Privileged to join hundreds of Malachy McCourt’s friends and admirers at a celebration of the extraordinary man’s life and his glorious contribution to New York and the United States.
So many wonderful memories of a big-hearted man who made a lasting impression on everyone he met.

Urging @SenGianaris to ensure that the Youth Interrogation bill, S2800-C, is brought to a floor vote and passes during this legislative session.

90% of youth waive their Miranda rights! We call on NYS to pass a bill to ensure that children’s constitutional rights are protected and minimize harm from false confessions. The countdown is ON to pass S2800C/A5891C. #right2remainsilent
