Susan Sarandon, Mark Ruffalo and a parade of progressive icons were everywhere, lecturing the world on justice. Now that courageous Iranians are risking their lives in the streets, confronting a brutal regime, where are these moral megaphones? Where are the hashtags, the celebrity rallies and the tear-jerking op-eds? The silence is deafening.

By setting clear standards for discipline and ensuring that patients know where to turn with concerns, this legislation would take meaningful steps to protect the public. Its reforms would help reaffirm the expectation that every New Yorker can rely on their doctor to provide safe, ethical and compassionate care.

Social connection isn’t a luxury — it is essential for maintaining physical health, cognitive function, emotional well-being and overall quality of life.

At the end of the day, filling potholes is about more than asphalt. It’s about a philosophy of governance that values efficiency over excuses and action over delay.

My personal standards of ethics bind me to a representation of you that delivers your message to state leaders and my Assembly and Senate colleagues. At times this can be a challenge, especially when regional differences and values clash. When this occurs, it is important that your elected representatives in Albany be in the key places where the voices of the 21st District can be heard.

There are no people more loyal to the cause of winning sports in New York than Yankees and Mets followers. We pack the teams’ parks throughout the season, pay ridiculous sums of money for tickets, food and souvenirs, and in the end, the Mets’ Steve Cohen and the Steinbrenners, who own the Yankees, treat us like, yup, chopped liver.

Dolan has been a gift to New York. Fortunately, he has chosen to remain here, and take up residency in a Manhattan parish. I wish him the best of health, happiness and peace, and congratulations on a job well done. An era has passed.

The path forward is clear. We must expand access to high-quality CTE programs, invest in modern facilities and equipment, forge stronger partnerships between education and industry, and fundamentally change how we talk about career pathways. Success isn’t defined solely by a bachelor’s degree — it’s measured by meaningful work, financial stability and the opportunity to contribute to society.
