Two years ago #HurricaneMaria made landfall on Puerto Rico. We cannot forget those we lost because of that catastrophic storm & those who are still struggling to rebuild & recover.

New York will continue to help our fellow Americans. #LaIslaDelEncanto
Climate change has made our weather more extreme & storms more destructive. More than 3,000 were killed by #HurricaneMaria & countless more saw their lives devastated.

We have to do more to combat this crisis. #FridaysForFuture
Dos años atrás, el #HuracánMaría azotó a Puerto Rico. No podemos olvidar a todos los que perdieron la vida en ese catastrófico huracán, y a los muchos que aún luchan por reconstruir y recuperarse.

Nueva York seguirá ayudando a nuestros hermanos boricuas. #LaIslaDelEncanto

Tenemos que hacer más para combatir esta crisis. #ViernesPorElFuturo

I'm suing @HeartbeatIntl and 11 crisis pregnancy centers across New York for illegally advertising and promoting an abortion reversal treatment.
 
Abortions cannot be reversed, and this treatment could be incredibly dangerous.
@HeartbeatIntl is an anti-abortion group that works with crisis pregnancy centers to convince pregnant people to take an "Abortion Pill Reversal" treatment.

They claim the treatment is safe and effective, but there's no scientific proof and medical experts warn that it’s unsafe.
@HeartbeatIntl These groups claim that they can reverse a medication abortion by administering a high level of hormones after someone has taken mifepristone, the first of two pills to get a medication abortion.
  
They advertise and promote this treatment on their websites and social media. The homepage of Abortion Pill Reversal.

Donald Trump illegally profited off his years of financial fraud.

As we close our case, we're asking the court to make Trump pay $370 million in ill-gotten gains.

Everyday Americans can't lie and cheat the system for their own personal profit, and neither can former presidents.
Trump, his sons, and partners have made clear that they will keep committing fraud if given the chance.

We cannot give them that chance. We are asking the court to:
- Permanently ban Trump, Allen Weisselberg, and Jeffrey McConney from doing business in New York.

- Ban Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump from doing business in New York for 5 years.

- Install a monitor to oversee the Trump Organization and prevent future fraud.

#BREAKING: My office secured $328 million from @Uber and @Lyft for cheating its drivers out of years of pay and benefits.

This money will go back to over 100,000 hardworking people who deserve to be paid what they earned.
We found that @Uber and @Lyft took money out of their drivers' paychecks and prevented them from receiving valuable benefits they were entitled to.

They even failed to give their drivers paid sick leave as required by law.
In addition to paying back its drivers, @Uber and @Lyft will:

✅ Ensure drivers get a minimum pay rate, a first for thousands of drivers outside of New York City.

✅ Provide guaranteed paid sick leave. 

✅ Improve overall working conditions for its drivers.

Today, my office and a nationwide coalition of AGs are suing @Meta for harming kids with its platforms and fueling the youth mental health crisis.

We're going to end Meta's behavior and keep our kids safe online. ⤵️
Meta has claimed its platforms are safe for kids, but in reality, it knew its features were harmful.

The company designed its platforms with manipulative features that hook children while collecting data on kids under 13 without parental consent, violating child protection laws.
Its platforms are designed to ensure kids:

- Spend more time on their platforms.

- Compare themselves to their peers.

- And receive constant notifications, making them lose sleep and struggle to pay attention in school.

We're suing four nursing homes run by @CentersHealth and their owners and operators for allegedly pocketing over $83 million in taxpayer money that should have been used for resident care.

Residents were forced to live in horrific conditions at:

- Beth Abraham Center in the Bronx.

- Holliswood Center in Queens.

- Buffalo Center in Erie County.

-Martine Center in Westchester.
They diverted $83 million for their own profit.

Meanwhile, residents were:

-Permanently injured

-Forced to sit in their own urine and feces for hours

-Severely malnourished and dehydrated

-Developing dangerous infections and sepsis from untreated bed sores

Some even died.
