This means more than words can say. Living with ARFID my whole life hasn’t been easy, and Assemblywoman Rajkumar’s legislation made me feel genuinely seen and appreciated. Thank you, publicly and sincerely. 🙏

Across New York State, people are asking a serious question: who can carry the strategy, discipline, and leadership Senator Michael Gianaris brought to the State Senate?

We respectfully urge the NYS Assembly Rules Committee to advance Assembly Bill A9600 & help strengthen recognition and support for individuals & families impacted by ARFID.

For too long, many families have faced misunderstanding, delayed recognition, & barriers to care & support

[Connie Altamirano @ConnieAlt1]

Bill S9063 and help ensure greater recognition, awareness, and support for individuals and families impacted by ARFID.

New York families have waited far too long. The time to act is now.

I find it bizarre that the Democratic Party hates Democrats

New York is moving away from Regents exams in favor of a new framework. How will this change the way you teach and how your students learn? Share your thoughts with us. https://t.co/kA9NeUxBiM

Families across NYS still can’t access proper care because the law hasn’t caught up. Read. Sign. Share.

Spent this afternoon with @ValdezAssembly and Ridgewood leader Father Mike Lopez, distributing food to our neighbors at the Hungry Monk Rescue Truck. 

No better way to start the weekend.

ARFID can cause serious malnutrition and growth issues in children, especially those with complex medical or developmental needs. Please support/PASS S9063 & A9600, and don't leave our most vulnerable kids behind. #ARFID #Autism #NYCPSs #Albany #NewYork #Queens #ConnieAltamirano

NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced that all NYCPS will be open and operating as usual on Tuesday, February 24, 2026, following the snow day on Monday. This decision means students will return to in-person learning after the city’s traditional snow day due to the winter storm.
