DOJ must immediately explain the reason for its raid & it must be more than a search for inconsequential archives or it will be viewed as a political tactic and undermine any future credible investigation & legitimacy of January 6 investigations.

He can restore the soul of America.

We remember where we were, the horrific scenes & the fear of the unknown
We remember the lives lost & the bravery of our 1st responders. We remember the pain of families who lost love ones & shed a tear
And we recommit ourselves to NY values: democracy, unity & freedom for all
No, we are not “all Hamas” — Hamas is a terrorist organization that is currently holding innocent Americans and Israelis hostage and uses rape as a weapon of war.
Today and everyday, I’m thankful for my girls Cara, Mariah & Michaela and for our family’s rock, my mom, Matilda Raffa Cuomo.
From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving 🍁
It’s time to deploy the National Guard to Jewish centers & places of worship & send a clear message: Hate has no place in NY & anyone who trafficks in it will be held responsible to the fullest extent. We need to speak with one voice & say ‘You target a Jew, you target me too’
Today and everyday I’m grateful for our family’s rock, my mom, Matilda Raffa Cuomo. Happy Mother's Day, Mom.
And to all the moms across New York: Thank you.
#HappyMothersDay
Imagine how strong we’d be, if we held the same spirit of unity everyday that we did on September 12, 2001 and the days after
Today, let us recommit ourselves to the NY values we hold dear: unity & freedom for all
And remember, that in the end, love wins.
Always.
If you want to cancel something — cancel the federal gridlock, cancel the incompetence, cancel the infighting. Cancel crime, cancel homelessness. Cancel education inequality. Cancel poverty. Cancel racism.
Be outraged, but be outraged at what really matters
We have more sites & testing capacity than we're using. Anyone who thinks they have a

symptom can get a test. It’s so fast & easy even a Governor can take it. You don't have to be NY tough to take the test — you only have to be smart & love yourself, your family, and NY
Let’s heed the lessons we learned in the early, horrific days of this pandemic and not go backwards
Wear a 😷 in public indoor spaces, get vaccinated AND your booster shot, take care of one another
And be

“You elected me to fight for you, to fight back against the Albany hacks, flacks and bureaucrats, to say hell no to the status quo, to make government work for you rather than for the special interest few, to make New York the best because we believe we are better than the rest.”
So proud of my youngest — my baby —
@MichaelaKenCuo
as she (officially) graduates today.
Every moment together is so precious and I’m eternally grateful to be able to celebrate this special day with my three girls.
Mr. President, my friend, I love you but the exclusion of paid family leave is a mistake. We enacted it in NY 5 years ago, it works!
Sacrificing our priorities will result in nothing but a hallow victory
All democrats in charge: there are no excuses
This wasn’t only about what government did. This was about what people did.
Together, New Yorkers bent the curve because we acted responsibly and we looked out for each other.
Now we must stay the course.
#NewYorkTough
After years of talking about it, the girls and I finally made it to Sicily for a long overdue family vacation
Hoping you and your family are having a wonderful weekend together
Our nation is under attack from within.
We must take our sadness and our anger and use it to create meaningful change.
Feigning outrage and then continuing to ignore what is happening around us will only lead to more bloodshed & tragedy.
My heart is with the people of Buffalo.

One year ago I resigned as Governor & said the allegations against me were false, overblown and politically motivated.
Today,

published a thorough investigative analysis objectively reviewing what actually happened.
Read it here:
Today, for the first time, the Attorney General said she would break her silence regarding the report she issued over 2 months ago — now she should answer the following 10 questions:
Rita Glavin’s response to today’s dismissal:
“No jury would have found Ms Commisso credible — that’s why this case was dismissed…Today, the rule of law prevailed, not politics, rhetoric, or mob mentality.”

Our prayers are with the shooting victims and their families -- but our thoughts are on demanding an immediate action plan to stop the growing New York crime spree and senseless violence.
Enough is enough.
Update: Five victims of a shooting on a Brooklyn subway train were in critical condition. New York City's police commissioner said the authorities are seeking a man with a heavy build who had been wearing a green construction vest and gray sweatshirt.
If you have family, you have everything.
Congratulations,

The new LaGuardia Airport: They said it couldn’t be done. The airport went from the worst to the first.
It’s a testament to government competence and its capacity to actually make change.
New York leads the way again. Excelsior!
History made.
Congratulations to Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson who has demonstrated to the world why she was the most qualified person for the job.
President Biden congratulated Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson in the White House as the Senate voted on Thursday to confirm her to the Supreme Court. She was confirmed on a 53-47 vote, with three Republicans joining all 50 Democrats in backing her.
Trump may be gearing up to reverse Roe v. Wade, but we will not let him take away a woman’s right to reproductive health care. NY will not go backwards.
The time to do it is now. We have a Democratic President a Democratic Congress & Democratic Senate.If not now, when?
Too many people have died for politicians to say,“well we tried”
We don’t elect people to try. We elect people to do
Stop making excuses&start making progress
“I am blessed, I have many options in life and I am open to all, but on the question if I am at peace, No I am not. But I don’t want to be at peace, and by the way I don’t think you should be at peace either.“
We in NY showed that the Democratic Party can still be that party-the party that improves lives. We raised the minimum wage to $15. We passed the strongest gun safety laws. We enacted free college tuition for the middle class & paid leave
We changed lives and led the nation.
This Mother’s Day, I’m feeling very grateful for our family’s rock, my mom, Matilda Raffa Cuomo. Happy Mother's Day, Mom. And to all the moms across New York: Thank you.

