ActBlue, a Democrat Party donor collection app that touted itself as being “small doner based,” has been exposed as the tip of a DNC NGO scheme designed to launder ill-gotten government monies into “legitimate” donations.
Former Democratic New York governor Andrew Cuomo announced Saturday the launch of his bid to become the next mayor of New York City.
Cuomo, who resigned from office in 2021 after being accused of sexually harassing more than a dozen women — including some of his staff members — began considering entering the mayoral race a week prior to the announcement, CBS News reported. He joins the race involving several opponents including the incumbent mayor, Eric Adams, who was indicted on federal corruption charges Sept. 26, 2024.
The Trump administration’s Department of Justice dropped bribery charges levied against Adams on Feb. 10, 2025. In addition to a leadership crisis involving top Adams administration officials, the city faces issues such as high rent, crime and providing migrants with resources.
Cuomo called the city “out of control” in his 17-minute announcement posted online.
“We know that today our New York City is in trouble. You feel it when you walk down the street and try not to make eye contact with a mentally ill homeless person or when the anxiety rises up in your chest as you’re walking down into the subway. You see it in the empty storefronts, the graffiti, the grime, the migrant influx, the random violence,” he said. “The city just feels threatening, out of control and in crisis.”
