I am a definite NO on this so-called "deal."

Housing is only 1% of the federal budget, yet Donald Trump wants to cut it in half and impose time limits that would displace millions. We have an arsonist pretending to be a firefighter in the White House.

Tish James is a fighter -- and she's going to fight these dubious charges to the bitter end.

The Bronx is home to the largest number of WIC recipients in New York State. A government shutdown isn’t abstract here, it means mothers can’t buy formula or diapers for their babies. We cannot allow the most vulnerable families to pay the price for Washington’s dysfunction.

Public housing is a federal obligation. Decades of disinvestment have left families poisoned by lead, breathing mold, freezing in winter, and trapped in broken elevators. The federal government has been the worst slumlord in America.

We refuse to be extorted.

Democrats are fighting for the healthcare of the American people.

Republicans are on vacation and content to let the government shut down.

A gas explosion led to a partial building collapse at Mitchel Houses this morning.

HUD needs to do everything it can to assist NYC in restoring the building and relocating these families who have been displaced to permanent housing. This is an emergency situation.

As a product of public housing, the affordability crisis is not abstract to me. Millions depend on affordable housing programs to survive. We must protect and expand them.

The Bronx lost a beautiful young soul, River Wilson, to a broken daycare system.

I’m introducing River’s Law, which would:

🚫 Eliminate pools from residential daycares
🔔 Install safety alarms to protect children

We must act to ensure a tragedy like this never happens again.

Medicaid is the air we breathe.

Is it fair to subsidize luxury aircraft for billionaires at the cost of savagely defunding healthcare, food, and energy -- the essentials for working families?

Spoiler alert: it’s been a disaster.
