6. In fact on his federal disclosure statement, he doesn't disclose any income from LinkBridge. Just $750,000 in 2022 from "Devolder Organization." That is a Florida LLC that he started in May 2021.

That corporate registration lapsed but was reinstated on December 20, 2022 — the day after the NYT ran its exposé.

"New York's anti-gerrymandering rules, written into our Constitution, have profoundly influenced this election in New York. And I'm grateful in a non-trolly way. Ohio did a version of this, and I hope more states do too. More competitive races, and moderated candidates."

Please encourage all your friends to vote for Kathy Hochul for gov. I mean how is it even possible she is in a race this close?

"New York schools have decided that children are little disease vectors and so keep them in their seats and apart from each other. No circle time for the kids for their own good. No movement in class at all, lest they spread the one and only virus we care about. No indoor play. [...] The COVID-mitigation strategies that have a stranglehold on blue areas are not working and have never worked. Yet officials continue them to the detriment of kids."

@whiskeysailor Aren't conservatives mostly pleased to see Gov. Cuomo in trouble? I can find right-wing media just glad to see he's being punished for what he did, e.g. https://www.nationalreview.com/corner/andrew-cuomo-was-institutionalized-sexism/

AOC calls for "full investigation" into Cuomo's handling of COVID-19 in nursing homes

Cuomo has dismissed any assertion of wrongdoing. New York State Assemblyman Ron Kim (D) claimed this week that Cuomo threatened to "destroy" him over comments he made about the widening scandal.

The FBI and U.S. attorney's office in Brooklyn are reportedly investigating the administration's handling of nursing homes.

The tide has turned against NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo

The fallout is connected to an executive order Cuomo issued in March, when hospitals were directed to release coronavirus-positive patients back to their nursing homes.

Lawmakers from Cuomo's own party are trying to remove emergency powers he was granted in the early days of the pandemic, The New York Times reported.

Cuomo has been dismissive of the criticism lobbied against him.