Nine years ago today we lost my father, Mario Cuomo. He was the heart and soul of the Democratic Party & inspired a generation of Americans with his steadfast commitment to doing the most good for the most people.
I miss you every day, Pop.
“There are many people who see right through the AG’s sham report & appreciate the decades of service the governor dedicated to NY, as well as his leadership during Covid. We appreciate their continued support & thank them for their friendship”
My heart breaks for the families of the victims in today's horrific and senseless shooting.
The people of NY are at their best when things are at their worst, and this is a time for solidarity and support for the people of Buffalo. Pray for them and vow to act as we learn more.
Ten people were killed by a gunman dressed in body armor and armed with a high powered rifle, while three others were wounded outside and inside a Tops supermarket on Jefferson Avenue.
This week, I hit the streets to hear what matters most from NY’ers
I also talk to former NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly about crime & Frank Luntz about the midterms
Tomorrow the next episode of my podcast will drop on

Donald Trump tells the truth, finally.
New York got hit first and worst but New Yorkers acted responsibly. Florida’s policy of denial allowed Covid to spread and that’s why they had a very large second wave.
Buffalo, now Texas and 1,000 other mass shootings before that.
How many have to die for Washington to act?
How many funerals until Congress decides that’s 1 too many?
How many parent have to bury their children?
What’s it going to take?
Today we remember where we were as if it was yesterday. We remember the palpable fear. We remember the lives lost & the bravery of our first responders. We remember the pain of the families who lost love ones & shed a tear. We honor their memory &
#NeverForget
The country is paralyzed with fear and anxiety. As a father of daughters attending graduate classes, I too feel that fear.
Who have we become?
This is not our America.
Enough is enough
Congress must pass a comprehensive gun violence prevention package
So tell your children that I am here today to tell you that I love you.I am here to tell you that people all across the state of every religion,every creed, every ideology love you
And that love can help us heal &can empower us to fight together to make this the moment of change
“ I believe in life God sends us challenges. Life will knock us down at some point and the question is what we do in that moment. Do we get angry, do we feel sorry for ourselves or do we learn from it and get back up off the mat?”
The case against Cuomo weakens - New York Daily News
“Cuomo was the target of a smear campaign authored by two supposedly independent lawyers working for James…In denouncing Cuomo, James appears tainted with the appearance of bias and impropriety.”
I wear a mask out of respect for my fellow New Yorkers, to say thank you to the healthcare professionals, and because it works. Why do you wear a mask?
Thank you to my daughter
@Mkennedycuomo
for her help communicating why wearing a mask is so important.

In this year's budget, rather than using that money to take care of donors, Albany should help the hard working people of NY.
Inflation is crushing families, gasoline is close to $5 a gallon. It hurts.
Suspend the gas tax & cut income and business taxes for working families
My father would have been 90 years old today
Now more than ever we need his words and his unrelenting drive to come together & do what’s right
Miss you, pop.

In 2017, I proposed the Empire State Trail, a 750-mile bike & walking trail spanning NY from Buffalo to Albany & from NYC through the Hudson

Rita Glavin RE Oswego DA’s announcement that his investigation has been dropped
“The photographic evidence that the AG’s report hid from the public indisputably showed that Gov Cuomo did not act improperly. Truth and the rule of law prevailed, not politics or mob mentality.”
The painful truth is that while the names of the victims change, the color of their skin does not.
The anger and outrage felt by so many is a warranted response to a flawed system that devalues the lives of Black men and women.
#BlackLivesMatter
Do you know what’s real? Schools in poor areas that don’t teach, public housing without heat, homeless on the streets, muggings in the subways, young people dying everday, crime and grime. NYC going backwards, not forwards. That’s what’s real
People talked about fixing LGA and JFK for decades — my team actually got it done.
Proud of all the men and women who worked tirelessly to give NY the world class airports worthy of the Empire State
The values observed during
#Ramadan
resonate with all New Yorkers, especially now: generosity, gratitude and brotherhood.
As Muslims across New York engage in a month of prayer and fasting, I wish all who observe a blessed Ramadan.
Peace be unto you.
John Lewis was one of the greatest men this country has ever known - a man of unimpeachable integrity, wisdom, courage, and morality. He was our conscience. And I know I speak for the entire family of New York when I say we are devastated by this loss.
