While conducting a congressional oversight visit to Delaney Hall, I witnessed the abuse and neglect firsthand, and have continued to speak out against these violations of human rights and basic decency. The recent death of Edwin Lopez-Cornejo is a tragedy that requires a full, independent investigation, and
Delaney Hall must be closed.

Trump’s crony, Todd Blanche, is unfit to be the Attorney General for the United States. From his gross mishandling of the Epstein files to his unprecedented “super pardon” for Donald Trump and his allies, to his attempt to create Trump’s slush fund using taxpayer dollars, Todd Blanche has proven that he serves Trump, not the rule of law.
A politicized DOJ is how democracies die.

The Trump administration is deranged if they think I'd support a blank-check, closed-door process for redeveloping a critical piece of New York City's transportation infrastructure. Penn Station must be renovated, but the process must be fair and transparent. I am fighting to protect my constituents and millions of transit riders from having to foot the bill for a multibillion-dollar project they have no voice in.

A federal appeals court just dealt a massive blow to Trump’s ego by ruling what we’ve known all along — Donald Trump’s vain destruction of the East Wing for his White House ballroom is illegal without the consent of Congress.
Breaking News: President Trump cannot continue building the ballroom in the White House without explicit approval from Congress, a federal appeals court panel ruled. The Supreme Court will likely decide the project's fate. https://t.co/29VfxOw8xR

JUST IN: A surprisingly bad job report. The US economy LOST -23,000 jobs in July (way below expectations of +80k). May and June were revised DOWN by a combined -103,000.
Unemployment rate: 4.1% ->This went down for the WRONG reasons. Over 260,000 left the labor force
Wage growth: 3.2% -->this is entirely wiped out by inflation
Trump’s latest attack on healthcare will drive up monthly premiums and make prescription drugs more expensive for 1.3 million New York seniors. I’m proud to stand with @GovKathyHochul in the fight to protect Medicare and lower the cost of healthcare for all New Yorkers.
It was a pleasure celebrating National Night Out Against Crime with neighbors, local organizations, law enforcement, and first responders in my district. Together, we can keep our communities safe, healthy, and happy. Thank you to our local precincts, @NYPD6Pct, @NYPD10Pct, @NYPDPSA4, @NYPD20Pct, and @NYPD24Pct.
Today is National Coast Guard Day!
@TransportDems are focused on improving quality of live for @USCG servicemembers to ensure they can continue protecting Americans at home and abroad.
The Trump administration is on a mission to strip healthcare coverage from hardworking Americans and deteriorate the quality of care for those Americans who remain on plans covered by the Affordable Care Act. I thank @NewYorkStateAG and @NewJerseyOAG for fighting against unnecessary and harmful changes to the ACA.

Children should never have to face a courtroom alone. The Trump administration must immediately restore the federal contract to provide representation for unaccompanied migrant children. Anything less is cruelty against vulnerable children in America.
“I can surmise they wanted to demonstrate to anti-abortion groups that they were against I.V.F.
It shows how beholden Rs are to the anti-abortion groups, that they would take a position that’s so at odds with their own constituents.”

Every American should have the right to accessible, high-quality, and affordable healthcare. On the 61st anniversary of Medicare, let us remember that just last year Donald Trump and Republicans made the largest ever cuts to Americans’ healthcare when they gutted $1 trillion from Medicaid and kicked 10 million Americans off the program. Now more than ever, we must secure #MedicareForAll.
I am proud to continue the fight for workers' rights with the reintroduction of the Restoring Justice for Workers Act to end forced arbitration in employment contracts. This legislation closes a loophole that employers could use to prevent their employees from seeking justice for employer wrongdoing. Workers deserve the right to advocate for themselves in response to unfair treatment, wage theft, and workplace harassment. I am confident that this bill would empower employees to participate fully and fairly in our workforce, and I thank @PattyMurray & @BobbyScott for their leadership on this issue.
The Restoring Justice for Workers Act would ensure all workers can go to court and band together to vindicate their rights as employees https://t.co/nqXM2Ykhsg

Under Trump we’ve lost upwards of 70,000 manufacturing jobs and unemployment is at 4.6%.
No amount of cringy posts can cover up the state of the job market under this administration.
Too often, new parents are blindsided by unexpected medical bills for their newborn babies due to a gap in insurance or unwieldy technical complications. As a proud champion for families throughout my tenure in Congress, I am proud to reintroduce the 'No Surprise Bills for New Moms Act' to protect new parents from burdensome bills and make sure their focus can stay on having a healthy and happy baby.
