For decades, Bill Ritter has been a trusted presence in New Yorkers' homes, helping us make sense of the news that shape our city.
His courage in sharing his Alzheimer’s diagnosis will help countless families facing the same challenge feel less alone.
Wishing Bill, his loved ones, and everyone affected by Alzheimer's strength in the days ahead.

There’s no small business more quintessentially New York than @veselkanyc!
It’s a community hub, an immigrant success story, the best at what it does—and facing real challenges.
I talked to owner Jason Birchard about what Albany can do to support Veselka's ongoing thriving 👇

New Yorkers! EV starts tommorow!
I want to make one shoutout
For the last few years, we’ve gained lot of quiet YIMBY allies in the legislature. People who will support housing IF this and BUT that
It’s time to finally get a loud ally elected
Vote Ryder Kessler! @ryderkessler

"Environmental advocates slammed Heastie for not bringing the bill to a vote...'There was intense special interest lobbying against the bill, and supporters of the bill were outgunned and outspent'"
"At least three lobbyists who oppose the bill have close ties to the speaker" 🫠

NEW: A lobbyist who has been romantically linked to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie led a rally opposing plastic packaging legislation a week before the speaker declined to bring it to a vote.

It takes a lot to get heard in this city, especially in a crowded Assembly primary at the bottom of a very full ballot 😵💫
That's why I'm excited for our new ad, Get Heard, about the fights I've been leading—against MAGA, ICE on our streets, skyrocketing housing costs, and more!

New Yorkers deserve a government that prioritizes them.
The Commission on Government Efficiency (COGE) has been tasked with making City government work better for everyone.
Share your thoughts. Sign up to speak at a public hearing at nyc.gov/COGE
Working New Yorkers deserve a city government that’s as careful with their money as they are.
That’s why we launched COGE — the Commission on Government Efficiency.
This Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, join COGE for public hearings and tell us how government can work better for you.
Your ideas might end up on the ballot this November. Sign up to speak at nyc.gov/COGE.

Thank you to these Candidates Who Care who joined us in front of PPL's NYC headquarters to demand oversight for the CDPAP home care program, which has been collapsing under private equity control.
At a time when federal cuts threaten to gut Medicaid, we need representatives who recognize that it’s time to invest in Care Not Corruption!
Vote for them in the Democratic Primary on June 23!

I’m thrilled to have the support of the @NYCBldgTrades. Our trades are vital partners in moving the city forward and building a better future.
From affordable housing to renewables to childcare and healthcare, I’ll fight alongside them to deliver results for working New Yorkers.

Thanks so much to the @tribecacitizen for a wonderful conversation about the Assembly District 66 race!
We know how to lower New Yorkers' costs, improve our streetscape and our commutes, and protect our fundamental rights.
We just need leaders with the political will to act 👇
