Today, I joined NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, CM Julie Won + local leaders to cut the ribbon on the new 29th Street Plaza!
This reclaimed space, with a beautiful mural by CUNY student Fernanda Contreras, shows what's possible when we open streets, support artists and bring people together.

It is appalling that Netanyahu gets to speak at the UN as Gaza lies in ruins. Shame on complicit NY leaders who refuse to support a full weapons embargo, shame on Mayor Adams who stood with the Israeli delegation as world leaders had the moral clarity to walk out. Free Palestine.
A mass walkout of the UN General Assembly as Netanyahu prepares to speak.

🚲 What a kickoff! On Sunday, we launched our Protected Ride Sunnyside campaign with an 8-mile ride, spotlighting existing bike lanes and the dangerous gaps that leave riders unprotected.
Big thanks to @claireforqueens.bsky.social, @tstc.bsky.social, the Queens Borough President's office, and CB2!

This weekend we joined the fun at the annual LIC Waterfront 5K! The community vibes were impeccable + the waterfront as beautiful as ever. Best part of all, every step the participants took supports local parks & free events through the Hunters Point Parks Conservancy. TY to HPPC for inviting me! 🌳🏃♂️

Our communities deserve transparency. This legislation is simple: utilities must give 45 days’ notice before major rate hikes. Yesterday, I was proud to pass my 45-Day Notice bill alongside colleagues to give NYers a bit of relief from unpredictable pricing and profiteering.

BREAKING: Cuomo just canceled his Ridgewood senior center photo op—just because families of his nursing home victims & healthcare workers want answers.
He doesn’t want to face the truth:
He caused deaths of 15k seniors.
He covered them up.
We’re not letting him rewrite history.
