Rep. Dan Goldman

Very proud to pass the gavel for the Bagel Caucus to my good friend and New York bagel aficionado, @MicahLasher. 

While Micah might choose his local Barney Greengrass over my Russ and Daughters, a NY bagel is a NY bagel and I’m confident Micah will do an outstanding job of spreading the best bagels in the world to colleagues from around the country in a truly bipartisan way. 

Good luck, Micah!

Tomorrow is election day!

I made another visit to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, a criminal jail that is being used to hold an increasing number of immigrants in the same conditions as criminal defendants even though the vast majority of them have never committed a crime.

I’m pleased that our persistent oversight has improved conditions somewhat, but the indefinite detention is simply unacceptable.

I was able to receive an update on Oscar Belgal, who was shot by ICE a couple of weeks ago and is being held in the MDC, and we will continue to monitor his medical care.

I will continue to conduct oversight of @DHSgov and ensure they are held accountable for the safety of all New Yorkers.

During the 119th Congress, we defeated nearly all anti-LGBTQ+ provisions pushed by MAGA Republicans.

I am proud to have earned a 100% rating on Human Rights Campaign’s congressional scorecard and look forward to continuing to defend LGBTQ+ freedoms.

As Republicans implement their devastating cuts to SNAP, we need to be sure that those who still receive benefits actually get them.

That’s why Congress must pass my bipartisan Enhanced Cybersecurity for SNAP Act to provide federal funding to upgrade to chip-enabled EBT cards nationwide and prevent rampant SNAP fraud that is making too many people go hungry.
