Rep. Tim Kennedy @RepTimKennedy

Families are feeling the squeeze of a cost of living crisis, and Congress should be focused on making life more affordable. The nonpartisan CBO reports that Trump’s war in Iran is driving up inflation and has already cost taxpayers $38 billion. That’s why I joined @HouseDemocrats in passing another War Powers Resolution to bring Trump’s war to an end. Our focus must be on lowering costs, strengthening economic security, and putting more money in the pockets of working families – not financing illegal, endless wars.

Tim Graham’s piece on tonight’s game gets at something real: whatever the business reasons behind it, hearing O Canada in our new stadium is a reminder of a shared culture, identity, and geography that no trade war can erase. Western New York has always been stronger with our Canadian neighbors standing beside us, and it always will be. Go Bills! 🇺🇸🦬🇨🇦 nytimes.com/athletic/76023…

Republicans have fled Washington while 244,000 New Yorkers are going hungry.  Families are struggling every single day to afford groceries, rent, utilities, and healthcare, and the One Big Ugly Bill is making that crisis even worse. Donald Trump and Republicans in Congress do not care about working families -  they are just making it harder for families to put food on the table when they need help the most. Western New Yorkers deserve better. I will not stop fighting to protect food assistance, lower costs, and make sure no family has to go hungry just to make ends meet.

Happy Home Opener, Buffalo!  Welcoming friends and neighbors to Washington is one of my favorite parts of the job - especially when they show up in their Bills gear! 🏈🦬 This is the people’s house, and showing Western New Yorkers the work @HouseDemocrats are doing to deliver for the American people is something I’m always proud to do.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Generations of Hispanic Americans have enriched our communities and brought life to our neighborhoods through their culture, traditions, and contributions. This month we celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of Hispanic and Latino communities across our nation.

Across WNY, families are stretching every paycheck to pay for essentials like groceries, utilities, rent, and healthcare. They shouldn’t have to choose between making ends meet and putting food on the table, keeping the lights on, or getting the care they need. While Republicans refuse to do their job – @HouseDemocrats are Fighting For An Affordable America.

This is personal for all of us. Millions of Americans, including myself, trace our roots back to Ireland, and we carry its history with us. The future of Ireland is up to the people of Ireland. The right to self-determination is not up for negotiation.  nytimes.com/2026/09/12/wor…

Mail-in ballots are one of the most convenient and secure ways for Americans to exercise their right to vote. Yesterday, the Supreme Court stopped Trump from letting the Postal Service block mail ballots from potentially millions of eligible voters in this year’s midterm election. Every American voting absentee this fall should be able to trust their ballot gets delivered and counted. We can’t let this President use the Postal Service as a political tool to advance his conspiracy theories. cbsnews.com/news/supreme-c…

It’s National Voter Registration Day, Western New York! Voting is one of the most important ways we participate in our democracy and make our voices heard on the issues that matter most to our families and communities. Make sure you’re registered, make a plan to vote, and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same. Our democracy works best when everyone has a voice. vote.gov

@RoswellPark continues to go the extra mile for our community and our nation each and every day, bringing care right to the heart of our neighborhoods.  By meeting people where they are, Roswell Park and the EDDY units are breaking down barriers to care, expanding access to lifesaving screenings, and making sure more Western New Yorkers have the opportunity to take control of their health.

No better way to start the week than with Victory Monday. Go Bills!

Last week’s tribute to the victims, families, and first responders of 9/11 was both humbling and powerful. It was a solemn reminder of the people we lost that day and just how fragile our lives are, but also of the courage and strength we have in our shared humanity.  In our darkest moments, we stand together, united and committed to a more just and compassionate America — one where we look out for our neighbors, lift each other up, and never lose sight of the values that bind us together. Twenty-five years later, that is the promise we must continue to carry forward. We will never forget.

On September 11th, we remember the 25th anniversary of the attacks that forever changed our nation. We honor nearly 3,000 innocent lives lost in New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. We honor the fire fighters, police officers, EMTs, and other first responders who ran towards danger to save others, as well as the members of our Armed Forces who answered the call to defend our nation in the years that followed. A quarter century later, we continue to stand with the families who lost loved ones and remember the courage, compassion, and resilience that brought our communities together in the aftermath.  We will never forget.

Donald Trump is a snake oil salesman - always has been, always will be. His reckless trade wars are costing families more than $2500 every year, and now he wants you to believe you’ll get it all back, and then some. House Democrats have an actual plan to make life more affordable: end the tariffs, cancel the healthcare cuts, stop the illegal wars. nytimes.com/2026/09/10/us/…

Here are just 10 of the worst things House Judiciary Republicans voted on this Congress. And that's just one Committee. How are any of these votes making life better, safer, or more affordable for the American people?

Lie after lie after lie. Donald Trump promised the American people no more forever wars and low gas prices, yet we are seeing exactly the opposite. Western New Yorkers cannot afford more failed promises and higher costs. They need an economy that works for working families. That begins by ending this poorly-planned war of choice. nbcnews.com/business/busin…

For over sixty years, HUD has worked to strengthen communities, expand access to safe and affordable housing, and create greater opportunities for Americans across the country. We must continue to protect HUD, invest in our communities, and make our housing system more just and equitable for families in Western New York and across the country, because everyone deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to live.

On International Literacy Day, we celebrate the power of reading to open doors, to learning, opportunity, and full participation in our communities. Literacy is the foundation everything else is built on. Today we honor the educators, families, librarians, and organizations who show up every day to help people of all ages build these essential skills. Let's keep investing in education and expanding access to literacy resources because everyone deserves the chance to read, learn, and succeed.

Donald Trump’s tariffs and misguided policies are driving up prices, squeezing family budgets, and putting American jobs at risk. Americans cannot afford to foot the bill for his petty trade war. Stop Trump's tax. End the Tariffs. cbsnews.com/news/canada-re…
