Today, I hosted a send-off reception for students from the Third Congressional District who will be attending our nation’s service academies: West Point, the Naval Academy, the Air Force Academy, and the Merchant Marine Academy.
As we mark the anniversary of D-Day, it's a reminder that each generation is called to serve in its own way.
These are some of the best and brightest from our district—hardworking, dedicated, and ready to serve our country with pride. I’m grateful for their commitment and excited to see what they accomplish.

@PCRichardandSon so disappointed! Took out the 8 year extended warranty on our Frigidaire Galley refrigerator when we bought it 3 years ago. And the motor broke yesterday. Called for repair. Waited all day for call from tech. Now Told maybe Monday!
@raymourflanigan horrible service. Order one dining chair over two weeks to be picked up at my local store. Told to get it at store but they don’t have it. Still not received and we’re going on over two weeks when should have been 5 days!!!!
@ATT got an email today there was an error with my wireless switcher redemption that I submitted 6 weeks ago. A number was typed wrong on one line. Out of 5! Sent the link to resubmit but now it says it’s past my redemption date. Please help.
@Uber_Support help! I send an electronic gift card to a friend but typed the wrong email. It’s a nonexistent email. Can I change it to the correct one? #loyalcustomer#wemakemistakes
Thank you Francisco Lindor @Lindor12BC. Thank you New York Mets. You never know when you’re going to find a new source of inspiration, and Francisco became that inspiration for me this year. You could see the dedication in his eyes, in his plays - you could even see it in his strikeouts; it wasn’t a case of “couldn’t,” only “didn’t that time.”
My Sphere concerts this summer became games in my mind. Wins were when the music was cooking, when the notes matched the intention, when the zone could be found. Every weekend was a series, and every show was a home game.
When I injured my finger and looked down to see half the nail sheared off and bleeding, my first thought was how to play with the other three fingers. That was what Lindor would have done, and so that’s what I did.
The Mets’ talent makes them aspirational, but their humanity makes them relational. It means that it’s never out of the question what’s being done on that field could be done by you and I in our pursuits, too.
If I had one secret of success to share with you, it’s to pick someone in life you admire and run alongside them. You don’t have to know them to decide that if they can keep going, you can keep going. And the Mets kept going.
I hope that in the next few days, after the disappointment has had its say, that Francisco and the entire team realizes that what they accomplished was enough. Their monumental run was enough to unify a city, bring together families, friends, and remind us all that above all else, nothing is more powerful a force in achieving success than effort. A boring word, “effort.” But it’s the only chance of good becoming great and that greatness taking hold for the long run.
So thank you Francisco Lindor, and thank you to the 2024 Mets for the unbelievable adventure, the inspiration, and the reminder to never give up. It was more than enough.
The Senate just passed the #PACTAct, finally guaranteeing that veterans exposed to toxic burn pits will get the health care they deserve.
Veterans and their families sat on the steps of the Capitol for nearly six days, holding us accountable. This victory belongs to them.
As the bell rings for the start of the 2021-22 academic year we are happy to report our students have returned to their classroom & our campuses. The achievements of the #ClassOf2021 were significant & we share a video look back on a year unlike any other https://t.co/C6XUOfsySE
