    Good afternoon, Brooklyn! I’m thrilled that my bill to designate the post office on Saint John Place in my District in honor of Congressman Major Owens has passed into law. This is just one way we can pay tribute to Owens’ life and living legacy.

    Congressman Owens was a life-long public servant and an advocate for education, gun control, and equal rights. I am excited that he will be honored permanently in New York's 9th Congressional District.

    THEN: Who is going to pay for the wall? Mexico. Mexico. Mexico. NOW: Who is going to pay for the wall? American taxpayers. And if I don’t get $5 billion from them, I’m going to shut down the government. President , no temper tantrum is going to get you the wall.

    They were children. It was unspeakable. And then our leaders did nothing—so we all stood up. Today marks 6 years since the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary. No matter how many years pass, my heart breaks. No matter how many years pass, my life will remain devoted to this cause.
