More absolute insanity from Team Trump / Zeldin. This disregards decades of accumulated science--and the result will be sicker children and higher energy prices.

The proposal is President Trump’s most consequential step yet to derail federal climate efforts and appears to represent a shift toward outright denial of the scientific consensus.

My condolences to the families of those who were murdered in yesterday’s assault rifle attack in Manhattan. We must stay vigilant in keeping firearms away from those intent on harm. This tragedy underscores the sacrifices our courageous police officers make both on and off duty.

That’s why we need legislation like my Traveling with Dignity Act. It's about making our society as open and accessible as possible so we can all enjoy all life has to offer.

Proud to stand with Assemblymember Rebecca Kassay this morning as @GovKathyHochul signed our bill expanding septic system reimbursements—now up to 75% or $25K. Clean water shouldn’t break the bank. This is a big win for public health, our environment & working families.

NYSEG wants a 35% rate hike with a 10% ROE—after boosting revenue by $500M! . 1.2M NYers are behind on bills, but shareholders want more. The PSC is taking public comments now. Speak out & help stop this outrageous hike. Link to comment:.

We can’t accept the rising tide of climate-related disasters as the “new normal.”. There is still time to act and confront the climate crisis before it becomes irreversible. Inaction isn’t an option in the face of escalating environmental destruction.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at last night’s community naloxone training with @BurdickAD93 and Legislator Erika Pierce. A special thanks to @NYSOASAS instructor Mandee Nann for her excellent guidance on how to safely administer this life-saving medication.

Overdose deaths dropped by 27% in 2024--the first significant decrease we have seen in 20 years. Real investments in harm reduction strategies are the reason why. Cutting a $56M federal grant that gives first responders access to life-saving naloxone simply makes no sense.

Clean energy is already strengthening grid resilience in enterprising communities—and preventing widespread blackouts, like during a recent heatwave in New England. It also saved those ratepayers over $8M. This is the kind of resilience we need across NY.

On the hottest day this year, behind-the-meter solar panels and a growing network of batteries helped prevent blackouts and saved consumers millions of dollars.
