Congratulations to the Louis Armstrong House Museum in Queens for this well-deserved honor!

This recognition is the nation’s highest honor given to museums & libraries that significantly contribute to their communities. It’s no surprise that Louis Armstrong upholds these values.

NEW VIDEO with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Pramila Jayapal, @ssworks and Wendell Potter. We are the only industrialized nation in the world that doesn’t have universal healthcare and we CAN afford to make it a human right!

Earlier this year, our office helped secure $1 million for GrowNYC to support the construction of their NYS Regional Food Hub in Hunts Point. 🥬🥕👩🏽‍🌾

Today, we were honored to recognize Rear Admiral and SUNY Maritime College President Michael A. Alfultis on the House Floor for his years of service and to celebrate his retirement.

Thank you, President Alfutis, for your service, leadership, and invaluable contributions.

No more lives should be upended simply for possessing or using marijuana.

While there’s still more to do to fully legalize marijuana, we welcome this historic move that addresses the barriers to employment, housing, and more that come with marijuana convictions.

Following reports of poor medical care and lack of informed consent, RM Rep. Jamie Raskin, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and Congressman Robert Garcia are urging U.S. GAO to undertake a review of emergency medical procedures and major surgeries performed on people held in ICE and CBP custody.

Too often, we’ve heard horrifying stories of migrants being forced into unnecessary surgeries or receiving urgent medical care too late.

That’s why we’re joining Rep. Jamie Raskin & Congressman Robert Garcia to ask U.S. GAO to investigate medical care provided to migrants in detention facilities.

Today marks a victory for our climate. The EPA's new protections against power plant pollution are a crucial step towards cleaner air and a healthier future.

We need to keep pushing for bold action to combat climate change and protect our environment for generations to come.

It’s actually pretty simple — if you work overtime, you should be paid for it.

Starting July 1st, millions of salaried workers will finally be eligible for overtime pay. This is a major step towards fairer wages and economic justice.

Join the next generation of clean energy and climate resilience workers at ClimateCorps.gov.

Our kids and grandkids are counting on us.

I'm saddened to hear of the passing of my friend and colleague Donald Payne - a fierce & beloved advocate for NJ's 10th Congressional District. His presence in Congress and the world will be truly missed.

My heart goes out to his loved ones and staff during this difficult time.

Young Americans know that the climate crisis is the existential threat of our time.

They deserve leaders who believe them.

We’re not going to let them down.

Happening Now: President Biden delivers remarks to commemorate Earth Day. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Today, I, along with 36 of my Democratic colleagues, voted no on sending additional offensive weapons to Netanyahu and the Israeli military.

We can create a better future without death, terrorism, and occupation — together.

Renowned foreign policy expert Timothy Snyder agrees that we need a separate vote on Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, and that President Biden should potentially withhold offensive weapons as leverage over Netanyahu to get a permanent ceasefire and a release of all hostages.

For 738 days, Ukraine has been fighting back against Putin — a battle global democracy cannot lose.

But U.S. aid to Ukraine has been wrongly tied to unconditional support for Netanyahu's assault on Gaza.

It’s time for Congress to vote on stand-alone aid for Ukraine.

Housing is a human right.

Bernie Sanders & I know how to combat the housing crisis, create union jobs AND tackle climate change: the Green New Deal for Public Housing.

A better world - where people can afford safe & reliable housing - is within our reach.
