We are the United States of America – there's nothing we can't do if we do it together.
We just have to remember who we are.
I’ve dedicated my presidency to proving that, and I'll continue to do so today, tomorrow, and every day that I have the honor of being your president.

Joe Biden has been one of America’s most consequential presidents, as well as a dear friend and partner to me. Today, we’ve also been reminded – again – that he’s a patriot of the highest order.

We echo the sentiments of Justice Jackson, who rightly emphasized that deeming race irrelevant in law does not make it so in life. This decision cannot stand, and Congress must exert their authority to defend the use of race as a factor in college admissions. #AffirmativeAction

State lawmakers took a step last week toward making a common but controversial contract a relic of the past in New York — passing a bill that would ban employee noncompete agreements.

🚨HUGE win for competition and worker mobility: the New York state assembly has passed a ban on nearly all noncompete agreements--regardless of industry or salary level.
NY joins OK, ND, and CA as the only states with sweeping restrictions on noncompetes.

Proud to sponsor this bill in the Senate. Thanks to Assemblymember Joyner and the NYS Assembly for advancing this important piece of legislation.
