🚨🚨Turns out the biggest threat to Medicaid, outside of the rampant fraud and abuse, is blatant theft by Kathy Hochul’s hand picked state approved payment firm. There must be an immediate, impartial investigation. It cannot be swept under the rug.

What New York's climate mandates mean for you? 🚨Answer: Higher energy prices are the direct result of Democrat policies – like the CLCPA, the gas ban, all electric mandates, Electric Vehicle Mandate – that restrict consumer choice, strain the grid and drive up prices.

What?! Providing 18-inch machetes and booze to homeless people all for a internet stunt to be popular is a whole new other low. We need to get a grip on reality and help improve communities and not make them more dangerous.

What’s tragic is that you call yourself a journalist. What’s unnecessary is this post. My continued prayers for the two soldiers and their families and the other soldiers who continue to “clean up�� our nation’s capital.

This is so tragic, so unnecessary, these poor guardsmen should never have been deployed. I live in DC and watched as they had virtually nothing to do but pick up trash. It was for political show and at what a cost.

Sadly, this should come as no surprise - during his tenure as assemblyman, Mamdani supported many anti-police and pro-criminal policies and even screamed in the face of ICE Director Tom Homan. Radical socialist policies will do more harm than good, and do little to keep New

New York's parole laws continue to treat killers better than those they have killed. A 15-year-old babysitter and the toddler she was taking care of were murdered by a monster, who will be given the opportunity to be set free thanks to New York's soft on crime policies championed

The only thing 'deeply troubling' here is that an elected leader is going to go above and beyond to stand up for illegal immigrants and fight law enforcement efforts to make New York a safer place https://www.amny.com/politics/mamdani-nypd-immigration-court-observer-surveillance/

The all-electric mandate supported by Kathy Hochul and New York Dems puts lives at risk. It might be paused ahead of an important election year, but until it is repealed or provisions are in place for exemptions, this legislation remains dangerous for New Yorkers who depend on

The Governor has been all over the place. She's against congestion pricing, then she's for congestion pricing. She's for the electric building act, now she's walking it back. Democrats who have championed the "all electric bill" have exacerbated the energy crisis even more

This is part of a larger effort supported by democrats to have less prisons, less corrections officers and give more power and freedom to criminals. They've proved time and again they do not care about making our communities safer.
