đź’°We secured over $13 million in federal funding for community projects across the #MA7. So far we've brought home over $35 million to build a more just & equitable district. I'm proud to partner with municipalities & grassroots orgs to continue delivering for our communities.

The healthcare crisis Trump and Republicans have created will be devastating for families in the #MA7. Here's how:

Paul Dama's abduction left behind a painful void in the #MA7. His release is a powerful reminder of what is possible when our community comes together, rallies behind a beloved neighbor, & stands firm in the face of Trump & ICE’s shameful reign of terror. Welcome home, Paul.

For too long, Black women have been the last hired & the first fired. The systemic pushout of Black women from the paid workforce is a red flag for our economy and devastating for Black women, Black families, and Black futures. https://t.co/qNG4KCD0HD

It's absolutely illegal for Trump to fire dedicated federal workers. We're in the midst of a shutdown HE created that’s hurting military families, federal workers, & everyone in America. This isn’t over. We'll see him in court.

Cruel and cowardly. Republicans are canceling votes yet again instead of working with Democrats to re-open the government. They'd rather stay on vacation than stand with families, release the Epstein Files, and address the healthcare crisis they created.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights.

Federal contractors—including custodial & food service workers—are being screwed by this Republican shutdown. And unlike federal employees, they have no assurance they'll receive backpay when Republicans reopen the govt. Our bill would ensure these workers are not left behind.

WIC is a lifeline that helps new parents keep their babies fed. But thanks to Republicans' government shutdown, WIC funds could run out in a matter of weeks. Republicans must re-open the government NOW and stop playing with people's lives. https://t.co/UecAXGWAuT

Nearly seven million pregnant women and young children depend on WIC for healthy foods. Advocates say funding could run out in about two weeks, leaving states to close the gap if their budgets allow.

Latinas earn only 51 cents for every dollar earned by white, non-Hispanic men. This wage gap isn't just unfair, it's an injustice, and Latinas deserve equal pay for equal work. #LatinaEqualPayDay

As a former hotel worker & unpaid Congressional intern, I know what it is to live paycheck-to-paycheck. This Republican-manufactured shutdown is harming everyone, including our federal contractors who aren't guaranteed backpay when the govt reopens. Our bill would change that.

One week into this shameful Republican government shutdown, I'm thinking of: The grandmother already skipping meals to pay for her prescriptions. The young mom who won't be able to afford her child's asthma inhaler. And the federal contractor who may not see a paycheck at all.

Yeah, no. The law is clear: federal workers must receive back pay. AND I have a bill to ensure federal contractors get it as well.

Abortion care is safe and essential. The FDA got this right, abortion medication should be available to everyone who needs it. In this dire landscape of restrictions & bans, we won’t let up until everyone can get the care they seek.
