Democrats lowered internet bills by up to $75 a month through President Biden's Affordable Connectivity
Program.

Now, extreme MAGA Republicans are trying to raise internet costs for working families.

I am committed to lowering everyday costs and expanding access to the internet.

Had a great conversation with Lina Khan today about the impact of corporate consolidation on small businesses and the need for anti-trust policy that ensures small firms can compete.

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and deserve a level playing field!

Today is .

On this day, we remember the six million Jews who perished during the Holocaust and honor their memories by continuing to tell their stories.

We must also recommit ourselves to combatting hate and anti-Semitism in whatever form it may take.

Thank you to FDNY for your swift response to this Bushwick fire, which undoubtedly saved lives, and to RedCross for their assistance.

My thoughts and prayers are with those injured & displaced.

My office stands ready to assist the victims of this fire.

In 2021, I led 37 of my colleagues in calling on the U.S. EPA to fix the 2015 Coal Ash Rule, which allowed utilities to pollute communities by dumping coal ash.

I applaud the Biden admin for addressing gaps in the rule and ushering in more environmental justice for our communities.

I’m devastated to hear of the passing of my friend and colleague, Congressman Donald Payne, Jr.

He was a true public servant committed to representing his constituents to the fullest.

My prayers are with his family.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to tour the NYCSBUS depot in Greenpoint with Yvette D. Clarke.

It was great to see how the Biden administration's investments are funding clean electric school buses right here in Brooklyn!

Passover commemorates the Jewish people’s journey to freedom, a story of finding hope to overcome oppression.
