Our continued reliance on fossil fuels is driving up utility costs. We must take action to better plan our energy system, improve grid performance, and lower consumers' electricity bills. I stand with my colleagues and advocates in pushing for these critical steps.

With nearly 20% of our waste made up of food scraps, we can’t ignore the cost to our environment or economy. Restoring $5M for Food Waste Reduction grants and supporting programs that help communities cut landfill waste and emissions is a smart investment for NY.

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.

We’re putting consumers ahead of corporate profits and stopping companies from exploiting hardworking people. As Consumer Protection chair, I’m proud to sponsor two bills in this bill package: a cap on care rental fuel charges and the deletion of financial data after auto-renewal cancellation.

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.

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.

Congratulations to everyone at InterFaith Works on 50 years of service! The work you do to support refugees and strengthen our community is invaluable and has made Central New York and our whole society a better place.

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.

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.

New York’s commitment to free expression means readers should have access to diverse materials. My Freedom to Read (S1099) and Open Shelves (S1100A)bills help protect that access. Thank you to my Assembly colleagues and the fantastic authors who supported these bills at our rally today.

(also Poker Face being turned into a ballad shouldn't have worked but it did.)

This is actually remarkably in character for Ruby. (@Raichana.bsky.social owns Ariel!)

Across the country, Democrats are delivering major election wins at every level. Republicans are afraid - and they should be. It's clear as day: Democrats WILL take back the country in 2026, and deliver a better future for American families.

You have to ask yourself : Do they have actual SHIT for brains ? Just FUCKING DUMB ? Apparently, the queen would turn in her grave hearing about “immigrants eating corgis” … Again, I feel embarrassed that these people are allowed to vote & worse … roam amongst us.

"Sheriff" ANDY GRIFFITH talks in 1972 about the possibility of celebrity power being turned into corrupted political power. Although he’s talking about the excellent movie, A FACE IN THE CROWD (1957) - this is about as prescient as it comes, for 47 years later, "The Apprentice" TV show premiered.

It is one of my favorite halls of Kyiv Picture Gallery. The gallery is housed in the former mansion of Fedir Tereshchenko (1832–1894), a Ukrainian industrialist and art collector. I visited it today to see a new exhibition. Ukraine hides so many treasures.

PM Carney: "Led by the US, technological change is accelerating at a pace we have not seen in our lifetime. The US is transforming all of its commercial relationships, as is its right. The world is becoming more divided and dangerous. And Canada recognized these developments earlier than most."

The Minister claims he’s listening to parents, but the facts speak for themselves. Funding for special edu staff is going down—leaving kids without the access and support they deserve—but somehow this govt can find $5 billion to spend on allowing private jets to land on Toronto’s waterfront. #onted

Your audience isn’t one type of person, so your content shouldn’t be either. Short, long, video, static, different formats reach different people. Growth comes from variation, not perfection.

Briahna Joy Gray: "I know many, you know, people on the left who would happily vote for Tucker Carlson before AOC. I'm frustrated by that dynamic because I, you know, I don't want Tucker Carlson to be President, I also can't see myself damaging my own credibility by telling someone to vote for AOC."

The way Trump stared at this reporter is disturbing. She was asking him about U.S foreign policy/China’s role in Latin America. Instead of answering her question he says to Vance Í just like to watch her talk “before saying to her”Good job Good job thank you Darling”. This is so 🤢

So here it is, ladies and gentlemen, here’s the line, and if you have to look behind you, you’re disgusting. You should take your fake Christian values, your higher-than-thou attitude, grab your fake Messiah, and leave so we can make the country great again. Immigrants were never the problem.
