My heart goes out to Charlie Kirk’s family. His death is a tragedy. This year we have seen several heinous acts of political violence. This bloodshed has no place in our democracy.

The fed govt’s $7.5B cut to NY’s Essential Plan will detrimentally affect 1.7M NYers. 450K will lose coverage, 1.3M will face reduced benefits, and hospitals, employers & our economy will feel the strain.

Today we remember the lives lost on September 11th, 2001, honor the heroic first responders, and vow to never forget.

When we safeguard our children, we protect our future and the future of New York State. Three more of my bills to protect children have now passed in the Assembly and Senate

I stand strongly and unequivocally with Israel. Israel has taken decisive action to defend its people and its future. No nation should be forced to wait for violence to strike before protecting its citizens.

Good news from Albany - more of my bills have passed in the Assembly! 🎯 ✅ A.1382 - Ensuring day care centers are free from controlled substances ✅ A.1988 - Helping hospitals establish age-friendly health systems ✅ A.3939 - Supporting family members when a loved one dies with the proper resources

Several more of my bills have passed in the Assembly! As we near the end of the legislative session in Albany, I continue to work hard to pass legislation that matters to New Yorkers. 💪 . . . @senatorcooney.bsky.social @lizkrueger.bsky.social @jamesskoufis.bsky.social

I'm so proud to have passed this bill which requires law enforcement officers to take temporary custody of firearms when responding to family violence incidents - a critical step towards protecting domestic violence survivors and preventing deadly escalation.

The Medical Aid in Dying Act (A.136/S.138) has just passed tonight in the Senate by a vote of 35 to 27- a historic step for dignity and choice at the end of life. I am grateful to my Senate partner, @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social, whose advocacy has helped us reach this historic moment.

The horrific attack in Kashmir, where innocent Hindu pilgrims were brutally gunned down, shatters the heart. My thoughts are with the victims, families, and the Hindu American community grieving this senseless act of hate.

We're grateful to @amypaulin.bsky.social for putting people over plastic in New York by co-sponsoring A1749, the Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act to reduce single-use packaging by 30%. @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social, please bring this bill to the floor for a vote.

At this week’s press conference on the Medical Aid in Dying Act, I was proud to stand with @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social, whose advocacy in the Senate continues to move this vital issue forward. Having passed this bill in the Assembly, it’s time for the Senate to act.

Yesterday, the Assembly passed the Medical Aid in Dying Act, which allows terminally ill patients to request medication to peacefully end their suffering (A.136). New Yorkers facing unbearable pain deserve compassion, care, and the right to choose a dignified death.
