Honored to attend @mta.info’s unveiling of the new 79th St subway tribute to Saul Zabar, a New York tribute fitting for a New York legend, just steps from his iconic store.

May his memory be a blessing, and this display a reminder of a true Upper West Sider.

This blatant abuse of power violates fundamental principles of law in a democratic society and erodes the independence and legitimacy of the criminal justice system.

I know AG James will be easily vindicated because these charges are completely without merit.

Trump’s handpicked, former personal attorney led the indictment against @NewYorkStateAG after others refused to prosecute.

The President is on a destructive path of retribution.

I strongly support this letter and join my colleagues in demanding transparency from the Trump Administration.

The Trump Administration’s unauthorized lethal strikes in the Caribbean Sea are unconstitutional and illegal.

The UWS and New York City lost one of the greats today. Saul Zabar built an institution that has supplied New Yorkers, including myself, with lox, babka, and whitefish for decades. My condolences to the Zabar family and may his memory be a blessing.

Americans want it, but Congressional Republicans and Donald Trump don’t.

Why?

So Trump can continue his vendetta campaign across the country by withholding already approved funds for critical infrastructure and energy projects and firing thousands of hard working Americans from their jobs.

Yesterday, the Trump Administration said it wants to punish New York over its sanctuary policies.

Today, it’s clearly about the shutdown.

The truth is, Trump doesn’t have any particular reason; he just wants to harm New York.

See you in court.

$100 million of this funding was intended for the NYPD, $15 million for the FDNY, and $13 million for the National Guard.

How does this make America safer?

This cut coincides with the Trump Administration's dangerous decision to cut nearly $200 million in federal funding for New York's counterterrorism and homeland security funding efforts.

Millions of riders rely on this system every day. With the 25th anniversary of 9/11 and the 2026 World Cup ahead, Trump’s transit-security cuts weaken counterterrorism readiness and public safety.

The Administration must restore the funds without delay.

Rep. Jerry Nadler @nadler.house.gov · 9d

After months of bad-faith attacks on the MTA’s safety, the Trump Administration has slashed tens of millions in transit-security funding for the agency.

Much of that money was slated for the NYPD, so the Administration is effectively defunding the police.

Rep. Jerry Nadler @nadler.house.gov · 9d

It should concern every American that the Trump Administration is willing to harm working families and our nation’s economy to punish Democrats.

This freeze must be reversed immediately.

Rep. Jerry Nadler @nadler.house.gov · 9d

The freeze will immediately hurt American families, Republicans and Democrats alike. More than 150,000 good-paying American jobs are on the line, and more than 300,000 commuters a day, of every political stripe, depend on these projects to keep the region moving.

This unprecedented political retribution could put our nation’s entire economy at risk. Experts have long warned that a Hudson Tunnel failure could trigger a regional recession that drags down the entire U.S. economy.

Rep. Jerry Nadler @nadler.house.gov · 9d

The Trump Administration is shamefully freezing funding for two of the most critical infrastructure projects in the nation because Democrats refused to rubber-stamp a plan that does nothing to stop Americans’ health insurance premiums from doubling.

These aren’t just local transportation projects.

The Associated Press @apnews.com · 9d

The Trump administration is putting a hold on roughly $18 billion to fund a new rail tunnel beneath the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey, as well as the city’s expanded Second Avenue subway project because of the government shutdown.

The President is prosecuting his “political enemies” and his retaliation knows no bounds. He has turned the Department of Justice into his personal weapon.

The American people see this for what it is - a dangerous abuse of power that will ultimately fail. Justice may be blind but she is not dumb.

If the government shuts down next week, Trump and Republicans own it.

They will be the cause of millions of Americans losing health care coverage, millions more crushed with rising premiums, and countless civil servants living in fear of losing their jobs.
