I've just directed state agencies to fully fund federal SNAP benefits for November.

President Trump's actions have been senseless and un-American. I'll never stop fighting for New York's families.

The results are in: Trump’s tariffs are proving to be nothing but a tax on hardworking New Yorkers.

After losing their son to suicide, Jack Reid’s family turned their heartbreak into change.

I was proud to sign the Jack Reid Law: Protect All Students Act — joining his family to stand up to bullying and protect our kids.

Three million New Yorkers are still waiting for their food assistance and some families might not receive SNAP benefits at all.

Republicans in Washington refuse to come to the table -- and New York families are paying the price.

No president has ever cut off food assistance funding during a government shutdown — until now.

Hunger isn’t a partisan issue. I’m fighting to ensure no New Yorker goes hungry.
October 31, 2025 at 5:22 PM
The Trump Administration would rather starve children and families than lift a finger to help them put food on the table.

I’m declaring a State of Emergency to use every tool we have to help the three million New Yorkers losing food assistance because of the GOP shutdown.
October 30, 2025 at 5:51 PM
Millions of New Yorkers will lose food assistance starting November 1.

I'm fighting to keep families from going hungry, but Republicans need to end their shutdown and release the money.

These cuts hurt real people. Tell your story: ny.gov/federalcuts

When it comes to fighting crime and public safety, every second matters.

That’s why I’ve made record-breaking investments in technology that will save time, and save lives on Long Island and across New York State.

On this final day of Hispanic Heritage Month, we're proud to recognize a community that is a vital part of our history, culture, and progress and whose impact is felt across every corner of New York State.

Once again, New York Republicans are turning their backs on their neighbors to please Donald Trump.

1,000 jobs and $650 million are on the line.

They’d rather kiss the ring than protect their own state.

Day 7.

Jobs are on the line. Progress is under attack.

New Yorkers didn’t ask for the GOP shutdown — but they’re paying for it.
October 7, 2025 at 7:02 PM
Today, Donald Trump attacked New Yorkers for political payback.

I will not sit idly by while his administration hurts New Yorkers.
October 1, 2025 at 6:39 PM
The GOP shutdown has real consequences.

Working people are being held hostage by Donald Trump’s political games.

This isn’t leadership. It’s cruelty.

As Washington Republicans slash services for people with disabilities, New York is stepping up.

We’re launching Regional Disability Health Clinics statewide to bring care and support closer to home for New Yorkers with disabilities.

We can cut emissions and grow the economy at the same time.
@usclimate.bsky.social states are proving it: Creating thousands of jobs and making energy more affordable, all while reducing emissions by 24%.

Proud to be fighting alongside them.

No state has hosted more PGA Championships than New York.

From historic Bethpage to renowned Oak Hill, New York is scheduled to host three major PGA championships over the next decade!

We’re proud to welcome the world’s best to our historic courses.

We cannot allow partisan politics in Washington to jeopardize health care for New Yorkers.

Congress must act now to stop this attack on working families.
September 18, 2025 at 7:16 PM
Vaccines save lives. I’ll always fight to keep them within reach for New Yorkers.
September 17, 2025 at 9:41 PM
Today I got my COVID-19 booster.

The science is clear, and so is my mission: Protect New Yorkers, no matter what Washington throws at us.
September 16, 2025 at 5:45 PM
Providing police with the strongest crime-fighting technology.

Investing in community outreach, youth programs, and mental health.

Always ready to listen so we can do even more.

That’s how I’m delivering a safer New York.
September 12, 2025 at 6:24 PM
Bravest is an understatement.

Today and every day, we honor our firefighters and all first responders who run towards danger to protect New Yorkers.

Their courage is an inspiration. Their sacrifices will never be forgotten.
September 11, 2025 at 6:03 PM
At today’s ceremony at Ground Zero, I was reminded once again of the unbreakable spirit of New Yorkers.

We mourn together. We heal together.

And we honor every name, every hero, and every sacrifice.
September 11, 2025 at 4:20 PM
Twenty-four years ago, New York and our nation changed forever.

We remember the nearly 3,000 souls taken on 9/11, the New Yorkers who went to work and never came home, and the heroes who ran toward danger to save others.

We will never forget.

Congestion pricing is working — and the cameras are staying on.

I tried to settle a height debate today, but here’s something we can all agree on: No child should ever go hungry.

As kids here on Long Island and across New York head back to school, I'm proud we’ve made school meals free for every student.
