Today, we put county officials on notice of their obligation to comply with our Local Cops, Local Crimes Act.
New York counties have until November 25 to end agreements allowing ICE to use local jails for civil immigration detention.
Local law enforcement should be focused on keeping their communities safe.

For so many New Yorkers, Puerto Rico is home. When the island faces challenges, we feel them too.
As Puerto Rico confronts the challenges of a changing climate and increasingly severe weather, New York will always be there to lend a helping hand.

When our friends and family in Puerto Rico need a helping hand, New York shows up.
This morning, thousands of bottles of water and essential medical supplies were loaded onto a flight to San Juan, where they’ll be distributed to local families through the YMCA.
Grateful to AFYA and Delta for helping make this possible.
Looking forward to spending time with the community on the ground.

I ❤️ New York!
And tomorrow, I’ll get up and go right back to work.
I’m heartbroken to learn that a child in Lewis County has died from measles. My heart goes out to their family and everyone who knew and loved them.
This is New York’s first measles-related death in 30 years, a devastating reminder of what’s at stake when Washington deliberately erodes decades of progress in protecting Americans from preventable diseases.
Vaccination remains our best protection against the heartbreak of another family losing a child to measles.

As a mother and grandmother, it sickens me to think of children arriving at school to find their buses defaced with swastikas and hateful antisemitic messages.
No Jewish child or family should have to endure this kind of fear and intimidation.
Those responsible must be identified, arrested, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Subway ridership on Marathon Sunday was over 3.1 million, the largest Sunday in RECORDED @MTA HISTORY.
Above ground and below, New Yorkers were on the move in record numbers!
Universal child care is making waves across New York. So I sat down with some of the people who know a thing or two:
An absolutely dominant win by our Bills! Impressed, but not surprised.
Let’s Go Buffalo! 💙❤️
The @BuffaloBills are part of the heart and soul of Western New York. Keeping them here means preserving a tradition that generations of families have shared.

Happy Halloween, New York! 🎃
Plenty of tricks coming out of Washington, but here in New York, we’re delivering for you.
Who is excited to be a @Jeopardy question?
This Governor!
(And this time, they got it right! 😉)
Washington will do nothing to rein in AI and protect our kids from chatbots.
That’s why New York will once again lead the way. Our kids and families deserve nothing less.
Every student deserves to feel safe on campus. And when they report sexual assault, they deserve to be heard and taken seriously.
That’s why, at my direction, the New York State Police signed an agreement with Cornell University today to investigate sexual offense complaints normally handled by campus police, unless the individual requests otherwise.

Couldn’t pass through Sleepy Hollow this close to Halloween without making a quick stop! 🎃
New Yorkers deserve the final say in whether a data center gets built in their community.
And they shouldn’t have to worry about higher electric bills or threats to their clean air and water.
We’re proudly leading the nation in setting rules that put our communities first as AI develops.
Thank you, @AOC, for joining me in this fight.

“Sí, se puede.”
With those words, Dolores Huerta inspired generations to believe change was possible.
She was a giant of the labor movement who stood up to the powerful, fought tirelessly for working people, and changed this country for the better.
Her voice will be sorely missed, but her legacy will endure.

For decades, Albany took public transit for granted. I knew New Yorkers deserved better.
We've made record investments and delivered an @MTA that's safer, more reliable, and works better for riders.
There's more to do, but with major station upgrades and projects like the IBX moving forward, we're on the right track.
