With Americans across the nation casting their ballots this year and exercising their fundamental right to vote, I’m hearing more and more concerns from voters about the safety of our elections and the steps being taken to ensure fair elections across our country.

Kids deserve a childhood the centers safety, learning, and love. But some of our kids are being traumatized by the cruel actions of ICE in their brutal deportation campaign. I’m voting NO on spending any federal dollars to fund this out-of-control agency.

My Democratic colleagues and I are fighting back tirelessly against Donald Trump’s cruelty and corruption - and thanks to public pressure from Americans like you, we’re winning. Read more about the events of last week in my newsletter: tonko.house.gov/news/email/s…

Proud to join my Democratic colleagues last night to pass the Ukraine Support Act to provide essential resources for Ukraine as they continue to fight back against Russian aggression. Slava Ukraini! 🇺🇦

After Republican leadership blocked a vote last month, the House finally passed a War Powers Resolution to end Trump's war with Iran. This was long overdue. Trump and his administration need to stop this conflict now and actually take steps to lower costs for Americans.

For over 3 months, Trump has claimed an imminent deal with Iran, all while strikes continue across the Middle East and the Strait of Hormuz stays closed. The American people are sick of this war, his lies, and rising prices. It's past time we pass the War Powers Resolution and end this war of choice.

Today, I joined advocates, parents & veterans to stand against current efforts to rollback lifesaving protections from cancer-causing chemicals. We sent a clear message: we cannot erase progress. We need to strengthen protections and prioritize public health—not bow to private, polluter interests.

Trump was cowed into dropping the $1.7 billion slush fund for his supporters due to legal & public backlash against this blatant theft of taxpayers. He backed down because the public made their voices heard! We must keep up the pressure to push back on this administration’s illegal actions & demand accountability. nytimes.com/2026/06/01/us/po…

Pride month is a celebration of love, community, and the freedom to live authentically. As we honor the trailblazers who moved us further down the path towards equality, we must continue their fight for justice and dignity for all. Happy Pride Month!

While Trump and the Republicans are busy using your taxpayer dollars to fund a luxury White House ballroom and pay off rioters who beat police on January 6th, I’m fighting to make sure you can afford gas and put food on your table.

Today, I was proud to visit the Voorheesville Fire Department to meet with their brave firefighters and see firsthand the new equipment the Department purchased using federal funding I helped secure through the Assistance to Firefighters Grants (AFG) program.

This grant award, one of more than a dozen grants I announced last year totaling $5.45 million for our Capital Region firefighters, allowed the department to purchase face masks, state-of-the-art personal protective equipment, and a new washer/dryer for turnout gear.

I’m always proud to support the first responders who put their lives on the line to keep our communities safe, and I’ll continue working to bring federal dollars home to benefit our Capital Region and all those who call it home.

Today, we marked 20 years since the passage of Timothy’s Law, one of the first mental health parity laws in our nation. We named the law in honor of Timothy O’Clair who, at just 12 years old, died by suicide because insurance companies refused to cover the mental health care he needed. Mental health requires care, just the same as physical health. That fact remains as true today as 2 decades ago. I'm still in the fight to make certain no one is denied mental health treatment because of profits and corporate greed.

This Memorial Day, we remember our fallen servicemembers who gave everything in the defense of our nation. While we can never repay these brave men and women, we must never forget their ultimate sacrifice to protect our freedom.

Trump's corruption and self-dealing this week reached new highs even for him. From making deals to enrich himself, his family & his loyal followers, to pushing for a $1 billion ballroom paid for by taxpayers, he's focused on everything except making life more affordable for families.
