We kicked off my re-election! It was great to see so many neighbors yesterday in Astoria. Thank you to my friend and our Democratic nominee for Mayor, @ZohranKMamdani for joining us and for your support. Our movement has won and we’re only just getting started 🌹
We got him making man on the street videos with a guy in carhartt. By next week, he'll be sipping adeni chai and eating khaliat al nahl.
Photo from a source: @andrewcuomo on the Upper East Side—93rd & 2nd—this morning with top campaign aide @melissadderosa shooting what looks like an ad—as he’s reportedly staying in the mayoral race. Hasn’t held a press conference since losing the Democratic primary.
Earlier this week we submitted our first fundraising report for the 2026 campaign and thanks to the support of over 170 neighbors in our district we’ve qualified for matching funds! Thank you for being part of this journey. I couldn’t do it without you 💜🌹
The Democratic Primary did not go the way I had hoped either. 🤷🏻♂️ But unlike Andrew Cuomo, I’m capable of listening to New Yorkers. (Also, I like to think I got a little better at making videos as the campaign progressed) Help @ZohranKMamdani crush Andrew Cuomo a second time:…
In it to win it.
28% of @EliseStefanik’s constituents use Medicaid and 1/3rd of North Country kids are covered by it. Her vote for the Big Ugly Bill could rip that coverage away and force hospitals to close. Her district will suffer—and Elise is taking a victory lap. adirondackdailyenterprise.com/news/local-new…
Antisemitism has no place in our society, digitally or otherwise. We must address the irresponsible use of AI in high-risk use cases in the next legislative session. The risk of discrimination is too high. The NY AI Act can help us protect New Yorkers from hate speech and bias.

Every American should read this ACLU lawsuit about what is happening in California. It is the stuff of dystopian nightmares. This is not immigration enforcement. It is positively stuffed with videos and articles documenting racial profiling on a scale unseen since Jim Crow.
This is a dark day for our nation. Republicans have chosen to give tax breaks to billionaires and corporations while cutting vital services for everyday working people. As we prepare for a potential special legislative session we must act and tax the rich!
BREAKING: The House just passed the massive budget bill. This legislation will gut health care, food assistance, clean energy and more to fund massive tax cuts for the super-rich. It now goes to Trump's desk.
The president of the United States is threatening arrest and deportation of an American citizen who just won the Democratic nomination for mayor of NYC. This is not normal. This is not acceptable. These are the words of an unhinged would-be dictator. I condemn this…
Trump threatened New York City Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani with arrest and promised the federal government would look into the state lawmaker’s citizenship. Read more: specne.ws/9tKknR
New Yorkers are struggling to live in a city that is increasingly unaffordable. This rent increase is a failure for the working class. We must freeze the rent!
NYC Rent Guidelines Board just voted to raise rents by • 3% on 1-year leases • 4.5% on 2-year leases The new increases for rent-stabilized apartments take effect on leases signed on or after Oct. 1
A major win!! New York is an AI leader and we plan to stay that way.
A MAJOR WIN! 🎉 I’m proud to have joined several state legislators, advocates, and labor unions to oppose this measure. States must be allowed to pass safe AI regulations that protect our constituents. Let’s keep up the fight.
Weeks ago, I led a letter to House leadership opposing this provision—many NY electeds signed on! I’ve since joined a multi-state working group of state legislators to lobby the U.S. Senate. Thank you, Gov Hochul, for your support. NY is an AI leader and we plan to stay that way.
NEW: I led a letter to Republican House leadership opposing a provision in the reconciliation bill that would impose a 10-year moratorium on state and local AI regulation. 50+ state legislators signed on. NY House Republicans cannot support this. cityandstateny.com/politics/2025/…

The moratorium just got taken out of the budget bill in a LANDSLIDE vote. 99 to 1. Incredible. Thank you to the lawmakers, the children's advocates, the artists and creators, the voters, the labor groups, and everyone who spoke out against the harmful AI law moratorium.
The continued pursuit of a Federal AI Moratorium is a mistake. The amendments added to the Republicans’ proposal still endanger everyday people & sets a dangerous precedent in broadly undermining states’ rights. Congressional reps on both sides of the aisle must reject it now.
The latest AI-Moratorium amendment GUTS protections under the guise of compromise. ❌ Cuts state's rights for 5 yrs ❌ Undermines CSAM & artist laws with vague “undue burden” test ❌ Triggers lawsuits Analysis: law-ai.org/the-ai-morator… @RepAndyHarrisMD @mtgreenee @freedomcaucus

.@ZohranKMamdani decisively won the Democratic nomination. He is a loving son and husband, and community organizer who puts the people first. The vile, Islamophobic attacks on him are disgusting and the normalization of anti-Muslim hate is dangerous.
As Justice Sotomayor wrote, this ruling is a travesty. This ruling furthers Trump’s attacks on the judiciary, which we cannot allow if our Democracy is to stand. We won’t go back and here in NY, we must pass protections for our immigrant neighbors and fight this regime.

It’s a NEW day! Tonight we learned that OUR movement for a better NYC is not only possible it’s within reach. No matter the money, no matter the ads, a Muslim Democratic socialist just won this race. WE are taking back our city!
