Hochul Raises Alarm on Costs of Climate Law as Skeptics Call Foul A controversial new state memo citing rising costs for NYC households in the coming years has raised concerns the governor is trying to roll back environmental mandates.

One of the problems with @governor.ny.gov is that she's the one who has been governor failing to deliver the promised renewable energy that would have brought down the cost of electricity. Tax the rich, fund solar subsidies, and get that offshore wind spinning.

Will I regret buying the generic brand of trash bags over the name brand trash bags? We'll see if all the trash ends up spilled on the floor.

It’s really baffling to me the mistakes autocorrect inserts into my text while its siblings are out there predicting whole essays that trick a few people into thinking a human wrote it.

Hochul scrambles to save health program insuring 1.7M people in NY Losing the Essential Plan after federal cuts would be a "freaking nightmare."

The centrist playbook is to allow as much harm as necessary to avoid taxing the rich. That includes people like @governor.ny.gov who wants to cut health insurance from 1.7m New Yorkers instead of taxing the wealthiest.
