             Let’s build the housing we need for all NYers! Can’t wait to have another pro-housing member up in Albany! 
           SCOOP: It's official – @KeithPowersNYC is running for @HarveyforNY's Assembly seat, which is expected to be vacant as Epstein is poised to be elected to the City Council. More here:

             Happening now: AM Simone and colleagues inside of 26 Federal Plaza were detained for defending the rights of their immigrant neighbors. 
          
              @bradlander The 11 elected officials, state legislators plus Lander, ask why they can’t access the holding space on the 10th Floor at 26 Federal Plaza if there’s nothing to hide. All were cuffed and removed.

             Universal daylighting and safety improvements should be taking place at every: 🛝park 🏢rec center 🏫school I don’t need a study to tell me safety will go up! 
           Great to see SF leading the way. @NYCCouncil you could be up next. Children head back to school next week

             New Yorkers aren’t leaving over taxes, they’re leaving because housing is too expensive. By 2030, we could lose three congressional seats. Let’s build more housing housing, and save New York’s, and our country’s, future.

             Trump vowed to destroy the Johnson Amendment — and now the IRS is helping him do it. In New York, we’re fighting back. My bill, the Non-Partisan Pulpit Act, will keep tax-exempt groups out of politics and protect the wall between church and state. #NPPulpit #FaithNotPolitics

             Team bus rider were the underdogs going into this race, just like the tens of thousands of NYers who ride the bus down 34th st every day. We are so close to delivering faster and more reliable commutes for riders and massive safety improvements for pedestrians! 
           So, bus riders lost the race 😔😔 But hey — we’re ALL winning the war for faster, better buses on our streets! Thank you @TransAlt, @ebottcher, @KeithPowersNYC, @NYCComptroller, @tonysimone, and @ZohranKMamdani for always supporting fast, reliable buses!

             🚦Less traffic. Cleaner air. Faster commutes. Safer streets. Thanks to congestion pricing, NYC has: ✅ 67k fewer cars ✅ Subway & bus ridership up ✅ Traffic deaths down ✅ $15B for transit upgrades This is progress — and we’re just getting started.

             Curb bump outs? Daylighting?❌ Crews just finished 2 days of work replacing these corners and safety improvements were not made to an intersection that consistently is hard for sr’s to cross in one light cycle. Ped safety improvements need to be automatic, not an afterthought!

             Enough is enough! Open the 34th St Busway! 
           Unacceptable. @NYCMayor Adams is stalling yet another transportation project: "Even after a successful round of outreach that saw every single elected official and all three community boards in the neighborhood support the proposal, the whole thing is now in limbo."
