Democratic governor of New York since 2021, responsible for the state's budget, tax policy, and regulatory oversight.
No evidence-backed relationships are recorded.
New York Attorney General Letitia James now oversees the Cornell fraternity rape case in which a district attorney filed no charges in 2024. The review now turns on what police passed to prosecutors, a question Gov. Kathy Hochul has asked in public.
Reality
California's Gavin Newsom and New York's Kathy Hochul are exploring an AI kill switch as 39 governor races go to voters on November 3. Positions on AI cross party lines, so operators siting capacity face rules likely to differ state by state.
Reality
Justice Wayne Ozzi ordered New York City to cancel pied-a-terre tax notices sent to about 17,000 owners and back each second-home finding with records. The surcharge itself survives the ruling, and the city is counting on at least $500 million a year from it.

New York City has to pull back its pied-a-terre tax notices, a judge ruled Tuesday, one day after Wilbur Ross and Steve Wynn sued over $266,626 in bills. Nonresident owners now wait on reissued bills while courts test whether the surcharge is a property tax that the state constitution caps.
Reality
Polymarket launched opt-in deposit limits, self-exclusion and mental-health referrals on September 30, six days after New York sued it over sports contracts. The tools come alongside its federal-court claim that commodity law overrides the state's gambling statutes.
Reality
Bill Gates told NBC that AI safeguards must be legally required, as Goldman Sachs forecasts more than $1 trillion of AI investment in 2026. Who pays the overhead he describes turns on whether rules cover only frontier labs, as Anthropic's chief wants, or reach smaller firms through states first.
Reality
New York Attorney General Letitia James sued Polymarket as an unlicensed gambling business, the state's fourth such case, and Polymarket countersued within hours. Platforms are now setting age limits and state-by-state access while courts decide whether states or the CFTC govern prediction markets.

More than 40 million people in the US Northeast are bracing for an unusually strong nor'easter, with gusts over 60 mph and up to 13 cm of rain forecast. Airlines and event organisers have already changed plans. Warnings about damaged power lines mean operators should plan for outages this weekend.
Reality
New York sued Polymarket U.S. on Thursday for triple its gains plus $100,000 per sports-wager offer, following actions against Kalshi, Coinbase and Gemini. The state's gambling test fits the event contract itself, so one ruling could reset what investors pay for every operator New York has pursued.

Executive Order 2026-05 tells the state environmental regulator to withhold data center permits until developers sign binding cost commitments and win local approval.

The largest US district bars generative AI for teaching through eighth grade and companion chatbots for every student, which leaves five metered high school pilots covering 5% of enrollment as the only way in.

Data Center Watch counts 843 organized opposition groups and nearly four dozen stalled projects in three months. California's seven new statutes make grid, water and clean energy commitments a condition of approval.
Reality
Gavin Newsom signed seven bills on Monday that end blanket environmental exemptions and push grid upgrade costs onto operators, in a quarter when US developers saw 45 projects worth an estimated $68 billion blocked or delayed.
Reality
The Supreme Court will not hear Genalo v. Black. Both men at its center are out of detention, one by leaving the country and one by pardon, and the question of indefinite detention stays unanswered.
Reality
No state bans data centres, and New York's freeze, triggered at 1 MW of peak demand, is the only statewide one in force. Of the 15 states with named moratorium bills, six are already dead and two of the live ones end on someone else's timetable.
Reality
A bipartisan bill that could reach the House floor this week would let states make data centers above 100 megawatts fund their own grid, and each state would decide whether to use that authority.
Reality
Philadelphia has named two candidate data center sites, one of them in the Grays Ferry neighborhood that lived next to the East Coast's largest oil refinery, and residents there are already at City Hall asking for a moratorium.
Reality
Outside money in Alex Bores' House primary topped $40 million, and the largest disclosed sum, Anthropic's $20 million, funded a PAC in his corner. He lost anyway, and his new nonprofit starts with $10 million.
Reality
Nothing in the 27 August order binds a private mapping app, so Apple's US-only label was a product decision rather than a compliance one, and the competitor that refused to make it is now the top free app in both countries.

COPPA and FERPA gave the teachers' unions nothing. A clause inside a Microsoft contract gives them something different: a termination right and damages. The unions are now waiting on OpenAI and Anthropic to match it.
