Hochul said during a press conference at MTA headquarters in Lower Manhattan on Oct. 9 that she will not tolerate the slash in funding. The shocking actions of Washington Republicans to slash these funds and defund the police put New York City at risk, the governor said. We will not tolerate these cuts; New York will take every action available to us, including the courts, to ensure the MTA gets this critical funding to keep millions of riders safe.

Harris, forced to confront Israel's war in Gaza on the first night of her book tour, expressed compassion for the Palestinians and condemned President Donald Trump for giving the Israeli government "a blank check." "What's happening to the Palestinian people is outrageous and it beaks my heart," she told a packed New York City performance center on Wednesday night after being interrupted by the first of four pro-Palestinian protesters. "Donald Trump has given (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu a blank check to do whatever he wants."

Blue-state governors seem to be responding to President Trump's anti-crime campaign with Marxist tactics. Not the communist, Karl, that is, but the comedian Brothers. In "Duck Soup," Chico Marx famously deceives a wealthy widow by asking "Who are you gonna believe, me or your own eyes?" It's an apt metaphor for Governor Kathy Hochul of New York when she poses as a defender of law and order.

The point raised by Andrew Cuomo emphasizes that rent-controlled apartments should ideally support those who are truly in need of affordable housing, rather than benefiting individuals with substantial incomes.

Mamdani attracted support from a broad swath of New Yorkers by running a campaign relentlessly focused on working-class cost-of-living concerns.

New York is a state of stark contrasts, characterized by both immense wealth and high levels of wealth inequality, alongside diversity and segregation.

The comments from Senator Ted Cruz followed the posting of a photo of Governor Kathy Hochul at the funeral of Officer Didarul Islam, with Cruz questioning her headscarf.

Hochul warned that federal cuts to Medicaid would push New York's health system to the brink of collapse, especially if a MAGA Republican becomes governor.

Existing rent-stabilized apartments in New York represent the cheapest solution to the housing crisis, with rents being a fraction of new building costs.

I'm running again because I think the current Assembly member is not doing the job. Right now, with everything that's going in D.C. with all the chaos, I think people in the district deserve someone who is actually going to be there to help navigate what's going on, and also make their lives a little more affordable and a little better.

Adams criticized Cuomo's past campaign strategy, referencing his inability to actively engage voters, stating, 'New York is a competitive place. They want to see you.'

"Senate Republicans moved one step closer to ripping health care away from millions of Americans to pay for massive tax breaks for billionaires," Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement.

Mamdani's volunteer army, inspired to work for their candidate, evokes the strengths of the historical Tammany Hall, a paradigm of grassroots mobilization in New York.

The horse they're going to back is Eric Adams," grocery store billionaire Jon Catsimatidis stated, indicating a strategic move by business leaders to unify support against Mamdani.
