These are people who work six days a week, go to church on Sundays, and have raised families—including U.S. citizen children. They should not be forced to leave the only country they’ve known for the past 26 years.

Temporary Protected Status (TPS) recipients from Honduras were granted legal status in 1999 after Hurricane Mitch killed 10,000 people and devastated the country.

They are terrified.

I support the President’s efforts to secure the border and deport violent criminals—but this is going too far. Hondurans who have been living legally in the U.S. for over 25 years, working and paying taxes, are now being threatened with deportation on September 8th.

I think we can all agree that transparency is a good thing. I don’t know how anybody could be against that.

Let’s talk about immigration.

Cutting Medicaid and food assistance programs for Americans most in need is unacceptable, especially when at the same time we’re cutting taxes for the wealthiest Americans and blowing up the deficit. The math just doesn’t add up.

The Wall Street Journal just posted my op-ed: Mamdani is a Wake-Up Call-and a Bad Example

This is not a Republican or Democratic concern; it is an American issue that should unite us all. We must come together to ensure that every veteran receives the mental health services they have rightfully earned and deserve. Let us take action and advocate for our heroes.

The challenge of accessing mental health counseling is a pressing issue & demands our urgent attention. The US Dept of Veterans Affairs tragically reports that 17 veterans take their lives every day. It is vital to understand that acknowledging PTSD is a testament to strength—not a sign of weakness.

June is National Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Awareness Month. Today, as we commemorate the 81st anniversary of the D-Day Invasion, let us reflect on the reality that over 7% of our veterans may develop PTSD.

In the 24 hours we now remember as D-Day, more than 4,000 Allied soldiers, sailors, airmen, and coastguardsmen gave their lives in the name of freedom.

The greatest tribute we can offer to their sacrifice is to uphold and strengthen the democratic ideals for which they fought.

Lest we forget.

On June 6, 1944, 156,000 American, British, and Canadian troops launched the largest amphibious assault in history on the beaches of Normandy—a pivotal moment in World War II that helped turn the tide against tyranny.

Wishing everyone celebrating a joyous and blessed Eid al-Adha! May this special day bring you peace, happiness, and prosperity with your loved ones. May your sacrifices be valued and your prayers answered.

Like so many Long Islanders, I grew up with the music of the Piano Man. I was fortunate to get to know Billy Joel over 30 years ago, when I was mayor of Glen Cove. His songs remind us why we’re proud to be in a “New York state of mind.” Wishing Billy a swift and full recovery.

I want everyone to understand the basics of the State and Local Tax deduction (SALT). Please watch my testimony at the Rules Committee today as I introduce an amendment to raise the SALT cap to $80,000.

Watch my video:

President Trump and Speaker Johnson are pushing for their "big beautiful bill" to be debated in the rules committee tonight, in the dead of night. What do they not want the press to cover and you to know?

This provision has been in place since 1934 and now they want to sneak this change in. Please watch to get the details. Shocking!

This is absurd! Buried in the 400-page bill, dropped late Monday and debated in an all nighter last night, is a $1.4 billion dollar cut in the fees to buy and register a silencer!!

There’s lots of talk about negotiations over the SALT deduction, so I made it simple. I just proposed an increase to a $80,000 SALT deduction cap. Americans don’t deserve to be taxed on the taxes they have already paid. youtu.be/eNvNL4s0rxE?...

But when they have the power to make a difference, they are instead proposing a budget that balloons the deficit and cuts vital programs. We have serious problems facing our country. We need to be serious and work together to solve them.

Many of my colleagues in the other side of the aisle have sounded the alarm repeatedly about the dangers of our increasing deficit, and I agree with them. youtu.be/-BHH6ODVtiA?...

President Trump said he supported raising taxes on the wealthiest Americans. Now, this latest bill, according to the committee’s expert, extends the lower tax rate on the wealthiest Americans. youtu.be/eJ0cwegosaI?...

The President promised to restore the SALT deduction during his campaign. This bill does not restore the SALT deduction. Hmmm. youtu.be/3c2atfKqi20?...

YouTube video by Rep. Tom Suozzi Rep. Tom Suozzi, Ways & Means Markup 2, opening remarks, 5/13/25

In my opening remarks at today’s Ways and Means Mark-Up, I highlight Republicans who have correctly noted the deficit as a problem. Now, even the committee’s expert is noting that the GOP reconciliation bill will explode the deficit. Not good. youtu.be/kUxnw41Sz5M?...

Ways & Means Committee just began work on 400-page tax bill dropped yesterday.

When asked to explain it, Chairman Smith said, “because I say so!” That doesn’t work for my constituents.
