democracy requires integrity, courage, all of us working for a more perfect union. 🇺🇸

The DA must take into account the safety and risk of harm for Jabez and those around him. As he goes through the legal system, it’s most important to focus on what will be most rehabilitative for Jabez and to ensure he receives the necessary mental health resources. I don’t believe prison is it.

The Rego Park Library is getting some exciting upgrades and won’t reopen until winter 2029–2030. But right now, only one day a week of mobile library service is planned. I’ve heard from many neighbors that it’s just not enough.

This morning I welcomed the Buddhist monks to Capitol Hill as they completed their 15‑week walk for peace.

From Texas to DC, they have walked with a message of unity, compassion, & healing for our nation, which has transcended ideologies & brought Americans together in quiet gratitude & reflection.

No child should be separated from their family or spend their childhood behind bars.

Trump promised ICE was going after “the worst of the worst.” Instead, kids are suffering in detention. Until this inhumanity ends, I won’t vote to give DHS another dollar.

Hundreds of children are currently being held with their parents at an immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas. In letters and drawings, eight kids convey the pain of feeling trapped with no end...

Ghislaine Maxwell stayed silent and pleaded the Fifth—hoping the President rewards her with clemency. The American people deserve transparency.

Release all the Epstein files now.

Maxwell appeared virtually before the House Oversight Committee and refused to answer questions.

DHS agents have racially profiled people, raided schools and businesses, separated families, and taken lives. Congress can’t let this continue without real oversight and accountability.

Democrats have come to the table with reforms that protect both constitutional rights and public safety. (1/2)

Look at the damage the President is doing with our allies.

His attacks on NATO, coercive tariffs, and soft-on-Putin strategy are undermining decades of friendship rooted in shared values, democracy, and liberalism. (1/2)

Whether you’re tuning in for the game, the commercials, or the Bad Bunny halftime show, your Super Bowl spread is costing more this year because of Trump’s tariffs.

Chicken wings for 10 people now run about $39—nearly 25% more than last year.

Deeply saddened by the suicide bombing at an Islamabad mosque that killed at least 31 people and injured almost 200 more.

I am thinking of the Pakistani people and praying for a full recovery for those injured. Nobody should have to life in fear of practicing their faith.

I’m appalled by the recent Islamophobic attacks against Muslim New Yorkers — including a 12-year-old girl —in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. No New Yorker should ever face violence or harassment because of who they are, what they look like, or how they worship.

Megan Horne, 34, allegedly made anti-Muslim remarks while assaulting the girl and two women in three separate incidents on Jan. 30.

After hearing about antisemitic graffiti at the Kew Gardens Hills Post Office, my office & Sam Berger immediately reached out to postal officials. The graffiti has been removed, the blue shelf taken out of the lobby, and management was directed to conduct regular checks to prevent future incidents.

I’m relieved the courts have paused the termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haiti.

The situation in Haiti is dire. Armed gangs are displacing people. Women and girls are experiencing horrific sexual violence. (1/2)

Temporary Protected Status for more than 300,000 Haitians was set to end Tuesday. The Trump administration said it will take the matter to the Supreme Court.

My constituents in Queens have been clear: vote NO on any new funding for DHS
February 4, 2026 at 11:24 PM
The Trump Administration has no business blocking free buses in NYC or anywhere. I will fight this proposal and stand with efforts to provide free, reliable transit.
DOT wants to prohibit free buses. That could be a problem for Mamdani in NYC.
A proposal from the Trump administration would restrict federal funding for cities that don't charge fares.

I said it loud and clear in front of ICE HQ in DC: Kristi Noem has got to go.

No federal agency is above the law. We won't stand for these lawless attacks against American citizens under her failed leadership.

No matter what, I’ll keep standing with the New York State Nurses Association as they fight for a fair contract—and for a healthier, safer New York for all of us.
February 3, 2026 at 3:16 PM
I’m standing with NYS nurses in honor of Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse who dedicated his life to caring for vets. ICE has no place in our hospitals, schools, or churches. Its actions undermine public safety & tear at the fabric of our communities.

The agency, as it stands, must be dismantled & rebuilt.
