Proud to join @cmrestler.bsky.social, @agounardes.bsky.social, @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social , and @repdangoldman.bsky.social in demanding a ban on nonessential flights from heliports in New York City! What our neighborhoods experienced during the Ryder Cup was completely unacceptable.

As chairs of the Senate & Assembly Mental Health Committees, Senator Brouk & I know what works when it comes to our mental health system — and we see only one NYC mayoral candidate with a clear, effective plan: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social. We proudly endorse him for Mayor.

Statement from Eight Task Force Members of the Brooklyn Marine Terminal Task Force Vote Against the EDC Proposal.

Shana Tova U'metuka! Wishing all who celebrate a happy, healthy, and sweet new year filled with love, growth, and sweet beginnings.

The PSC’s approval of the NESE pipeline is a betrayal to NYers. They have sided with the fossil fuel industry at the expense of our wallets, health & future. This decision locks us into expensive, polluting pipelines, with the costs passed onto ratepayers. cbs6albany.com/news/local/n...

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the history, culture, & countless contributions of the Hispanic & Latino communities. From art & history to education to video resources, there are numerous opportunities to honor & enjoy this rich heritage throughout NYC.

50+ legislators joined @lizkrueger.bsky.social & me in urging @governor.ny.gov to sign our energy affordability bill. Ending NY's 100-foot rule will save customers $200M annually on their utility bills & protect our climate. Read the full letter here: drive.google.com/file/d/1rHFf...

Sip, chat, connect! Join me for Java with Jo Anne on Monday, September 29th, at 9:30 AM at Squarrel Cafe, 572 Atlantic Ave. We’ll chat about local issues, community updates, and legislative priorities. RSVP here: bit.ly/SeptJava

24 yrs ago, nearly 3,000 innocent lives were lost. We remember them, along with our first responders & survivors. The sky that day really was the bluest of blues. I'll always remember that blue sky, the ashes that fell & the resilience & compassion we saw as we came together to grieve & heal.

I am again partnering with @NYULangoneBK in Cobble Hill and @Sen_Gounardes to provide free flu shots to the community on Thurs. October 9th, 2pm – 7pm, 70 Atlantic Ave. Insurance is not required. Please make an appointment: bit.ly/FluShot2025

Gov. Hochul must stop Trump’s polluting fracked gas pipelines. The proposed Williams NESE pipeline threatens NY waters & would keep us tied to dirty fossil fuels. To make matters worse, the ratepayer would pay for the pipe through a higher monthly utility bill!

Thanks to @PoliticsNYNews for spotlighting my key priorities from the past year, including repealing the costly 100-ft rule, advancing the LICH Act for stronger healthcare transparency, and continuing to work on gun safety and affordability. politicsny.com/2025/08/28/i...

Texas House Approves Redistricting Maps, Just as Trump Wanted www.nytimes.com/2025/08/20/u... Another disgraceful dereliction of duty by GOP lapdogs of DJT. Let’s go California!

The situation in Gaza is dire, with widespread hunger endangering the lives of children and families. I’m proud to stand with Attorney General Letitia James and other colleagues demanding immediate aid and a diplomatic solution in this crisis.

Thank you to @FDNY and all emergency responders for their swift response to a Brooklyn Heights office fire. Wishing a speedy recovery to the two firefighters and one civilian who sustained minor injuries. brooklyneagle.com/articles/202...

Devastated by the mass shooting in Midtown that killed four people & seriously injured another, including an off-duty NYPD officer. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, & everyone affected. Grateful to the first responders who rushed to help. www.cnn.com/us/live-news...

Our office is currently under construction, but you can still meet with us in person at our upcoming constituent service events. If you need help navigating public benefits, connecting w/ agencies, or have questions about local issues, you can meet with my team at local libraries.

STATEMENT FROM TEN MEMBERS OF THE BROOKLYN MARINE TERMINAL TASK FORCE ON TODAY’S VOTE POSTPONEMENT @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social

Turning the Brooklyn Marine Terminal into a “harbor of the future” requires more than a slogan; it requires a real plan. brooklyneagle.com/articles/202...

The Concrete Facility in Columbia Street Waterfront is finally closing!

I testified before the Department of Public Service to oppose Con Edison's proposed rate hikes. These hikes only deepen the affordability crisis, burdening working families & keeping NY tied to costly, polluting fossil fuels.

When police wear masks, democracy loses its face. Thank you to @bradlander.bsky.social, @marklevinenyc.bsky.social, @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social, and Grace Lee for standing with me to announce the introduction of the MELT Act which will prevent ICE from covering their face to hide their identity.

