While Trump continues to call affordability a hoax, families are paying on average 26% more for gifts this holiday season. Instead of denying the reality of inflation, the president & Republicans must join us in delivering real solutions that actually lower costs for Americans.

While Trump and the GOP dismiss the affordability crisis as a “con job” and a “scam,” I’m working hard to lower costs, support first responders, and deliver federal investments for our Capital Region communities. Read more in this week’s newsletter: https://t.co/wEDIBwAZ4S

This administration continues to ignore decades of proven science to push their own anti-vaccine agenda. The result of this backwards decision will be countless babies who contract lifelong, deadly diseases. Facts—not politics—need to shape our healthcare.

Great to be in Albany this morning alongside @MayorSheehan to check out the progress being made on the new Albany South Recreation Center - a project I’ve been proud to support through federal funding from the American Rescue Plan and the Community Project Funding process!

This week, for the first time since the 1980s, the U.S. did not commemorate #WorldAIDSDay. That's simply wrong. Now and always, I’ll honor the millions lost to HIV, and fight to restore funding for research, prevention & care—because #CutsKill and our communities deserve better.

Just in: @EnergyCommerce advanced my legislation that supports weatherization efforts and brings down home energy costs for families. Let’s get this bill passed at once to ensure utilities are more affordable for Americans as we enter the winter months. https://t.co/wPLtYnFXyw

Heartbroken by the tragic passing last week of Torben and Jean Aabo. They were both fixtures in Saratoga. I was lucky enough to know Torben through his dedicated work as president of the Charlton Historical Society and later of the Charlton Seniors. The love that both of them

Our region is home to countless small businesses that deliver vibrancy, jobs, and economic opportunity. In my latest newsletter, I highlight the huge benefit of these establishments, and why we must support them this Small Business Saturday & every day. https://t.co/uRVrwXZIRv

Happy Thanksgiving! Today and every day, I am grateful for the honor of representing our great Capital Region. Wishing everyone a cheerful holiday filled with friends, family, and good food!

Thanks to Trump’s tariffs, businesses like this one are paying higher prices for the products that make them special. So this #SmallBusinessSaturday, be sure to #ShopSmall and help our local businesses continue to serve our Capital Region and all who call it home!

Today, I stopped by DeFazio’s at 216, the newest location of South Troy’s famous DeFazio’s Pizzeria, to help make fresh pasta and to find out more about how Trump’s inflationary policies are impacting operations at this Capital Region staple.

With tariffs and other market pressures threatening the survival of our beloved local retailers, it’s more important than ever to #ShopSmall this holiday season and support our Capital Region’s small business community!

Today, ahead of Small Business Saturday, I was proud to stop by Saratoga Chocolate Co. in downtown Saratoga Springs to lend a hand with holiday packaging and learn more about how Trump’s destructive tariffs are hurting locally owned businesses like this one.

While Republicans look the other way, families nationwide are paying hundreds of dollars more for basic necessities. That’s why I’m fighting to lower home energy costs and deliver real relief for working Americans. Read more in this latest newsletter: https://t.co/LVxU7ijSKX

Republicans have spent the last decade and a half working to defund & repeal affordable health care, yet in all that time, they’ve never had a solution to replace these programs with something better. That needs to end. The American people deserve action to bring down costs now.

On #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance, we honor the memories of those whose lives were cut short by anti-trans violence. With my colleagues in the @EqualityCaucus, I am committed to standing against hate and fighting for justice, dignity, & safety for every American.

Today, @SEEC, @NewDemCoalition, @USProgressives leaders @DorisMatsui, @RepPaulTonko, @RepMikeQuigley, @RepSchneider, & @Ilhan released a joint statement on the current status of permitting reform negotiations in Congress. 🧵(1/8)

Trump could release the Epstein files TODAY if he wanted to. Instead, he spent months trying and failing to cow Republicans into stopping a vote. After that failed intimidation, the House is finally voting to release the files today. I will be voting YES.

I’ve attended many naturalization ceremonies during my years in Congress. They’re heart-warming celebrations marking the final step in the long pathway to citizenship. Leaving would-be Americans in the lurch with no explanation is as stupid as it is cruel. https://t.co/1r3M8LXa4m
