As Commander Chekov said..“Admiral, there be whales here!"
A whale in the Hudson River?! Yesterday, there were multiple reports of a humpback whale feeding alongside Hudson River Park from Pier 40 to Chelsea Piers. This footage was captured from the Park by IG/natureswonders_photography and Erich Della Volpe with @gothamwhale .

This is a bad idea. One of the biggest barriers I’ve seen firsthand at @AmericaWorksNY is the cost of transportation for people trying to get back into the workforce. Many struggle just to afford the subway to a job interview or their first paycheck.

Congrats @QnsBPRichards on today’s State of the Borough Address! Thanks for putting me on one of your slides! It’s been 15 months and we’re still waiting for @NYC_DOT to put up any signage about flooding in Bayterrace or on the Cross Island Parkway!

November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month! Thank you to the @QueensChronicle & @QNS for publishing me letter to the editor! NYC & NYS elected officials must do more to fund research, programs and caregivers support for people living with this horrible disease!

According to the @alzassociation …Over 188,000 New York City residents over the age of 65 are living with this disease! That number is 426,000 when you look at the State of New York! #alzheimers

Families are often left struggling with medical care, financial hardship, extreme emotional stress and limited City and State services. The @NYCCouncil @nycgov @NYGov @NYSA_Majority @NYSenDems must do more on Alzheimer’s Disease and Dementia care!

Think about that for a moment…
We live in one of the wealthiest and largest cities in the world, yet our Department of Veterans' Services operates with a budget of less than $8 million.
I believe we can and must do better.

No veteran who served our country should have to live in unacceptable conditions. Our veterans deserve dignity, respect, and access to the services they have earned.

Despite serving a city with approximately 123,000 veterans, New York City's Department of Veterans' Services operates on just $7.7 million annually, making it one of the smallest-funded agencies in city government. This is embarrassing! Our Cities Veterans deserve better 🇺🇸 #NYC

Queens County has the highest estimated number of Veterans. That number is over 35,000 🇺🇸 #VeteransDay
