New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani ignited a wave of controversy Thursday night after pointedly refusing to endorse Governor Kathy Hochul during a televised debate, despite her having endorsed him only weeks earlier. When moderators asked the candidates on stage – which included Mamdani, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, and Republican contender Curtis Sliwa – to raise their hands if they supported Hochul, Mamdani kept his down. “It’s a decision that should be made af

New York Attorney General Letitia James, already under federal indictment, is facing fresh scrutiny for providing housing to multiple family members with criminal records at her Virginia properties - homes that themselves have been flagged in federal investigations. Court records show that James’ 21-year-old grand-niece, Cayla Thompson-Hairston, an OnlyFans model with an explicit online presence, was charged in April 2024 for lying about her criminal record while attempting t

Mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani, a self-identified socialist, is suddenly offering glowing words for Governor Kathy Hochul despite previously branding her a failure. The shift has sparked criticism that Mamdani’s newfound praise is less about conviction and more about politics. This week, the Queens assemblyman praised Hochul’s record on affordability, a position far removed from his blistering remarks just two years earlier. “I think Governor Hochul has been successful i

New York Attorney General Letitia James – who is currently under federal indictment – celebrated what she called another “victory” after a judge allowed the state’s ammunition background check law to remain in place. The Concealed Carry Improvement Act, passed in July 2022 under Governor Kathy Hochul, requires background checks for New Yorkers purchasing ammunition.

Nearly 200 soldiers from the New York National Guard have been deployed to the U.S.-Mexico border this week as part of the federal government’s latest push to clamp down on illegal crossings. The troops will be stationed in the Laredo Sector of Texas, which spans 136 miles along the Rio Grande – one of the nation’s busiest corridors for unlawful entry. In an October 15th release, the Guard confirmed that its soldiers will provide “maintenance, transportation and engineer supp

New York Attorney General Letitia James – already under federal indictment – is now facing new scrutiny following news that her grandniece, a wanted fugitive in North Carolina, has been living in her Virginia home for years. According to a Daily Mail investigation, James’ grandniece, Nakia Thompson, has resided rent-free with her three children at the Attorney General’s Norfolk property since 2020. Court documents obtained by the outlet confirm that Thompson has been classifi

New York Attorney General Letitia James made her first public appearance since being federally indicted and was met with cheers and a standing ovation at a campaign rally for Democratic mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani in Manhattan. The rally, held Monday night at the United Palace Theater in Washington Heights, drew thousands of supporters who loudly embraced James despite the Justice Department’s charges against her. James is facing one count of bank fraud and one count of ma

Governor Kathy Hochul is doubling down on her defense of Zohran Mamdani amid threats from President Donald Trump to strip federal funding if Mamdani – a self-described democratic socialist – becomes New York City’s next mayor. But insiders say her shifting stance and past critiques of Mamdani reveal deeper political unease. Tuesday, speaking alongside Mamdani in Queens, Hochul pledged to “fight like hell” to prevent funding cuts to the state. She warned that punishing New Yor

New York’s driver’s license policies are once again under fire after the arrest of an immigrant truck driver whose state-issued CDL listed “No Name Given” in place of a first name. The controversy erupted when Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt announced that Anmol, an Indian national detained in a federal raid, carried the unusual New York credential. Stitt wasted no time blasting Albany. “If New York wants to hand out CDLs to illegal immigrants with ‘No Name Given,’ that’s on th
