I’ve never seen this much outrage over a NY issue like the congestion scam tax—it shows how tone-deaf politicians are. NYers, save this energy for citywide & council elections. Except for a few, none deserve your vote. In 2026, vote Tyrant Hochul & the lunatics in Albany out!

Unbelievable timing: just hours after a woman was senselessly burned alive, and two people were stabbed, one fatally. Kathy Hochul’s incompetence is costing lives—she needs to leave public office immediately before more New Yorkers suffer.
In March, I took action to make our subways safer for the millions of people who take the trains each day. Since deploying the @NationalGuardNY to support @NYPDnews and @MTA safety efforts and adding cameras to all subway cars, crime is going down, and ridership is going up.

This is a major victory for election integrity and the rule of law. The Constitution is clear: noncitizens do not have the right to vote, and this reckless scheme undermined the value of American citizenship. Ydanis Rodriguez and Mayor Adams wasted taxpayer dollars defending an.
New: The Court of Appeals, New York's highest state court, has affirmed a ruling that struck down New York City's noncitizen voting law. Voting is limited to citizens, the court ruled.

The murder of Saikou Koma could have been avoided had the judicial system worked in favor of the public, instead of career criminals. It is time that our judges begin throwing the book at violent recidivists, especially those who have multiple arrests for gun crimes. (1/2).

Am I the only one who thinks this was overkill? The massive police parade for this guy almost made him look like a hero. Felt like a scene from Con Air or a comic book movie.

Sounds like many from the outer boroughs, counties, and even states agree: when congestion pricing hits, there will be no reason to go into Manhattan. The congestion tax can't be good for businesses in the CBD. But when have NY elected officials ever paid attention, or cared?
