Recently had a flight seriously delayed or canceled? Tough luck now. President Trump has canceled the Biden-era rule that finally made airlines pay customers for delays or cancelations. Yet another action making life more expensive for the American people.

This week the 369th “Harlem Hellfighters” received long-overdue recognition of their service during WWI. I honored their bravery, sacrifice and important connection to the City of Mount Vernon from the House floor.

This morning’s jobs report is one of the worst since the pandemic, with only 22k jobs added and unemployment for Black Americans at 7.5% and 10.5% for ages 16-24. Pair this with cuts to Medicaid and Trump’s reckless tariffs, and costs are through the roof. Both American workers…

20 years ago after the failed response to Hurricane Katrina, we promised it wouldn't happen again. Now this Admin is gutting emergency response systems and has floated eliminating FEMA. Disasters will strike whether we're ready or not. The federal government has a responsibility…

Today I hosted a wreath laying ceremony at the Tomb of the Unknown Solider to honor the Harlem Hellfighters. Their descendants received the Congressional Gold Medal this afternoon. 22 young men from Mount Vernon were Hellfighters and I'm very glad they received this long-overdue…

I just signed the discharge petition to force a vote on releasing all of the Epstein files. What was released last night was either heavily redacted or already released to the public. We need full transparency now.

Today, Labor Day, we remember and honor those who by their hard work have built this nation. My father, a maintenance man, and my mother, a factory worker, were two such hard working Americans who labored and provided for their children and their community. They are my daily…

Republicans’ Big Ugly bill slashes healthcare funding, putting 300+ hospitals at risk of closure or scaled back services. That means fewer beds, longer waits, and worse care — especially for our most vulnerable neighbors. We should be expanding care, not cutting it.

Starting this weekend, families and businesses may not receive basic, inexpensive goods from other countries thanks to Trump’s reckless tariffs. This is not a sound business decision. It is American consumers who continue to bear the financial burden of these tariffs, not other…

It is almost back to school time for our youngest residents, and school supplies are more expensive. Thanks to Trump’s reckless tariffs, families can expect to pay +7% more for school supplies compared to last year. We need to work on substantive economic policies that bring down…

Earlier this month my staff was able to step in and support a family of refugees from Ukraine who were threatened with removal despite having a pending employment authorization renewal. By intervening, my staff were able to secure the renewal for this family, and they will be…

My office is now accepting applications for service academy nominations! If you are interested in attending one of our nation’s service academies, learn more about the process on my website. We will be announcing a service academy information night soon.

Republicans’ Big Ugly law will take away healthcare from 15 million people, including many people who can least afford to lose their healthcare. This will make life more expensive for these Americans, all to pay for tax giveaways to the ultra-wealthy. It’s time we started…

This month my office was able to assist a constituent from Hastings-on-Hudson with an expedited passport renewal. It was looking like her passport wouldn’t get completed in time for a trip, but my staff stepped in and were able to get the passport shipped the same day. If you…

20 years ago, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans. Now this Administration minimizes FEMA, has gutted our nation’s disaster response and recovery, and are even discussing eliminating the agency all together. This is what happens when we let ideology triumph over common…

ICYMI: I recently joined my friend @ShelleyBMayer for a press conference at the Carver Center to talk about how SNAP cuts in the Big Ugly Bill will hurt working families and seniors in our district. With these SNAP cuts and rising food costs, we must ensure food banks like…

A new report based on nonpartisan CBO numbers shows nearly every household in our district will feel the impact of Trump’s reckless economic policies. Families need relief from rising costs — but Republicans are focused on culture wars and enriching the ultra-wealthy. We must act…

This week I joined my New York Democratic colleagues on a letter to NY elected leaders about the nationwide assault on the Voting Rights Act of 1965. This effort threatens to disenfranchise millions of voters in our state. We need our state to strengthen voting laws and protect…

This week I visited Westchester Community Health Center in Mount Vernon. I heard stories from patients about what cuts to Medicaid in the Big Ugly Bill will mean for their access to healthcare. They are, understandably, very concerned about the future. I will do all I can in…

Our White Plains office has been lucky to have Tommy as a spring and summer intern. He has jumped headfirst into many tasks including answering the phones, attending events with me in the district, and training other interns. He heads back to Boston for his junior year. Thanks…
