Congrats to @unitehere100 on the opening of your new Culinary Education Center in Woodside! This center will train up to 500 workers a year, opening doors to new skills, certifications, and better-paying union careers. Investing in workers means investing in Queens! ✊🏽

This is garbage journalism at its worst & @nypost should be ashamed.😤 @SenatorBrouk was on parental leave & @bmaher23ny was serving his country in the National Guard. Elected officials also deserve time off to care for themselves & their child, or honorably serve their country

Thank you, @GovKathyHochul, for putting $10 million toward building this new community center — with a public pool! — across the street from PS 398. To all our elected partners who secured funding for this space, it's an honor to work alongside you in support of our families

Every New Yorker out there needs to hear this. Bruce Blakeman agrees with Trump when he says that only “Backwards and poor” support Governor @KathyHochul's first in the nation moratorium on data centers. He doesn't give a damn about protecting our communities.

Here is the clip of Bruce Blakeman saying he will "cut Medicaid in half." As he lies to New Yorkers' faces from the debate stage and claims he never said it.
NEW: Bruce Blakeman says he will "cut Medicaid in half" Blakeman is doubling down on his promise to gut healthcare as nearly half a million New Yorkers are losing coverage because of Trump's Medicaid cuts.

Bruce Blakeman supports a rogue, lawless, Trumped-up agency that literally uses our tax dollars to hunt and kidnap Latinos and other people of color. That agency is ICE. We reject Blakeman’s racism & xenophobia. 🙅🏻‍♀️ Vote @KathyHochul for NY Governor on the @NYWFP line! 🗳️
My opponent just admitted he’d be fine with ICE agents recklessly shooting into a vehicle without knowing who’s inside. They could have killed a five-year-old child in the Bronx. ICE is out of control, and yet Bruce Blakeman is okay with that.

Blakeman keeps taking credit for making Nassau the safest county in America. He's lying. Violent crime spiked to a 10-year high under his watch. politifact.com/factchecks/20…

Sexual violence requires more than accountability after harm is done. We need to change the culture that allows it to persist & that starts w education. I co-wrote an op-ed w @CCT4NYC for @CityAndStateNY about why NY must pass Healthy & Safe Students Act👇🏽 cityandstateny.com/opinion/2…

.@epicenter_nyc: Immigrants cling to a narrative of the US in which hard work, compliance & patience deliver safety & prosperity. We want to believe there is a “right way” to belong—& that doing things right will keep us safe. That is absolutely not true. epicenter-nyc.com/new-york-i…

Today, I honor the Indigenous peoples whose histories, cultures, traditions & knowledge have shaped this land for generations. I honor the Munsee Lenape people of our neighborhoods in Queens & urge our communities to be good stewards of our land, for generations to come after us
