A recent report from WIN NYC shows that 80% of women have faced some type of job disruption due to child care challenges.

That is unacceptable. And it’s why we’re going to make universal child care a reality.

The best part of today? Talking with students about their favorite classes (and favorite school meals!)

We made school meals free across New York State – 275 million served and counting – because we know that success in the classroom starts in the cafeteria.

The Festival of Colors signifies rebirth and awakening as we welcome spring after a long and historic winter.

Wishing a very happy Holi to all who celebrate! होली की शुभकामनाएं

Donald Trump's attempt to kill congestion pricing just failed in court — and in spectacular fashion.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: The cameras are staying on.

New York is home to the largest Dominican community outside the island — over one million strong. Your culture and resilience are woven into the fabric of our state. 🇩🇴

On the 182nd anniversary of Dominican Independence Day, we celebrate them and invest in our shared future.

Trump’s tariffs are a backdoor tax that cost New Yorkers over $13 billion.

On behalf of small businesses like Victor’s and families across our state: pay us back, in full, now.

The FBI cannot function under a cloud of repeated leadership failures.

Few roles carry greater responsibility to keep Americans safe.

Kash Patel must resign.

New Yorkers, heavy snow and strong winds are still impacting parts of our state.

If you don’t need to travel, please stay home and keep the roads clear for plows and first responders.

Check on your neighbors, especially older adults, and report power outages.

Stay safe, New York.

A major winter storm is impacting New York now.

If you live on Long Island, New York City, or the Hudson Valley, avoid travel today into Monday.

Sign up for emergency alerts by texting your county or borough name to 333111.

New York is ready. We’ll get through this together.

I won't let Donald Trump stand in the way of building more homes and stronger communities.

After the Trump administration pulled $16 million from New Rochelle's LINC Project, we stepped in.

New York State funding will get this critical project back on track.

This week, I met with Sikh New Yorkers who spoke about the violent attacks their community has endured — incidents that are too often underreported.

As anti-immigrant rhetoric fuels fear in communities across the country, New York stands firm. Hate has no place here. Period.

New Rochelle said yes to housing. It worked.

4,500 homes built since 2020.
Rents stabilizing.
Communities reconnecting.

When communities say YES to housing, we’re going to LET THEM BUILD.

I've got a message for the White House on behalf of the union workers Donald Trump laid off when he illegally shutdown the Gateway tunnel:

LET THEM BUILD.

Infrastructure can be hard after you’ve made a career of stiffing contractors and running projects over budget and behind schedule.

These tunnels were built in 1910 and carry the busiest passenger rail line in America.

Release the funding and let us build.

From Buffalo to Long Island, Black communities continue to define the spirit of New York through courage, creativity, and strength.

We are proud to celebrate their lasting impact today and every day.

NEW: The Trump administration’s legal stay to avoid funding the Gateway Tunnel has expired.

Donald Trump needs to follow the law and get the project back on track immediately.

Stonewall is a symbol in New York and across America of the strength and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.

They deserve better than the vitriol they’ve endured from the Trump Administration.

They can count on their Governor to stand with them every step of the way.

I spent the day on Long Island talking with seniors, small business owners, and families.

The conversations I had all came back to one thing: Prices are too high.

New Yorkers need relief — and we’re delivering it.

Today I heard directly from auto workers and customers about the brazen acts of fraud that are jacking up auto insurance premiums.

Cracking down on these fraudsters is one way we will help lower costs for drivers here on Long Island and across the state.

LGBTQ Pride flag removed from NYC Stonewall National Monument after Trump admin. directive Apparently following orders from a Jan. 21 memo from the U.S. Department of the Interior, the large pride flag was removed over the weekend.

First the Trump Administration worked to erase transgender history from the Stonewall Monument and now they have secretly removed the pride flag — a shameful attempt to erase our LGBTQ history.

I will not let this administration rollback the rights we fought so hard for.

More homes means a more affordable New York.

Today I stood with @mayor.nyc.gov and our partners in labor to send a clear message: Let them build.

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.

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.

New York sues Trump administration over funding freeze for Hudson River tunnels The administration put a hold on the funding in September.

As part of Donald Trump’s revenge tour, his administration is illegally withholding Gateway Tunnel funding, risking thousands of jobs and jeopardizing America’s most critical infrastructure project.

We’ll see them in court.
