It shouldn’t be normal for any politician to meet with a Neo-Nazi/White Supremacist and a. Not know it when that anti-Semite is a public figure and b. not denounce that person’s hateful statements.

Since the horrific attack on Paul early Friday, we have been deluged with thousands of messages conveying concern, prayers and warm wishes. We are most grateful. Thanks to the excellent team at @ZSFGCare, Paul is making steady progress on what will be a long recovery process.

The new state law on concealed gun carrying restrictions that prioritizes safety is going into effect tomorrow. This morning, I joined @GovKathyHochul and @NYCMayor for an announcement on the city’s plan to restrict guns in Times Square + raise awareness about the rules.

Protecting the Americans with Disabilities Act will require ppl w/ #disabilities to VOTE. Would this Supreme Court say disability rights are “deeply rooted” in American history and tradition & uphold disability rights under the 14th Amdt? Don't take that chance. #CriptheVote

Vanessa Nakate, an activist, told the UN climate summit that she and her peers didn't believe the pledges that officials made this week to move aggressively on climate change. But they want to. "I’m actually here to beg you to prove us wrong," she said. nyti.ms/30iGjMw

The Delta variant is different than what we’ve dealt with previously. It’s highly transmissible and causing a new wave of cases. But here’s the good news: we have the power to stop it. Get vaccinated — and let’s defeat this virus once and for all.

There is a lot of disinformation out there, but here’s the truth: You should get a COVID vaccine as soon as it's available to you. It could save your life—or a loved one’s. nytimes.com/2021/02/07/opini…

Communities of color were hit hardest by COVID. They can’t be the last to get the vaccine. That’s why NY is bringing the vaccine directly to the communities most in need.

As I reflect on the past four years, I can't help but think of Congressman John Lewis' powerful words, "Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime.”

The science behind climate change is not a hoax. The science behind COVID-19 is not partisan. And President-elect @JoeBiden and I will not only listen to the science—we will invest in it and the next generation of scientists.

A mask is not a political symbol. It’s just a mask. That saves lives.
