On this exact date in 1986 Roy Cohn was disbarred in New York. 35 years later Rudy Giuliani’s law license was suspended in NY. June 24 is not a good day to be an attorney for Donald Trump, but it’s a wonderful day for everyone else.

This is a new one: a constituent demands the immediate reopening of the Lincoln Square IMAX so he can watch The Great British Baking Show in the largest possible format.

To suggest any equivalence between choosing not to vaccinate your children and protect them and others from illnesses like polio, and the horrific suffering of mothers whose children were murdered, is frankly appalling and should be called out as such.

Jimmy Carter forever deserves respect for his forward-thinking embrace of public health initiatives. Through his efforts, guinea worm disease is nearly eradicated. There were 3.5 million cases in 1986.

We all know what a sane response would be: Close indoor dining. Close bars. Close gyms. Pay them to stay closed until COVID rates are under control.

I join Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins in calling on the Governor to resign. At this point, it would be best for New York.

BREAKING: After Rand Paul's offensive, transphobic & medically inaccurate comments to Dr. Rachel Levine, I'm calling for him to face consequences. Paul shouldn't pretend his medical training justifies lies about trans folks. His fellow ophthalmologists must condemn his remarks.

Last week, I tried to donate blood. I was rejected for being gay. We’re in the middle of a nationwide blood shortage, but gay and bisexual men are still being treated like second-class citizens. Here’s my letter to the New York Blood Center urging them to update this policy:

After a very long week (and a very long night!) I’ve decided to run for re-election to NYS Senate District 47. There’s a lot more work to be done in Albany. Good luck to all in NY10!

. @NYPDnews , @NYCMayor : 1) Was an officer inside this vehicle? 2) Why did you provide an escort to a vehicle that was then allowed to drive directly into a crowd? 3) Does the NYPD have protocols to consider cars as potential weapons given their use as such by white supremacists?
