This week, I proudly voted to pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act, a landmark bill that cracks down on union busters who stall, obstruct, and refuse to negotiate with workers after they vote to form a union.
For decades, corporations have exploited loopholes to drag out

- If only this administration spent as much time working to lower your cost of living as they do protecting Trump and the rest of the Epstein class.
- House Republicans handed ICE a $70 billion blank check, while WNYers are paying $4+ a gallon for gas and millions of Americans are losing their health coverage. I voted no. New York families deserve better.
- The Iran War has cost American households $100 billion, that’s $750 per family. Gas is up 50%. Groceries are spiking. Inflation is at a 3-year high. And Congressional Republicans want to give another blank check to ICE to the tune of $70B. Western New York families are paying
- Good jobs don't just happen, you build the pipeline for them. That's exactly what @NorthlandWTC, under the leadership of Stephen Tucker, is doing in Buffalo. A $4.2 million clean tech lab is under construction right now, where workers will train hands-on with solar panels, wind
- On Sunday, Trump told NBC the 2020 election was rigged. Then said last week's California primary was rigged. When pressed for evidence on either claim, he said: "All I have to do is look." Welker said that's not evidence. He unclipped his mic and walked out. This is the pattern
- 172 people pleaded guilty to assaulting police officers on January 6th. Trump pardoned them. Now he wants to pay them with your tax dollars. When NBC's Kristen Welker asked him point blank if that's acceptable, he wouldn't say no. Then he unclipped his mic and walked out of the
- Buffalo has always shown up for people in need, no matter where they are. @JRCHCBuffaloNY is sending $2.5 million in supplies to the frontlines of the Ebola outbreak in Congo. Their clinic in Goma is still open, staffed, and serving people through the crisis. That's the City of
- The Buffalo News editorial board got it right: no family should be left waiting, not knowing where their loved one is. That's what happened to Nurul Amin Shah Alam's family right here in Buffalo. He was released from DHS custody in near-freezing temperatures, with no winter
- A convicted January 6th rioter that helped attack the United States Capitol has been handed oversight of counterterrorism operations and classified military intelligence. No one who did that should be anywhere near this role. This administration has made a pattern of trading
- The only qualification required to serve in Donald Trump's administration is to be an unapologetic loyalist. Our country and the American people are less safe because of the unqualified people Donald Trump is putting in charge. The Senate must reject Bill Pulte’s nomination and
00:00 - Don't be fooled by Trump's claim that he's dropping the $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization fund. He's keeping the part that actually matters, an IRS settlement that shields him and his allies from audits and tax scrutiny. Working families never get deals like that. Presidents
- After months of silence, Secretary Mullin has done the bare minimum and confirmed there is an investigation into the death of Nurul Amin Shah Alam. I’m far from satisfied. From the very beginning of this tragedy, DHS has lied, obfuscated, and stonewalled, and I won’t rest until
