124 guns were taken off our streets thanks to RCDA & the NYPD's No Questions Asked, Cash for Guns event. Shattering records, Saturday's event yielded more guns than any other buyback during my decade-long tenure as DA & the largest number collected on Staten Island in 15 years!
Every day, regardless of weather conditions, our brave NYPD officers go to work to protect our city— they don’t get the luxury of a snow day. The least we can do is treat them with respect when they deserve so much more. This unacceptable & lawless behavior cannot be tolerated.
This is precisely the kind of government coercion that the First Amendment was designed to prevent — and media companies need to start standing up rather than capitulating to it. https://t.co/gOjqFnGv0I

Police Officer Didarul Islam represented the very best of our department.
He was protecting New Yorkers from danger when his life was tragically cut short today.
We join in prayer during this time of incomprehensible pain. We will forever honor his legacy.

Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.
📢HUGE shoutout to NYC’s poll workers — the true heroes of democracy. 🇺🇸🗽
17-hour days in 100+° heat, all to make sure every vote counts. Your hard work and heart made it all possible. Thank you! 🗳️🔥❤️#ThankAPollWorker
Great event hosted by @StatenIslandDA at P.S 78. & Eagle Academy this morning for an annual ribbon-tying ceremony in recognition of Gun Violence Awareness Month!
Barbara Felder was thrilled to visit the P771K site at PS 329! Thank you to Principal Ferrandino, AP Noel, and the entire staff for ensuring that children have a safe, enriching, and engaging environment in which to learn and grow.
Hochul’s proposal offers a “common-sense” solution that will “restore accountability” to the criminal justice system while still maintaining the state’s reputation for having the most transparent discovery laws in the country
