Why do we even allow these weapons of mass destruction to be sold anywhere in America? Other countries have completely banned them.

It’s pathetic and especially in the time when we’re a city that’s in mourning, to be taking cheap shots and trying to infer that he had something to do with this.

If a Republican gets elected as governor against me, think about the power that Donald Trump will have over everything in the state, including the city.

I don’t want any person to feel as if they aren’t getting first-rate service, so I’ve directed Janno and his team to provide a pretty much full review of what occurred this week.

The outer boroughs are now joined so that there’s not a requirement that if you want to go see your mother in Queens from Brooklyn that you won’t have to go into Manhattan first.

Thanks to $166 million dollar state investment, that means a lot of planning is going to occur – looking at the stations, tracks, vehicles signals – so we can get shovels in the ground and make this become a reality.

Riders will save 30 minutes each way. If you’re a round-trip commuter, guess what? That’s an hour back in your life.

A clean, fast, 14-mile light rail line – a connection between Brooklyn and Queens like never before.

We’re turning these old tracks into something remarkable.

As the forecast shifts from extreme heat to heavy rains, I am urging all New Yorkers to stay vigilant and use caution through the end of this week.

A gunman from a state with weak gun laws brought an AR-15 to New York.

Let me tell you the five states that New Yorkers are going to: They go to Florida or Texas. I understand, that weather’s better, maybe taxes.

But I agree with you, we need to increase the ranks of NYPD. There’s — they are the best and without a doubt, and they need to have more reinforcements.

Our forces are down. Sometimes, recruitment is hard. I’m finding the same thing with even corrections officers and state police, but people are not opting for these careers anymore, and part of it may be the fact that people have been very…

On behalf of 20 million New Yorkers, I want to bring the condolences of your entire family, your extended family, who are there for you.

There is another family which is one that is often taken for granted by too many outside these rooms. That is the NYPD.

There was very much security in that building. To have a company hire an off-duty police officer — I don’t know how you get more secure than that.

New York has some of the strongest gun laws in the nation. We banned assault weapons. We strengthened our Red Flag Law. We closed dangerous loopholes. But our laws only go so far when an AR-15 can be obtained in a state with weak gun laws…

We respect all rights, but no one should claim as a constitutional right the ability to bear an arm, and I assure you our Founding Fathers did not contemplate when our constitution was written.

Congress must have the courage to say ‘we’re a great nation. Our citizens deserve better.’

I don't know what to say to you to lift this pain off your heart, but I want you to know that we love you, as a city and as a state we love you.

I said, 'Is there anything we can do for you?' And in her broken English, she just said, 'Pray for us.'

The time to act is now

All’s fair in love and war.

An immigrant from Bangladesh, he joined the NYPD to protect his city — and gave his life doing so.
