Rep. Gregory Meeks

Republicans promised Americans that the cost of basic necessities would be at an all-time low. They LIED. Families are paying more. In #NY05, the average monthly grocery bill has reached $1,116. Sadly, hardworking families are feeling the strain of this affordability crisis.

Gas prices have climbed to $3.79 per gallon on average. Health care and grocery costs are already expensive, and Americans are struggling to afford the basics. Taxpayer dollars should support working families and lowering costs, not ICE violence and a baseless war. forbes.com/advisor/person…

Republicans would rather keep DHS shut down than negotiate a bipartisan deal to rein in out of control ICE agents. They know ICE needs oversight but they still won’t support Democrats’ common sense reforms. Taxpayers deserve accountability. Americans deserve better.

I’m wishing a happy Sikh New Year to all who celebrate. May the year ahead bring peace and prosperity to Sikh communities worldwide. #NY05

It's been ONE MONTH since the Republicans shutdown DHS. TSA agents have missed a full paycheck, there are travel delays nationwide, and masked ICE agents are still out of control. Democrats remain ready to negotiate a bipartisan deal. When will Republicans get serious?

I’m heartbroken that we've lost six more service members in this war. My heart goes out to these brave Americans and their families, and I continue to pray for the safety of all our troops in the region. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/u…

I’m disturbed by the violent attack at Temple Israel in Michigan. Antisemitism is intolerable and has no place in our communities. My heart goes out to our Jewish neighbors across the country during this difficult time. bbc.com/news/articles/…

RM @RepGregoryMeeks: This deployment undermines Cyprus's sovereignty and will only serve to increase tensions in the region. President Erdogan must immediately reverse course. reuters.com/world/europe/t…

Ranking Member @RepGregoryMeeks will force a vote on a Iran War Powers Resolution he introduced last year if Trump’s war of choice continues past 60 days, the threshold where the War Powers Act compels the president to come to Congress for authorization. democrats-foreignaffairs.house.gov/2026/3/meeks-a…

RM @RepGregoryMeeks: I congratulate the people of Nepal on their recent elections, which underscore the resilience of Nepal’s democracy and constitution. I look forward to working with the incoming government to advance our bilateral relationship. wsj.com/world/asia/nep…

RM @RepGregoryMeeks: If a completed investigation confirms this reporting, the administration must immediately tell the American people how this happened—and what it will do to prevent further civilian casualties. My heart breaks for the innocent lives lost in Trump’s reckless war of choice.

The American people want affordable healthcare, gas, and groceries. Instead Trump is spending BILLIONS on a new forever war in the Middle East. @RepGregoryMeeks will force a vote on his Iran War Powers Resolution if Trump’s war of choice has not ended after 60 days.

RM @RepGregoryMeeks: The release of these prisoners in Cuba is a step in the right direction. Instead of doubling down on decades of a failed “maximum pressure” strategy, now is the time to ease the suffering of the Cuban people and encourage market economy reforms to benefit our hemisphere.

Muslim Americans are part of the fabric of this country, and OUR constitution guarantees their freedom of religion. Attacking an entire religion practiced by millions of Americans isn't leadership. This is fear mongering. This is hateful. This is un-American.

I'm deeply saddened by the passing of Major Sorffly Davius, a proud Queens native and decorated American patriot. My heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones. We are grateful for his courage and lifelong service. His legacy won't be forgotten. haitiantimes.com/2026/03/11/sor…

Democracy works best when every citizen participates. While Republicans are trying to make it harder for everyday Americans to vote, Democrats are fighting back to ensure all voices are heard.

The violent attack that happened outside of Gracie Mansion is deeply troubling. Political violence is never acceptable, and it has no place in our democracy.

The American people want affordable healthcare, gas and groceries. Instead they have a president spending billions on a war of choice in the Middle East. Congress must not send Trump a blank check to continue this war without first getting a lot more answers.
