It's a good time to remember that the great City of New York has over 300,000 municipal employees and 150+ agencies, costing taxpayers in excess of $127B per year.

SHOCKER Kathy Hochul's windmills are delayed. Just like the opening of Terminal 1.
The first power from the Empire Wind wind array off Long Island's South Shore will be delayed "by a few months" into next year because of late-arriving construction support vessels, officials said. nwsdy.li/4f0lTvk

Humanity must not be constrained by throttling from the dullards in the New York State Legislature.
Announcing RAISE 2.0. The risks from dangerous AI models are not hypothetical. They are real and they are happening now. RAISE 2.0 strengthens NY’s nation-leading AI safety laws and force AI developers to pace the frontier if their models are dangerous. Here’s what it does:🧵

Shot to death at 15 while walking to school under the lawlessness that is allowed to persist under Kathy Hochul and socialist mamdani’s allegedly fruitful partnership that just costs you more while they deliver less. There likely won’t be rallies or protests for this lost soul; there’ll barely be visible acknowledgement from our politicians. But most devastatingly, there won’t be change. It doesn’t have to be this way. Change is indeed possible.

David Rosenstein will be hard to miss this Marathon Sunday. He’ll be juggling while running all 26.2 miles. He calls it “joggling.” Rosenstein told @APaolicelli17 that joggling the marathon will be a lighthearted way to draw attention to a serious cause. He is raising money for the Ali Forney Center, which helps homeless and at-risk LGBTQ+ youth, and has already brought in more than $10,000.

Good morning, fellow New Yorkers. Today is Day 66 in the trial of The People of the State of New York v. Kathy Hochul. COUNT LXVI: $637 MILLION IN NO-BID CONTRACTS. QUESTIONS THAT STILL MATTER. During Kathy Hochul's administration, New York awarded approximately: $637 MILLION in emergency COVID-19 testing contracts to Digital Gadgets. The contracts were awarded without competitive bidding. The company's founder and family members were also major contributors to Hochul's political campaign. The administration maintained that campaign contributions played no role in the procurement decisions. But the combination of enormous public contracts, emergency purchasing powers, and political contributions raised serious questions about transparency and oversight. Governor Hochul, please rise and answer: What safeguards ensured that the $637 MILLION in no-bid contracts represented the best value for taxpayers, and what independent review demonstrated that political contributions had no influence on the awards? The People will render their verdict on November 3. #peoplevkathyhochul

Kathy Hochul spent ~$758,904,109.60 of your money today. What did you get in return?

Hey @GovKathyHochul why is this permissible under your leadership and why do you expose your constituents to such added danger as now law enforcement will be forced to conduct the apprehension in public rather than a controlled setting? This is more dangerous for the detainee, the general public, and law enforcement.
SANCTUARY NY RELEASES ILLEGAL ALIEN AFTER ARREST FOR ASSAULTING A POLICE OFFICER! Alpha Bah, an illegal alien released into the U.S. under the Biden administration, was arrested for assaulting a police officer with a deadly weapon. Despite an ICE detainer, NYPD RELEASED Bah without notifying ICE. He had been arrested and released twice before and remains AT LARGE. Bah’s case is far from isolated. Since President Trump took office, the state of New York has failed to honor 16,070 ICE detainers associated with 52,503 criminal charges and convictions. While sanctuary politicians release violent criminals back onto our streets, putting American lives at risk, the patriots of ICE are working around the clock to remove them from our country. foxnews.com/politics/manhunt…

Kathy Hochul is an evil woman. The Democratic Party should forfeit her seat because even if she wins, she will be of great consequence to them. Downward spiral for her. She will not escape God’s wrath. She did not denounce evil when she had the chance.

Kathy Hochul has increased electricity rates 48x. Our KWh rates are among the highest in the nation. Democrats in New York have failed to provide adequate electricity generation capacity for over a decade. To make matters worse, on every electrical bill, Kathy Hochul has mandatory surcharges for windmill cost recovery, electricity welfare, and green new scam items.

It's a good time to remember that the NYPD had to dispatch a Lenco BearCat in a rescue mission to take back a building that was seized by radicals at Columbia University with essential personnel held hostage. Under Kathy Hochul's perversion of a criminal justice system, no one was held accountable for this.

WHY IS KATHY HOCHUL'S SUBWAY DEADLY AND DANGEROUS WITH A METEORIC RISE IN VIOLENT CRIMINALITY AS COMPARED TO 2019? Under the perversion of the criminal justice system that Kathy Hochul allows to persist: *734 individuals arrested for major subway crimes during the first nine months of 2026. *394 (53.6%) had at least three prior arrests. *214 (29.2%) had been arrested three or more times in 2026 alone. It doesn't have to be this way. Change is possible.

Felony assault is the most frequently occurring violent crime. 46.7% of violent felony defendants are released pre-trial in NYC.
New: NY Attorney General @TishJames says her office focuses primarily on civil enforcement- pointing to the 62 district attorneys across NY But with felony assaults on the rise for the 6th straight year, repeat offenders plaguing the subway system - are the DAs doing their jobs?
