- You blazed the trail, showing so many of us the way. We can never repay the debt. Rest in peace. #RBG
- Our most heartfelt congratulations to @POTUS Joe Biden and the first female @VP in our nation's history, @KamalaHarris. We are proud to witness this momentous day. #Inauguration2021President Joe Biden: “I pledge this to you: I will be a president to all Americans … and I promise you I will fight as hard for those who did not support me as for those who did.” abcn.ws/3bVWOlN #InaugurationDay
00:00 - In the wake of efforts across the country to restrict a woman's right to choose, it's important to know that New York State acts as a safe haven for women seeking safe and legal access to reproductive healthcare. We applaud the Governor's initiative.
- An arsenal of homemade bombs and ghost guns was found in an Astoria apartment. We cannot measure the number of lives that were saved, but we do know that these weapons will never hurt anyone. Two brothers each face 25 years in prison. bit.ly/49bWeKP
- We are glad to welcome Dirk McCall (@mcdirk) as our new Director of Civic Awareness. With over 26 years of community organizing and communications experience, Dirk will help lead community outreach and engagement efforts on behalf of Queens DA Katz. Welcome to the team, Dirk!
- Update: Queens website consultant charged with grand larceny for stealing the proceeds of an online sale of more than 3,000 @TheSolanaSwamp #NFTs; allegedly diverted nearly $233K in SOL #cryptocurrency to his personal digital wallets. #NFTArt #cybercrime
- We filed first-degree murder charges in the shooting death of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller and first-degree attempted murder charges for trying to fire the weapon at an NYPD sergeant present at the scene. We will not rest until justice is achieved.
- Update: DA Katz announces seizure of 1.7 million pieces of counterfeit personal protection equipment (PPE) from warehouse in Long Island City. Pallets were piled high in dirty and dusty building with imitation #N95 masks awaiting sale. Full release: bit.ly/2MU8vPy
- We charged a Corona man with first-degree rape, kidnapping and other crimes for allegedly attacking two 13-year-olds in Kissena Park. This horrific assault strikes at the very core of our society. He faces up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted. bit.ly/3z9gsIB
- Our latest newsletter highlights the need for a candid discussion on the existing #bailreform laws in the State. NY is the only State in the nation that does not allow the consideration of public safety risk when deliberating pre-trial detention. That needs to change.
- As we say our final farewell this morning to @NYPDNews Officer Wilbert Mora, we are also thinking of the young off-duty officer shot in the Rockaways last night while on his way to work. Thankfully, his injuries are not life-threatening. (1/2)
- Congratulations to Keechant Sewell, the incoming NYPD Commissioner! This is a momentous occasion for our City. We look forward to working closely with you as we continue our everyday efforts to keep Queens County safe.
- Today marks 51 years since Denise Sheehy was last seen leaving her home in Woodside, disappearing without a trace. Her family and loved ones still search for answers. If you have any information, contact @NYPDTips. All tips are confidential! #ColdCaseUnit
