Thank you to Governor Hochul for heeding our call to increase security funding for religious schools by $20m to a total of $90m. We must reaffirm our commitment to keeping New Yorkers safe in the face of heinous acts such as the one perpetrated at Magen David Yeshiva today

Joined Governor Hochul, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, colleagues and neighbors to celebrate a milestone on the path to a new Variety Boys & Girls clubhouse. We secured $7 million+ in state investment that will pay dividends for thousands of families who will benefit once the center opens its doors

As e-commerce warehouses proliferate, we're giving regulators the tools they need to keep communities safe. Just as we enacted the nation leading CLCPA, my Clean Deliveries Act with Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes will keep major polluters like Amazon in check

New York would be nothing without its immigrants. Today we stood up to say that no matter what abhorrent rhetoric or policy the federal government pushes on us, New Yorkers will always have our neighbors backs, regardless of where they were born

What a joy to celebrate 100 years of PS 122 at Terrace on the Park last night! Great to spend the evening with distinguished teachers and alumni as well as honor past and present principals - among them my junior high math and homeroom teacher Mary Kojes!

Today is Puppy Mill Awareness Day. Since my Puppy Mill Pipeline Ban with @lindabrosenthal.bsky.social went into effect last year, we've seen retail sales of dogs, cats, and rabbits plummet. New Yorkers are instead adopting and shopping with reputable breeders, a huge win for animal welfare

Proud to inaugurate new elevators at the R/M Northern Blvd station alongside @mta.info leadership and the workers who got it done. Every New Yorker benefits from a more accessible subway, regardless of physical ability, and I look forward to seeing more elevators opening soon

Our world changed forever 24 years ago, on 9-11-01. We will never forget the trauma and fear that we felt, or the heroism of those we lost- and we must also remember that in times of national crisis, it is unity, love, and solidarity that will see us through to brighter days

The horrific shooting in Minneapolis weighs heavily on the minds of families this week. Guns are a national problem requiring a national solution, but in NY we're not waiting. I secured $70M for school safety last year that is already making a difference sunnysidepost.com/gianaris-add...

Couldn't be prouder to support the important work that @qplnyc.bsky.social does for our community. Happy to have secured $100,000 in state budget funds to support English classes, support for new Americans, computer and internet access, and so much more that our local libraries provide

A horrific car crash took the lives of three of our neighbors this morning. My thoughts are with the families of the victims. We must do more to prevent vehicles from being able to reach these deadly speeds in residential neighborhoods in the first place
