Now they want to offer a $500 check to make up for skyrocketing healthcare costs.

There is nothing quite like the joy of welcoming new life into the world.
Wishing you and your growing family a lifetime of love, laughter, good health, and
Like countless Americans, I know the fear, heartbreak, and uncertainty that follows a prostate cancer diagnosis devastatingly well – I felt it myself when my own father received his diagnosis. As we mark the end of this Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and as countless families
Today marks 50 years of harm, hardship, and uncertainty under the Hyde Amendment. Since its adoption in 1976, the Hyde Amendment has relentlessly and brutally restricted a woman's right to make her own healthcare decisions. Its vile legacy can be seen in the countless women it
While there is no shortage of cruelties lurking in the laws of this nation, the Hyde Amendment is particularly sickening because its negative impacts are felt mostly by those with the least. For half a century, it has blocked low-income Americans from having access to insurance
Systemic injustice does not occur spontaneously. It is born in the cruel and controlling hearts of politicians who steal our power and pretend it is their own. As Members of Congress, we have a moral responsibility to stop the Hyde Amendment before it reaches one more year and

Throwing money at the American people, cannot be a Band-Aid for a gaping wound they created. Families need affordable healthcare, not a one-time payout.
Our families deserve better.

Like countless Americans, I know the fear, heartbreak, and uncertainty that follows a prostate cancer diagnosis devastatingly well – I felt it myself when my own father received his diagnosis. As we mark the end of this Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, and as countless families across America struggle to face such an unbearable pain, we must recommit to building a nation where no family ever does again. I introduced the PSA Screening for Him Act to make prostate cancer screenings more accessible by waiving deductibles, copayments, and coinsurances for certain individuals at high risk of developing prostate cancer, because defeating this disease starts with detecting it.

Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder was a tragedy, and anyone who says otherwise has no place in public service.
However, I will not pretend to respect the harmful ideologies he proudly held, nor will I honor a man who built a career out of dishonoring Americans like me.
I voted no.
Jimmy Kimmel’s firing was an absurd abuse of power – that’s why I joined with @repfrankpallone to demand an FCC Oversight hearing IMMEDIATELY so we can have an opportunity to hold Chairman Brendan Carr accountable for weaponizing the FCC against free speech and expression.
Trump is hellbent on whitewashing the African American experiences in this country. No matter how many signs or exhibits this administration removes from our nation’s museums or national parks, our history will not be silenced.
The American people have a right to know history in its entirety: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly — and we have it all. History will record the fact that, on the orders of Donald Trump in the year 2025, all these historical artifacts were removed to distort the past to appease denialists.
As we mark the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, please join me in celebrating our beloved Latino neighbors!
Now more than ever, they deserve to know how deeply we value their cultures and contributions.
Now more than ever, they deserve to know we will always stand with them.
Donald Trump and the Republican Party are determined to drag this country back to a time when Black voices were shut out of the democratic process.
We will not allow it.
The stakes are far too high.
And this fight is far from over.
As we pause today to remember the lives lost on #September11th – a day that forever changed our city, our nation, and the way we live – join me in honoring the first responders, families, and communities who experienced unimaginable loss.
Like all proud daughters of New York City, I will never forget where I was on that fateful day, and the countless stories of bravery and unity that emerged from such a dark moment in time.
Wishing all of our city’s students, parents, teachers, and faculty a very happy First Day of School!
Another year, another special West Indian Day Parade alongside our dear friends and neighbors from across the diaspora!
Our cultures and communities are unlike any others, and that is why I am truly blessed to call myself a woman of Caribbean descent.
One Love, everybody!
