Let’s Go Knicks!!

Rep. Nicole Malliotakis' new "Nest Egg Protection Act," H.R. 9064, proposes raising the capital gains tax exclusion for people over 65 who sell their homes from 2027 through 2030. The act would raise that exclusion on profits of up to $1 million, double the current max, provided they're selling a home they've owned for at least 25 years. realtor.com/news/real-estate…

This Title IX Month, I'm recognizing Ava R. of Staten Island for her hard work and achievements including being named NFL FLAG Player of the Year from @stjosephsea. Title IX helped create new opportunities for generations of female athletes, and protecting women's sports ensures those opportunities remain available for the next generation.

Taxpayers should never be forced to fund retirement benefits for elected officials convicted of heinous sexual crimes. That's why we are proud to support @RepNicole Malliotakis's H.R. 8898, the End Government Pensions for Sexual Abusers Act, to ensure Members of Congress convicted of serious sexual offenses forfeit their federal retirement benefits. Accountability should not end when a sentence begins. malliotakis.house.gov/media/…

I introduced legislation to create a common-sense safety buffer around federal law enforcement officers to better protect them from threats, harassment, and interference while they carry out their duties—specifically targeting agitators and individuals who are disruptive or obstructing law enforcement.

“We found 146,000 kids so far. Some of these kids claimed that they were raped over 600 times. I don't care who you are. If you can't stand for law enforcement to go find these kids, who are you?” @SecMullinDHS

“It’s shameful that we have governors…[in] sanctuary states that are refusing to allow their law enforcement to join in the 287(g) program where we simply go after the worst of the worst.” @SecMullinDHS

Blythedale was proud to be one of 52 children's hospitals participating in Family Advocacy Day 2026 (#FAD2026), hosted by @hospitals4kids President & CEO Dr. Nathaniel Beers and Chief Nursing Officer Jill Wegener, MSN, RN, joined the Pasquale family on Capitol Hill to advocate for children with complex medical needs and their families. Together, they discussed the impact of HR1 on pediatric health care and the need for improvements to the process of obtaining durable medical equipment. Throughout the day, the team met with staff from both New York senators' offices, as well as @RepMikeLawler, and met directly with Congressmembers @RepNicole and @RepGLatimer The Pasquale family shared their personal experience navigating the health care system on behalf of their son, John, helping bring to life the real-world impact that policy decisions can have on children and families. We are grateful to our elected officials and their staff for taking the time to listen and engage in these important conversations. Thank you to the Pasquale family for lending their voice and helping advocate for better care and stronger support systems for children and families.

I was a speaker at the 41st Annual Cyprus Conference in Washington this week. Cyprus plays a critical role in promoting stability, security, and energy cooperation in the Eastern Mediterranean and remains an important partner to the United States as we have seen firsthand with their assistance in evacuating American citizens from the Middle-East and returning them home safely in recent years.

As a pro-labor Republican, I proudly voted yes on this common sense legislation that I co-sponsored. time.com/article/2026/06/10/…

I was proud to welcome Daniela Luci, a student at St. Joseph Hill Academy High School, to the U.S. Capitol as she received the Congressional Award Gold Medal — the U.S. Congress’ highest honor for youth. Daniela earned this honor through her achievements in volunteer service, personal development, physical fitness, and expedition/exploration, including her volunteer work with Project Hospitality and Habitat for Humanity. Congratulations to Daniela on this well-deserved honor!

Yankees win. Knicks win. Republicans win. A great day for sports!

THE NEW YORK KNICKS GET THE STOP TO COMPLETE THE LARGEST COMEBACK IN NBA FINALS HISTORY 🚨🚨🚨 THEY TRAILED BY 29. THEY NOW LEAD THE SERIES 3-1.

For years, foreign nations have benefited from American pharmaceutical R&D while refusing to pay their fair share. @RepArrington, @RepNicole and I led 48 members of Congress to call on @USTradeRep and @howardlutnick to combat these harmful policies. buchanan.house.gov/2026/06/1…

FISA has provided the intelligence needed to thwart terror attacks and keep our country safe. As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, it’s critical that this foreign surveillance tool is extended.

TEAMSTERS-LED FASTER LABOR CONTRACTS ACT PASSES U.S. HOUSE WITH BIPARTISAN SUPPORT With bipartisan support, the U.S. House of Representatives today passed the Faster Labor Contracts Act (FLCA), a Teamsters-led bill that could become the strongest new labor legislation for American workers in generations. Just three weeks prior, the discharge petition filed by Congressman Donald Norcross (D-NJ, 1st District) received the 218 signatures needed to force a vote on the landmark law that would hold employers accountable for delaying first union contracts.     “The Faster Labor Contracts Act is the most consequential labor bill to come before Congress in decades. Its bipartisan passage out of the House of Representatives is a significant milestone for millions of American workers,” said Teamsters General President Sean M. O’Brien. “The 1.3-million member Teamsters Union has worked tirelessly to build a coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents who are committed to improving the lives of working people. Millions of workers at Amazon and other major companies who are fed up with being overworked, underpaid, and undervalued are organizing their unions today in record numbers. We can no longer tolerate a broken system that allows corporations to corruptly drag out negotiations and shirk their legal obligations to bargain fair first union contracts. The FLCA has a real shot to right generations of wrongs and level the playing field for workers. The Teamsters are eager for the Senate to take up this urgent legislation and ensure it lands on the President’s desk.”    The FLCA would amend the National Labor Relations Act to require employers to bargain with newly organized workers within 10 days of voting to form their union. Establishing a reasonable timeline for all parties to negotiate in good faith, the legislation provides a path to mediation if no agreement is reached within 90 days and a referral to arbitration to ensure first contracts can be fairly resolved.    The Senate version of the bill, introduced last year by Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) and Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ), continues to gain strong bipartisan support.    “The Teamsters Union is grateful to all members of the U.S. House who had the courage to stand with workers, to put aside partisan politics, and to advance this legislation,” said Teamsters General Secretary-Treasurer Fred Zuckerman. “Right now, hardworking Americans are forced to wait 458 days on average for their employers to stop playing games, get to the table, and negotiate first union contracts. With the full support of the Teamsters Union, the FLCA will put an end to this corporate corruption and give workers the opportunity they deserve to lead better lives and rebuild the American middle class. The Teamsters thank Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D, NY-08) and House Republicans and Democrats who did the right thing to bring this important bill to the floor. The Senate must schedule its own markup and pass the FLCA as soon as possible.”

Democrats are turning a blind eye crimes being committed by foreign criminals. I exposed 16,000 crimes committed by migrants housed in NYC shelters and @GovKathyHochul is doubling down on dangerous sanctuary policies that protect illegal immigrants from deportation.

I was honored to receive The Senior Citizens League’s Senior Sentinel Award in recognition of my commitment to seniors. Whether it be providing tax relief, protecting social security, supporting caregivers or lowering prescription drug prices, I’ll continue my work to support our seniors.

This week alone, @ICEgov detained individuals convicted of robbery, manslaughter, and sex crimes in New York — no thanks to @GovKathyHochul, who is doubling down to make it even more difficult for law enforcement get criminals off our streets.
