NEWS: This Senate has sent two bills to President Biden’s desk today!
The National Defense Authorization Act
The Water Resources Development Act
PASSED: The Water Resources Development Act (WRDA)!
Passing WRDA unlocks vital water-related projects that drive our economy forward, strengthen waterways, help communities mitigate flood damage, protect fragile ecosystems, and more.
I was proud to deliver important provisions to help the people of Haiti like the Haiti Criminal Collusion Transparency Act to target the gangs and the extension of vital HOPE/HELP trade preferences to boost Haitian apparel production and keep thousands on the job.
I pushed hard to get a strong disaster relief package into this the agreement. I’m glad we got that done.
Communities across America still need help rebuilding from hurricanes, flooding, wildfires, and other disasters that have grown far more powerful because of climate change.
This is great news for our 9/11 first responders:
In the government funding agreement, I was proud to PERMANENTLY secure 9/11 first responder and survivor health funding.

—Reinforce our AI infrastructure and resources
—Expand Tech Hubs Program I helped create with the bipartisan CHIPS & Science Act
The FY25 NDAA passed by the Senate today will strengthen our national security and is now on the way to President Biden’s desk.
The FY25 National Defense Authorization Act will:
—Raise pay for our junior enlisted servicemembers
—Bolster our relationships in the Indo-Pacific to deter aggression by the Chinese Communist Party
—Strengthen our defense industrial base
We will vote on taking up the Social Security Fairness Act to repeal flawed policies that eat away at the benefits of those who've worked as teachers, firefighters, postal workers, or public sector workers.
Retirees deprived of their hard-earned benefits will be watching closely.
Today, I’m taking to the Senate floor with Senator Gary Peters to pass legislation to respond to the reports of drone activity.
It will authorize local authorities to conduct drone detection and help them better coordinate with federal law enforcement.
Americans deserve answers.
The NYC Panel on Education Policy should not eliminate the testing system for specialized high schools.
Derailing the SHSAT would lead to chaos and unfairly deny opportunity to countless students who work so hard with hopes of admission to one of the superb specialized HS’s.
Thanks to Sen. Gillibrand and Rep. Ritchie for working together with me to make this happen.
This is a major step forward in our efforts to keep bad batteries off our streets.
I am proud to announce that I insisted on including a critical piece of legislation in the budget agreement to stop these fires and save lives.
BREAKING NEWS: I have pushed with so many to make our City safe from lithium-ion battery fires that have taken so many New Yorkers' lives.
I am particularly proud that this bill advances some of my key priorities including strong proposals to help the United States out-compete the Chinese Communist Party.
I am pleased these negotiations led to a bipartisan govt funding agreement free of cuts and poison pills, while also securing Democratic priorities like millions for child care, workforce training and job placement, assistance for the Key Bridge rebuild, additional disaster relief funding and more.
With this agreement, we are now on our way to avoiding a government shutdown.
This year’s national defense bill includes bipartisan measures on AI to expand our AI infrastructure and strengthen America’s competition against the Chinese Communist Party in critical and disruptive technologies.
This year’s national defense bill expands the Tech Hubs Program from the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act.
The FY25 NDAA will bolster efforts to transform communities in Upstate New York, the Midwest, and across the country into the next major centers of innovation.
