On day 8 of our Administration, @governor.ny.gov and I announced the beginning of universal childcare in NYC.โฏNo longer will New Yorkers be forced to choose between starting a family and continuing to live in the city they love. This only happened because of you.

can't wait to see a certain section of the Internet have a total meltdown over this completely normal and wholesome moment
This morning, Ms. Rachel and I visited District 2 Pre-K Center, where we sang and read with the wonderful students and educators. We also discussed universal childcare - and how we're making it happen for NYC!

Hell, look at figure skating - it's *perceived* as a "gay" sport, but as Adam Rippon has shown us, the perception of outsiders doesn't match the reality of how figure skating actually is

I haven't seen it yet, but tbqh I think this is still pretty true of sports in general. Hockey IME leans on the more conservative side in this regard, but I don't think it's fundamentally that different in most other sports

like, if anything, the show is way too *optimistic* about how being gay would be treated (which makes sense, given that it's fiction and the genre)

The level of ethnic diversity NYC has even within its diasporic communities is unparalleled.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you havenโt seen them yet, itโs incredible. My favorite so far is last weekโs. Legit got me emotional.

Great piece about how gutting Section 230 will hurt marginalized people and help Big Tech www.losangelesblade.com/2026/01/08/r...
Repeal now, regret later: Section 230 is up for elimination, and itโs not the platforms who will pay the price
As lawmakers seek to repeal Section 230, one must ask, what does this mean for adult content creators, their consumers, and the platforms that bridge the two?

New York is limited by only what you want to find. Itโs a magical place if youโre open to it.
New York is diverse on a level that I have found it's hard to explain to someone who has lived in (e.g.) Europe their entire life and never traveled elsewhere.
I can cite statistics but they're so outside the realm of the familiar to people that they are too abstract to hold meaning.

need more cosmopolitan chauvinism imo. to be able to go to a world city and do this without crossing a border is something you should be proud of, it means you're a great country. To want to tear it down means you are inbred provincial hog with no greater drives than envy and fear.

One could read it as an attempt to shore up his credibility with the leftier parts of the district - "look, I paid respect to the DSA and made an effort".
It's a very different strategy from ignoring them and using them as a foil so that he can push more to the center.

If anything, the fact that Reynoso is making an attempt despite Clare Valdez having such strong DSA ties is a signal that he recognizes the DSA as a meaningful political force to be engaged with, a bloc that can't be disregarded or ignored.

Regardless of the outcome, it's pretty astonishing to see that *both* leading candidates in NY-7 are eagerly vying for the DSA endorsement.
This would have been unthinkable even a decade ago.

Next week's DSA endorsement forum will feature *both* Assembly Member Claire Valdez and Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso.
Valdez is clearly the DSA candidate in the race and will almost certainly get the socialist group's endorsement, but Reynoso still wants a chance to make his case.

Hochul is the one announcing it because she's the governor and she's the gatekeeper of the budget, but the credit for this lies 100% with Zohran Mamdani and the countless people who lobbied their legislators and the governor this last week through the Our Time organizing campaign.

Zohran Mamdani has only been the mayor for one week and already he's delivering on one of his three core campaign promises, AND it's going to apply to the entire state not just the city.
Stay winning!

The goal of the multiyear plan, which Ms. Hochul is expected to introduce alongside the mayor in an appearance Thursday morning and will be a part of her State of the State address on Jan. 13, would be to offer universal access to children statewide, her office said.
