Indigenous Peoples’ Day is a time of reflection and appreciation for the diverse cultures, unique traditions, and knowledge that enrich communities and inspire future generations worldwide. Let us continue to honor Indigenous people by preserving their cultural heritage, and respecting the traditions that remain a vital part of our shared history.
Trump and Republicans in Congress have thrown out basic human decency, taken their Deportation Machine way too far, and have abused their power yet again. This is a blatant disregard for the basic rule of law and a calculated outcome of their radical weaponization of the DOJ and DHS against political opponents. Every harmful Republican policy has a human cost, and there are real families who are left to pay it. My heart goes out to @Ilhan and her family who deserve far better than this sinister political obsession. I stand with Ilhan. https://t.co/gbmeDabXTW
I’m deeply disturbed by ICE agents shooting an unarmed man in the Bronx, especially with a 5-year-old in the vehicle. I demand a full independent investigation, with all facts and footage made public. I stand with my fellow New Yorkers during this difficult time. https://t.co/hQthwExH36

HAPPENING NOW: I am hosting a shadow hearing with @RepJoeMorelle in Queens on election security and efforts to protect American democracy with several members of the New York delegation. We’ll hear from experts about efforts to disenfranchise voters and what steps we need to take to protect voting access and strengthen confidence in our democracy. Watch the livestream here: https://t.co/6rvgcq9oTO
Their lives and dignity matter. Acknowledging their suffering does not diminish the unique horror of October 7 or Hamas' responsibility for its crimes. Our humanity requires us to mourn innocent lives and work to protect them.
Today, I joined @RepJoeMorelle, @RepGraceMeng, @RepPaulTonko and @RepEspaillat to host a shadow hearing on election security. We heard from voting rights experts about recent attempts to restrict access to the ballot and weaken confidence in our elections in New York and across America. Every voter deserves a fair chance to be heard. That’s the democracy we are fighting for.
Neither people's children should be condemned to inherit endless war. May the memory of those murdered on October 7 be a blessing. May their families find comfort, and may their memory strengthen our resolve to prevent further suffering and pursue peace.
There can be no justification for October 7. I remain steadfast in my commitment to Israel's security and its right to protect its people from terrorism. We also recognize the immense suffering, loss, and displacement Palestinian civilians have endured since October 7.
Join Congressman Gregory Meeks for a Telephone Town Hall THIS Friday -- October 9, 2026 at 7:00 PM! After two years of Republican inflation, we’ll talk about how we can rebuild our economy and country. RSVP here: https://t.co/RHaSzk6Onz https://t.co/QsvlyL85oo
We also recognize the enduring anguish of Jewish communities in the United States and around the world. For those who lived through October 7 or lost loved ones, its trauma is not confined to an anniversary-it is lived every day.
Three years ago today, Hamas terrorists committed an atrocity that forever scarred Israel and the Jewish people. We honor the hostages and their families, those murdered, including the Americans among them, and stand with those whose lives were forever changed. https://t.co/TyU5GT9okE
Honoring the victims requires more than remembrance. It requires sustained work to prevent such atrocities from happening again, to confront terrorism, protect civilians, and pursue diplomacy that enables Israelis to live in security & Palestinians to live in freedom and dignity.

Capt. Smit Machchhar and those who helped him are heroes. Their bravery in fending off the attacker and safely landing FlyDubai Flight 1073 in Saudi Arabia saved nearly 200 lives and prevented a devastating tragedy. A thorough investigation is needed to ensure this never happens again. https://t.co/mEOdoSHQgp

On my birthday today, I am especially grateful for my family, my team, and the people of Queens who let me do this work. Thank you for the trust you place in me, I don’t take it lightly. Still fighting and still have more to do. https://t.co/4DHS4wMsti
The alarm bells have been going off. The fact that the court had to step in and force Trump to abide by the First Amendment should concern us all. https://t.co/OneSqnHbQf
A zip code should never determine a child’s ability to grow up healthy. Today, I celebrated the opening of Arverne’s new Pediatric Dental Services, made possible in part by the $1.5 million in federal funding I secured. This investment will expand access to essential pediatric services and give kids and families the opportunity to receive high-quality care closer to home.
Come November, she’ll defeat Lawler and put the focus back on serving the people of New York’s 17th Congressional District.
While he chooses to celebrate his “bipartisan credentials”, families are still struggling to make ends meet.
Lawler has to answer for his votes to kick families off of Medicaid, to take food out of the mouths of children, and to look the other way while Trump wages a forever war in the Middle East.
