Deepest thanks, Mayor, for honoring the extraordinary contributions of Laura Anglin. Our Deputy Mayor was one of the true heroes who led fearlessly during the pandemic and helped our city to recover. Laura devoted her whole life to public service. We will never forget our friend.

On behalf of a grateful city, I offer condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of former deputy mayor Laura Anglin, a true public servant who worked tirelessly on operations and helped manage challenging crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic. May she rest in peace.

Errol, thank you! We are bombarded with negative images of this place we all love, when the truth is there are so many good people here and plenty of things that work. Of course we have real problems to address. But I appreciate anyone who reminds the world of all the good here.

I really used to like Starbucks. I will miss their coffee a lot. But I literally can’t bring myself to go there anymore. Their union-busting tactics are blatant and disgusting. We all have to make sure they don’t get away with it. And that begins with not giving them our money.

It increasingly looks like Starbucks is firing one union leader after another This past Tuesday, Starbucks fired barista CJ Miller, "a beloved union leader, coworker, & friend," who worked in a Starbucks in Independence, Missouri gofundme.com/f/support-cj-f

In these turbulent and often confusing times, we deeply need to affirm hope and feel a chance for renewal. Rosh Hashanah provides both. Enjoy this beautiful holiday and time with beloved family and friends! Shana Tovah!

It sickens me that the Trump Organization is causing pain to 9/11 families by partnering with LIV Golf in NYC. I have grieved with countless family members: their pain is more important than Trump profits. Trump and LIV, cancel this tournament before Sunday. Show some respect

This Senate Democratic Majority with the Inflation Reduction Act has just passed the largest package to fight the climate crisis ever passed by the United States Congress.
An image reads: "The Inflation Reduction Act: The single biggest climate investment in U.S. history."

And seriously: achieving actual progress on climate and prescription drug costs, plus the sharpest contrast imaginable on abortion and gun safety, plus democracy versus extremism — #Democrats will have a lot to work with going into November

The agreement signed today by Ukraine, the Russian Federation & Türkiye under UN auspices opens a path for commercial food exports from Ukraine in the Black Sea. It will help avoid a food shortage catastrophe for millions worldwide. It is a beacon of hope, possibility & relief.

It’s clear the people of #NY10 are looking for another option and I respect that. Time for me to leave electoral politics and focus on other ways to serve. I am really grateful for all the people I met, the stories I heard and the many good souls who helped out. Thank you all!

We all know that NYC students have had to face tremendous challenges over the last 2 years, socially, emotionally, and academically due to COVID-19. I urge the City Council & the Mayor to restore these funds and apply the rollover of stimulus dollars to hold core funding steady.

Some people have the ability to change the world and to persevere despite every obstacle: Al Vann was one of those special individuals. He ALWAYS fought for equality, but never let the challenges embitter him. I remember his kind smile and the hope he created. RIP, brother

Great meeting with the leaders of the Red Hook Houses Resident Association! We need the federal government to invest and re-invest in NYCHA to make it the model for public housing around the country.
