Congressman for #NY16. Life long educator. Former middle school principal. Causing good trouble. Fighting for jobs and education, not bombs and incarceration.
Spo on Jalen Brunson (41 points in Game 6): “How’s that dude not an All-Star or All-NBA?…He should be on one of those teams. I wish he were still out West. Man you gotta respect him as a competitor…He’s got an iron will. There’s something about these Villanova guys, they’re as…Show more
weighs in on my bill to ban legacy admissions:

Immigrants make our nation strong. They’re the lifeblood of our culture and economy.
The lies, hate, and fearmongering have to stop. We need to create pathways to citizenship and provide care to people coming here.
The United States of America is the only country in the world that continues to put guns over the lives of kids in classrooms, worshippers at a church/synagogue, shoppers at a mall, patients in a hospital, customers at a bank, people in a movie theater & fans at a concert. 1/
Didn't we learn our lesson in 2016?
CNN has a responsibility to tell the truth. But last night's town hall was nothing but a platform for fascist lies.
Title 42 ends today. I wish we could pause to celebrate the ending of this problematic policy and create a plan to provide supports that asylum-seekers need, but instead our Republican-led Congress has brought one of the most extreme and cruel immigration bills to the floor 🧵
If you don’t care about our kids, you don’t care about our country. Republicans are okay with our kids suffering and dying for the sake of politics.
We need the right people in office to actually get to work on the issues that we all care about.
It was an honor to get the opportunity to ride Air Force One on the way to Westchester Community College with President Biden.
I do it for NY-16 today and always!

is marking up a resolution that would eliminate student debt relief for 43 million eligible borrowers.
Let’s be clear: student debt holders are not the “elite.”
90% of student debt relief is going to borrowers earning below $75,000 per year.
for quite a while.
Her brilliant work was one of the inspirations for my Emergency Price Stabilization Act, which I will soon reintroduce.
Glad to see Isabella getting the recognition she deserves.

The level of antisemitism and pro-Hitler views on the Republican side is just out of control and beyond belief - and should be a much bigger story. And of course the Trumps are deep into it...
This is my Texas. Where saving lives isn’t a Democratic or Republican issue. Where legislators put aside differences to find common ground. Where working together we can solve our problems.
The UAW is putting the Big Three automakers and Washington DC on notice: the electric vehicle transition must not become a race to the bottom.
Let's get back in the fight.

“Let’s stop treating the GOP as the party of law and order and treat them, more accurately, as the party of gun violence, of school shootings, of mall massacres... For God’s sake, ban the damn AR-15.”
