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.

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!

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.

Yesterday, I joined @nycparks.bsky.social 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.

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.

Today I asked if any Congressmember on @energycommerce.bsky.social would want to live next to a data center. The silence in the hearing room reflected the realities of working people across the country. We must address the real, dangerous health impacts of data centers on our communities.

Pharmaceutical companies, like AbbVie and AstraZeneca, abuse the U.S. patent system to monopolize the drug market and prevent patients from accessing affordable drugs. We must develop more stringent standards that reward real innovation and crack down on corporate profiteering.

The Supreme Court is facing a major corruption crisis. I'm proud to introduce the High Court Gift Ban Act, with @raskin.house.gov and @lujan.senate.gov, to remove the influence of dark money from our nation’s highest judicial body. We must safeguard the sanctity of our democracy.

Israel must release pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, who has been held without charge for 18 months and now faces an imminent threat to his life from torture. Israel must end the targeting of health workers and the inhumane treatment of Palestinians in arbitrary detention.

I am devastated by the death of Tibetan freedom activist Lobga Rangzen. As we mourn his loss, we continue to fight for human rights in Tibet and across the globe. My heart is with his loved ones and our entire Tibetan community in NY-14.

As America marks 250 years, may we recommit to building a diverse democracy, an economy that works for the many and not just the few, and a future where every generation has the opportunity to live a dignified life. Happy 4th of July!

Today marks four years since the Supreme Court ended the constitutional right to abortion. Now, reproductive freedoms are under sustained attack across the country, regularly endangering the lives of those in need of care. We must protect reproductive health care at all costs.

NYCHA Tenant Associations play a vital role in advocating for residents on issues like housing conditions, safety, and tenant rights. It was great to connect with our NYCHA TA Presidents to discuss priorities for our community in the year ahead.

Juneteenth reminds us that freedom is hard fought, but guaranteed when we organize and refuse to back down. The work is not done. Today, we celebrate Black American resistance and resilience, and recommit to the transformation required to deliver real equity and justice for all.
