We exhausted every option within our Republican majority conference, and now it’s time to find a bipartisan compromise to the ACA tax premiums. It’s time we start working through the legislative process.

I’m proud that my bill, the Antisemitism Awareness Act, just passed the House of Representatives 320 to 91. This bill has broad, bipartisan support and will begin the process of cracking down on the antisemitism we’ve seen run rampant on college campuses across America.

In 2012, when I was 25 years old, I made one of the worst decisions of my life. After learning that my dad’s cancer had spread to his brain, I got behind the wheel after drinking and was arrested for DWI. I’m grateful that no one was hurt, and I’m especially thankful to the police officers who pulled me over that night. Their actions likely prevented a tragedy. I don’t share this story because I’m proud of it or to make an excuse. I share it because I hope someone else can learn from my mistake. No matter what you’re going through, there is never a justification for driving impaired. If you’ve been drinking or using drugs, don’t drive. If someone else has, don’t get in the car with them. Call a friend. Call a parent. Use a rideshare. Find another way home.

Humanitarian aid must reach those who truly need it, not strengthen organizations with ties to terrorism. But the fact is, UNRWA has been corrupted by Hamas for years, with documented ties to terrorism. That’s why Rep Josh Gottheimer and I have introduced the bipartisan Replace UNRWA with Real Humanitarian Assistance Act to abolish UNRWA and replace it with trusted partners that will deliver aid to those who need it, without empowering terrorist organizations.

Unlike some of my colleagues who are recycling the same talking points, I’m willing to work across the aisle to avoid a shutdown. I’d encourage Leader Jeffries and the Democrats trying to politicize a shutdown to join me on Problem Solvers’ bipartisan short-term funding bill.

We need a legal path forward that allows individuals with U.S.-citizen children and grandchildren to come out of the shadows, pay back taxes and a fine, and contribute—without receiving government benefits. This is not a pathway to citizenship under any circumstances for anyone who broke our laws by coming to the United States. Our immigration system has been broken for 40 years, and doing nothing is not an option.

No one should profit from their position in Congress. I don’t trade stocks or hold digital assets, and I’m proud to have voted to ban members of Congress from trading stocks. Public service is about serving the people, not profiting from the office we hold.

This week, the Syria Sanctions Accountability Act was marked up and passed the Financial Services Committee with bipartisan support. I introduced this bill to modernize the existing sanctions regime on Syria. As the Trump Administration reviews sanctions policy, we must ensure they have the tools needed.

This morning, I joined Town of Clarkstown Supervisor George Hoehmann, Veterans Angels of Hope, and volunteers from the Clarkstown Hockey Team to distribute free holiday dinner bags to military and veteran families. We distributed 160 dinner bags that included ham, potatoes, vegetables, and Girl Scout cookies. Thank you to all our veterans and military families, and happy holidays to all!

The Palestinian Authority pays terrorists who murder innocent people. It’s disgusting - and it has to stop. That’s why I’m leading a bipartisan bill to hold them accountable.

Let there be no doubt, we will defend our ally Israel, our other partners in the region, and our military and diplomatic personnel. Iran should understand that there will be grave consequences for any actions they take in response to this justified strike on their nuclear facilities.

I just signed a discharge petition to advance forward bipartisan legislation to extend the ACA enhanced premium tax credits for 2-years, inclusive of significant insurance reforms, income limits, PBA reforms, and HSA expansion. This is the only bill that has a chance of becoming law. It’s time for everyone to put party aside and get this done. This discharge petition already has enough Republicans signed on, if every single Democrat would join us — and the vote could happen immediately. Let’s get it done.

Pro-Hamas agitators are here at the US Capitol again, protesting tomorrow’s address by Prime Minister Netanyahu to a joint session of Congress. One chant you won’t hear them say? “Bring Them Home.”

When we return in January, we will vote on a three-year expansion of ACA tax subsidies. Doing nothing is not an option. I am committed to working across the aisle to make subsides available for the American people.

Let’s not mince words here - if you’re chanting “from the River to the Sea” or “Globalize the Intifada” on college campuses, you’re parroting Hamas talking points, you’re intimidating Jewish students, and you should face the consequences.

Americans were rightly frustrated during the Biden years, when open borders allowed more than 10.5 million migrants to enter the country illegally. Over the last nine months, illegal crossings have effectively dropped to net zero. Most Americans agree criminal aliens should be deported. At the same time, if someone has lived here for years, is working, has no criminal record, and has American citizen children or grandchildren, there should be a lawful way forward. This is not amnesty and not a pathway to citizenship.

I stand with the Iranian people as they seek to reclaim their country after 45 years of brutal tyranny. Their courage in the face of oppression is inspiring, and the United States must continue to support their fight for freedom.

Republicans and Democrats can agree that our healthcare system is broken and must be fixed through a bipartisan approach. Enough of the blame game on both sides. Let’s focus on actually delivering affordable healthcare for Americans.

Democrats have no plan on how to get out of the shutdown that they created. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have kowtowed to AOC, Bernie Sanders, and Zohran Mamdani because they are petrified of a primary. They have repeatedly voted not only to shut the government down, but also to not pay our troops and federal workers, even when given the opportunity to. It is shameful. It is wrong. And it should end immediately.
