We now know that officials like Giuliani intentionally ignored our claims and lied to New Yorkers about the dangers they were facing. The mishandling of these cleanup efforts exposed thousands of New Yorkers and rescue workers to toxins that are still impacting their health.

Government officials must be accountable to the people they serve. In 2001, and for 30 years since, I represented Ground Zero and led local leaders ringing alarm bells about these environmental hazards.

Tying mass transit and rail infrastructure grants to marriage and birth rates is holding necessary public programs hostage to further dangerous right-wing ideology.

Project 2025 is alive and well. This proposal is an attempt to advance Trump and Duffy's disturbing and dystopian dream of forcing women to marry and have more babies.

I will continue fighting for transparency, accountability, and oversight of this project so we can deliver a renovated Penn Station that will actually benefit New Yorkers.

It also amends a bad bill that would cut transit funding to New York. As the representative of Penn Station, I am proud to have voted against this amendment and bill.

Additionally, the congressional amendment that Byford is cheering for would give Trump and his allies wide-reaching authority over this project, which could destroy local zoning authorities and cost NY residents and MTA riders an unknown amount.

Andy Byford's op-ed is a work of fiction. The truth is that the MTA is standing strong against Trump’s attempted takeover of Penn Station, which could destroy local zoning authorities and force NY residents and MTA riders to foot the bill.

ICE has no place using our courtrooms as bait to arrest individuals in immigration proceedings. Immigrants must be allowed to move through their legal proceedings without fear and unnecessary obstruction. I am glad to see this court ruling to uphold justice for immigrants in NY.

Now, the Trump administration is illegally delaying the release of funding that Congress previously authorized for HOPWA. I led my colleagues in the House and Senate in calling on the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development to immediately release these funds. (2/2)

For over two decades, I have been proud to secure robust funding in the appropriations process for HOPWA, the critical program that helps people living with HIV/AIDS have the safe housing and stability they need. (1/2)

The Trump administration and other bad actors want to confuse voters to suppress our voices. We cannot let that happen. Here are the facts: Every registered voter in New York has the right to vote by mail. It is safe, legal, and easy.

There must be a full and independent investigation into the alleged crimes and the role of the authorities who managed this case from the very beginning. Moreover, each and every one of us has a role in preventing violence against women by confronting wrongdoing and standing with survivors. (4/4)

This case, and far too many like it, are the product of a culture of violence against women and systems that silence survivors at college campuses across our country. (3/4)

But the victims of heinous crimes should not be forced to fight an uphill battle for justice while they work to heal from the trauma inflicted upon them. (2/4)

The allegations of sexual assault at Cornell University are deeply horrifying. I commend this young woman for her courage in seeking justice, and I fully support the district attorney’s decision to reopen the criminal investigation. (1/4)
