Read my statement on my recent appointment to the House Energy and Commerce Committee ⬇️
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 ⬇️
ALT “Today in Marble Hill, ICE agents fired multiple shots at a man in his vehicle while his 5-year-old child was in the back seat. ICE's already unwelcome presence in our city has been growing more escalatory and dangerous by the day. Today's shooting is a grave development that requires a swift and immediate response to protect the safety of all New Yorkers. First, we must have a full and independent investigation of this incident. "There must also be a full and immediate release of all body camera footage of the incident. In addition, the Target Corporation must stop offering their Bronx properties as private staging sites for ICE, in compliance with requests from New York officials. Target opening up large, active retail parking lots for paramilitary activity is unacceptable and places the entire community at risk. ICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency. It does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America. Abolish ICE."
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez retweeted
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.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez retweeted
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.

Big Tech companies like Flock Safety have built a mass surveillance system to harvest Americans’ private and personal data without their consent.
I’m proud to introduce the Ban Flock Act with @SenSanders to enforce our constitutional right to privacy.

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:
NY Dems push bill in Congress to restore healthcare coverage, putting GOP on the spot

Republicans’ OBBBA specifically targeted New York by stripping 450,000 New Yorkers of their health insurance.
I'm proud to introduce the Restoring Essential Plan Coverage Act with @SenSchumer to reinstate federal funding for the Essential Plan and protect our communities.

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.
