Democrats want to open TSA. We've introduced bills in the House and Senate to pay federal workers and end these headaches for travelers. Republicans are refusing to do that unless funding for ICE is attached. We shouldn’t hamstring our airports because they won’t rein in ICE.

TSA agents are going without paychecks, and airports are at risk of shutting down. All because Republicans refuse to rein in ICE and its terror. House Democrats’ discharge petition would force a vote to reopen every part of DHS except ICE. The GOP must stop the chaos, and join us.

Today, our nation mourns the loss of a devoted public servant and true patriot.   Robert Mueller served our country with honor — as a Vietnam veteran, Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient, federal prosecutor, FBI Director, and as Special Counsel. His integrity and unwavering commitment to the rule of law has set an enduring example.   My thoughts are with his family, loved ones, and colleagues.   ms.now/news/former-sp…

Extreme weather has battered the U.S. this year — blizzards, tornadoes, floods, and record heat. With hurricane and tornado seasons ramping up, we must stay prepared. That’s why I secured $6.2 billion in federal funding for @NOAA — their emergency alerts save lives. I’ll keep fighting GOP attempts to slash funding so we can stay safe when severe weather strikes.

Energy costs are already high. The President's tariffs are making it even more difficult for New Yorkers to get relief. A wind and solar project that could power millions of homes is now on hold because his tariffs sent costs skyrocketing. Every day, he breaks his promise to lower costs.

As Ramadan comes to an end, I'm wishing everyone who celebrated in Queens and beyond a joyful and blessed Eid al-Fitr. Eid Mubarak!

Last week, a fire on the USS Gerald Ford damaged the sleeping quarters of hundreds of sailors and crew members. Thanks to the US-Greece relationship, the ship will be repaired at the Souda Bay base in Crete. My bipartisan US-Greece Security Cooperation Reporting Act would strengthen this relationship that serves our mutual interests in the Eastern Mediterranean.   ekathimerini.com/politics/forei…

He was a dad rushing to see his baby in the NICU. A DACA recipient. A scientist. A neighbor. A man with no criminal record. And ICE still detained him. This Administration says they’re targeting the "worst of the worst," while they’re tearing families apart. I won't support another dollar for DHS until this lawlessness is reined in. ms.now/news/ice-detai…

Weekend Office Hours: 3/22 My team & I are hosting weekend office hours this Sunday, March 22, 10am-1pm, at my Northeast Queens District Office! Stop by to ask questions & receive assistance with federal agencies like the IRS, VA, Social Security, & more. Details👇

When I visited MDC Brooklyn last week, I requested to meet with Rafael. I wanted to make sure that he was safe and being treated humanely. We talked briefly about his case and I told him that I and many other New Yorkers – including Speaker Menin – continue standing with him. I join the Speaker and others in denouncing the decision to deport him.

I’m signing a discharge petition to force a vote to fund parts of DHS that don’t include ICE — agencies like TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard. This will keep our airports running and ensure federal workers get the pay they’ve earned, while we continue demanding accountability for ICE. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I won’t support any measure that gives ICE a blank check to keep harming our communities.

I stopped by @Commonpoint_Qns while I was home in Queens last week to check in with local seniors, update them on what I've been working on in DC, and answer their questions! So many in our community are concerned about rising costs, the status of federal funding in our community, flooding, severe weather, & more. I’m so grateful for their insight and spirit—and in Congress, I’ll keep fighting to make life better for every family in our community.
