Had a wonderful time touring Thalia Spanish Theatre yesterday! Director Angel Gil Orrios walked us through the theater’s 48-year history of cultivating Spanish-language theater, dance and art. We discussed the importance of keeping the arts accessible to everyone.
If you read the survey, it shows that more than half of all NY voters DISAPPROVE of what Trump is doing on immigration, including a whopping 72% of Dem voters. Our constituencies want their leaders to take action to protect our vulnerable neighbors. Just look at the data.
Frustration grows over NY Democrats' 'lack of political courage' on immigration gothamist.com/news/frustrati…
Leaked footage confirms what we’ve known all along: 26 Federal Plaza is a secret detention site where immigrants are being held in overcrowded, inhumane conditions. @DHSgov has spent months lying to cover it up. We need answers. We demand accountability.
A&E Real Estate has abandoned its tenants, including hundreds of building violations and broken elevators, which has affected tenants with disabilities. This morning, we joined @CMShekarK and Jackson Heights tenants to call out A&E for ongoing dangerous conditions and neglect.
I am heartbroken to hear about the four people killed in Ridgewood on Saturday, including a mother and 2-year-old child. This is a devastating loss. My thoughts are with the victims’ loved ones & our Ridgewood community as we process this horrific tragedy. gothamist.com/news/4-killed-…
Proud to stand alongside the Queens delegation to celebrate the state’s $8.5M investment in the Queens Museum! This money will create the borough’s first children’s art museum + fund transformative upgrades that will make the Museum an even more dynamic and vital gathering place.

Trump’s bill is a betrayal of working people, and a promise kept to the billionaire class he actually answers to. It’s imperative that New York lead in this moment and step up to protect essential programs and services by taxing the wealthy. ➡️ qns.com/2025/07/queens…
