The allegations in the Cornell University sexual assault case are nothing short of horrifying. For any student to come forward after an experience like this takes extraordinary courage. No student should ever be left wondering whether the institutions meant to protect them will listen and act.   I support the district attorney’s decision to reopen the criminal investigation. But there are also serious questions about Cornell’s campus culture and its systems for prevention, reporting, and response.    That is why I am calling for outside counsel to conduct a transparent, independent review of the university’s response to determine whether Cornell met every obligation to protect its students and pursue justice.

Bruce Blakeman, Jewish Long Island politician, launches run for NY governor

Two more innocent New Yorkers are dead because of the most pro-criminal Governor in America, Kathy Hochul. Hochul’s parole board released a violent career criminal with 13 arrests back onto our streets. With Hochul’s get-out-of-jail-free card in hand, he went on to kill two people. Kathy Hochul always puts criminals first, but that ends when I’m Governor. Help is on the way!

A 48-hour robbery spree leaves two New Yorkers dead. Now the parolee accused in the killings is back in custody after an FBI-backed manhunt. Police say Jesus Acosta, 31, is connected to deadly shootings at a Brooklyn restaurant and a Bronx deli before authorities track him down Friday morning. Acosta had 13 prior arrests and had been on parole since April after serving 10 years in prison for assault and criminal weapon possession, according to state prison records cited by the New York Post. "We are relieved that this dangerous man is off our streets," United Bodegas of America says, while blasting the justice system over his release. Read more⬇️

In Kathy Hochul's New York, if you commit a crime, she won't just let you out early—she'll give you the keys to the prison. Handing corrections oversight to a convict she personally cut loose is a slap in the face to victims and an absolute betrayal of our corrections officers.

New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, Albany County District Attorney Lee C. Kindlon, New York State Police Superintendent Steven G. James, and Acting Medicaid Inspector General Frank T. Walsh, Jr. today announced that two brothers pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the second degree for using three Medicaid transportation companies to systematically defraud the program out of more than $1.6 million. Jawad Choudhary, 44, and Junaid Choudhary, 45, both of Clifton Park, will pay full restitution.

Jawad and Junaid Choudhary sought to defraud New York’s Medicaid system out of over $1.6 million by billing for non-existent services, inflating charges, and paying kickbacks,

“The defendants in this case were bilking the state and lying about services provided to those who truly rely on Medicaid funding to live a healthy life,” Kindlon said. “I applaud the work of the Office of the New York State Comptroller, the Medicaid Inspector General, New York State Police and our Financial Crimes Bureau, who will always work together tirelessly to detect, investigate, and dismantle these health care fraud schemes that drain critical resources from programs intended for those who need medical care the most.”

The insanity of our elected officials, on full display. On October 15, Mayor @ZohranKMamdani, @SenSchumer, @SenGillibrand, Leader @RepJeffries, nine New York members of Congress including @AOC and Jerry Nadler, and NYC Comptroller @MarkLevineNYC signed a letter urging private garage owners to deny space to federal law enforcement agents. Why? Because on October 8, federal agents tried to arrest Oscar Belgal in Marble Hill: a man with a grand larceny conviction, a pending felony drug-sale charge, and, according to DHS, ties to the Trinitarios gang. This year, federal prosecutors charged the gang's "Bad Boys 7" crew in a carjacking murder on the Cross County Parkway and a Bronx killing. DHS says Belgal was a target of the investigation into last year's shooting of a CBP officer, and @SecMullinDHS says he has "either indirect or direct knowledge" of it. DHS also says he rammed agents' vehicles trying to flee. This wasn't the cook at your local restaurant. How does shielding him make New York safer? Instead of asking why a man with a federal immigration detainer was back on our streets, these officials went after Target because agents parked in a lot it co-owns. This is intimidation, and it puts every business owner in this city in an impossible position. Someone should remind these elected officials that knowingly concealing or shielding someone from federal authorities is a federal crime, punishable by up to five years in prison. How do these people keep getting elected?

.@TomDiNapoli just sent Anthropic, possibly the most transformative company of our generation, a public letter demanding it rewrite its ownership structure before it even goes public. Founder-led structures like this are how Google and Meta were built. They are also why New York's pension fund made fortunes holding those stocks. DiNapoli has been Comptroller for nearly 20 years. Instead of asking how New York can share in the AI economy, he's lecturing its builders and posting about it. That's the problem with Albany. From DiNapoli to @GovKathyHochul , New York keeps sending the AI industry the same message: you're a risk to be managed, not a partner to be recruited. Meanwhile, the jobs, the capital, and the tax base are going elsewhere. I've built 12 companies and taken 5 public. I know how founders think and where they choose to grow. As Comptroller, I'll invest smartly in the companies shaping the next century. I'll hold them accountable through engagement, not press releases.
