Home to more veterans than any other borough, Queens knows what it means to serve. Happy Veterans Day, with gratitude to all those who have served in our armed forces

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

Happy Halloween! Had a blast at the Ditmars Halloween Parade, which is quickly becoming a favorite Astoria tradition. Thanks to The Brass Owl and the Destination Ditmars Merchants Association for organizing

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!

Grateful to @nyscomptroller.bsky.social for joining us at Tito Rad's in Sunnyside this morning to share some important data on economic growth in western Queens - and thrilled that we were able to return over $30,000 in unclaimed funds to @scs4ny.bsky.social!

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

If it's a day ending in y, Amazon is abusing workers. Solidarity with the 105 drivers fired without notice last week - Jeff Bezos will learn that we will never stop fighting for working people

If you're enjoying having today off - or the 40 hour work week, or a living wage, or social security, or safety regulations... thank a union! Happy Labor Day

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

American ideals of freedom, justice, tolerance, and independence are worth celebrating. Don't let current events detract from what our country is at its best. Independence Day will always be about the resilience and courage of the American people - happy 4th!
