Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to the belief that our struggles are connected and that justice belongs to everyone.
To me, he was an adviser and a friend. To America, he was a moral compass. Rest in peace, Reverend. Keep hope alive.

Today, I joined thousands of New Yorkers to demand justice for Renee Nicole Good.
From Minneapolis to Manhattan, our message is the same: No Wars, No Kings, and NO ICE in our communities.
If Trump’s aggression in the Caribbean is about drugs, why did he just seize an oil tanker?
This is yet another dangerous escalation that brings us closer to a regime change war.
Congress must wake up, reassert its constitutional authority, and stop this.
Trump calls affordability a hoax and gives himself a A+++++ rating on the economy.
Meanwhile, Americans are skipping medical care and struggling to afford food. The Trump economy is crushing working families.

My joint statement with @meng.house.gov and @cmjuliewon.bsky.social on the case of Fei and Yuanxin:
The administration’s rush toward war with Venezuela is reckless and unlawful.
I won’t stand by while we’re marched into another disastrous intervention. Congress must reassert its constitutional authority and stop this escalation.
A “deal” that leaves millions facing higher health costs in exchange for empty promises is a betrayal.
Americans are counting on Democrats to stand up for them, not give in.
The Senate should reject it, and I will vote NO if it reaches the House.

👏🏾 Rep. @velazquez.house.gov calls out Trump's ‘America Last’ policy approach: $20B bailout for his friend in Argentina while the US faces historic Medicaid cuts, farmers go bankrupt & federal workers miss paychecks.
"If this is…America First, Americans deserve far better." http://bit.ly/48GlBHS

OPINION by @velazquez.house.gov, represents New York’s 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives:
“Even Trump knows this deal has nothing to do with helping Americans and everything to do with propping up a political ally.”

I joined 10s of thousands of New Yorkers today to say it loud and clear:
No to tyranny.
No to cruelty.
No to kings in America.
The GOP can smear these protests all they want, but they can't silence the truth. Americans are fed up with their authoritarian agenda.
What’s happening to @newyorkstateag.bsky.social is a blatant abuse of power.
Trump is using a corrupt Department of Justice to attack his political enemies.
This is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. New Yorkers stand with Tish James.
Earlier this week I joined colleagues in urging Sec. Rubio to protect the Global Sumud Flotilla. Now my constituent, Zuleyka Morales Rivera, a U.S. veteran, has been abducted with other Americans bringing aid to Gaza.
The State Department must act now to protect all captives.
Trump’s blockade of Hudson Tunnel and 2nd Ave Subway funds is illegal and an attack on New Yorkers.
These are strongman tactics used to punish political opponents. NY Republicans must choose: stand with New Yorkers or bow to Trump.
House: Republican.
Senate: Republican.
White House: Republican.
Republicans are dragging our nation toward a government shutdown. Threatening paychecks for federal workers, delaying vital services for families, and destabilizing our economy. Working people will pay the price for their chaos.
Today on @democracynow.org I spoke about my bill, the No Masks for ICE Act, which would prohibit ICE agents from wearing masks while carrying out arrests and detentions.
Federal agents should never hide their identity from the public.
Transparency is fundamental to protecting civil rights.

Congressmember @velazquez.house.gov has introduced a bill in Congress that would bar immigration agents from wearing facial coverings during enforcement actions.
"This administration is out of control, and it's affecting everyone."
Reposted byRep. Nydia Velázquez
The rollback of the 2009 endangerment finding ignores decades of proven science that greenhouse gas emissions harm public health.
@velazquez.house.gov & I led a letter with our New York colleagues today demanding EPA put the health and safety of our communities first—not the profits of Big Oil.

This is cancel culture brought to you by the federal government.
All part of the Trump admin's ongoing efforts to turn the free press into right-wing state media.
This is an assault on free speech. If you claim to care about the First Amendment, you must call it out.
