Thank you to the lifeguards and first responders at Jones Beach for their swift response following today's shark incident. As we head to the beach this summer, it's a good reminder to stay alert, swim near a lifeguard and always be aware of your surroundings in the water.

Last week, the President refused to sign the historic bipartisan housing bill that would help lower sky-high housing costs. The bill is still ready. The need is still urgent. Long Islanders and families across the country deserve action, not delays. It's time to sign this bill
