I am excited to introduce the Electric and Hybrid Vehicle Battery Safety Act of 2026 with my colleague, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick! This bill will help make our roads and communities safer by addressing the risks of battery fires in electric and hybrid vehicles.

January 6th, 2021, will be remembered as the day our Capitol was tarnished with hate and violence. May we remember, and thank, the brave servicemen and women who worked to protect those who work in the Capitol building that day.

I led 20 of my House colleagues in sending a letter to Treasury Sec. Bessent and Homeland Security Sec. Noem urging both departments to dedicate resources to planning for the impending SCOTUS decision on the legality of the President’s tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.

Republican leadership is unwilling to call a vote to extend the ACA Enhanced Premium Tax credit. They pulled a stunt by passing a bill that did not contain a single word about ACA credits but the Amercians people are not buying it.

I'm a proud cosponsor of Rep. Tim Kennedy's LEAP Act, which would ensure that students getting advanced degrees that Trump's Admin no longer considers "professional" can still access higher loan caps.

While we mourn the tragic events in Sydney, we are reminded that celebrations for Chanukah should be welcomed as part of our diverse mosaic of cultures and religions. Tonight marks the first night of Chanukah - may the next 8 nights be filled with peace and light.

I proudly cosponsored and voted for the Protect America’s Workforce Act, which passed in the House this week. This bill repeals Trump’s EO that stripped 1 million federal workers of collective bargaining rights. This will restore rights and I’ll continue to fight this admin’s attacks on workers.

The Trump Administration’s Environmental Protection Agency is quietly denying us protection from forever chemicals, such as PFAS. Not only is this Administration making our groceries more expensive, but they’re also making them less healthy.

This Administration has proven they have an anti-education agenda that goes beyond picking someone to lead the ED who knows more about pro wrestling than education.

This week, @repglatimer.bsky.social and I led a coalition of Bronx elected officials in urging Secretary Rubio and the U.S. Department of State to deliver immediate emergency aid to Jamaica following the catastrophic destruction caused by Hurricane Melissa.

The NY Congressional delegation has urged Trump and USDA to ensure SNAP benefits will be received by New Yorkers without delay. USDA has contingency funds for this exact scenario and has a clear legal obligation do disburse them. The President is making a choice to take food assistance away.

Happy Halloween! Unfortunately this year, even Halloween candy is not immune from Trump’s reckless tariffs. Yet another example of how families continue to be squeezed by rising costs.

Hurricane Melissa recently made landfall over Jamaica and is a devastating storm. My thoughts are with the people of Jamaica and their family and loved ones in Westchester and the Bronx at this uncertain time. In the coming days, my office is here to assist however we can.

A couple in White Plains making $85,000/year will see their healthcare premiums increase by $1,100/month w/o the ACA tax credits. Another example of families being squeezed by rising costs due to House GOP inaction. It's past time to negotiate on healthcare tax credits and reopen the government.

Inflation is up 3% from a year ago. Economists predict the Trump administration’s tariff agenda could raise consumer prices more in the months ahead. He promised lower costs on Day 1. It’s been 10 months. It’s time for Congress to step up and act to bring costs down. www.npr.org/2025/10/24/n...
Inflation ticked up 3% in September, the U.S. belatedly reports
The federal government recalled some furloughed workers specifically to produce the inflation report, which plays a key role for Social Security beneficiaries.

According to KFF, healthcare premiums in our district will increase on average by 230% if we don’t take action to extend the ACA tax credits. Families and small business owners are getting squeezed by rising costs. We must address these premiums before it’s too late.

Today my staff attended the Westchester County Diverse Ability Job and Resource Fair. They were able to provide information to attendees who may need assistance with the VA, IRS, and Social Security. It is always great to partner with the County on this impactful event.

The Republican majority has cancelled votes for the last month and time is running out before ACA tax credits expire. New York is one of the first states to send out premium notices. If you have received one and seen it increase, I hope you will share it with us here: forms.gle/YFXmEMrbnynS...

Today I joined hundreds of neighbors at No Kings rallies in New Rochelle and Larchmont. The message was clear: Americans do not want a despot. We believe our leaders should abide by the Constitution and uphold the rule of law.
