The hateful graffiti and swastikas on Williamsburg school buses is disgusting.
I hope law enforcement finds who is responsible for this antisemitic vandalism and they're held accountable.

Three family members are charged with stealing $4.7M from NY’s Medicaid program. My office aggressively investigates Medicaid fraud because the program provides vital health care services to millions of NYers. Thanks to Schenectady Co.

Richmond Hill and Ozone Park in Queens are thriving, diverse neighborhoods. I released my new economic snapshot at the South Ozone Park Library alongside local leaders and community residents.
It reveals there is much to be excited about, including job and wage growth that exceeds citywide rates and improved quality of life, and highlights challenges and work to be done.

More NYers who worked from home are returning to the office, but the newest numbers show the work from home rate still twice what it was before the pandemic. Our data analysis also reveals a hybrid work schedule is becoming more popular than strictly working from home.

ALT A graph of "Work From Home Rates" shows statistics from 2017 to 2024. Two lines, one for the national average and one for New York. State rate down to 11.4% in 2024 from 19.1% in 2021, just below national rate. Was just under 5% in 2019.

Dolores Huerta's passing is a tremendous loss. As co-founder of United Farm Workers, her strength, perseverance and organizing improved working conditions for farm workers across the country. We will always remember the profound difference she made standing up for those who were often scared to speak for themselves. Sí, se puede. Rest in power, Dolores.

Anthropic says building AI safely takes extraordinary care, and I agree. The people funding it deserve a real voice in how it's governed. Giving almost complete control to handful of corporate insiders and insulating them from shareholder accountability is not the way to oversee one of the most transformative technologies ever developed. My full statement ⬇️
Congratulations to @MetCouncil and CEO/Exec Dir. @NYCGreenfield on your new state of the art warehouse in Brooklyn. It will advance your mission to provide food to NYers in need, including kosher food for the Jewish community from Albany to Long Island.
