This June, during National Gun Violence Awareness Month, I reflect on the lives lost and forever changed by gun violence in our communities. Too many families in NY-05 know this pain firsthand. We must turn awareness into action and pass the reforms needed to keep our neighborhoods safe.

Trump’s travel ban is cruel and bigoted. He is targeting people who do not look like him. America was founded on a society that embraces various cultures and religions. How can we remain a global leader if we close ourselves off to the world? www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-s...

Trump signs travel ban on nationals from 12 countries, restrictions on 7 more

President Trump signed a proclamation to ban travel from certain countries, citing national security risks. It's set to take effect at 12:01 a.m. Monday.

Great seeing @WTO Deputy DG Angela Ellard. US participation in the WTO allows us to shape global rules on trade. The admin should pay our outstanding dues to the WTO & push for reform to advance US interests, so our competitors don't fill the vacuum.

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govJun 5(source)

I wish we could be debating the merits of the CLARITY Act, but the President and his family's egregious crypto conflicts of interest cannot be ignored. youtu.be/k2kfPUG1PU0

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govJun 4(source)

I had a wonderful meeting with Marilyn Galvez, President & General Manager of @ABC7NY! We discussed the importance of highlighting events in #NY05 so families can stay informed about stories happening in Queens.

Republicans' hypocrisy is woven into their horrible budget bill. They claim to be cutting government waste and fraud, but instead are adding $2.4 trillion to the national debt and kicking millions of Americans off of Medicaid. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

GOP bill for Trump's agenda would add $2.4 trillion to the debt over 10 years, budget office says

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office also found that the House-passed legislation would increase the number of people without health insurance by 10.9 million by 2034.

The Trump administration's EMTALA guidance will have deadly consequences to patients whose lives are at risk. Abortion care is healthcare, and abortions save lives. Full stop. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

Trump administration ends emergency abortion requirement for hospitals

The Trump administration rescinded a Biden-era policy requiring hospitals to perform emergency abortions regardless of state abortion laws.

This #PrideMonth, I stand with the LGBTQ+ community to celebrate love, identity, and the ongoing fight for equality. We honor the trailblazers who paved the way and recommit ourselves to building a future where everyone can live openly and authentically—without fear or discrimination.

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govMay 30(source)

Trump’s unelected oligarch buddy created damage that we’ll be working to repair for years to come. America deserves leadership that puts hardworking families first, not their billionaire friends. www.npr.org/2025/05/30/n...

Elon Musk is leaving the federal government. What's next for DOGE?

Elon Musk is leaving the Department of Government Efficiency effort. His 130 day tenure was marked by legal setbacks, overstated savings claims and little evidence DOGE made things more efficient.

Trump is a bully and just wants to be king. @harvard.edu is an institution that has prioritized diversity and academic freedom. This is about retribution, not antisemitism. youtu.be/UR-kJfPTDl4

RM @meeks.house.gov: Trump and Secretary Rubio weaponizing the US government to punish international students for exercising the fundamental right to free speech is something you’d expect in Putin’s Russia—not America. www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Trump team pauses new student visa interviews as it weighs expanding social media vetting

It’s the latest salvo against universities, many of whom rely heavily on foreign students for funds.

Over the weekend, I joined @broadchannelvfd, Laurelton, and Rosedale for their Memorial Day parades. It was a pleasure being in the community to honor servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. #NY05

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govMay 26(source)

I'm deeply saddened by the passing of the Honorable Rep. Charles B. Rangel — the Lion of Lennox Avenue. As a founder of the Congressional Black Caucus and first Black Chair of the Ways and Means Committee, it is on his shoulders that I stand. May he rest in peace. ❤️

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govMay 26(source)

This #MemorialDay, we honor the brave servicemembers who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Their courage and selflessness protected our freedom and helped keep America safe. They will never be forgotten. #NYO5

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govMay 25(source)

Last week, I met with The Heart of Rockaway's Civic Association & Rockaway Deerfield's Civic Association to discuss the devastating Republican slash to Medicaid, SNAP, and Social Security. I want to thank them both for their time and conversation on behalf of the betterment of our community.

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govMay 25(source)

What a great opportunity it was to meet with the NYCHA Tenant Association Presidents. We discussed innovative ways to continue supporting residents and their families in the face of existing challenges. I will continue advocating for diverse and stable housing opportunities.

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govMay 24(source)

I had a wonderful time fellowshipping with ministers and community leaders in Rockaway to discuss the impacts of the horrific Republican budget cuts to Medicaid, SNAP, and other essential services that families rely on. I always appreciate them for their leadership and time.

This week, Republicans tried to jam through their tax scam in the dead of night. Democrats fought back to expose this bill's cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. In today’s Democratic Daily Download, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social explains how we will keep standing up for hardworking American taxpayers.

Rep. Gregory Meeks@meeks.house.govMay 22(source)

Trump doesn’t have the authority to dismantle the Department of Education and abruptly fire federal employees. I applaud the court’s decision to block this executive order. Democrats will continue to fight these flagrant attacks on education. t.co/jiHFeWRLLR
