NEW: One of Goyle and Warshaw’s most visible targets is Palantir. But until recently, the tech giant contracted by ICE was also part of the investment portfolios of the two Democratic challengers.

My last story for the @timesunion published today:
I found numerous nonprofits across the U.S. made campaign contributions to candidates, parties and PACs that may violate federal law. Give it a read!

Today is my last day @timesunion. I've been at @Hearst Newspapers for almost 10 years and the TU for the last half dozen, so it's incredibly bittersweet to say goodbye. I've learned so much from all my colleagues and editors. I'm proud of the journalism we did together.

.@GovKathyHochul never saw herself running for office. There weren’t many role models.
She had a law degree and worked on Capitol Hill.
After helping a man more than a decade her senior get elected to town board she decided, no more holding herself back

Syracuse University donated to the campaign of its former rowing coach. An affordable housing nonprofit gave to the re-election of a mayor who was helping it ink a new project deal. These contributions and many more were forbidden by state and fed law

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) presents herself as a “mom from Buffalo.” But she's now a NYC resident — at least for tax purposes — which means her $1.86M income last year would be captured by an income-tax hike sought by Mayor Zohran Mamdani that she opposes.

Are campaign donations support for past actions—or attempts to shape future ones? That question looms over Gov. Kathy Hochul’s push to lower car insurance costs, including major changes to how crash-related lawsuits are handled.

Here's what I found.

Hochul accuses state Democrats of being beholden to trial lawyers opposing her car insurance plan. Lawmakers say she’s influenced by insurers and Uber. The feud escalated Tuesday as both sides denied donations are driving decisions.
