Thrilled that Easy Aerial won’t be permitted to renew its lease at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Full statement here:

Our State Government has been enabling millionaires & their corporations to drain NYC’s working-class of every penny possible. For our City to have a budget that works for the people, our *State* has to use its power to reverse tax breaks on the ultra-rich 2.25—see you in Albany. DSA.nyc/Albany

Hochul wants to “identify opportunities to enlist employers“ to solve the child care crisis. Sounds like folks should let her know we can do that by reversing Trump’s corporate tax cuts in NY 👀 #SOTS #TaxTheRich
Met up w/ Ms. Rachel and Mayor Zohran Mamdani as we prepare to roll out free child care for two-year-olds in NYC ✨ @msrachelforlittles.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov
What we’ve won today will change lives — and it’s just the beginning. We won’t let up until child care is free for all across the state and child care workers are paid fairly as educators.
New: Gov. Hochul is set to propose an expansion of universal pre-K statewide, funding for Mayor Mamdani's 2-Care program and pilots of additional child care expansions in select parts of the state. The pair will be in BK this morning with more details www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2026/...
The legislature is back in session! Let’s go win this Universal Child Care Act!
Trump’s trying to punish people who didn’t vote for him & doesn’t care that he’s also hurting some who did. But coming for NYers is foolish; try to stomp on us & we’ll fight that much harder to protect each other—and we’ll win Universal Child Care while we’re at it. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/06/u...
The Brooklyn Navy Yard’s lease agreements with Easy Aerial and Crye Precision are a moral failure and a betrayal of public trust. I’ll be with the DBNY Coalition tomorrow at 8:30am outside Building 92. See you there. ✊🏾🇵🇸
ESD’s failure to ensure the creation of these affordable units & choice to waive the fine is outrageous—and bitterly unsurprising. They’re not prioritizing commitments to the public; they’re serving the real estate corps looking to profit off our city. t.co/yEDYt7LX3n

Met with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @warren.senate.gov this weekend to talk Universal Child Care plans for New York. Big things are brewing ❤️
When the political establishment said this was impossible, thousands of New Yorkers came together to make it happen anyway. I’m so proud to be in this movement with all of you ❤️✊🏾🌹
We must all stand against President Trump’s attack on Iran and the destruction of lives in pursuit of global domination.
We need a special session. Our people cannot wait.
At Federal Plaza with elected officials, orgs, and NYers demanding the release of Brad Lander. Abolish ICE.
His name is Zohran MAMDANI put some respect on his name, Cuomo.
The power is out at our district office; there may be some delays in outreach from our office, but if you want to get in touch while phones are down you can email teambrisport@nysenate.gov
Cuomo says he’ll regulate delivery apps. Door Dash is betting a million dollars in donations to his campaign that he won’t.
A reminder that politicians pushing deportation don’t actually care about legality or citizenship; they want the power to eliminate and silence people of color at will.
NYC is about to return to using “tax lien sales” for the first time since 2020. 🚨Deadline to get your home off the list is June 2nd.🚨 More info & support at bit.ly/endlien
Protect your home and fight the tax lien sale
What is a tax lien sale?If you have unpaid property taxes, water bills, or other city charges, your home may be at risk of being put in the tax lien sale list. A “tax lien sale” is when the city sells...

Tax the Rich. Name the Rich. Oppose the Rich. I vote no.
Other City Councils all over the US can directly remove a mayor when egregious situations come up — they don’t have to wait on a governor. Am. Harvey Epstein & I just introduced a state bill to give our City Council that power too.
Let’s reverse President Trump’s Corporate Tax Cut; tell @Governor.ny.gov to fight back by passing the Corporate Tax bill in this year’s state budget. W/ @juliasalazar.bsky.social & @emilyassembly.bsky.social
Gov. Hochul has fiercely opposed raising taxes on the wealthy in every budget negotiation. spectrumlocalnews.com/nys/central-...
Gov. Hochul, her husband made nearly $1.5 million in 2024, taxes show
The governor makes her tax filings public each Taxes Day

A group of NYers were just arrested at the State Capitol during a peaceful protest calling on Gov. Hochul to provide statewide housing assistance for people with HIV/AIDS. *Unstable housing is the single strongest predictor of failed HIV treatment.* @housingworksnyc.bsky.social
This is an ✨all of us together moment✨ w/ @phara4assembly.bsky.social & @claireforqueens.bsky.social 🌹
Outside the US, tax filing is free & simple for most citizens of wealthy countries. Here, tax-filing companies have lobbied congress to prevent that, so they can profit off the struggle. While we fight capitalist tax-profiteering, Brooklynites can sign-up for free tax service at bit.ly/bktaxprep
