Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.

A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.

We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

Republicans have been trying to deflect and diminish Trump’s close relationship with Jeffrey Epstein by delaying the release of the Epstein files.

But now they can’t hide.

It’s time for the truth to come to light and for the DOJ to release the files.

Victoria’s husband has cystic fibrosis. Without health insurance, his medication costs $300,000 per year.

Republicans’ failure to extend ACA subsidies means that Victoria and her husband won't be able to afford their insurance.

These are the stakes for working people in this fight. We cannot cave.

In 2 days, Donald Trump will cut off SNAP benefits for more than 3 million New Yorkers. Not because the USDA doesn't have the money, but because he thinks starving people helps him politically.

@reprileyny.bsky.social and I led a letter demanding that Trump reverse course and fund SNAP now.

Republicans are trafficking the lie that this shutdown is because Democrats want to give undocumented immigrants free health care.

That's not true, and it's not the law.
October 16, 2025 at 1:17 PM
Unlike Trump, I don't care if someone likes me or not. That will never change the fact that I'm going to fight for them to have health care.

I want MAGA to have health care. I want MAGA to be paid a living wage.

House Republicans are saying that they are doing all of this work, but they are twiddling their thumbs and refusing to negotiate.

I have never seen people who hate working this much. They need to pick up the phone.

Trump and Speaker Johnson think that destroying our health care and jacking up the cost of groceries is about hurting Democrats.

It’s not. It’s about hurting and punishing the American people.

ICE is using your tax dollars to target children.

A child in my district was deported days before the start of the school year.

We are demanding answers on why K-12 students are being arrested and whether the Department of Education is fulfilling their obligations to students in custody.

We can't settle for Republicans’ promise of later negotiations. Because every time this Administration says something, they go back on their word.

If Republicans need Democratic votes, they need to keep health care premiums from skyrocketing for the American people.

Trump just cancelled $8B of energy projects to pressure Democrats to let him jack up health care costs.

And he didn't just cancel projects in Dem districts; he canceled them in R districts too. The difference is that Republicans are letting him use their constituents as pawns.

This is not a fight about tax credits.

This is a fight over your ability to go to a pharmacy and afford your insulin.

We have the chance to protect the health care of millions of Americans. We need to take it.
October 1, 2025 at 12:29 PM
This moment is a test. Donald Trump wants us to blink first and hand him over power.

We have too much to save to give in. Protecting the American people is too important a task for us to give up before anything even starts.

The New York Power Authority's renewable energy plan demonstrates the leadership we need to meet New York's climate goals.

It is a step toward lowering electric bills and I urge NYPA to continue expanding.

I am proud to lead this effort with @reppaultonko.bsky.social and NY Democrats.

During my town hall, someone asked me what they could do to stand up to authoritarianism.

Despite what the cynics say, you have power. All it takes is one person speaking up for somebody else. It is small acts that can change the course of this country.

I am proud to announce that my bill, the bipartisan Healthy Start Reauthorization Act of 2025 just passed @energycommerce.bsky.social unanimously.

We must continue fighting for new moms and babies everywhere. I look forward to getting this to the president's desk.

The Trump administration and Department of Energy policies have already cost Americans 91,000 clean energy jobs and counting.

They are actively killing jobs in rural places and small towns across this country, and they have no plan to replace them.

It is against United States law to provide weapons to forces that commit war crimes. Yet our government in Democratic and Republican administrations have continued sending American made bombs to an Israeli government carrying out a genocide.

It is time to Block the Bombs.

I’m proud that Representative Malliotakis and I are moving our bill to fund Healthy Start programs one step closer to the House floor.

Over 115 Healthy Start programs across the U.S. are at risk. Let's get this done for moms and babies everywhere.

Trump wants to replace doctors with AI to determine whether Medicare patients get the care they need.

A machine will have the ability to override a licensed doctor to deny care in order to increase profits. Make no mistake, this is a direct attack on Medicare.
September 5, 2025 at 3:01 PM
The bipartisan Restore Trust in Congress Act is a necessary step to ban Members of Congress and their families from engaging in insider trading.

It is time to pass this bill and make it clear to the American people that their elected officials put them first.

Last month, Trump signed the ‘One Big Beautiful Bill Act’ into law, including several provisions that will make education more expensive.

Con Ed is trying to raise electricity and gas bills by 18% for working New Yorkers - all while reporting major profits.

I sent a letter today with my colleagues urging the Public Service Commission to stand up for our constituents and deny Con Ed’s rate hike.
