Yesterday, Brazil showed the world that the will of the people is stronger than the authoritarians who try to suppress it. Congratulations President @LulaOficial and congratulations Brazil.

Over the last week, I have received outreach from Albanian community members who are worried about their families' safety. I am calling on the Albanian government to deescalate the violent repression of protestors and respect Albanians’ freedom of expression.

My statement on the suspicious letter sent to my district office in Hunts Point.

The FAA rolled out a new AI tool for air traffic control in DC without publishing a safety evaluation or sufficiently consulting labor. @RepAprilDelaney and I are urging the FAA to stop the rollout until we have answers. Air traffic control leaves zero margin for error.

On this Indigenous Peoples’ Day, we celebrate the endless and bountiful contributions of Native people. Let us continue to center their voices and wisdom, and staunchly advocate for their community and land prosperity, especially as it relates to climate change.

For years, the Trump admin has launched slanderous attacks against Rep. Omar. This morning, the administration sent federal officials to raid her home. We cannot and will not accept this unprecedented abuse of power. I stand with @Ilhan.

BREAKING: Federal agents searched Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar's home as part of a criminal investigation, AP sources say.

RT @MorePerfectUS: This farm in upstate New York almost had a data center move in right next door, but then NY got the first statewide data center moratorium in the country. We went with @AOC and @GovKathyHochul to talk to farmers who are thrilled the data center wasn't built, and who are still on alert for what happens when the moratorium expires.

My statement on the ICE shooting in Marble Hill ⬇️

RT @NYCMayor: This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed. This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities. Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery. Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children. Abolish ICE.

On Tuesday, @GovKathyHochul @RepPatRyanNY and I had the opportunity to speak with farming communities and spotlight a New York State moratorium on data center construction. We must hold Big Tech companies accountable for maintaining our air, water, and climate quality.

RT @CMAlexaAviles: Three of my bills were heard at @SchomburgCenter on 9/28. It was incredible to see the outpouring of solidarity from our NYC diaspora. 🇵🇷🇵🇷 Thank you to @RepAOC for voicing your support, alongside all the amazing organizations and leaders who testified.
