Someone like George Santos should not have security clearance

  Team, George Santos lied, stole, and cheated his way into a seat in Congress. Now, he has access to top-secret national security information as a representative. But I’m doing everything in my power to stop him. Up until now, Speaker Kevin McCarthy has refused to condemn George S…

My friend, Hakeem

  I’m always proud to be a New Yorker, but I’m especially proud that I share a home state with my colleague, friend, and the new House Minority Leader, Hakeem Jeffries. Hakeem is a true public servant and a leader who is ready to meet the moment and guide us toward success for 2023…

George Santos

  Folks, one of the first things I learned as a cadet at West Point was our honor code: "A cadet will not lie, cheat, or steal, or tolerate those who do." Well, Republican congressman-elect George Santos has been accused of doing all three of those things: He lied about his work ex…

The far-right is coming after reproductive freedom

  I ran for Congress on a pledge to protect and defend reproductive health care access. After the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, I heard from so many people who were concerned about access to reproductive health care. Regressive policies passed by states across the country a…

Freedom includes the right to choose
