Absolutely no excuse for the disgusting behavior by thugs and thieves in Rochester today. Tell me how this advances any sympathy for the cause protesters claim to be supporting.

A further example of how ridiculous some of you are about the use of the term thug, here's Pres. Obama standing by his use of the term to describe rioters in Baltimore in 2015. He saw it as descriptive of bad behavior. He was right then and I am now. https://t.co/Fc1dgAvOiH

Using the National Guard to confiscate life saving vents from upstate for use in NYC is outrageous. Seizing from a private entity using force is something out of a totalitarian regime not a republic. We're better than this https://t.co/eyGdMBHqUS https://t.co/eyGdMBHqUS

I'm hearing the #polystyrene ban is still alive in budget talks. Why in the world would we do that ? We are dealing with a pandemic and 1000's of restaurants are on life support with take out meals ( packed in styrofoam containers) as their lifeblood. This can wait #priorities

It's a full house at the rally at the Capitol to repeal and replace bail reform. Proud to stand alongside law enforcement & demand changes that will protect our communities https://t.co/uqAlwMZnCg

Illegal immigrants should not have gotten driver's licenses in the first place. Now New Yorkers who travel for work or pleasure will have to suffer. This is outrageous. Gov will try to blame the Feds but the fault lies with him and his legislative allies https://t.co/rwnklAxv6y

The Governor in his daily briefing just compared taking upstate ventilators to give them to NYC to borrowing a garden hose from your neighbor. Yesterday he compared it to borrowing a drill. Seriously, I'm not joking. A life saving vent is not a garden hose or a drill.

Watching Gov's budget address question how can you be fiscally sound and provide the highest level of funding for everything under the sun with a $6.1 billion deficit? Must be common core math
