Donald Trump's judicial attack on AG James is anti-American, anti-democratic, and dangerous.

Two years later we remember those killed in Hamas' horrific terrorist attack on October 7, 2023, the hostages who died later and those still being held, the unimaginable destruction and tens of thousands killed in Gaza, and those now displaced and starving. This war must end.

Crypto miners are driving up electricity costs while providing nothing of value to the state or local communities. My bill w/@amannakelles.bsky.social will ensure they pay their fair share of the costs they create, while helping regular NYers pay the bills. More: www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/pre...

The data is clear that for-profit hospice leads to lower quality care at a time when patients are most vulnerable. I urge @governor.ny.gov to sign my bill with @amypaulin.bsky.social to stop the expansion of for-profit hospice in New York. www.timesunion.com/opinion/arti...

Commentary: New York must act now to protect quality hospice care

Legislation awaiting the governor's signature would block the expansion of for-profit hospice providers, making sure patients remain the top priority.

Hot off the presses🔆: @emilyassembly.bsky.social & @lizkrueger.bsky.social just introduced the #SUNNYAct--a bill to make #BalconySolar possible in New York.

We're psyched to support this bill in the coming year and make solar accessible to renters and apartment residents across the city and state!🔆

Balcony solar is a powerful tool to deliver enhanced energy independence and affordability to millions of New Yorkers who are currently shut out of the solar economy. Sunshine is free, and my bill with @emilyassembly.bsky.social will let NYers finally plug in.

It turns out that when you stand up to Trump's lawlessness instead of trying to make deals that are just giving a mouse a cookie, you can have modern energy generation without building old-fashioned, dirty, expensive pipelines. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/c...

Empower+ is a highly successful program the reduces NYers' energy costs as well as their emissions. As Trump beats an embarrassing retreat from US climate leadership, we must ensure Empower+ has the support it needs to help even more NYers save money. www.syracuse.com/opinion/2025...

The Trump playbook:

✅Step 1: Make things worse for Americans.
✅Step 2: Cover up the evidence.
✅Step 3: Declare America "great again!"
✅Step 4: Repeat.

The last-minute changes made to substantial equivalency standards in this year’s budget were shameful. They abandoned our moral and legal responsibility to ensure that all our children receive a basic education, and they will hurt Jewish children the most. www.timesunion.com/state/articl...

New Yorkers are being railroaded into paying for Donald Trump's pipeline, a gift to his Big Oil donors on our dime. Today's PSC vote was a setback, but there is still time for @governor.ny.gov to put a stop to this nonsense.

PSC should not fast-track National Grid's erroneous claims about the NESE pipeline. It will raise costs for NYers and set back our climate targets, and we shouldn't be rushing into it. My statement with @senatorharckham.bsky.social and @deborahjglick.bsky.social: www.nysenate.gov/newsroom/pre...

Ezra Klein is right: “Political violence is contagious... It should terrify us all. The foundation of a free society is the ability to participate in it without fear of violence. Political violence is always an attack against us all.”
