I hope everyone is OK. My thanks to our first responders who are on the scene. In the longer term, we need to think about reducing helicopter traffic in NYC's crowded air space. https://t.co/rMT6y1upyj
From dilapidated bathrooms to packages of raw chicken leaking blood, it is safe to say @ICEgov's "egregious violations" of standards in #detention facilities are an attack on any regard for CIVIL custody. @DHSOIG's 28-page report can be found here: https://t.co/E4173814rd
Joining today with @SpeakerPelosi @NitaLowey @RepJoseSerrano as we send to the President emergency supplemental funding that includes badly needed relief for #PuertoRico including nutritional assistance for our fellow citizens. No child child in our nation should ever go hungry! https://t.co/4HapjIUnSQ
I stand with the brave workers of @McDonalds across our nation as they fight for a $15 minimum wage, the right to unionize, and a to end sexual harassment in the workplace. We are with you! #FightFor15
Proud to join @RepMaxRose & @RepJerryNadler in announcing legislation to allow split tolling on the Verrazano bridge. This will mean less congestion and better air quality throughout BK, Manhattan and Staten Island. Time to get this done! https://t.co/dPl847aiLE
It was my homor tonight to join colleagues @RepJerryNadler @RepYvetteClarke @RepMaloney for a town hall on the #GreenNewDeal. New York can lead the way to a more sustainable future! #GND4NYC https://t.co/qMJFCWcZuF
Pleased @NYGovCuomo & legislature have reached budget deal with congestion pricing, criminal justice reform, public financing for elections & census funds. All important steps for NYS!
Proud 100 of my colleagues joined me in writing House Appropriators asking for additional $300 mill. for EPA's Superfund program. NY-07 has 3 Superfund sites: Gowanus Canal, Newtown Creek and Wollff-Alport. Funding this program is matter of social justice & public health! https://t.co/YOd6Dkwv0y
Today, I cosponsored legislation, HR 9, the Climate Action Now Act, legislation that would prevent @realDonaldTrump and the White House from withdrawing from the #ParisAgreement. Climate change is an existential threat that we have a profound obligation to address.
One reason I'm proud to serve on @FSCDems with my friend and fellow boricua @RepAOC is the energy she brings to these debates. Thank you for helping crystallize the challenges before us - and calling out Republicans for playing games with our future! https://t.co/my1vGu9oCh
@AnthonyMaceira @DavidBegnaud @ricardorossello This is not about status, this about effective administration of government services. If this problem is truly resolved, I hope to hear that from the people of Vieques and Culebra soon - that's not what they are saying right now.

.@GOP is continuing a relentless assault Americans' healthcare. Whether it is preexisting conditions or those newly eligible for Medicaid this Republican court case puts healthcare at risk for millions. We must fight this ruling in Congress & the Courts! https://t.co/Gs8vE7t96F QT @nytimes: Breaking News: A federal judge struck down the Affordable Care Act, ruling that its mandate requiring people to buy… https://t.co/tngqLIBLGj)
Saddened by the passing of an old friend, former Rep. Ed Pastor. The first Latino Member of Congress from that state, he will be remembered as a steadfast voice for working people, immigrant communities and his beloved Arizona. My thoughts are with his family.
After receiving @USPTO’s 5th Patents for Humanity award, I had the pleasure of hearing from the founder & representatives of Brooklyn Bridge to Cambodia, which is located in my district. These innovators are breaking barriers in health & technology to help better our world. https://t.co/cqrHEayRdu
As the first Member of Congress to call for a Special Counsel investigation into @realDonaldTrump’s history with Russia, I'm very concerned at his prospect of pardoning Manafort, after Mueller has alleged Manafort lied & violated his plea agreement: https://t.co/sXtAjD90eD

It was a privilege to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Chinatown. Thanks to BRACE and ACCR for coordinating this wonderful event. Wishing a warm celebration to all the families in NYC and around the world who will gather in the upcoming days to mark this special occasion. https://t.co/kzEcirw3Bl
