Secretary Noem offered assistance to New York ahead of the impending snowstorm.

I shared that the fastest way to help is for ICE to back off so people feel safe accessing warming centers, shelters, hospitals, and houses of worship.

Another horrific outcome from a federal operation that has clearly spun out of control.

Americans have had enough of lawless conduct masquerading as enforcement.

President Trump is responsible for putting a stop to it.
January 24, 2026 at 5:34 PM
Stop the war on children.
January 24, 2026 at 2:40 PM
We’re cracking down on fraud to drive down the cost of car insurance.

And I’ll never stop fighting to make life more affordable for New Yorkers.

Enacting universal child care.
Making historic investments in education, housing, and infrastructure.
Protecting New Yorkers from the chaos in Washington.

Our budget helps us build a stronger, safer, more affordable New York.
January 20, 2026 at 10:29 PM
A budget is a statement of values.

This budget protects taxpayers, invests responsibly, and delivers the services New Yorkers rely on, even as Washington pulls the rug out.

Because your family and your future are my fight.
January 20, 2026 at 9:50 PM
Universal child care means more opportunity for parents and a stronger start for our kids.

Let’s make it happen.
January 15, 2026 at 7:47 PM
Couldn’t have said it better myself.
January 14, 2026 at 10:06 PM
When New Yorkers move forward with strength and compassion side by side, there is no challenge we cannot meet, no tyrant we cannot beat, and no future we cannot build.
January 13, 2026 at 8:32 PM
It’s simple: We will build a New York that works for working people.
January 13, 2026 at 7:17 PM
No one is above the law.

From the President on down.

That’s why I will allow New Yorkers to hold ICE agents accountable in court when they act outside their lawful duties.
January 13, 2026 at 7:12 PM
New Yorkers deserve to know that what they see and hear is real.

We’re going to require clear labels on AI-generated political content and strengthen our ban on deepfakes that deceive voters.
January 13, 2026 at 7:06 PM
It’s go big or go home.

I want to scale us up to five gigawatts of nuclear power, more that's been built anywhere in the U.S. in the last 30 years.
January 13, 2026 at 7:04 PM
Housing. Infrastructure. Clean energy.

When communities say yes, New York will LET THEM BUILD.
January 13, 2026 at 6:59 PM
No addictive algorithms.
No predatory DMs.
No AI chatbots harming kids.

New York is setting THE national standard for protecting our kids online.
January 13, 2026 at 6:55 PM
We’ve cracked down on the iron pipeline.

Now we’re shutting down the plastic pipeline.

I’m proposing a first-in-the-nation law to require manufacturers of 3D printers to block the production of guns. Period.
January 13, 2026 at 6:52 PM
New Yorkers pay the highest auto insurance rates in the nation.

Not because of bad driving, but because fraud and runaway lawsuits jack up prices.

This is the year we put the brakes on it.
January 13, 2026 at 6:49 PM
One year ago, we put New York on the path to universal child care.

Today, we're laying out our roadmap for how we'll get there — for every family and for every community.
January 13, 2026 at 6:45 PM
Your family. Your future. My fight.

Join me live at 1:00 pm for my 2026 State of the State address.
January 13, 2026 at 2:42 PM
Universal child care.
Lower energy bills.
Cheaper car insurance.

Your family and your future are my fight — and fighting for you means putting more money back in your pockets.
January 12, 2026 at 9:44 PM
Ask any parent and they'll tell you: The cost of child care is too damn high.

I want to make life easier for them.

That's why we're delivering affordable, universal child care for children under five throughout New York State.
January 8, 2026 at 6:58 PM
Universal child care is coming to New York.
January 8, 2026 at 4:05 PM
Criminals use 3D-printed guns to evade the law and put lives at risk.

They're the nation’s fastest-growing gun safety threat.

New York will become the first state in the nation to require 3D printer manufacturers to block these firearms and components from being made.
January 7, 2026 at 10:20 PM
At El Museo del Barrio, New Yorkers and visitors from around the world gather to learn about the history and culture of our proud latino communities.

Three Kings Day reminds us that wherever we are from, here, we are one family.
January 6, 2026 at 6:59 PM
As the first mom governor, I'm doing everything in my power to keep our kids safe.

That's why I want to set a nation-leading standard to protect our kids from predators, scammers, and AI chatbots.

New York has led the way to protect kids online — and we're not slowing down.