Trump's budget bill will be a disaster for our climate & will hike up energy costs in every state. NY State must break free from its outdated obligation to dirty fracked gas & embrace cleaner, modern energy sources that are less expensive. www.cnn.com/2025/06/27/c...

TY to everyone who joined us this morning at Saturn Road Coffee! We had a thoughtful & energizing conversation covering everything from the NY HEAT Act & other urgent environmental issues to housing & key takeaways from this year’s legislative session.

Horrible, hateful person without any sense of how to do his job legally

What a day at NYC Pride! Grateful to march alongside the LGBTQ+ community and allies who are loud, proud, and pushing for progress every step of the way.

Sip, chat, connect! Join me for Java with Jo Anne on Monday, July 7th at 9:30 AM at Saturn Road, 276 Court Street. We’ll chat about local issues, community updates, or whatever’s on your mind. RSVP here: bit.ly/JulyJava

Thrilled this bill passed! Utility companies shouldn’t have a blank check to expand polluting gas pipelines & force NYers to pay for it. This isn’t everything we hoped for, but it's a step toward a healthier & more affordable NY. TY to @lizkrueger.bsky.social & the outstanding advocates.

Vote early, NYC! June 24th is NYC's Primary Election, but you can start voting on Sat., June 14. 6/14 is also the last day to register to vote in the primary or order an absentee ballot online. Find your poll site: vote.nyc/page/find-yo... Check your registration: vote.nyc/page/am-i-re...

Thank You Assemblymember @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social for Putting People Over Plastic. Please work to get the Plastics Reduction Bill, A1749 to the floor for a vote! @speakercarlheastie.bsky.social @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social

I'm thrilled that the Assembly & Senate passed our LICH bill! This will ensure public input & state oversight in hospital closures. Thanks to the advocates & labor for their support. Onto the Governor!

This is why New York enacted a law requiring safe, secure storage of firearms in homes! www.nydailynews.com/2025/06/09/g...

Look in the mirror, Donald.

580 NYers a year die prematurely from extreme heat. And it's getting hotter. NYers need cooling options, but they can't afford rising energy bills. @nyccomptroller.bsky.social's new report drives home the need for affordable energy & my #NYHEAT Act. 👇 gothamist.com/news/more-ne...

How are Federal policies impacting State & City budgets? Join us for a Community Town Hall on this topic. We will hear from a panel of experts, followed by audience Q&A. - Sat. June 7th at 11am - MS 51, 350 5th Ave. Brooklyn - RSVP: bit.ly/lighttheway-june7

For 20+ years, the public has waited for the affordable housing that Atlantic Yards promised. Now Empire State Development is letting the developer off the hook, by not collecting over $1.7M/month in penalties. Our communities deserve accountability and housing, not broken promises.

Join EDC for the next workshop on the Brooklyn Marine Terminal, Mon, June 6, 6–8 pm. This hybrid meeting will feature a presentation on the final site plan, project commitments, next steps on governance & approval process, & Q&A. RSVP here: nycedc.formstack.com/forms/bmt_pu...

Electeds shouldn't enrich themselves on unregulated crypto schemes. Our bill stops electeds & their families from promoting or creating meme coins. I'm proud to work with @zellnor.bsky.social to strengthen ethics in government.

I never would have thought 22 years later we’d still be worried about 40% of the housing not being built. The AY developer is being let off the hook for failing to deliver affordable housing by the deadline, proving what we've long warned. gothamist.com/news/ny-lets...

While Trump cozies up to his memecoin backers, we're introducing first-in-the-nation legislation. Proud to sponsor w/ @zellnor.bsky.social a bill to ban electeds & their families from profiting off crypto while in office. Read more below: news.bgov.com/bloomberg-go...

The EmPIRE Act is NY’s defense against Trump’s attack on workers. Workers from across NYS gathered at the Capitol demanding action against rampant wage theft by powerful employers who silence workers. Let’s pass my bill & protect the rights & wages of NY’s workers.

Join us for our Older Adult Resource Fair this Friday! Learn about healthcare, community resources, government, & legal services. - Fri, May 30th, 10am - 2pm - St. Francis College, 179 Livingston St - Town Hall at 1pm on "Staying Connected" - Dental, hearing & prostate screenings.

Too many New Yorkers have lost their homes to deed theft and didn’t realize it until it was too late. A new look-back bill would give those victims a chance to fight back and reclaim what’s rightfully theirs. www.bkreader.com/policy-gover...
