Hunger isn’t a legal game.
While NY AG James, @governor.ny.gov, and Congressional Democrats fight to feed families, Trump is wasting time and taxpayer money to block the SNAP benefits of 42 million Americans in court.
We’ll keep fighting until every family gets the food support they deserve.

If Republicans want Democrats to support a budget bill, then they must negotiate with us.
Senate Democrats must hold the line to save health care for Americans, not trade that away for an empty promise.
I’m a NO on this shutdown deal and urge Senate Democrats to vote no.

Our waterways are one of New York’s greatest assets. Investing in them is investing in our city’s future.

It is unacceptable for masked ICE agents to throw tear gas on the streets of American cities.
@repscottpeters.bsky.social and I are introducing the Stop Excessive Force in Immigration Act to ban ICE’s use of crowd control munitions, mandate body cameras, and protect our communities.

When pilots say controllers are overworked and safety data shows rising risk, leaders should act — not threaten more flight cuts.
Donald Trump and Sec. Duffy are gambling with lives to score political points. Reopen the government, restore full operations, and pay our aviation workers.

Firing qualified immigration judges simply because their previous experience includes immigrant defense is a blatant attack on judicial independence and due process. AG Pam Bondi and the DOJ must explain these actions immediately.

Trump’s shutdown is grounding planes, stranding travelers, and forcing air traffic controllers to work without pay.
Sec. Duffy, you are putting Americans in danger.
Stop playing political games with our travel system and urge House Republicans to return to Washington and open the government.

Heartbroken to hear of the tragic loss of a 27-year-old woman struck and killed in the West Village. My thoughts are with her family and loved ones.
We must do more to make our streets safer for pedestrians and hold reckless drivers accountable. Thank you to the NYPD for ensuring justice is met.

Food pantries are running out of supplies and turning families away. 1.8 million of our neighbors are going hungry and being forced to choose between rent and food.
All while Donald Trump sits on money that Congress already approved for SNAP.
This is cruelty, plain and simple. Fund SNAP now.

Trump is making history for all the wrong reasons. 37 days into the longest shutdown ever, millions of Americans are being punished for his political games.
Federal workers are going unpaid. Food stamps are frozen. Health care subsidies are about to expire.
This chaos and cruelty must end.

Even the Supreme Court is skeptical, and for good reason.
Trump’s reckless tariffs are an abuse of power that punish small business and working families already struggling with high prices.
They aren’t “life or death” for the country. They’re life or death for Americans trying to stay afloat.

First, Trump turned the presidency into a personal piggy bank. Now, he’s turned the White House into a fundraising venue.
What are the private donors giving millions of dollars to this vanity project expecting to get in return?
Senator Blumenthal is right to demand answers.

Refusing to pay furloughed workers isn’t a “discussion,” it’s a clear violation of a federal law that Trump himself signed.
Suggesting otherwise is an illegal and cruel insult to the hundreds of thousands of dedicated public servants being punished for a shutdown he caused.

Trump’s shutdown has pushed our air traffic system to the brink. Half of all major airports are understaffed. Flights are delayed. Controllers are working unpaid double shifts.

At a roundtable this week, I heard a story about a 70-year-old neighbor who tragically said, “Since there’s no food right now, now’s a good time to die.”
This is the cruelty of Trump withholding available SNAP funding to make people starve.
We have the funding. We need to fully release it now.

As Democrats have said for 3 weeks, despite the shutdown, Trump had the money for SNAP all along.
He chose not to feed the poor and used the shutdown as pretext. If he hadn't held SNAP hostage, there would not have been a funding delay, and 42M people would not be going hungry.

Even as the Trump administration stops short of fully funding SNAP payments this month, the USDA is warning grocery stores NOT to help families in need.
Instead of fixing the crisis they created, they’re making it harder for parents to feed their kids. Absolutely shameful.
