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

Break the cycle, bring the House back, and negotiate a way to open the government without ripping affordable healthcare away from millions of American families.

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).
