We are forever grateful for our 9/11 first responders & feel privileged through Montefiore @EinsteinMed Comprehensive Cancer Center to work w/ @FDNY to sequence blood samples to understand & intervene for those at elevated cancer risk. cc @graceleefornyc https://t.co/XHvTyCDOG2
For decades the city has covered up that they knew about the air quality after 9/11. Grateful that @NYCMayor will release these long-hidden reports. Our Lower Manhattan community deserves to know the truth so we can address ongoing 9/11 related illness and continue to heal.
New York is a union town! Great to rally alongside our brothers and sisters in labor at this year's Labor Day Rally. Every worker deserves a fair wage, a safe workplace, and a seat at the table - and I'll keep fighting for that in Albany. NYC is and always will be #UnionStrong!
There's a housing crisis in Manhattan and by turning apartment buildings into mega-mansions, the ultra-wealthy are only making it worse. My Teardown Tax Act w/ @ErikBottcher makes sure billionaires removing homes from the market are taxed heavily to give back to the community.
With a low supply of townhouses in the West Village, wealthy buyers are turning apartment buildings into single-family homes. The tenement at 80 Horatio, formerly an 8-unit walk-up, sold last year and is being converted to a mansion. https://t.co/q86ISlxjR3
Elon Musk sued NY to keep hiding how X handles hate speech. A federal judge just threw the case out.
The Stop Hiding Hate Act, which I wrote with @bradhoylman and @ADL stands. No one is above the law — not Big Tech, not the richest man in the world.

A big win for New Yorkers to help combat online hate and extremism.
When I was in the State Senate, I wrote the Stop Hiding Hate Act with @Graceleefornyc and @ADL to require the biggest social media companies to come clean about how they moderate hate, extremism and disinformation.
Elon Musk’s X sued to stop it and @NewYorkStateAG fought back. I’m grateful to AG James for defending our law. Now a federal judge has dismissed X’s challenge with prejudice.
Social media giants shouldn’t get to hide from transparency and accountability.

Proud to welcome @KathyHochul to the Lower East Side for the 10th Annual LES United Festival Backpack Giveaway, hosted by @whynotcaremore and @District1NYC. Over 1,000 free book bags and school supplies were given today, helping every child start the school year ready to thrive.
Chinatown has been a tremendous part of the culture and character of our state. I had a great time with @graceleefornyc visiting local business owners and talking to the New Yorkers who keep this incredible community thriving.
Welcomed @AdrienneEAdams to Chinatown to meet with small businesses that make the neighborhood so special but are in need of resources. With so much at stake, remember to vote this November. Proud to be on the ballot with @KathyHochul & @AdrienneEAdams
Following a walking tour of Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS), NY4P, elected officials, and public realm advocates sent a letter to @NYCMayor and @NYC_Buildings with ideas for how to increase the accessibility/visibility of these vital public spaces.

Today, New York State told 12 law enforcement agencies it’s time to end their 287(g) agreements with ICE.
Public safety is strongest when local cops are focused on local crime.
The City's own report raises serious concerns about the Chinatown jail site & risks to neighboring buildings. Of 4 jail sites, this is the most difficult to build on. Before continuing, the City must apply greater scrutiny & confront impacts. @WtChinatown https://t.co/AIicdlwLF1
