This morning, I had a moment when I thought I might be getting the hang of this parenting thing. Then I turned around to find my son elbow-deep in the toilet.
Being a working parent is hard! Hear my convo this week w/ @emmy_liss about how the admin is helping NYC families

I joined the @ABetterNY yesterday morning for a powerful conversation with @GovKathyHochul on the future of work.
AI is already reshaping our workforce, and women in particular are disproportionately at risk. As elected officials, we have a responsibility to ensure New Yorkers are ready to lead in what comes next.
An inspiring speech and Q&A! I’m encouraged by the Governor’s launch of the FutureWorks Commission and her focus on training workers, supporting small businesses, and making AI a force for good — not a force that leaves people behind.

In the wake of an abuse of power, New York made it harder to build infrastructure, housing, transit—forever.
This was supposed to stop the harms of highway expansion, but instead it froze us in the 1970s status-quo: the worst, most car-centric period in our state's development.

At @ABetterNY this morning, @GovKathyHochul promoted ways for the state to adapt to, and to embrace AI. Less reported: she pushed changing environmental review regs that have the unfortunate effect of stifling growth & housing production.
