A $10,000 State and Local Tax deduction cap is a slap in the face to hard-working families. We need a tax system that's fair to middle-class families, firefighters, law enforcement, and small business owners, not one that continues to double-tax them on the same income.

Long Island taxpayers shouldn’t be footing the bill for NYC’s failed policies. This shows yet again that Mayor Adams is falling short in his leadership and cannot be trusted to effectively govern. nypost.com/2025/06/19/opi…

It’s been three years since the Dobbs ruling erased nearly five decades of legal precedent and stripped women of the autonomy to make their own health care choices. American women deserve better and I won't stop fighting until our reproductive freedoms are fully restored.

"We are not socialists": Congresswoman Laura Gillen, D-N.Y., criticizes Zohran Mamdani, the winner of New York City's mayoral Democratic primary. She says many of Mamdani's campaign promises are things he cannot legally do, and the things he can do would cost tens of billions of dollars.

Zohran Mamdani’s socialist, defund the police platform is wrong for New York City. I joined Elizabeth Vargas last night to discuss how Mr. Mamdani lacks a realistic fiscal plan or the legal ability to deliver on his many campaign promises. Watch the full interview here:

The majority of this country is in the middle—not on the extremes. The people who are willing to work together to govern and tackle the cost-of-living crisis in a realistic, responsible way are the ones who should be leading our nation. Read more from my TIME interview here:

I have significant disagreements with Zohran Mamdani’s policies, but the personal attacks being levied against him simply based on his race and religion are reprehensible. As Americans we must reject hateful rhetoric.

Every American deserves access to quality, affordable health care. We should be exploring ways to strengthen health care and bring down the cost of prescription drugs. Instead, the Senate is voting today to gut Medicaid, which would rip health care away from our country’s

The GOP tax bill would drastically cut Medicaid, putting one in four nursing homes across our country at risk of closure. This would be devastating for our seniors: raising costs and limiting their access to care.

The CBO just confirmed how completely fiscally irresponsible this GOP tax bill is. It would add over $3.9 trillion to the national debt without a responsible plan to pay for it.

Children and seniors will go hungry. The special needs community will be abandoned. Nursing homes will close. Millions will lose health insurance. Healthcare systems will collapse. This is what the GOP calls beautiful. nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
