    Governor Hochul made the right call to suspend the implementation of congestion pricing in Manhattan's Central District. The majority of our outer-borough residents live in transit deserts that would be burdened by an additional commuting tax in our city.

    Jordan Neely was a talented performer in New York City who deserved to live. He deserved a compassionate and comprehensive response to address his basic needs.

    All New Yorkers deserve to feel safe at every intersection, but there are neighborhoods where vehicular crashes have become the norm. These tragedies are life-altering for the families of crash victims and pedestrians who sustain serious injuries.
    A 64-year-old woman was struck by a Chevy sedan Tuesday morning and later died at Kings County Hospital, according to police. trib.al/bfo1gW6

    Social distancing rules apply to all NYC residents without exemption, but recent incidents of noncompliance & inconsistent #NYPD enforcement have proven otherwise. This is a dangerous precedent that further strains community-police relations in communities of color. (1/4)

    It's National #WearRedDay! Cardiovascular disease is the No. 1 killer of women and the cause of more than one-third of maternal deaths, with rates highest among Black women. We wear red today, but we educate and advocate for adequate women's healthcare every day. #GoRedforWomen

    Extremely frustrated and alarmed after discovering my car had been vandalized for the third time in a few weeks. A bit shaken up as this occurred close to home again. Thankful for the prompt response of @NYPD67pct and @NYPD70pct. Hopefully the perps will be apprehended.
