Lawsuit Threatened Against LI Rep. Peter King For Blocking Own Constituents On Facebook
A Facebook feud between U.S. Congressman Peter King of Long Island and the ACLU is heating up, with the organization threatening to sue for allegedly blocking constituents on Facebook.

Andrew Cuomo hit back at President Donald Trump, chastising him in a New York Times op-ed.

However, not everyone was pleased about the alert, and three New York plaintiffs have filed a lawsuit in Manhattan against President Donald Trump and FEMA officials. They are claiming that the alert system is a “violation of Americans' First and Fo…

Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s re-election campaign has filed a cease-and-desist letter to television stations trying to have his Republican challenger's new ad pulled from the air, claiming it is “false, misleading and defamatory” because the news article cited does not say that Cuomo himself is being probed as part of the Crystal Run investigation.

Cuomo Goes National In Battle Against NRA
The National Rifle Association, the nation's top pro-gun lobby and one of its most powerful interest groups, said regulatory efforts by Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New Castle could make it “unable to exist as a not-for-profit or pursue its advocacy mission." Cuomo, on Twitter, responded: "If I could have put the @NRA out of business, I would have done it 20 years ago. I'll see you in court." In a July 20 amended complaint, first reported by the New York Law Journal, the NRA accused Cuomo, as well as state Department of Financial Services Superintendent Maria Vullo, of issuing a “ser…
