Today, President Biden spoke with moral clarity on the scourge of antisemitism, which has skyrocketed in the aftermath of 10/7.

His unequivocal condemnation of antisemitism, wherever it arises, underscores his fundamental decency.

We cannot allow antisemitism to fester in our society.

There is no safe level of exposure to lead. That’s why our Administration is working to replace every lead pipe in the country within a decade.

.Rep. Ritchie Torres: “NYCHA’s track record on health and safety has historically been cause for concern—a consequence of local mismanagement and federal disinvestment. It is in the nature of all institutions to cover up rather than come clean, and NYCHA is no exception...”
