NYC. 9/11 Responder & Advocate. 101st Vet & Advocate . Kidney Donor. Average guy with colorful language who has helped pass 19 pieces of legislation. You want me on your side when the shit hits the fan. I mow Jon Stewart's lawn. NO DM's unless I know you!
Friends - Today I am 21,550 days old. Yes, I share this day (November 13th) with Felix Unger who was asked to leave his apartment by his wife. I have been fighting my whole life. For myself against Bullies, an abusive Father and Congress. I have 7,500 days left. I hope 1 day I don't have to fight!

Friends - 30 hard fought emotional plus meetings. I am so proud of those who joined me yesterday, a year ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago & 22 years ago. I will owe you for a lifetime. The friendship, the brotherhood/sisterhood, the loyalty, the discipline, common bond & mission. To help the masses.

Friends - The Government might be shutdown. But we are not, nor is 9/11 Cancer! Today we travel back to the Hill for 30 plus meetings tomorrow on H.R1410 the WTCHP Corrections Act of 2025. We now have 99 cosponsors and when/if they reopen we will force this lifesaving legislation on their plate!

Friends - 24 years today at 5.28pm, during the clean-up and recovery at GZ, roughly 8000lbs of steel crushed my left foot. DO NOT FEEL SORRY FOR ME! Because I am lucky and my story pales in comparison to those with 9/11 cancer. Today is my day of remembrance and a reminder to do better. #Service

Friends - I/we are off to DC for two of 100 plus meetings. We are tired & exhausted, but far from defeated. We know have 81 cosponsors on H.R1410. 48,475 people now have a 9/11 related cancer. That is more then 1 in 3. That alone is our motivation. Congress I am coming and I will be wearing bells.

Friends - In-between the madness and an environment of instability I took 20 9/11 Heroes to the Hill for 30 plus meetings in Congress and the Senate. I am so proud of these men and woman. #HR110 #WTCHP #HUMANITY #RELENTLESS

Friends - Happy Birthday Mom. You and you only are the only reason I exist. Your last words are in my mind on replay 24/7. Your last touch is safe in my soul. Your last breath stored in my heart. Your inner and outer beauty had no boundaries. Dam, I miss your meatloaf! (Yes that is me at 12 yrs old)

Friends - I am humbled, yet not worthy & embarrassed to be honored on September 12th by the ADAO. Accolades nor that kind of attention is what I seek when I am blinded by the past & current battles for the masses. I have another new responsibility added to my list of fights. Because it is what I do.

Friends - When I am not in DC being a pain in the ass. I built this memorial in Nesconset Long Island dedicated to those we lost to 9/11 related illnesses. Passing legislation is cool (19x), but this memorial is my greatest accomplishment. Next event September 13th 10am. #Courage #Honor #Sacrifice

Friends - 2 days of meetings. 37 meetings in total. We made a difference and we are not going away. Please help us help 140,000 thousand people in the World Trade Center Health Program. Contact you Senators/Congressmen and tell them to support H.R.1410 & S.739. So proud of my teams.

Friends - Six years ago today my dear friend
@jonstewart delivered an historic testimony to Congress. After following Det Louis Alvarez NYPD testimony. (Lou would pass 18 days later). My plan to take Jon's written testimony worked and he delivered an iconic verbal ass whopping on Congress.

Friends - See you Monday DC! We are far from done. We won this week, and no celebrating. Now back to legislation. You either support H.R.1410 & S.739 ($3 billion for the WTCHP) or you don't. Either way we will get this done. We don't lose! #DCIsMyPlayGround #YouWorkForUs
