What he is doing is they've described it as flooding the zone.

I have a problem with that characterization, because we labored under a king 250 years ago, and as I said, we're not going back there.

They do not tell us in New York what to do, nor does Washington when it comes to policies that we believe are going to reduce congestion.

As long as there's the faith of New Yorkers that has been undermined by what the Trump administration doing is trying to give the appearance of holding the city hostage.

We're not going to sit idly by and let our rights be attacked.

What they're trying to do is create this theater of all kinds of activity that is trying to be a distraction to us.

I am going by what the perception could be.

Don't think that you can just come in and bully us around and not expect a reaction from governors.

We are not allowing the Trump administration to interfere in the operations of our city.

New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years. We are not – we sure as hell are not going to start now.

we are not allowing the Trump administration to interfere in the operations of our city.

I must be the firewall to stop that.

Tonight, we pray for this community, and especially for the Duarte family, a life cut short, but a life of service and meaning and purpose

We have hundreds of families that have been impacted that are gonna be digging out and mucking out today that have lost so much.

These are our fellow Kentuckians, each one a child of God gone too soon. Please join Britainy and me as we pray for their families.

I’m sad to share the number of those lost to the weather this week has grown to 21, with the most recent a man in Logan County.

Kentucky has suffered one of the worst natural disasters in years, with impacts felt statewide.

While we still have a long road ahead, I am grateful for the progress being made to restore power, open roads and help our neighbors stay safe. We’re in this together.
