🚨 WIN FOR HAITI TPS 🚨
The House just passed the first bill I introduced in Congress to extend TPS for over 350,000 law-abiding, taxpaying Haitians on Long Island and across the country.
This is a pivotal milestone in the fight to protect the hardworking members of our community from the horrors in Haiti.
Now I urge the Senate to take up this measure and to protect our Haitian friends and neighbors.

In a taste of how this potential rematch will go, the Gillen reelection campaign says, "Long Island families need someone who will fight for them, not abuse their power for personal benefit."
Multiple source tell Newsday that former Long Island GOP Rep. Anthony D'Esposito is ready to launch in next few days his campaign to reclaim House seat he lost in 2024 to Democrat Laura Gillen. Candidate petitions bearing his name already sent to printer.

News: Colorado Sens. Bennet & Hickenlooper say they’re holding up the funding package over OMB’s decision to break up the National Center for Atmospheric Research, which is based in Boulder.
Unclear if the Senate can start voting on it tonight, but GOP leaders are pushing hard.

If you want to make Memphis safer. Stop denying us the same resources and funding provided to Nashville especially, Knoxville and Chattanooga. You and Governor Lee have done the bare minimum for Memphis and have colluded with other state officials to sabotage this great city
