The governor called on the State Senate to codify Roe v. Wade as soon as possible to prevent the possibility of a “gap” in protections for a woman’s right to choose. “Either you come back and do that or you are anti-choice,” said Cuomo.
The cunning and adaptable coyote was deified by the Native Americans and persecuted by the U.S. government. But as other predators were killed off, the coyote thrived, mating with wolves and producing a hybrid that now roams the fields and forests of the Northeast- including the Hudson Valley.

After over a year of campaigning, the 2018 Democratic Primary for the 19th Congressional District is over. Time to sift through the ashes.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said yesterday that over 70 migrant kids are being held in New York State after being separated from their families, with one child being housed at a facility in Kingston. Congressman John Faso is supporting legislation that would address the issue along with other immigration-related provisions, including funding for a border wall and addressing the legal status of “Dreamers.”
The New York Times says Gareth Rhodes is the best candidate to take on and beat John Faso and this Friday’s This American Life will feature candidate Jeff Beals talking “frankly on the record … about all the stuff going on behind the scenes.”
Do you think the system is rigged in favor of corporations and the rich and against everyone else? That fundraising success in a candidate is a signal that they’ll be on the side of the big money and against the little guy when it counts, no matter what they tell you? That we need a sharp-elbowed fighter openly antagonistic to Wall Street, corporate America and members of his own party willing to play ball with those forces? That Democrats are losing not because they aren’t appealing to moderates but because they aren’t supporting bold and sweeping proposals that directly address the problems of the 99 percent? Then Jeff Beals just may be your guy.
Gareth Rhodes recently completed his Winnebago trip to all 163 towns in the NY-19. The Ulster County native and former Cuomo aide shares many positions with his competitors for the Democratic nomination. What makes Rhodes different is he spends just as much time talking about local issues that don’t map neatly on to the left vs. right divide, including the lack of a maternity ward in three counties in this district, dealing with falling numbers of volunteer EMTs and firemen and fixing sidewalks damaged by snow plows.
The once radical idea of nationalizing the health-insurance industry and providing taxpayer funded health-care with no out-of-pocket expense at the point of contact has been embraced by the majority of House Democrats- and a majority of the candidates for New York’s 19th Congressional District.
The primary to determine Republican Congressman John Faso’s Democratic challenger in New York’s 19th Congressional District will be held Tuesday, June 26. In New York State, only enrolled party members may vote in primaries. The deadline to register or change party is Friday, June 1.
