11/02/2018 Letter to The Honorable Robert Wilkie, Secretary of Veterans Affairs - Address Student Veteran GI Bill Benefit Delays
10/11/2018 Tweet - "Did you know that the average Social Security monthly benefit is $1,400? That's why a stronger Social Security that reflects the real expenses seniors face is so important. Today's announcement of a 2.8% COLA is good news -- but let's do better and #ExpandSocialSecurity."
09/06/2018 Tweet - "House Republicans passed a $2 trillion tax break for the wealthy. Now they're using the #FarmBill to try to cut #SNAP and leave millions of the most vulnerable Americans hungry."

07/30/2018 Tweet - "For 53 years, Medicare and Medicaid have provided a lifeline to millions of Americans. We must continue our promise to protect and expand these vital programs."
06/21/2018 Tweet - "Another day, another Republican attack on working families. They just passed a partisan, heartless #FarmBill that will cut $24 billion in food assistance for families in need. #ProtectSNAP #HandsOffSNAP"

06/05/2018 Crowley Statement on the Republican Sabotage of Medicare
05/31/2018 Tweet - "Republicans are trying to cut #SocialSecurity and the other vital programs supporting our nation's seniors to pay for the reckless #GOPTaxScam. Stopped by the RAIN Parkchester senior center in the #Bronx today to talk about Democrats' #ABetterDeal!"
05/22/2018 Tweet - "I was thoroughly impressed by the thoughtful questions from #FosterYouthVoices yesterday. We must continue to lift up these voices as we work to save funding for programs like #SNAP and #Medicare to help those in the foster care system."
05/18/2018 Tweet - "More than 1,000 families in #Queens and the #Bronx would lose their #SNAP food assistance if the #GOPFarmBill passes. I refuse to let Republicans take food away from children. #ProtectSNAP."
05/18/2018 Tweet - "The #GOPFarmBill was one of the most heartless, cruel, and nonsensical bills that Republicans have proposed since I've been in Congress. It would have abandoned family farms, aggravated our food shortage crisis, and left one million Americans at risk of going hungry."
05/18/2018 Chairman Crowley Statement on Republican Farm Bill
05/17/2018 Tweet - "Yes, so we can't raise the alarm enough here. 1,127 families in NY-14 (Queens and the Bronx) would lose #SNAP food assistance. Majority of which are households with kids. This is why we're fighting so hard to sink the #GOPFarmBill."
05/17/2018 Tweet - "**HALF** of all Americans are struggling to afford rent and food. So what do Republicans do? Pass the #GOPTaxScam and try to slash #SNAP funding. They're not even pretending to fight for you."
05/16/2018 Agriculture and Nutrition Act of 2018
05/10/2018 Tweet - "#SNAP is a critical anti-poverty program, helping millions of American families put food on the table. President Trump's threat will only increase food insecurity in this country."
04/17/2018 Tweet - "The Republican farm bill cuts nearly $20 billion from #SNAP, America's most effective anti-hunger program. Our nation's most vulnerable shouldn't be picking up the tab for the #GOPTaxScam's giveaway to the wealthy few. #ProtectSNAP"
04/12/2018 Tweet - "House Republicans are once again trying to gut the benefits working people have earned -- like #SocialSecurity and #Medicare. Not on my watch."
04/09/2018 Tweet - "Mark my words: Republicans will try to use today's CBO report as an excuse to gut Social Security and Medicare. But we won't let them abandon American families in order to validate the #GOPTaxScam's giveaway to the richest 1 percent."
