The loss of the ACP will deny millions of Americans the opportunities provided by affordable internet access. Without it, many will be left behind, widening the digital divide.

We must pass the bipartisan Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act NOW.

For far too many hard-working NYers, affordable housing is unattainable. Yvette D. Clarke and I are working to change that.

Today we announced our Affordable Housing and Area Median Income Fairness Act, legislation that would help combat the affordable housing crisis in NYC.

Closing the digital divide benefits all Americans, & it's something all Democrats & Republicans should be able to agree on.

The +23M US households that rely on the ACP to help pay their internet bills could soon be on their own. Congress must act now to save this vital program.

On this Yom HaShoah, we remember the 6 million Jewish men, women, and children who were killed during the Holocaust. 

We must always oppose antisemitic efforts to deny or distort the truth of this tragedy.

Today marks 63 years since the first Freedom Riders, including my late, dear friend Congressman John Lewis, began their journey to the deep south to protest segregated bus terminals.

They defined what it means to fight for Good Trouble – and I’ll always celebrate their story.

On this World Press Freedom Day, we cannot forget the many journalists across the world working to oppose corruption and shed light in the dark.

When journalists like Evan Gershkovich are imprisoned for telling the truth, it’s clear the fight for a free press is far from over.

Throughout their careers, James E. Clyburn and Nancy Pelosi have fought for the most underserved and overlooked Americans – there are few leaders more deserving of the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

My congratulations to them and the other awardees of this great honor!

Access to the internet is vital for education, employment, telehealth services, & so much more.

We cannot afford to reverse course on the progress made in closing the digital divide. Congress must come together & extend funding for the ACP to help keep folks connected.

Over 23 million US families are about to start seeing bigger internet bills as the Affordable Connectivity Program shuts down by the end of the month.

Lives, jobs, and futures are on the line in rural and urban communities. Congress must protect the ACP — before it’s too late.

Congress has a responsibility to pass my bipartisan legislation, the Affordable Connectivity Program Extension Act, before the ACP’s funding begins to sunset as soon as tomorrow.

23 million American households are depending on our action today.

We cannot let them down.

People, not politicians, must have the power and right to make their own health care decisions.

House Democrats are standing with President Biden in our fight to restore every Americans’ reproductive freedoms, like access to abortion care, birth control, and essential fertility services.
