This is the same Mike Lawler who caved to Trump the minute he asked to rip away New Yorkers’ health care. Of course he doesn’t have the spine to face me.
Breaking News: Representative Mike Lawler, Republican of New York, plans to seek re-election next year rather than run for governor. nyti.ms/3IFT8aa
Trump’s tariffs are jacking up prices on New York families. They’re hurting tourism. They’re draining customers from New York’s restaurants and small businesses. Sellout Stefanik supports them anyway. She fights for Donald Trump, not your family. news10.com/news/ny-news/c…
Hochul on redistricting: "All's fair in love and war. We are following the rules. We do redistricting every 10 years, but if there are other states that are violating the rules and trying to give themselves an advantage, all I say is I'll look at it closely with Hakeem Jeffries."
Trump's War on Christmas.
This holiday season, US parents may have to make an extra pit stop — not for toys, but for the batteries that power them, as manufacturers pare down on frills and packaging to cut costs amid rising tariffs reut.rs/4f600ty
Gov. @KathyHochul on with @Acosta: Republicans in Congress are cowardly. They could have stood up and protected health care and SNAP. I went to up to Elise Stefanik's district for a standing room only town hall of angry farmers and health care workers who are getting screwed.
Kids deserve freedom from distractions to learn and grow. @GovKathyHochul is delivering.
Starting this fall: Smartphones in the classroom → out. Focus, growth, and real connection → in.
Despite working hard, many New Yorkers feel like they can’t get ahead. I hear them. That's why I'm focused on increasing wages, decreasing rent, building more housing, and putting money back in people's pockets. I'll continue working with anyone to make life more affordable.
It’s more than just numbers on a spreadsheet. Real people will suffer. And they don't care.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on GOP's "Big Beautiful Bill" impacts on the state: "The human toll of this is beyond unconscionable.”
The cuts in Trump’s Big Ugly Bill are not just numbers on a page — they are a cruel attack on New York’s working families. My Cabinet and I are working around the clock to confront its devastating impact on our state. Join me live: governor.ny.gov
Full statement from @GovKathyHochul on Texas AG Ken Paxton targeting a New York doctor for prescribing abortion medication:
Good. New York will always protect providers and their patients from the draconian anti-abortion laws like the ones in Texas. We won’t be bullied into submission. timesunion.com/hudsonvalley/n…
Trump’s trade war is already hurting New Yorkers — killing jobs, raising prices, and squeezing small businesses. New Yorkers deserve to know exactly how it’s affecting them.
Grandbaby #2 is here! Holding tiny Nina reminds me of our fight to help all families get ahead.
300,000 New Yorkers Could Lose Food-Stamp Benefits After Trump’s Cuts "The fallout is expected to be wide-ranging, experts said, affecting businesses from urban bodegas to rural farm stands that rely on customers who use SNAP." nytimes.com/2025/07/11/nyr…
Governor Hochul on the seven New York Republicans who voted for the bill: “They wrote it. They endorsed it. Now they’re cheering it on, selling out the very people they were sent to Washington to represent.”
With a stroke of his pen, President Trump just took away health care from 17 million Americans and put food assistance in jeopardy for millions more. 1.5 million New Yorkers will lose their health insurance. Every single one of New York’s GOP Members of Congress voted for it.
Today I’m reflecting on the values we hold dear as New Yorkers and as Americans. On this day in 1776, our founders set out on a path toward liberty and justice for all. A reminder for all of us today: America has no king.
Today’s vote makes it official: New York’s Republican members of Congress voted to gamble with their constituents’ lives to pay for billionaire tax breaks. They had two chances to stand up to Donald Trump and fight for the people they serve. They failed both times.
With the final passage of Trump's megabill, - 1.5 million New Yorkers will lose their healthcare - Nearly 3 million are at risk of losing SNAP - New York loses billions in clean energy investments All 7 NY Republicans in Congress voted yes. Full statement from @GovKathyHochul:
