180K Puerto Rican households are going days at a time without running water, during the hottest months on record.

This crisis is the result of years of federal neglect & mismanagement.

@RepAOC & I are demanding the nearly $30B in disaster aid sitting in limbo be released now.

[Congresswoman Delia C. Ramirez @repdeliaramirez]

I am proud to stand with @RepAOC and @SenSanders in reintroducing the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act!

The Green New Deal for Public Housing is a bold solution to our housing crisis, securing the future of our public housing, prioritizing climate and racial justice, and strengthening our economy and labor force.

[Climate & Community Institute @cplusci]

The Green New Deal for Public Housing is back on the table. Our report with @urbandemos and @ActionLabNY shows how the bill would transform housing in New York, greening and modernizing public housing while building affordable, tenant-controlled homes at scale.

[Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Union @IUBAC]

We urge Congress to act quickly to enact the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act that tackles the housing crisis in part by mandating fair wages, benefits, and labor standards as a requirement for funding public housing upgrades. - @Tdriscollbac

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Congress must put forward bold solutions to ensure housing is affordable & resilient.

Today, I'm reintroducing the Green New Deal for Public Housing Act with @SenSanders & @repdeliaramirez to repair U.S. public housing stock while creating hundreds of thousands of union jobs.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Day in District POV: Come with me as I meet with Dr. Helen Arteaga, New York City’s Deputy Mayor for Health and Human Services, to develop a strategy to protect and expand health care in New York City.

1 in 8 young people personally know someone who has been the target of deepfake nudes.

The DEFIANCE Act stands to give those survivors a chance to seek justice.

Whether my name is on the bill or not, we must not allow sexual predators to run amok. We must pass DEFIANCE.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

This summer, my office launched our first ever Summer Reading Challenge for constituents in New York-14.

Today, I got to read to our future leaders and talk with them about how we can build community and community power.

Thank you @NYPL for hosting us today!

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

There is pervasive corruption across our healthcare and agricultural systems that defy party lines.

I meet with MAHA activists because a lot of their concerns are bipartisan issues that major corporations paint as partisan.

The fight isn't left and right, it's top and bottom.

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Yesterday, I joined @NYCParks in College Point to observe the removal of abandoned vessels and debris in Flushing Bay.

I’m proud to have secured over $1 million in federal funding to advance their critical work to restore our community waterways.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

Proud to lead a statement with 10 of my colleagues to condemn the State Department’s attack on Americans’ free speech rights and collective punishment of Cubans:

“Trump appears hellbent on taking America back 70 years to the height of Cold War McCarthyism, when hawkish foreign policy was paired with unsubstantiated accusations of communist subversion and political repression against dissidents at home.

“Trump has repeatedly threatened to take over Cuba and has deployed U.S. military ships to seize fuel vessels attempting to arrive on the island. And yet, in an Orwellian move, this administration now claims it is Cuba carrying out the ‘assault’ against the United States, by turning ‘Americans into instruments of their own nation's undoing.’

“We condemn this report’s attack on Americans’ constitutional rights to free speech and assembly. We denounce this administration’s irresponsible attacks against civil society organizations, activists, journalists, labor leaders, Members of Congress, elected officials, and private individuals based on their advocacy for peaceful foreign policy and social justice at home.

“And we stand firmly against this report and other efforts by the Trump Administration to weaponize the federal government against dissent, which is a patriotic tradition. We commit to using our full oversight power as Members of Congress and elected officials to stop the persecution of Trump’s perceived political enemies. 

“Trump and Secretary Rubio are intensifying decades of economic war against the very people they say they want to help—all while attacking Americans who oppose the policy. The U.S. blockade deliberately deprives the entire island’s population of adequate food, fuel, and medicine. It is past time for Trump to obey the Constitution and end the dangerous, cruel and illegal naval blockade causing collective punishment against Cuba.”

[Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @RepAOC]

Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF.

This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy.

Every member of Congress must vote NO.
