Once again, New York Republicans are turning their backs on their neighbors to please Donald Trump.

1,000 jobs and $650 million are on the line.

They’d rather kiss the ring than protect their own state.

Day 7.

Jobs are on the line. Progress is under attack.

New Yorkers didn’t ask for the GOP shutdown — but they’re paying for it.

Today, Donald Trump attacked New Yorkers for political payback.

I will not sit idly by while his administration hurts New Yorkers.

The GOP shutdown has real consequences.

Working people are being held hostage by Donald Trump’s political games.

This isn’t leadership. It’s cruelty.

As Washington Republicans slash services for people with disabilities, New York is stepping up.

We’re launching Regional Disability Health Clinics statewide to bring care and support closer to home for New Yorkers with disabilities.

We can cut emissions and grow the economy at the same time.
@usclimate.bsky.social states are proving it: Creating thousands of jobs and making energy more affordable, all while reducing emissions by 24%.

Proud to be fighting alongside them.

Today I got my COVID-19 booster.

The science is clear, and so is my mission: Protect New Yorkers, no matter what Washington throws at us.

Providing police with the strongest crime-fighting technology.

Investing in community outreach, youth programs, and mental health.

Always ready to listen so we can do even more.

That’s how I’m delivering a safer New York.

Bravest is an understatement.

Today and every day, we honor our firefighters and all first responders who run towards danger to protect New Yorkers.

Their courage is an inspiration. Their sacrifices will never be forgotten.

At today’s ceremony at Ground Zero, I was reminded once again of the unbreakable spirit of New Yorkers.

We mourn together. We heal together.

And we honor every name, every hero, and every sacrifice.

Twenty-four years ago, New York and our nation changed forever.

We remember the nearly 3,000 souls taken on 9/11, the New Yorkers who went to work and never came home, and the heroes who ran toward danger to save others.

We will never forget.

I tried to settle a height debate today, but here’s something we can all agree on: No child should ever go hungry.

As kids here on Long Island and across New York head back to school, I'm proud we’ve made school meals free for every student.

Small businesses are the backbone of our communities. When a criminal targets them, they’re targeting all of us.

I vowed to crack down on retail theft — and as a result, it’s down 12%.

There’s more work to do, but our efforts are making a real difference.

105 years ago today, a movement born in Seneca Falls secured women the right to vote.

The fight for equality wasn’t over then, and it sure as hell isn’t over now.

Trump's big, ugly bill puts health care at risk for 272,000+ Bronx residents.

It hurts more health care workers, children, and seniors in the Bronx than anywhere else in our state.

@repritchie.bsky.social and I are standing up for them — and standing up to those who voted for this chaos.

For generations, East Harlem has been promised a new subway, but leaders failed to get it done. The time for promises is over. The time for building is here.

Today, the Second Avenue Subway extension is officially moving forward!
