My colleague Rep. Ritchie Torres and I joined CNBC's Squawk Box this morning to discuss our latest bill, the COLUMBIA Act, to monitor and more effectively combat the rising antisemitism we are seeing on our college campuses.
Last night I attended a House viewing of the new Netflix film about Shirley Chisholm. I was proud to join many of my NY colleagues from both parties to cosponsor Rep. Barbara Lee’s bill to posthumously award a Congressional Gold Medal to Chisholm, a trailblazer and inspiration.
.Rep. Pat Ryan and I led a bipartisan letter demanding the MTA offer the same discounts to all riders that they’re currently only carving out for New York City residents, while also committing to infrastructure upgrades across our communities. Our residents deserve nothing less.
I was proud to join my colleague Congressman Jared Moskowitz on Morning Joe this morning to discuss my bipartisan Antisemitism Awareness Act. Congress must lead in this moment, and I look forward to seeing this bill pass by a broad, bipartisan margin.
