We need every New Yorker eligible to vote in the June primaries to make their voices heard. Early voting begins today, New York! Visit elections.ny.gov for more.

New Yorkers aren’t intimidated by anyone, not even the President. We won’t allow an $85 billion agency to operate without accountability. We won’t allow ICE agents to hide behind masks. And we won’t turn local police into Trump’s deportation force.

For too long, NIMBY culture has blocked the housing New Yorkers need. Not anymore. In New York City and across the state, we’re cutting red tape, bringing down costs, and letting them build.

When Trump and RFK, Jr. put politics ahead of science and public health, it has deadly consequences. New York is fighting back. I just signed legislation protecting New Yorkers from rogue federal actions that could limit access to lifesaving vaccines.

Trump’s recklessness. New Yorkers paying the price.

As New York’s first mom governor, I take the care of our children seriously — almost as seriously as these little ones take their arts and crafts! That’s why this year's budget puts us on a path to delivering universal child care statewide.

When boundaries are crossed, accountability matters. We will not let ICE use local cops to carry out civil immigration enforcement. We will not let ICE agents hide behind masks to evade responsibility. And we will not let ICE agents get away with violating New Yorkers’ rights.

Crime is down in New York because we’ve given local law enforcement the resources to protect local communities. Donald Trump said himself there would not be a surge of ICE agents into New York unless I asked for it. I’m not asking.

Our budget is focused on one thing: Delivering for New Yorkers. Because your family and your future are my fight.

On International Firefighters Day, we honor the brave New Yorkers who run toward danger to keep our communities safe. New York is grateful for your courage, your sacrifice, and your service — today and every day.

Today we welcomed King Charles and Queen Camilla to New York City and joined them at Ground Zero to honor the lives we lost on 9/11. As we approach 25 years since the attacks, the pain of that day remains and so does the resilience New Yorkers showed in its aftermath.

Tariffs and trade wars have driven up costs for everyone. That includes businesses like Kamco, builders, and families trying to afford a home in New York. We’re focused on real relief: Lowering auto insurance costs and putting money back where it belongs — in your pocket.

There is no gray area. Insider trading on prediction markets is corruption, plain and simple. While Trump and Washington Republicans turn a blind eye, New York is taking action.

State landmarks were lit blue and red this week to honor New Yorkers who've experienced crime and the professionals who support them. During Crime Victims Rights Week and every week, we are committed to supporting crime victims and ensuring they get the justice they deserve.

Trump’s tariffs were nothing but an illegal tax on businesses and hardworking families. I’m fighting to get New Yorkers every penny they’re owed.

Governor Kathy Hochul @governor.ny.gov · 22/04/2026
Trump and Washington Republicans have turned prediction markets into an ethical free-for-all. New York is stepping up to stop insiders from cashing in on information the public doesn’t have.

Plans for this new apartment building in Troy were submitted in spring of 2023. Extensive reviews meant it was two more years before they could even break ground. It's clear that the status quo isn't working. Cut the red tape. Let them build.

Happy National Arab American Heritage Month, New York! From Bay Ridge and Astoria to Rochester and Buffalo, New York’s Arab American communities are rich in their expression of music, food, history and art. Proud to celebrate the achievements and resiliency of all Arab Americans.

Go to any gas station from Rochester to Far Rockaway and you'll hear the same thing: The cost of gas is too damn high. And they know whose fault it is, Mr. President. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Now more than ever, we need to stand together to protect our democracy. Proud to join Rev. Al Sharpton and leaders from across the country to celebrate 35 years of the National Action Network as we continue the fight for justice, decency, and equal opportunity for all.

As part of our statewide effort, the DOT is filling 175,000 potholes this month alone. I don’t care what you call me — I just want to get these potholes filled.

Communities in the Southern Tier want affordable child care, affordable car insurance, and less red tape to stand in the way of affordable homes and infrastructure. Let’s get it done.

