The allegations against @NYGovCuomo must be taken seriously. I support my colleagues @SenatorRitchie , @Sueserino4ny , @SenatorHelming , @NYSenatorJordan , and Senator Weik’s calls for a thorough independent investigation. Read their letter here:

New Yorkers are paying the highest taxes in the nation, but our state Government prioritizes them last behind illegal immigrants and criminals. New York deserves a Government that puts law-abiding citizens and their safety FIRST. #StateOfTheState @nysenategop

It's been nearly 100 days since October 7th, 2023, a horrific day for our brothers and sisters in #Israel . We recoiled from the gruesome images of Hamas atrocities, and we grieved for the lives who became the targets of hate. The @nysenategop is proud to #StandWithIsrael .🇮🇱

Radical environmental policies are taking us in the wrong direction. They are not based in reality and the infrastructure simply does not exist. How quickly the Governor forgets that gas power saved lives during recent historic storms and power loss.

"Decades away from meeting goals... It’s simply burning billions, slamming consumers, and undermining reliable energy capacity in pursuit of a fantasy."💯 The politicians who control Albany are destroying our economy and affordability by chasing nonsense.

New York needs to pull the plug on its suicidal green energy goals...

New York is spending billions and jacking up energy prices to try and meet nonsensical climate goals; it needs to stop NOW before any more taxpayers feel the pain.

If this bill is signed it will kill local elections forever. Imagine running for village board where candidate spending is in the hundreds and competing for media and voter attention with federal campaigns spending millions of dollars. It’s a lose/lose.

Blue state effort to uproot election law could forever change local races: expert

A bill that would move local New York elections to even-numbered years could upend local elections as candidates compete for attention against high-profile elections, lawyer says.

CNN is stunned because the mainstream media continues to carry water for NYDems destroying our state. We have said this for months if not years now. Radical pro-criminal policies put in place by Dems in Albany and NYC are HELPING criminals and illegal immigrants rip us off.

In what world does a company feel the need to apologize for serving food to federal law enforcement officers who work in dangerous conditions? Pathetic pandering. The men and women who work to enforce our immigration laws and protect us deserve better.

NY’s new concealed carry laws criminalize law-abiding citizens and their right to self defense. I hope the court system in NY sees these new laws for what they are, a mockery of the US Supreme Court’s ruling, & strikes down this nonsensical legislation.

This is a tremendous loss for Upstate New York. Another casualty of #OnePartyRule and their suffocating policies that are killing businesses. They leave and take their revenue and jobs to other states. It is happening all over New York.
