While New York already has a strong universal background check law, only a federal law like the Bipartisan Background Checks Act would reduce the flow of guns trafficked into New York from other states.

The Act would ensure a background check is performed before all firearm purchases.
Over 80 percent of guns traced at crime scenes in New York by the ATF originate from out of state, including states that allow private gun sales without a background check.
Following the devastating mass shooting in Midtown Manhattan last month, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, @mikethompson.house.gov, and I led NY House Democrats in a letter calling on NY Republicans to support the Bipartisan Background Checks Act.

I will continue fighting against Trump’s careless cuts that threaten their programming to help New Yorkers in need.
It was great to meet with @NYCommonPantry’s Executive Director Stephen Grimaldi and Deputy Director Judy Secon today. We discussed food insecurity, the rising cost of groceries thanks to Trump’s tariffs, and the important work they are doing.
I applaud this lawsuit to force ICE’s operations out of the shadows and finally hold them accountable. I will continue fighting to shine a light on the actions the Trump Administration is trying so hard to hide.
ICE refused to let me in when I tried to visit 26 Federal Plaza. It’s clear as day ICE doesn’t want the public to see the true condition of their detention facilities.
NEW: A Peruvian immigrant filed a potential class-action lawsuit against ICE over conditions at 26 Federal Plaza.
The suit said migrants sleep on the floor, lack access to legal counsel and are subjected to a “horrific stench” emanating from toilets.

This is deeply troubling and we all know there is no basis for any investigation. I stand with AG James who has been a leader in NY and across the country for holding Trump accountable to the tune of $450 million for his record of corporate fraud.
Prosecuting your political opponents is what a dictator does, not what the President of the United States instructs his Administration to do. It’s clear that the lengths Trump will go to enact revenge against those who hold him accountable knows no bounds.
Trump weaponizing the power of the Justice Department to investigate @NewYorkStateAG James is despicable.
Slashing this funding, especially just days after a mass shooting, is reckless, dangerous, and a shameful abandonment of the federal government’s duty to protect the American people.
On September 11th, we lost nearly 3,000 souls in the deadliest terrorist attack in our nation’s history. That day taught us that constant vigilance is essential.
It is unconscionable that Trump is putting his grudge against New York ahead of the safety of 8.5 million people by slashing terrorism-prevention and public safety funding for New York City, the country’s highest-risk terrorism target.
Community Health Centers are pillars of our community that provide accessible, high quality care and the Big Ugly Law threatens their work. I will continue to do everything I can to repeal the Big Ugly Law — healthcare is a right, not a privilege.
Today, as we mark National Health Center week, I joined @ryanhealthnyc.bsky.social for their Health & Resource fair and met with staff, doctors, and nurses at @forfamilyhealth.bsky.social.
The Constitution is plain and simple: “whole number of persons.”
Trump's xenophobia also includes trying to end birthright citizenship which, again, is unconstitutional and has long been settled.
The President not only thinks he's above the law, but also above the U.S. Constitution.
This is wholly unconstitutional. The Constitution mandates a census every ten years that counts every single person in the country, regardless of their citizenship status. When Trump tried to do this in 2020, the courts flat out rejected it.
It’s long past time for Congress to pass this vital bill to protect the voting rights of all Americans.
Today, we celebrate the 60th anniversary of President Johnson signing the Voting Rights Act into law.
But, the fight still isn’t over. In 2021 I was proud to lead House passage of the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.
I will continue to do everything I can until we repeal this dangerous law and protect Americans. #WeWillNotStandby
