The recent news that New York City is facing a $12 billion budget gap is a dose of reality to the fledgling Mamdani administration, which seems to think money grows on trees.
Inside Government, a Q&A series that gives New Yorkers a glimpse inside the role of the elected officials who represent them, is back for 2026. The first edition of the new year features United States Representative Nicole Malliotakis. Representative Malliotakis serves the 11th Congressional District which encompasses Staten Island and parts of Southern Brooklyn.
One year ago this week, President Donald Trump was sworn in with a Republican trifecta. In our first 12 months, we’ve delivered on multiple promises, including border security, lower gas prices, economic growth and historic tax cuts.
In the final days of this year, 211 House Democrats voted against House Republicans’ bill to address the rising cost of healthcare. That wouldn’t be remarkable except that in 2017, 196 Democrats, including the current minority leader, urgedPresident Trump to adopt almost identical reforms.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A bipartisan group of congressional lawmakers, including local Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, have introduced new legislation that would prevent a significant jump in healthcare costs for millions of Americans in 2026.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Rep. Nicole Malliotakis said she was educating her colleagues as she spent three minutes Friday on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives blasting socialist ideology and the proposed policies of incoming NYC mayor Zohran Mamdani.
“Socialism is communism light,” said Malliotakis, a Republican who represents Staten Island and parts of Brooklyn.
The House approved a resolution with dozens of Democrats in support on Friday that condemns socialism and cites its damaging historical record in multiple countries.
WASHINGTON — The House passed a resolution denouncing the “horrors of socialism” Friday, hours before democratic socialist New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani was scheduled to meet President Trump at the White House.
Like millions of Americans, I’m deeply frustrated by this unnecessary government shutdown that was easily avoidable. It’s hurting families, small businesses, and service members across the nation, which is why I voted for a clean extension of existing funding levels that have previously passed both the House and the Senate with overwhelming bipartisan support.
America has long been the world’s leader in film and television. But as more and more foreign films are being produced, that leadership is under serious threat.
With Section 181 — the only federal tax incentive designed to keep production in the U.S. — currently set to expire at the end of this year, we risk losing more jobs and projects to foreign markets whose governments offer far more competitive incentives.
