You shouldn’t have to be lucky to learn to read. We know what we need to do. We need NYS to mandate evidence based literacy curriculum. Every child has a #RightToRead 1/2

Thank you to the @MTA for bringing their mobile sales bus to my district office today. Dozens of constituents took advantage of this vital service and were able to get their reduced-fare OMNY cards.

Anti-democratic. Discriminatory. And completely expected from the norm-shattering and self-serving Republican party. Democrats must respond and when we win back control never allow such a thing to happen again.

Billy Jones was not only a great representative for the North Country but also a great friend. I know he will continue to do great things for his community. He will be missed in the people's chamber.
“It has been the honor of my life to serve the residents of the North Country & the 115th District,” said Assemblyman Billy Jones (D-Chateaugay Lake). (1/7)

Wow!!! . Huge win!!!! . #PublicPower.
Huge win for our movement! Today @NYPAenergy announced they are more than doubling the amount of public renewable energy they plan to build. That means more green union jobs, lower utility bills, cleaner air, and a faster transition off fossil fuels.

Tragic loss. Even more painful when you know he has two young children and another child on the way. May his memory be a blessing.
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. #FidelisAdMortem

Saddened and horrified by the shooting in Midtown Manhattan. My thoughts are with all those affected, especially the victims and their families. I'm thankful for the brave first responders who reported to the scene. It’s time to ban assault weapons and take all guns out of.

Online mobile sports betting is predatory and destroying sports for viewers and athletes. The professional sports leagues and state governments are drunk on the profits and tax revenue. This industry needs regulation, and my legislation, A.7962, does that by creating limits.
Major League Baseball is deeply concerned about potential gambling violations committed by Cleveland Guardians RHP Emmanuel Clase. Bet $10 and get $150 in bonus bets if you win by using Bonus Code: "CLASE" at BetMGM, an official sports betting partner of Major League Baseball.

The mass starvation in Gaza is a direct result of Israel’s blockade of aid to the civilian population. It must stop. Israel has the power to do this, and its refusal to do so confirms the immorality of the Netanyahu government.

Israel has long restricted or completely blocked aid to Gaza on the argument that Hamas steals it to use as a weapon of control over the population.

A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

Shameful.
This 82-year-old grandfather was living a quiet life. Granted political asylum from Pinochet in 1987, he was disappeared by ICE when he went to replace a lost green card. This is what is happening in America right now. We all need to wake the f up.

In 2017, I introduced legislation and a constitutional amendment (A.5790 & A.8697) to lower New York’s voting age to 16. It is the best way to engage young people in civics and create lifelong habits of political engagement. I’m glad to see that the U.K. Is lowering their.