A blind man was left to fend for himself on a bitter February night by Donald Trump’s DHS. His death was just ruled a homicide. This was a failure of basic humanity. The Erie County District Attorney is investigating. Anyone found responsible must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

New York has always been a beacon of freedom and hope for the persecuted. As trans rights remain under attack across the nation, we stand tall. We celebrate our trans neighbors. We value their contributions to our great state. We will never stop fighting for them.

A very happy birthday to my incredible husband, and the First Gentleman of New York! Bill, thank you for always being there with love, laughter, and unwavering support.    I’m so lucky to share this life with you. ❤️

Congestion pricing has been a huge success. Traffic is down. Business is up. The cameras are staying on.

New York is home to two of the nation's busiest airports. At a time when air travel safety is front of mind, the last thing we need is disruption and dysfunction. I'm calling on New York Republicans in Congress to take up the bipartisan bill to staff the TSA and end this chaos.

Today marks 115 years since 146 people lost their lives in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. The victims were mostly young immigrant women who came to New York seeking a better life. In their memory and for all workers, we continue the fight for workers' rights today.

Parents and kids have been sounding the alarm for years about the harmful effects of addictive social media algorithms.    That’s why I worked with @nilyrozic.bsky.social and Sen. Gounardes to pass the nation-leading SAFE for Kids Act in 2024.    This is a victory for kids across the country.

From Buffalo to Albany, illegal gun modifications — tiny switches the size of a lego — are turning handguns into machine guns. We're taking action. To anyone trying to create these homemade killing machines, I have a simple message: Not here. Not in New York. Not on my watch.

Communities from the North Country to New Rochelle are ready to deliver the housing and infrastructure they need. Now, we need to cut red tape that slows down these projects and let them build.

For centuries, New York and Canada have shared a strong partnership — built on trade, community, and deep cultural ties. We’re not going to let Donald Trump’s reckless talk of a “51st state” come between us.

This is what it looks like when New Yorkers come together and say enough is enough. By tackling fraud and abuse, we’ll bring down auto insurance costs and deliver relief for millions of New Yorkers.

We're suing the Trump administration for illegally withholding billions of dollars for the Second Avenue Subway extension. For months, they’ve stood in the way of progress. New Yorkers can’t afford to wait.

Fort Drum soldiers and their families are part of New York’s community — and we want them to stay. Through Next Move NY, we’re investing in training, career opportunities, and community connections so veterans and their spouses can build their futures right here in New York.

North Country businesses, farms, and tourism are paying the pricing for Trump’s reckless tariffs. International traffic is down and local economies are suffering. Our message to Washington is simple: Return our $13.5 billion and help our communities get back on their feet.

A recent report from WIN NYC shows that 80% of women have faced some type of job disruption due to child care challenges. That is unacceptable. And it’s why we’re going to make universal child care a reality.

The best part of today? Talking with students about their favorite classes (and favorite school meals!) We made school meals free across New York State – 275 million served and counting – because we know that success in the classroom starts in the cafeteria.

Donald Trump's attempt to kill congestion pricing just failed in court — and in spectacular fashion. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The cameras are staying on.

New York is home to the largest Dominican community outside the island — over one million strong. Your culture and resilience are woven into the fabric of our state. 🇩🇴 On the 182nd anniversary of Dominican Independence Day, we celebrate them and invest in our shared future.

Trump’s tariffs are a backdoor tax that cost New Yorkers over $13 billion. On behalf of small businesses like Victor’s and families across our state: pay us back, in full, now.

The FBI cannot function under a cloud of repeated leadership failures. Few roles carry greater responsibility to keep Americans safe. Kash Patel must resign.

New Yorkers, heavy snow and strong winds are still impacting parts of our state. If you don’t need to travel, please stay home and keep the roads clear for plows and first responders. Check on your neighbors, especially older adults, and report power outages. Stay safe, New York.

A major winter storm is impacting New York now. If you live on Long Island, New York City, or the Hudson Valley, avoid travel today into Monday. Sign up for emergency alerts by texting your county or borough name to 333111. New York is ready. We’ll get through this together.
