Durga Puja! May this festival mark a season of reflection, gender justice, and resilience.

I was honored to join @NYCMayor at Om Shakti Temple in Jackson Heights to celebrate Durga Puja. Over the last week, we’ve spent this time in community, honoring the triumph of good over evil, motherhood and feminine power in this universe, and righteousness over ignorance.

Subway ridership is up, and subway crime is the lowest in 16 years. That’s @KathyHochul's record of delivering for us. Bruce Blakeman’s record is stoking fear and division. He's using the same old MAGA playbook that is failing across the country. nytimes.com/2026/09/30/us/po…

Yesterday, I joined @NYCMayor and @GovKathyHochul to announce we’re adding 10,000 free 2K seats– including in Elmhurst & Jackson Heights! Parents, get ready!!

I joined @NYCMayor and @GovKathyHochul to announce 12,000 2K seats– including in Jackson Heights & Elmhurst! As a dad, I know how complicated childcare is for families. I'm thrilled that we are getting more free seats and taking this off parents' plates.

Bruce Blakeman is complicit in Donald Trump's mass deportation campaign that’s tearing families apart and spreading fear in our city. We must reject ICE and their enablers at the ballot box and support fighters like @KathyHochul, who will fight for us.

Now more than ever, we need leadership like @TishJames–who I’ve seen first-hand support our immigrant communities and hold Donald Trump and ICE accountable. I’m proud to stand with her tonight. #AGDebate2026

I’m furious that a New Yorker in the Bronx was shot by ICE agents. Donald Trump and the federal government's escalation of force and presence in New York City are not keeping anyone safe. We must abolish this rogue and violent agency.

Happening now! You may notice me sitting at a different desk.👨🏾‍⚖️

I had a great time at @VendorPower Street Vendor Gala— celebrating the important work the SVP has done for street vendors! I’m proud that this year we got Local Law 52 across the finish line—decriminalizing street vending & ensuring we are treating vendors with dignity.

Councilmember Shekar Krishnan noted, “AI has taken over our economy, inflated valuations, stealing our public land for data centers, and increasing the net worth of AI CEOs like Elon Musk, who became our first ever trillionaire.” cnbc.com/2026/10/05/spacex-s…

I had a great time celebrating Flushing Meadows Corona Park and the amazing @QnsNightMarket vendors at the @AllianceForFMCP annual benefit. FMCP is a representation of the diversity that makes Queens so amazing. 📸Photo credit: Greg Kessler.

“You are coming to a hearing today to testify about the dangers and risks of artificial intelligence,” CM Shekar Krishnan said after asking about threats to the city pension systems, with the influence of AI in the stock market where pensions are invested. thecityreporter.nyc/2026/10/…

Today, at our @NYCCouncil Committee of the Whole, I asked AI companies a simple question: how are you protecting New Yorkers' money? Our retirements & 401K’s are tied to the success of these companies— which are focused on hoarding wealth for their CEO’s.

Out now: I had a great conversation with Ben Max about our @NYCCouncil oversight hearing on screens in schools. These big corporations want us to feel like the problem is too big to solve — conversations like this one expose that it’s not.
