Last Thursday, at 26 Federal Plaza, I was arrested w colleagues for demanding ICE be held accountable for inhumane conditions. I held Dino—our beloved neighbor & restaurant worker, deported & torn from his wife & 3 kids—in my heart. NY must pass #NY4All & NYC must pass the Trust Act

No NYer should suffer bc they can’t afford the medicine they need to breathe. I proudly passed my bill w @NYSenatorRivera to require insurance plans to cover inhalers without out-of-pocket costs. This is more than a policy win—it’s a victory for health & environmental justice. Bit.ly/QNSJGR
Today I joined Dan Mannarino & Hazel Sanchez on Pix 11 as we wrap up Human Trafficking Awareness Month. As Chair of the Subcommittee on Human Trafficking, I’ll be working to pass my bill to provide undocumented victims of crime with temporary medical + safety net assistance.
I am running for State Senate to push New York to the forefront in guaranteeing free, high-quality child care for every family and to treat the early childhood workforce with the respect and compensation they deserve. 💝 Learn about my plan here: votejgr.com/child-care
During our transit hearing I asked @mta.info Chairman Lieber about raising the threshold of eligibility for the fair fares program for reduced price Metrocards for low-income NYers. The MTA wants it. It's on the NYC Mayor to get it done. Until then I have a bill on it. @pcac.org
NEW: Last night on @lastweektonight.com John Oliver discussed “Excited Delirium” - a debunked diagnosis by several professional associations - and why it should be banned from use. Watch here ⤵️
It was a joy to join @benmax.bsky.social and Eli Valentín to discuss the Mayor’s race, Latino vote, and shifts in generational ideologies amongst the diverse Latino communities in NYC. 🎧 Listen to snippet below and the whole episode here: bit.ly/4lOcN61
AND he mentioned my bill with Senator Samra Brouk A697/S1714 to prohibit the use of the term “excited delirium” as a diagnosis, label, or cause of death. Some states have already passed similar bills. It's time we do the same.
🎉I’m proud to have the endorsement of Assembly Member Larinda Hooks. Larinda is a strong partner in the fight for health care, working families & a more united Queens. Together, we’re building a campaign rooted in community, collaboration & showing up for the people we serve.✊🏽
Last week many of us joined advocates to call for action on SNAP skimming. Over 100,000 New Yorkers have had their public benefits stolen and it’s costing taxpayers millions of dollars. We must establish a victims compensation fund to restore benefits & implement EMV cards.
NEW: I spoke to Shantel Destra on @nynowpbs.bsky.social about my bill with Senator Gustavo Rivera to eliminate costs for asthma inhalers. It shouldn’t cost so much to breathe.
PM Carney: "Today is also about building trust in a Canada that works. A Canada rooted in cooperative federalism where we build together, pragmatically and ambitiously, to achieve our shared ambitions."

The Fire offense has not hit the flow they want as far as getting from action to action. I will say the Tempo keep building defensively. Activity and physicality has been there.

An animation project I made for Video Production last semester. We had to make a 30-second CM or trailer with at least one live-action shot and one animated/SFX shot. This was a horror-comedy loosely inspired by my experience taking the public bus home. I wanted to play around with mixed media.

Murray: “We should be sending money to our schools, not buying more missiles that Trump can fire on schools in Iran. We should be building bridges here in America, not destroying them in Iran. This budget would rob our families and burden our grandkids with mountains of new debt, and for what?”

When I’m Governor of Maine, we’ll stand up to Donald Trump with more than empty words and symbolic gestures. We will arrest ICE agents who break the law in our state. That is a promise. #mepolitics

Repost by @JCMacriNBA For some reason, this timeout was called & it's why the Knicks didn't have a timeout with 5 seconds left down 1. Completely indefensible. Click to see original repost
GOP frustration grows at Musk as he steps up his attacks and puts Rs on defensive amid deficit fears. But moderates like Murkowksi wary of deeper cuts, as hardliners say they won’t accept less from Senate. Senate Rs need to cut deeper, Chip Roy warns, “or the bill's dead.”

Trataka — an ancient meditation practice where you fix your gaze on a single point and hold it. Simple concept. Profound effect. It trains the mind the same way it trains the eyes — to be still, present and focused in a world that never stops pulling your attention away.
