🧵Day #2 of FY25 exec budget hearings. Today was NYCHA. Some takeaways: City Hall proposed a $274.8M supplement (up $58M from prelim budget). But mayor's exec budget doesn't include a single dime of what the @NYCCouncil called for in our response.
Wishing you all a great, joyful and safe thanksgiving. I am thankful for all that has been given to me. Especially the 46 years that you allowed me to represent you in the New York state assembly ( 16 years and the 30 years in the US Congress l.)
I voted absentee. Have you voted. Have you made your plans to do so it’s always important to vote but never more than now. With people in different parts of our society involved in attempts to weaken our democracy, we need to be aware & involved.
Thank you , Jimmy @consofrito for this beautiful post. I truly appreciate your words as I celebrate my 80th birthday. For many years you have been a friend and and I treasure our friendship.
In celebrating Juneteenth we can look to our past and stay committed to a future of full equality. My congratulations to all who fought for so long to make this day possible.
Happy Birthday to my son, @SenatorSerrano. I can’t say it enough just how much I love you and how proud I am of you. Wishing you many more birthdays, good health and happiness.
Today, Major League Baseball celebrates #LouGehrigDay to honor his greatness as a #HOF player & call attention to #ALS. A Decease that took his life much too soon. #JackieRobinson & #RobertoClemente are the other players with a day dedicated to them. @MLB
I’m in total agreement with @BarackObama, the rise of Antisemitism in our country is something we should not ignore. We should fight all forms of bigotry anywhere we find it and support our president in this very important mission. @POTUS@VP
The rise of antisemitic attacks should alarm all of us. Antisemitism and bigotry - like all forms of hate - have no place in our world, and it’s on each of us to combat this growing threat. @POTUS is right to take on this issue, and he deserves our support. whitehouse.gov/briefing-room…
