I am horrified by the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. My heart breaks for the young victims, students, faculty, families, and everyone impacted. No one should fear for their life at school or in a place of worship. This senseless violence needs to.

The President's decision to interfere with the Federal Reserve will hurt workers and small businesses everywhere. Politics aside, this will make your groceries and rent more expensive and shrink your 401K.
The dollar weakened against every major peer after President Donald Trump moved to oust Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook from her post, denting sentiment toward the world’s reserve currency

Women’s Equality Day honors the 19th amendment, which granted women the right to vote. As a proud member of the @DemWomenCaucus, my colleagues and I carry the legacies of the brave women who fought for this right with us as we fight for women and girls every day.

Public broadcasting stations are essential for many communities across America. We must work together to fund these stations and protect them from harmful cuts.

The Knight Foundation and other top organizations are aiming to provide $50 million to stabilize the stations most at risk from the recent federal government funding cuts.

Every family should be able to afford to send their kids back to school with everything they need. This year, school supplies will cost them 7.3% more. The GOP promised to make life more affordable. Instead, they are making it harder to afford the basics at the expense of our

I introduced my Ban Harmful Food Dyes Act to end the use of dangerous dyes and petroleum-based additives that have no place in our food. Food safety should be a commonsense issue. I’m ready to work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle and the Administration to make this

Thousands of Korean Americans have been separated from their loved ones in North Korea since the Korean War. This is a deep source of pain for families that have been waiting to reunite for decades. Ahead of South Korean President Lee’s visit next week, @maziehirono,

This Administration promised to bring prices down, but the reckless tariffs are increasing costs—and we have the data to prove it. Our trade policy shouldn’t make it harder to put food on the table or buy essential goods.

Here's what new data from the producer price index says about where inflation is headed, according to economists.

Violence like this has no place in Queens. As the investigation into this incident continues, my thoughts are with the detective injured in this senseless shooting. I am grateful to the law enforcement & first responders at the scene who apprehended the suspect & continue to.

Medicaid money goes to our hospitals and community health centers. Everyone benefits from access to high-quality, affordable health care in our communities. I will not stop fighting for Medicaid. Not now, not ever.

One year ago this week, Hamas murdered six Israeli hostages, including dual US-Israel citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin. As we honor their memories, we think about the 50 hostages remaining in Hamas captivity. We must do everything we can to #BringThemHome now.

My bipartisan Hot Foods Act has 83 supporters in Congress. Democrats and Republicans increasingly agree: Americans should be able to use their SNAP benefits to buy hot and prepared foods, like rotisserie chicken. Let’s make it federal law!.

The changes would allow for prepared foods to be purchased by SNAP recipients and exclude processed foods and sodas.

Voting by mail has been and always will be a safe and secure way to cast your ballot. It is essential to our democracy. Any attempt to restrict it is an attack on our voting rights—and I’ll always stand up against efforts that make it harder for Americans to vote.
Breaking News: President Trump said he would lead a movement to eliminate mail-in ballots and that he wanted to get rid of voting machines. Trump has long opposed mail-in voting, though Republicans made electoral gains in 2024 by embracing the practice.

The first hurricane of the season is upon us, with weather impacts possible along the east coast this week. While it isn’t expected to make landfall in NYC, be sure to monitor weather alerts and updates from local officials.
Erin is expected to produce life-threatening surf and rip currents along the beaches of much of the east coast of the U.S. during the next several days. Beachgoers in those areas should follow advice from lifeguards, local authorities, and beach warning flags.
