As we approach the final two weeks of the session, a great way to track bills and their likelihood of passing is @MatthewLWing’s Smith and Moses New York State Legislative Tracker. It's an AI-powered guide to New York State legislation.
It may know more than lobbyists and Program and Counsel staff!!!

Like many parents, I had a hard time keeping up with all the emails about my kids activities, school announcements. I made a system to send me 1 email a day w/ the important stuff. Then I turned it into something I could share. Signing people up little by little https://t.co/3UyOJqq9Aj

Inspired choice by @ReynosoBrooklyn to select @AsadFromNYC as our new Borough Historian!!
Asad has led the wonderful Arab History Walking Tours in our community that we created with @AtlanticAveBK. There are hundreds of folks on the waitlist for the upcoming tours.
This attack has no connection to reality. I’ve worked for more than a decade with Yume and she is one of the most serious, effective, data-driven leaders we have. I would actually describe her as a technocrat (and I mean that as high praise).
Also I highly recommend her book “The Deep Sky”. It’s like if “Project Hail Mary” were an edgy psychological thriller.
For almost ten years, I've been ringing the bell on why New York needs to adopt a statewide standard for evidence-based literacy curriculum and professional development. I've introduced the comprehensive bill to do just that - A.78 to only see it languish. And last fall I released a series of videos on how New York can address the literacy crisis. Watch the first video “Ban the Guessing Game” below ⬇️.
So it was great to see @nytimes podcast The Daily highlight the success of an evidence-based literacy curriculum in Mississippi and ask why blue states aren't following suit?

No one has rung the bell on literacy louder than @Bobby4Brooklyn
If podcasts are too long for your attention span, here’s 2 minutes on why NY can’t read good: https://t.co/l3noNvzro5
Mississippi isn’t a miracle; it's a roadmap for implementing a structured, sequential, and cumulative literacy curriculum grounded in the five pillars of literacy.
New York can do the same by passing my Right to Read Act A.78.

The only person in NYC more obsessed about the possibility of Winter Olympics in NYC than me is @patkiernan!
A New York City - Lake Placid games is not just a possibility it's a practical civic vision to connect downstate and upstate like nothing before.
This is all possible bc of @GovKathyHochul’s vision in modernizing the Lake Placid legacy sites. Let's get this done!
The @nytimes New York Today spotlights @AMWilliamColton's bill requiring the MTA to report bedbug infestations.
Smith & Moses says:
Impact: 4/10
Chance of Passage: 25%

This Sunday, I joined The Point with Marcia Kramer to discuss the greatest civic opportunity of a generation: a joint NYC–Lake Placid Winter Olympics.
Milan–Cortina showed the model. New York can do it even better—bringing downstate and upstate together for a uniquely New York event.
World-class NYC venues + a fully modernized Lake Placid, thanks to Kathy Hochul.

The literacy crisis is real, and we will not solve it with half measures. We need a wholesale change in how we train teachers and how we teach reading. That is why we must pass my Right to Read bill, A.78.
Balanced literacy has failed too many children. We need a systematic, structured, cumulative approach to reading instruction rooted in phonics and the core pillars of literacy.
States across the country, including California, are making this shift. New York should lead, not be the last state in the nation to reform. You can’t claim to care about social justice, progress or social mobility if you do not care about literacy. Literacy is the gateway to opportunity.
