Proud to share that my bill, S4408, has passed the Senate. This legislation opens the door to renewable energy projects on parts of state reforestation land, helping New York reduce its dependence on fossil fuels, lower energy costs, and protect natural resources.

Our rural communities are essential to NY's identity and economy. Today, I hosted our Rural Resources Fair, a chance for my colleagues to connect with rural organizations. Through this fair, we learn more about our rural communities and ensure they receive the support and recognition they deserve.

Harmful algal blooms threaten our lakes, putting drinking water and public health at risk. My HAB Monitoring and Prevention Act (S1833A) gives municipalities the tools to identify and respond. Thank you to the Senate Majority for passing my bill and other environmental bills to celebrate Earth Day.

For Banned Books Week, I'd like to share a passage from a history book that holds significance for me, the one my grandparents wrote in the 1960s. Despite being an accurate account of our history, there was significant opposition to its publication, with calls for it to be banned.

Too many New Yorkers, especially in rural counties, struggle to find dental care closer to home because there aren’t enough providers. My bill, now law, allows dental hygienists to collaborate with dentists and deliver care without direct supervision. This change will help expand access.

My bill, the Freedom to Read Act (S1099), affirms that every New York student should have access to inclusive, developmentally appropriate library collections chosen by librarians. Advocates went to Albany to urge Governor Hochul to sign the bill.

Access to fresh, healthy food shouldn’t depend on where you live. Senator Baskin’s FRESH Communities Act will bring grocery stores to underserved areas and support local farmers. Proud to co-sponsor this bill that will benefit public health in communities across New York.

Today, we celebrate the life and legacy of Harriet Tubman on the anniversary of her passing in 1913. I’m proud that she made her home in Auburn, now part of the 48th District. Her courage and deep commitment to justice continue to inspire the fight for equality.

Over $1.2 million in funding for Onondaga County Public Libraries will help ensure a positive experience, whether browsing popular books, researching, or studying quietly. To best serve the 48th District, our libraries must be safe, secure, accessible, and equipped with the latest technology.

Last week, we saw several state legislatures, emboldened by an extremist Supreme Court, move to further disenfranchise Black voters. Here in New York, we should be proud that we are taking the opposite approach by making it easier for all eligible New Yorkers to exercise their right to vote.

JD Vance says he told Karoline Leavitt he's ONLY filling in as press secretary for the day on "ONE CONDITION": "When Usha has our baby in July that SHE would be Vice President for a couple of weeks!" He has a great sense of humor. I love this guy. 48!

This is how they extract the explosive (TNT) from an anti-tank mine. It is melted down in a slow cooker and used in projectiles for dropping from a UAV or a drone such as the Mavic. It’s a whole science in itself, but one that can be learnt quickly.

"The genocide left catastrophic destruction across the Gaza Strip, with nearly 90 percent of the civilian infrastructure reduced to rubble, including homes, schools, hospitals, and essential public services."

You don’t condemn something you don’t wanna undo. Just don’t condemn it, it means literally nothing

I heard from a single mom in Lincoln Heights how her teen and tween daughters are living in fear of ICE. We are not talking about undocumented people, or even legal residents. These girls come from a family that has been in LA for generations.

Part of me thinks this couldn’t be a real attempted shooting, then another part of me thinks, they are just this incompetent and yet in the background I’m always thinking Release the #EpsteinFiles and get us out of the war with Iran #saynotowar. I’m like an onion with my thinking!

Anyhow, have a great night everyone! I hope you had a good weekend! Thanks for always tolerating my presence (I hope). Today was a great day all thanks to a film. No experience like going to the movies, especially for Star Wars 💚 Signing off till tomorrow 🫡

Deja vu. Not going in early, for once. But, needless drama got stirred yesterday, with a coworker accusing me of a malicious act. Today(?) I may, or may not, find out whether this gets blown out of proportion or gets squashed [as it should.] Any spare thoughts, prayers welcome.
