When I left the State Legislature, New York’s budget was about $140 billion.
Today it’s $269 billion.
Albany can’t keep losing people, growing government, & expect taxpayers to pick up the tab forever.
Only Kathy Hochul would think putting solar farms under 3 feet of snow is a good idea.
She wants to take prime New York farmland, drive up your utility bills, and call it green energy.
Prime farmland is for feeding families, not lining the pockets of foreign corporations.
It's a scam, and I'm fighting back.
As Governor, I'll protect our farmland, cut electric bills in half, and bring common sense back to New York.
I’m truly angry that our Republican Senate majority is incapable &/or unwilling to pass the SAVE America Act.
So, I’m going to turn my anger into organized action.
See you this SATURDAY, Arizona!

.@SenatorDurbin, the reckless policies you support and defend to this day helped put my daughter in the grave.
Policies with no meaningful guardrails to protect innocent citizens from entirely preventable tragedy.
That is the reality my family lives with every single day.
The more I pay attention, the more convinced I become that you are a complete fraud.
Forty years in office and Illinois is weaker, more divided, and less safe for families like mine. How did this state keep sending you back to represent us for decades?
I’ve lived here my entire life, so I suspect I know the answer.
But enough with the performative facial expressions and hollow words.
You are just a political ideologue, that's it, and that's a sad legacy.
Not to mention someone who seems to care nothing about ordinary citizens and the families left behind by the consequences of these policies.
So, please just stop talking.
You’ve done enough harm already. Why can't you just run the clock out quietly.
You cannot rewrite your legacy now with speeches and performative outrage.
Katie should still be here. Bang Up Job Senator!
.@SecScottBessent said it plainly: higher energy prices are largely a red state vs. blue state issue.
Red states are building energy capacity. New York is blocking pipelines, restricting access to affordable energy, & forcing families to pay higher utility bills.
ELECTION SHAMBLES: Newsom says "nothing to do with him."
Where's the pride and ambition? We should do everything BEST in California. Under Democrats we're a laughing stock.
Now they give us Bumbling Becerra. If he was in charge of the Olympics the 100 meters would take 6 days!
Today outside the San Mateo County Registrar of Voters I laid out my Election Count Acceleration Plan to bring this farce to a speedy conclusion.
And as governor I will bring common sense reform:
- No mail-in ballots after Election Day
- Mail-in ballots by request only
- Pre-count ballots as they come in
- Voter ID
Read the full plan below. Change is Coming! ☀️
I will hold the line for however long it takes until the Senate passes the SAVE America Act.
Look at what's happening in California right now.
It takes days to count ballots.
Never forget that House and Senate Democrats want to bring that model nationwide if they gain power back.
We can't let them.
Our republic is on the line.
The Senate must pass the SAVE America Act NOW.
The party that can’t define a woman is now rewriting New York law to erase mothers and fathers.
Only in Albany could “mom” and “dad” become too controversial. 🤡🌎
Our NY electric bills went up again this past June 1st.
Do you know why?
These are Public Service Commission-approved rate hikes that affect NYSEG and RG&E customers. The increase in your bill will be reflected in the delivery charge by the end of the month.
The anticipated increases are as follows:
NYSEG electric: 3.7%
NYSEG gas: 0.5%
RG&E electric: 4.0%
RG&E gas: 1.5%
Our electric bills are unaffordable in this state because New York politicians virtue-signaled their way to a place where they are preparing us for power outages this summer during "peak energy demands."
The delivery charge on your electric bill is being used to court foreign solar and wind developers, through New York State Energy Research and Development Authority, which is sitting on an excess of $2 billion+ dollars. These solar/wind developers need to be promised tens of millions in subsidies and credits if they are going to build in this state, and NYSERDA is sitting on YOUR money to socialize the failed rollout of an intermittent form of energy that hasn't lowered our electric bills or improved our grid.
In fact, since ORES started building its ecological detention centers, our electric bills have dramatically gone UP.
Notice the customers most affected by rate increases are the same customers that live in the highest density of ORES wind and solar facilities.
Commercial solar generates at 15% of its annual potential in Upstate NY, closer to 10-12% out in Western New York. This isn't a fix for our grid and they know it. But it was never about fixing the grid to begin with. It was always about cashing in on the biggest money-laundering scheme that has ever occurred between our state and foreign companies.
You and I are paying for it via our electric bills and through our taxes.
Illinois democrats have long accepted collateral damage when it serves their ideology.
In Illinois, they roared like lions defending reckless sanctuary policies, then became church mice when Katie Abraham's completely preventable death exposed the human cost.
When a story advances the narrative, they demand outrage.
When it exposes the consequences of their own policies, they demand silence.
That's not leadership. That's cowardice.
@GovPritzker say her name. Katie.
@SenatorDurbin please, no more hollow words. You’ve already shown your true colors.
@SenDuckworth Still waiting for a response.
More from inside the Adirondack Park, which is the largest park in the contiguous US.
If you attempted to build something like this in the ADK Park before @KathyHochul and her lapdog DEC Commissioner Amanda Lefton was installed, you’d be arrested or fined.
But now in the name of “saving the climate,” it’s OK to destroy land that’s meant to be Forever Wild.
We need to save the environment from the people “trying to save the environment.”
