When pilots say controllers are overworked and safety data shows rising risk, leaders should act — not threaten more flight cuts. Donald Trump and Sec. Duffy are gambling with lives to score political points. Reopen the government, restore full operations, and pay our aviation workers.

Firing qualified immigration judges simply because their previous experience includes immigrant defense is a blatant attack on judicial independence and due process. AG Pam Bondi and the DOJ must explain these actions immediately. Justice demands fairness, not ideological loyalty, in our courts.

Trump’s shutdown is grounding planes, stranding travelers, and forcing air traffic controllers to work without pay. Sec. Duffy, you are putting Americans in danger. Stop playing political games with our travel system and urge House Republicans to return to Washington and open the government.

Heartbroken to hear of the tragic loss of a 27-year-old woman struck and killed in the West Village. My thoughts are with her family and loved ones. We must do more to make our streets safer for pedestrians and hold reckless drivers accountable. Thank you to the NYPD for ensuring justice is met.

Food pantries are running out of supplies and turning families away. 1.8 million of our neighbors are going hungry and being forced to choose between rent and food. All while Donald Trump sits on money that Congress already approved for SNAP. This is cruelty, plain and simple. Fund SNAP now.

Honored to celebrate @governorsisland.bsky.social's work building a greener, more resilient, and accessible city.   I'm proud to support the green innovation and growth developing on Governor’s Island so that we can properly address climate change and environmental resiliency.

Trump is making history for all the wrong reasons. 37 days into the longest shutdown ever, millions of Americans are being punished for his political games. Federal workers are going unpaid. Food stamps are frozen. Health care subsidies are about to expire. This chaos and cruelty must end.

The planned demolition of homes in the Palestinian village of Umm Al-Kheir is cruel, unjust, and will only deepen division and suffering.   I am proud to stand alongside my colleagues in urging PM Netanyahu to halt this action immediately and uphold basic human rights and international law.

It was a privilege to present the Community Changemaker Award to Rosa Chang of Gotham Park at @paceuniversity.bsky.social last night.   Her vision turned a forgotten stretch beneath the Brooklyn Bridge into a thriving public space. She is a testament to what community leadership looks like in NY-10.

Even the Supreme Court is skeptical, and for good reason. Trump’s reckless tariffs are an abuse of power that punish small business and working families already struggling with high prices. They aren’t “life or death” for the country. They’re life or death for Americans trying to stay afloat.

First, Trump turned the presidency into a personal piggy bank. Now, he’s turned the White House into a fundraising venue.   What are the private donors giving millions of dollars to this vanity project expecting to get in return?   Senator Blumenthal is right to demand answers.

Refusing to pay furloughed workers isn’t a “discussion,” it’s a clear violation of a federal law that Trump himself signed.    Suggesting otherwise is an illegal and cruel insult to the hundreds of thousands of dedicated public servants being punished for a shutdown he caused.

The vile antisemitic vandalism at Magen David Yeshiva is a disgusting act of hate and a dangerous attack on our city's Jewish community. 
Antisemitism continues to rise and we cannot allow it to be normalized. All New Yorkers must condemn this hate. I thank @nypdnews.bsky.social for investigating.

Trump’s shutdown has pushed our air traffic system to the brink. Half of all major airports are understaffed. Flights are delayed. Controllers are working unpaid double shifts.    The GOP would rather ground our planes than make health care affordable for millions of Americans.

At a roundtable this week, I heard a story about a 70-year-old neighbor who tragically said, “Since there’s no food right now, now’s a good time to die.” This is the cruelty of Trump withholding available SNAP funding to make people starve. We have the funding. We need to fully release it now.

Trump is now openly defying a court order so that he can try to extort Democrats by starving 42 million Americans who depend on SNAP to eat. It won’t work. Reps. Malliotakis, Lawler, and Stefanik: do you support using starvation as a political weapon?

