Because of Donald Trump's reckless funding cuts, the USDA will no longer collect and publish statistics on food insecurity across the U.S. Instead of finding a way to end hunger as we know it, he's more concerned about making his rich friends even richer. You deserve better.
The right to free speech isn't conditional, and Americans deserve to know their fundamental right is protected no matter what. Jimmy Kimmel's show returned last night in an important win, but millions were still unable to watch because Sinclair and Nexstar took him off the air.
The shooting in Dallas is horrifying. My thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones, and I'm grateful for the first responders' swift action. No one in America should live in fear of targeted violence. We must come together to stop this rising tide.
American Rock Salt is one of the leading suppliers for the entire northeast Snow Belt region, helping communities like ours get through winter conditions. I stopped by their facility today to talk about their important work.
I joined International Paper's Rochester team for a tour of their container plant and to discuss the challenges facing the manufacturing sector. As a global leader, they're working to provide packaging solutions that protect goods using renewable materials.
Join me live with Evan Dawson on @wxxirochester.bsky.social’s Connections today at 1:00pm! As we start the new school year, I'll be joined by ROC The Future’s Brian Lewis to discuss our ongoing work to support early childhood education in our community.
Oak Orchard is a lifeline for so many families in our community, providing comprehensive healthcare for neighbors in rural and agricultural communities. Grateful to spend some time with their team in Brockport today and discuss how we can support their critical work.
Proud to celebrate a $4.2 million investment in high-speed, affordable internet access in our community with County Executive Bello & the City of Rochester. This means more children can complete their work online, seniors can access telehealth, & businesses can compete in a digital economy.
Rochester is at the core of optics in America. I joined AmeriCOM USA today to discuss how we can keep our community and our country at the forefront of this industry. I will continue to fight for strong investment in optics research, manufacturing, and workforce development.
We’re fighting for affordable groceries and healthcare—real help for our constituents. Republicans control the House, Senate, and White House. They have the power to pass a budget. If the government shuts down on October 1, the responsibility lies with them—and it shows what they truly value.
Throughout my career, I have proudly stood alongside unions, and I will continue to support their work to uplift workers and families. Great to be with familiar faces yesterday at SMART Local 46's annual clambake!
When I served in Albany, people would lose their minds if we finished the state budget late. But here in Washington, Congress has only met its deadline once in the last 25 years. The federal budget process is broken—and I'm working with my @democrats-appropriations.house.gov colleagues to fix it.
After the vote, I took a few moments to speak about my thought process and how, in the end, I decided to vote “yes.” I look forward to working with all my colleagues on policies to reject violence and restore civility to our politics.
