Big fan of facts and follow-up questions 🎙️@NewhouseSU + @MaxwellSU ‘26 🍊Pronounced Radel like “cradle” #BillsMafia @CitrusTVNews Political Anchor / @WKTV 📺
BREAKING: I asked @SpeakerJohnson if he’ll try to repeal the CHIPS Act if Trump wins and they have control of Congress. “I expect that we probably will.” @RepWilliams responds: “I will remind him night and day how important the CHIPS Act is.” #NY22 @CitrusTVNews 🚨
On May 28, then-Oneida County Attorney Amanda Cortese-Kolasz filed a 7-page memo in the Kaitlyn Conley case. In it, she cites the “Matter of New York City Police Department v. District Attorney of Kings County.” That case doesn’t exist. @WKTV Last week, Cortese-Kolasz resigned.
My first time anchoring our flagship Live at Five Newshour on @WKTV! Our chief meteorologist @BillKardas carried me through it. 😉

Remarkable moment between Trump and Powell.
WATCH: A timeline on @lawler4ny’s decision not to run statewide. A Trump admin source tells me the President told Lawler in a private meeting last week to seek re-election in #NY17 and let @EliseStefanik run for governor unopposed. But can she beat @KathyHochul next year? @WKTV
Leavitt gets mad at Kaitlin Collins for asking if Gabbard is releasing this stuff to boost her shaky standing with Trump
John Mannion: I support reporters! His office: …unless they ask us questions we don’t like! #NY22


.@lawler4ny confirms @nytimes story he won’t run for Gov & running for re-election. .@EliseStefanik says she’ll decide about her own run after Nov. election, adds: “Republicans are more unified than ever in our mission to fire the Worst Governor in America Kathy Hochul in 2026.“
Only on @WKTV: 5 feet of floodwater filled the basement at Oneida High School, fried its electrical system, and forced the district to close the building for the entire 2025-26 school year. Today, a month after the storm, I toured the school with 2 students affected.
In a written statement to @WKTV, @JohnMannionNY22 answers the question from @DaveAllenShow on what spending cuts he would support to lower the national debt. #NY22
On the radio, @DaveAllenShow asks @JohnMannionNY22 which spending cuts he’d support to lower the debt. I challenge you to find his answer to that (very good) question! “I support that we should find areas, uh, where we should find those words of ‘abuse’ and ‘waste.’” #NY22 🧐

SCOOP: Republican @salka_john plans to officially launch his campaign against @MannionforNY on Thursday, August 21 at 11 AM from Harbor Point in Utica. He previously worked for @RepWilliams and served in the NYS Assembly. #NY22


A big spark to my interest in the news industry was Stephen Colbert. Since junior high my morning tradition has been to watch his monologue from the night before, as well as all of the extended interviews on YouTube. It’s devastating to hear that the show is being cancelled…
I’m gutted. Watching LSSC inspired me to start my own YouTube channel where I talked about the news and politics. I was lucky enough to see the show live twice from the beautiful Ed Sullivan theater. The first time I went, I was battling stage 4 cancer. A producer arranged for me…
Here's how Stephen Colbert addresses the news of The Late Show's cancellation in tonight's cold open. (Full story: latenighter.com/news/cbs-cance…)
