This isn’t about me. It’s about all of us. It’s about a justice system which has been weaponized. A justice system which has been used as a tool of revenge. My faith is strong. I have belief in the justice system and the rule of law.

AI Chatbots are directing people to an anti-abortion hotline that pushes an unproven "abortion pill reversal." There's no scientific proof that an "abortion pill reversal" is safe or that this treatment works. This guidance is incredibly dangerous. https://t.co/Y3jIQUjq5j

Popular AI chatbots are routinely steering users who ask for advice on reversing an abortion to a hotline that promotes an unproven and potentially dangerous treatment, according to a new report.

I'm suing @USDA over its illegal attempt to cut off SNAP benefits for lawful permanent residents. As many as 35,000 New Yorkers could lose food assistance and states face billions in unjust penalties. I’ll always fight to protect access to food for our children and families.

I'm co-leading a bipartisan coalition to urge Congress to reject Big Tech’s efforts to prevent states from enforcing AI regulations. States should be able to enact their own regulations and protect its residents from AI's risk to children, public health, the economy, and more.

I'm suing the Trump administration to protect over $3 billion in funds that provide vital housing and services to fight homelessness. Cutting off these funds could put over 170,000 people at risk of homelessness. We must protect our most vulnerable neighbors.

Thanks to our lawsuit, the federal government backed down on limiting access to critical Victims of Crime Act funds. Survivors seeking protection from violence deserve our support, not sabotage, and my office will always do everything in our power to defend their rights.

Meta knowingly addicted young people to its platform, worsened their mental health, and refused to act. That's why we sued Meta and passed laws in New York to protect our kids from the harms of social media. https://t.co/ZuggFlILgV

My office secured the conviction of a former Nassau County nursing home aide for his despicable crime of sexually assaulting two disabled residents under his care. I won't allow anyone to mistreat or take advantage of New York nursing home residents. https://t.co/hZjgkt8gRH

After meeting with the President, our next Mayor @ZohranKMamdani showed why he is ready to lead our city. He has a plan to keep us safe, make sure New Yorkers can afford their lives, and he has the leadership we need in this moment.

We won our lawsuit against the Trump administration, preventing them from dismantling federal agencies that provide services and funding for libraries, museums, workers, small businesses, and the unhoused. We will always defend the basic services that New Yorkers depend on.

Every state has the right to pass its own laws and regulations. Unregulated AI poses serious dangers to our communities, especially our children. This executive order will not deter us from defending our laws and protecting New Yorkers. https://t.co/mrd3sxORIu

The draft order comes after Republicans in Congress failed to pass a federal ban on state AI regulation, as more lawmakers raise concerns about the technology.
