They are terrified. I support the President’s efforts to secure the border and deport violent criminals—but this is going too far. Hondurans who have been living legally in the U.S. for over 25 years, working and paying taxes, are now being threatened with deportation on September 8th.
I think we can all agree that transparency is a good thing. I don’t know how anybody could be against that.

Watch my full interview on Face the Nation. Cutting Medicaid and food assistance programs for Americans most in need is unacceptable, especially when at the same time we’re cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans and blowing up the deficit. The math just doesn’t add up. youtu.be/nGykGfJtv7g?...

June is National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month. Today, as we commemorate the 81st anniversary of the D-Day Invasion, let us reflect on the reality that over 7% of our veterans may develop PTSD.
Lest we forget. On June 6, 1944, 156,000 American, British, and Canadian troops launched the largest amphibious assault in history on the beaches of Normandy—a pivotal moment in World War II that helped turn the tide against tyranny.
Wishing everyone celebrating a joyous and blessed Eid al-Adha! May this special day bring you peace, happiness, and prosperity with your loved ones. May your sacrifices be valued and your prayers answered.
Like so many Long Islanders, I grew up with the music of the Piano Man. I was fortunate to get to know Billy Joel over 30 years ago, when I was mayor of Glen Cove. His songs remind us why we’re proud to be in a “New York state of mind.” Wishing Billy a swift and full recovery.
I want everyone to understand the basics of the State and Local Tax deduction (SALT). Please watch my testimony at the Rules Committee today as I introduce an amendment to raise the SALT cap to $80,000. youtu.be/qY6XBmzoM4E?...

Watch my video: President Trump and Speaker Johnson are pushing for their "big beautiful bill" to be debated in the rules committee tonight, in the dead of night. What do they not want the press to cover and you to know? youtube.com/shorts/E7j4U...

This is absurd! Buried in the 400-page bill, dropped late Monday and debated in an all nighter last night, is a $1.4 billion dollar cut in the fees to buy and register a silencer!! youtu.be/e684TFDqZ7o?...

There’s lots of talk about negotiations over the SALT deduction, so I made it simple. I just proposed an increase to a $80,000 SALT deduction cap. Americans don’t deserve to be taxed on the taxes they have already paid. youtu.be/eNvNL4s0rxE?...

In my opening remarks at today’s Ways and Means Mark-Up, I highlight Republicans who have correctly noted the deficit as a problem. Now, even the committee’s expert is noting that the GOP reconciliation bill will explode the deficit. Not good. youtu.be/kUxnw41Sz5M?...

Watch this for a textbook example of Republican leadership ignoring common-sense questions about tax cuts for the wealthiest, breaking President Trump’s promises on SALT and dramatically increasing the deficit while cutting healthcare for the most vulnerable. youtu.be/TiqsZ_ObBdM?...

Welcome home, Edan! I am truly grateful to hear that, after over 584 days in captivity, you are being returned from Hamas captivity. www.npr.org/2025/05/12/g...

The Republicans have been reckless at every turn. They have irresponsibly cut vital programs and laid off employees. This reckless approach has slowed our economy and caused chaos in the markets. youtu.be/RRTqfxcmBjo?...

Tariffs can be suitable in certain situations, but they must be implemented responsibly and not recklessly. Enacting them without a clear plan creates uncertainty for businesses and causes significant financial harm. www.longislandpress.com/2025/05/05/b...
