One of President Donald Trump's foes, New York Democratic Gov. Kathy Hochul, poked fun at the president, who was seen falling asleep in the Oval Office this week — using the moment to suggest a potential design for his $250 bill with his face on it.

Hochul's press office shared an image on X of Trump with his eyes closed on a mockup, following reports that Trump supporters have been pushing to put his face on a banknote ahead of the nation's 250th birthday.

New York lawmakers want the Trump administration to know they're not scared as they doubled down on restrictions for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), according to a new report.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) accused Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) of grandstanding during a House Oversight and Government Reform Committee hearing on sanctuary policies for undocumented migrants.

During the contentious line of questioning Thursday, an aggressive Stefanik berated Hochul for "prioritizing far-left sanctuary policies" over advocating for victims of violent crimes at the hands of undocumented migrants.

Stefanik listed off "high-profile cases" involving migrants in the country illegally, and she detailed their alleged crimes that included child rape and murder....

Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is purging the weak links in her New York district now that her bid to become UN ambassador has fallen apart, according to reporting in the Times Union.

President Donald Trump chose up-and-comer Stefanik to become ambassador to the United Nations after his election win in November, causing disarray in the lawmaker's district as officials scrambled to find her replacement.

The district’s Republican county committee chairs eventually settled on two-time congressional candidate Liz Joy as a competitive candidate for their nomination....
