What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity.

And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

Over and over when we see these videos, there are little children dressed up to support their parents in courtโ€”who then are forced to witness their loving caregivers being beaten and kidnapped. I am so ashamed.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

HAPPENING NOW: Weโ€™re at 26 Fed Plaza, where ICE has been kidnapping immigrant NYers, to demand access to the 10th fl - where people are being inhumanely detained - and to block ICE vans from leaving.

We refuse to stand by while ICE abducts our neighbors. Neither should our leaders. #ICEoutofNY

Eric Adamsโ€™ Rent Guidelines Board just voted to increase your rent for the 4th year in a row. It will be the last.

Tenants across NYC have already spoken: we demand a rent freeze, and Zohran Mamdani will deliver it.
