Today my bill was signed into law making NY the FIRST STATE IN THE NATION to require ingredient disclosure on menstrual product packaging. We have a #righttoknow what’s in tampons & pads. I’m thrilled to lead NYs charge to achieve real #MenstrualEquity #detoxthebox #DayoftheGirl
#MAGA Republicans decided it was more important to cater to the depraved whims of Trump than to the needs of everyday ppl. Stripping 1.5M NYers + 17M Americans of healthcare + food is evil. See you at the 🗳️ next Nov — especially NY’s 7 #GOP members. nytimes.com/live/2025/07/0…
When the #GOP said they’d address the affordability crisis, they meant for billionaires. Donald Trump and his #MAGA minions are stripping millions of #NYers of their healthcare + food benefits. Urge our 7 #NY GOP congressional members to *actually* fight for our neighbors.
If this isn’t animal cruelty then I don’t know what is — a horrifying miscarriage of justice. 📢We are not done fighting. Horse carriages don’t belong here. @nyclass @theanimalvoters nytimes.com/2025/07/21/nyr…
Actually, the elected REPUBLICANS eliminated the funding. Don't blame the Democrats, who all voted against this draconian measure. Trump: “Republicans have tried doing this for 40 years, and failed….but no more,” he added. “This is big!!!”
How does it feel? Your elected representatives have just eliminated funding for public radio and TV. WFUV has now lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual support from the federal government. Share your feelings and a song for the set we'll play after 9 a.m. on WFUV.
Look who’s campaigning from her govt perch. I’m pretty sure the worst governor is the one in TX who signed a bill turning abortion into a bounty hunting sport. Thx to @GovKathyHochul for always defending the right to choose in #NYS! @politicony
Our legal service providers are holding up the sky for many of our constituents facing eviction across the city. Their work is invaluable + they deserve a fair, livable wage. ✊@UAW
Menopause has been long shrouded in shame and stigma. That’s why I introduced a pair of bills in #NYS to better address gaps in healthcare coverage + workplace protections for women experiencing menopause. See below ⬇️ today.com/video/inside-t… @TODAYshow
That’s right — we on the #WestSide proudly stand up against Trump’s authoritarian ICE tactics. We’re not going to let federal agents whisk away our kids. Thx to @NicolleDWallace for shining a light on this important story. @MSNBC @NYICAction
🚨KNOW YOUR RIGHTS: You do not have to provide federal agents or random ppl who approach you (w/o ID!) on the street w/ info about yourself. We must empower our communities to protect themselves as immigration raids become more common ⬇️ abc7ny.com/amp/post/nyc-y…
We must make it EASIER, not HARDER for ppl to afford the rent. Expanding #CityFHEPS is a no-brainer, especially as Trump threatens to slash Section 8 + other housing benefits. An incredible victory for #NYers 🎉 @LegalAidNYC @newdestinyorg @WIN_NYC nytimes.com/2025/07/10/nyr…
🚨W/ the Trump Administration imposing daily arrest of immigrants quotas + building “Alligator Alcatraz,” it’s essential that #NYers know their rights. ⬇️ @NYICAction ilovetheupperwestside.com/ice-agents-app…
I applaud the bravery of Cassie & @ejeancarroll who used NY’s #AdultSurvivorsAct to seek justice. The ASA, which I sponsored, was a victory for all survivors, but our work is not done until our laws reflect the reality that trauma takes time. @SafeHorizon amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/07/06…
There’s no such thing as democracy without “we the people.” On the 249th bday of our living experiment, the most patriotic thing you can do is to fight for its future. 🇺🇸 Keep marching. Keep speaking out. Keep getting into good trouble w/ me ⬇️ mobilize.us/indivisible/ev… #July4
RGB: you failed again. My statement on tonight’s #RGB vote:
The #CMV virus is common in adults, but can have devastating effects when passed onto newborns. Proud to partner with advocates to pass legislation spreading awareness & increasing testing in NYS. See my resolution recognizing June as #CMVAwarenessMonth: nyassembly.gov/leg/?bn=K00668…
This is an absolutely devastating decision but on par w/ the Supreme Court’s commitment to decimating reproductive rights. The #GOP’s “one big beautiful bill” will defund @PPact in #NYS + across the country. We must fight back w/ a vengeance.
Breaking News: The Supreme Court ruled that Planned Parenthood could not sue South Carolina over its effort to deny funding to the organization. nyti.ms/3G8LGDy
To be clear: @GovAbbottPress would RATHER give back $450M in federal funding THAN feed low-income children. Starving ppl isn’t the flex that the #GOP thinks it is.
The #GOP has an endless appetite for spewing hate against the trans community. That’s why I rallied w/#LGBTQIA+ advocates to pass my bill next session requiring Medicaid to cover gender-affirming care in #NYS. We must + will fight Trump’s bigoted agenda.
Will miss my legislative other half in the Senate but so proud of my incredible friend AND the next Manhattan Borough President, @bradhoylman 🎉
With the fall of #RoeVWade three yrs ago today, millions of women across the country have been stripped of their most fundamental rights. The #GOP’s war on women is far from over, which is why we must vigorously safeguard access to abortion rights in #NYS.
