Proud to stand with bipartisan law enforcement and county leaders today backing the Local Cops, Local Crimes Act.

Local police should focus on local crime. That's what keeps New Yorkers safe.

Our local police are here to keep local communities safe.

I won’t let a rogue federal agency turn them into immigration agents.
February 9, 2026 at 4:53 PM
Always.

To get to the bottom of car insurance fraud, I went straight to the experts at TACS Autobody in Glenmont.

We’re pumping the brakes on sky high insurance premiums.

New York knows how to rise to the moment — and so do our athletes. Best of luck to all the incredible New Yorkers competing for Team USA at the #WinterOlympics!

We’re with you all the way. 🇺🇸 🥇

Work on the Gateway Tunnel is now halted, with federal funding still frozen.

Thousands of jobs on the line. Billions in economic benefits at risk.

All because Donald Trump is on a revenge tour.

We’re fighting this illegal action to deliver for New Yorkers.

Declaring January as Muslim American Heritage Month is about lifting up our Muslim neighbors who make New York, New York.

Grateful to gather in New York City to celebrate their contributions to our great state! Barak Allahu Feekum.

New York, we’re not through this winter storm just yet. Stay off the roads, check on your neighbors, and stay safe.

Secretary Noem has forfeited her right to lead. I’m calling on her to resign.

Gregory Bovino must also be fired.

No one, not an ICE agent, not a federal officer, not a president, is above the law.

Stop the war on children.

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
Housing. Infrastructure. Clean energy.

When communities say yes, New York will LET THEM BUILD.
January 13, 2026 at 6:59 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
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.

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.

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.

Congestion pricing is working. The cameras are staying on.

Prolonged social media use poses real risks, especially for young people: Anxiety. Depression. Poor mental health.

New York is requiring warning labels on addictive social media feeds to help kids understand that risk.

This is a public health issue. We're treating it like one.