As Democrats have said for 3 weeks, despite the shutdown, Trump had the money for SNAP all along. He chose not to feed the poor and used the shutdown as pretext. If he hadn't held SNAP hostage, there would not have been a funding delay, and 42M people would not be going hungry.

Vulnerable Americans should never be pawns in Trump’s political games.   If you or a loved one depend on SNAP benefits to make ends meet, please visit my website for resources on local food banks and community organizations helping fellow New Yorkers during this cruel lapse in benefits.

Sending our thanks to Rep. Dan Goldman for standing with us during our recent Production Contract negotiations.

Even as the Trump administration stops short of fully funding SNAP payments this month, the USDA is warning grocery stores NOT to help families in need. Instead of fixing the crisis they created, they’re making it harder for parents to feed their kids. Absolutely shameful.

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social and Sec. Duffy are recklessly creating an air travel catastrophe. Forcing air traffic controllers to miss paychecks and leave their jobs before the holiday season jeopardizes safety.   End the shutdown now. Pay our essential workers and stop holding our travel system hostage.

Tonight at 2:00 AM, Daylight Saving Time officially ends. Don't forget to "fall back" and set your clocks back one hour before you go to bed.   Enjoy that extra hour of sleep!

Proud to join Mixteca and our Sunset Park neighbors in celebrating Día de los Muertos! This beautiful tradition reminds us that our strength comes from community and from those who came before us. Grateful to Mixteca for keeping that spirit alive and supporting Brooklyn’s Latino families every day.

This #AmericanDiabetesMonth, we honor all impacted by diabetes. I'm fighting to end the shutdown and secure health care funding that keeps care affordable.   Let's support the @amdiabetesassn.bsky.social as they work to prevent, manage, and cure this disease.

Vulnerable Americans should never be pawns in Trump’s political games.   If you or a loved one depend on SNAP benefits to make ends meet, please visit my website for resources on local food banks and community organizations helping fellow New Yorkers during this cruel lapse in benefits.

I commend the NYPD, DEA, and US Attorney for the SDNY for charging 19 defendants in a massive drug ring that infested Washington Square Park.   The 6th Precinct is following up the takedown with an operation to continue to protect the Park. This is the cooperation that keeps our communities safe.

Two courts ordered the Trump administration to pay out SNAP benefits because Congress already appropriated money for that — exactly what Dems have been saying. Imagine: Trump tried to unlawfully withhold food stamps for the poor to use hunger as a political weapon. Shocking but not surprising.

Wishing all the ghosts, goblins, and superheroes in NY-10 a wonderful Halloween! Our fight in Washington is for a better future for our children, but for tonight, I hope everyone has a fun, safe night of trick-or-treating.

Nuclear testing is destructive to our safety and security. By unilaterally threatening to resume tests, Trump is isolating the US, betraying decades of nonproliferation efforts, and inviting escalation from adversaries. Our national security requires nuclear de-escalation, not Cold War escalation.

For years, the NYC DEP denied having any files on 9/11 air quality. Now, after a lawsuit, they admit they have 40 BOXES of documents. This is a betrayal of the 9/11 community. It is a violation of FOIL. The DOI must investigate who hid these files, and there must be immediate accountability.

While Trump uses the shutdown to gut SNAP benefits for families and fire federal workers, he’s building a lavish ballroom using $300M from shady corporate donors looking to curry favor with him.   Our government is closed for the people who need it, but the White House is open to the highest bidder.

The GOP shutdown is an economic catastrophe that has already cost the US economy up to $14 billion.    Now the Trump administration is refusing to spend money Congress gave to it to fund SNAP food benefits beginning Saturday. Speaker Johnson: End your vacation and reopen the government.

13 years after Hurricane Sandy, we honor the New Yorkers we lost and remember the devastation to our homes, businesses and city. The recovery is ongoing but so is our resolve. We must continue to invest in resiliency projects and emergency preparedness to ensure our communities are safe and strong.

