There is a sensitivity that has evolved that is real. It has to be respected.

I won’t kiss a person on the cheek unless they initiate a kiss.

The American people know that they're in charge — Republican president, Republican Senate, Republican House — that they have a responsibility to govern, which means sit down and talk with us so we can address these needs.

We've been trying for months and months to sit down with them and have a serious conversation addressing America's healthcare needs, and they've refused and refused and refused.

Look, Johnson’s not serious about this. He sent all his congressmen home last week and home this week.

Well, look, there's a lot of difference between now and then.

New Yorkers deserve a mayor who stands on principle – not one who hides behind excuses.

The American people deserve better than lies, than attacks, than deep-fake videos and the president spending all of his time on the golf course.

Zohran Mamdani has shown one quality time and again: duplicity.

It's a Republican shutdown because they've refused to talk with us.

You know, they don't want to, Johnson doesn't want to discuss the real issue, the health care crisis facing the American people.

Unfortunately, the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress have made Long Island drivers the latest victims in their never-ending campaign to make our air dirtier, and our traffic worse.

Mamdani now claims he didn’t know who she was. That is laughable.

Donald Trump is in the presidential witness protection program.

And as we’ve learned, if he’s smiling, he’s lying.

The American people are hearing what's happening, and they are demanding that we address this crisis.

This is about people being able to insure their children.

Because what I’m not going to do is tolerate 4 million uninsured Americans because Donald Trump decided one day he wants to make sure kids are dying because they don’t have access to insurance.
