🚨Hochul's veto of this bill, caving to Republicans and nimby bs, risks an offshore wind project that would generate power for about 1 million homes. Huge numbers of good, union jobs. She's also risking many other projects, separately. A severe threat to us all! 🚨

I am devastated to share that my dear friend Ryan Carson, who worked for NYPIRG and created the advocacy organization “No OD NY”, was murdered last night. I met Ryan many years ago through the DIY punk scene and he has been a trusted friend in Albany and at home. I miss him.

Totally baller.

I'm in the courtroom now. New York Attorney General Leticia James is seated in the front row. To get to the defense table, Trump will have to walk right past her.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Lead?

More Democrats voted to keep government open than Republicans did.

We had to drag your party kicking and screaming across the finish line to fund schools and pay servicemembers.

And that was after you wasted the whole week on a joke impeachment hearing as shutdown loomed

[Governor Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul]

I am declaring a State of Emergency across New York City, Long Island, and the Hudson Valley due to the extreme rainfall we’re seeing throughout the region.

Please take steps to stay safe and remember to never attempt to travel on flooded roads.

[Sarah Reeske @SReeske]

He’s officially out of his mind. 😱 @RepWilliams is going to keep collecting his $14,500/mo paycheck and says those impacted by the looming shutdown, who he acknowledges might be more financially vulnerable, just have to accept pain and suffering as a fact of life. #NY22

It was my privilege to co-write an op-ed for the @NYDailyNews with former Moreland Commission co-chair Milton Williams to explain why small donor public campaign financing is good for our democracy. Check it out: https://t.co/ebY27zM6qQ

Statement with my fellow @DemSocialists legislators across the state on the dismal response to new immigrants and asylum seekers. From housing insecurity to the climate crisis to politics that depends on xenophobia, we are far from ready for where the world needs us to be.

[Lindsey Boylan @LindseyBoylan]

Maybe ask former Cuomo “ethics czar” and the current @nycmayor chief of staff Camille Varlack Joseph.

I imagine she is as on top of it now as she was working for Cuomo.

After four long years, we triumphed over fossil fuel barons, private energy cabals, and the Governor to #BuildPublicRenewables. Here's how we did it ⤵️

[Brad Lander @bradlander]

My office will review these proposed budget cuts, but one thing is immediately clear:

Scapegoating asylum seekers will not improve education, public safety, housing affordability, or quality of life for New Yorkers.

NEW YORK. Indicted freshman Congressman George Santos (R) appears to be negotiating a plea deal with federal prosecutors. That means a likely special congressional election by Spring 2024...

[New York Focus @nysfocus]

New York state has tasked itself with one of the most aggressive climate plans in the country.

Hi Queens 👋🏽 My name is Claire Valdez. I'm an artist, organizer with @Local2110UAW, and longtime @nycdsa leader.

I’m running to represent Assembly District 37 because we all deserve a dignified life and beautiful future. I refuse to settle for less. 🧵

[New York Focus @nysfocus]

In May, New York allocated $25 million to help asylum seekers find homes throughout the state.

How many families has it resettled so far? 0.

[Senator Liz Krueger @LizKrueger]

Right-wing agitators offer nothing but hate and vitriol. That won't solve the issue of where to house desperate families. On the UES we proudly host hundreds of migrants, and neighbors have come together to offer aid and comfort. That's the New York way. https://t.co/nYPa7uJUPe

In a letter to the @nytimes, a former NY Parole Commissioner writes that Elder Parole can "help resolve the crisis of aging behind bars, save substantial money, and return people to communities to repair harm." https://t.co/DwCqKDR26F

My latest story:
Wage theft is pervasive in New York, usually impacting low-income workers.
And it’s against the law.
But the state’s labor agency still needs to recover 63% of stolen wages during a five-year period analyzed by ProPublica and Documented.

When parties pick who’s on the ballot without a primary system, you get corruption.