42 million Americans will lose access to food assistance this weekend for one reason: Donald Trump thinks hunger makes good politics. Proud to stand with @newyorkstateag.bsky.social as she fights this illegal and deliberate act of cruelty.

Great discussion last night with the neighbors of the West Village Houses. Special thanks to Eddie Rodriguez, Julia Rosner, and Lynn Wong. We're on the frontlines against Trump’s attempts to destroy healthcare and block federal funds. We will hold the line on affordability and protect NYC families.

I joined Manhattan Community Board 3 last night to discuss the Trump shutdown and his administration’s war on immigrants in New York City. Grateful for the dedicated, engaged community board members who are standing with me in this fight.

At the end of the week, 42 million children, seniors, and parents will lose their SNAP benefits — solely because Donald Trump is choosing not to release funds the government has for this very purpose. Stop punishing working families. Fund SNAP now.

Last week, ICE detained 4 US citizens during a military-style raid on Canal St. After my office intervened, they were released without charges. I’m demanding a full accounting of this abuse and will work to ensure all New Yorkers are protected from Trump's masked ICE agents.

Donald Trump is choosing to make life harder for more than 40 million Americans by refusing to release SNAP benefits on November 1. Trump’s USDA has the money to keep those benefits flowing, but is refusing to use it. We’re demanding USDA act now to feed 42 million Americans.

Joel Camas, just 16 years old, had lawful status on a path to permanent residency. He followed every rule and law, yet when he showed up for his immigration appointment, he was whisked away by ICE. I am working to ensure Joel receives the due process he's entitled to.

Trump is asking his own former personal attorneys, who he installed to run the DOJ, for a $230M taxpayer-funded payout. He would have been convicted in both cases, and this blatant corruption would make even Vladimir Putin blush. House GOP: Do you support this corruption?

Yet again, masked agents have brought their mass deportation dragnet to our streets, using excessive force to indiscriminately detain and arrest non-violent individuals while stoking fear in all NYers. My office is committed to assisting our constituents and holding this administration accountable.

Proud to join Chobani and The LES Girls Club to pack meals for New Yorkers facing hunger. As Republicans move to block SNAP benefits for 3M New Yorkers, community groups like these are stepping up where Trump has failed. The GOP must stop playing politics with basic necessities like food.

No one is above the law — not ICE, not CBP, and not Donald Trump. Federal agents who assault or detain New Yorkers without legal authority must be held accountable and the NYPD must protect our neighbors if the federal government refuses to.

As ICE deports, arrests, and assaults law-abiding New Yorkers, it's clear that DHS will not hold its own officers accountable. When federal officials abuse their authority, they are not immune from local laws. I'm calling on the NYPD to protect our neighbors if ICE breaks the law.

I’m pleased to see that Actors’ Equity and Broadway producers engaged in good faith negotiations and reached a deal that supports workers and keeps New York’s world-class theater scene thriving. I continue to urge Broadway and Local 802 AFM to return to the table and come to a fair deal.

Beginning Nov 1, Trump announced he will cut off food assistance for 3m New Yorkers.     He’s starving our communities all to punish Democrats for protecting affordable health care.     I joined my colleagues from across NYC to condemn this unacceptable assault on our working families.

I'm outraged that the Park Service is erasing trans and bisexual people from the history of Stonewall. This is a deliberate attack on the legacy of the Stonewall Uprising and the civil rights earned. @repmarktakano.bsky.social, @repritchie.bsky.social and I won't allow the truth to be rewritten.

Community health centers are the bedrock of our health care system, serving every New Yorker, regardless of income or insurance. Yesterday, I met with @ryanhealthnyc.bsky.social and CHC leaders to discuss how the shutdown and Big Ugly Bill cuts could devastate affordable care.

Two weeks into the GOP’s government shutdown, my Democratic colleagues and I are in DC and ready to work for the American people and make health care affordable. Republicans are nowhere to be found. Democrats are ready, willing and able to open the government while Republicans just don’t care.
