Brooklyn/Staten Island Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis reported Thursday that her office successfully assisted with the safe evacuation of four Brooklyn constituents — a mother and her three small children — from Kabul, Afghanistan.
Although critical of President Biden over the chaotic pullout from the war-torn country after two decades of American involvement, the Republican freshman Congress member said earlier this week her office has taken several cases of constituents who are stuck in Kabul and are attempting to get out. Some of them are U.S. citizens, including children.
The notice came in white text on a dark screen: “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines.” The company last week blocked a 45-minute video of my news conference announcing a lawsuit challenging Mayor Bill de Blasio’s “vaccine passport” as an invasion of New Yorkers’ privacy and an unreasonable mandate on small businesses.
Laurie Windsor has been hired as the director of U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis’ district office in Bay Ridge.
Windsor, a Bath Beach resident, was born and raised in Bensonhurst and attended P.S. 186, I.S. 96, and New Utrecht High School.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — Rep. Nicole Malliotakis joined fellow Republicans Thursday criticizing a coronavirus (COVID-19) mask mandate put in place for the House of Representatives members and their staff, including the fully vaccinated.
“Our Washington staff is fully vaccinated,” she said. “Speaker (Nancy) Pelosi’s mandate directing Capitol Police to arrest visitors and staff who don’t comply is an inappropriate government overreach and only diminishes confidence in a vaccine that we were told was safe and effective against the spread of COVID-19 and its variants.”
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Officials at the state and federal level are once again advocating for Congress to repeal the State and Local Tax (SALT) deduction cap.

Only one Republican represents the Big Apple on Capitol Hill: Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis.
She was only sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives in January, after unseating first-term Democrat Max Rose.
