The FAA rolled out a new AI tool for air traffic control in DC without publishing a safety evaluation or sufficiently consulting labor. @RepAprilDelaney and I are urging the FAA to stop the rollout until we have answers. Air traffic control leaves zero margin for error.

On this Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate the endless and bountiful contributions of Native people. Let us continue to center their voices and wisdom, and staunchly advocate for their community and land prosperity, especially as it relates to climate change.

For years, the Trump admin has launched slanderous attacks against Rep. Omar. This morning, the administration sent federal officials to raid her home. We cannot and will not accept this unprecedented abuse of power. I stand with @Ilhan.

This farm in upstate New York almost had a data center move in right next door, but then NY got the first statewide data center moratorium in the country. We went with @AOC and @GovKathyHochul to talk to farmers who are thrilled the data center wasn't built, and who are still on alert for what happens when the moratorium expires.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed. This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities. Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery. Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children. Abolish ICE.

On Tuesday, @GovKathyHochul @RepPatRyanNY and I had the opportunity to speak with farming communities and spotlight a New York State moratorium on data center construction. We must hold Big Tech companies accountable for maintaining our air, water, and climate quality.

Three of my bills were heard at @SchomburgCenter on 9/28. It was incredible to see the outpouring of solidarity from our NYC diaspora. 🇵🇷🇵🇷 Thank you to @RepAOC for voicing your support, alongside all the amazing organizations and leaders who testified.

NEWS: I am proud to introduce the Restoring Essential Plan Coverage Act with @RepAOC. This bill would reverse Donald Trump's funding cuts to the NY Essential Plan and restore health care coverage for hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers.  Donald Trump will stop at nothing to rip insurance away from as many people as possible. @RepAOC and I have a plan to beat him:

Settlers are driving Palestinians from their homes in a violent land grab. Sanctions can stop it. I'm introducing legislation—alongside Reps. Dean, Beyer, Casar, Jacobs, Escobar—that imposes sanctions against anyone looking to take Palestinian land in the West Bank or Gaza. Under the Stop the Settlements Act, anyone pursuing settlements can’t do business with the United States. In addition, thank you to all of the my colleagues who are co-sponsoring this bill: Rep.

On Friday, an explosion in central Athens took the lives of 6 people, including 4 New Yorkers. I am sending my deepest condolences to the families of Florin Hoxha, Eris Cani, Ian Kirkpatrick, Florida Hoxha, and all our NY-14 constituents impacted by this tragedy.

Additional flooding information: 1️⃣ If you live in a basement apartment, relocate to a higher location. 2️⃣If you see a downed tree or a clogged catch basin, report it at nyc.gov/311. 3️⃣If your property was damaged, report it at reportdamage.nyc.gov

As heavy rain and flooding continues to impact our city, it's important to monitor the latest forecasts and avoid unnecessary travel. If you must travel, never walk/drive into flooded areas and sign up for @NotifyNYC to receive emergency notifications. Stay safe, NY-14.
