I’m standing in solidarity with @sbworkersunited.org as they fight for their first contract.✊

After more than four years, it’s time for Starbucks to bargain in good faith and reach the agreement their workers deserve.
As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history.

Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

The bill to fund the government on the House floor this evening wasn't a "deal." It does absolutely nothing to address rising health care costs. Nor does it do anything to help families make ends meet. (1/2)

The facts speak for themselves. The President apparently knew what Epstein was doing.

The House was out of session for 53 days and the GOP didn't use a single moment to address health care costs.

Health insurance tax credits are about to expire, and everyone’s premiums will skyrocket.

I visited the BVM St. Mary’s Winfield Pantry, which serves residents in Woodside, Maspeth and Elmhurst, where residents waited in long lines to feed their families following the delay in SNAP benefits.

I know many federal workers & families that rely on food assistance are concerned about affording their grocery bill this month as the GOP shutdown continues. For anyone in need, here is a list of local food pantries serving Queens families.👇

In America, nobody should live in fear of practicing their religion.

That’s why I introduced the Pray Safe Act, a bipartisan bill to help houses of worship, faith-based organizations, and nonprofits secure themselves.

This vandalism is antisemitic and unacceptable.

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Speaker Pelosi is a legend in the halls of Congress. As the first woman to serve as Speaker of the House, she has led with strength, conviction, and grace. I’m grateful that she took the opportunity to visit my district in Queens, coming to Elmhurst and Forest Hills.

Our national security depends on the status of women and girls around the world.

Supporting women’s economic empowerment, combating gender-based violence, and making sure women have a seat at the table isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s the smart thing to do. (1/2)

The Administration is refusing to deliver the full SNAP benefits that millions of New Yorkers rely on. Without support from our food pantries, families will go hungry. 

I'm fighting to fund SNAP & feed our families in Queens.

Share your story: how will rising health care premiums affect you?

With ACA tax credits set to expire, everyone’s insurance costs could go up if Congress doesn’t act.

How much more will you pay?

TSA Agents and Air Traffic Controllers constantly work under stressful conditions to keep our skies & communities safe. They shouldn't have to worry about when they'll get their next paycheck.

No matter what happens in Washington, we must ensure these federal workers get paid.

A partial payment isn't enough for the 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP to put food on the table.

Two separate judges ruled that the Administration must make a plan to continue funding the program.

Proud to join Queens DA Melinda Katz & NYC Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Jason Graham to host the first Missing Persons Day in Queens. Providing one-on-one support to families brings hope to those searching for loved ones and helps law enforcement move closer to answers in these heartbreaking cases.
