Corruption often happens in the open.

Governor Kathy Hochul showed us exactly who she answers to — it’s not you.

FIRST: Kathy Hochul cashed the checks. She benefited from high-dollar fundraisers with Big Tech lobbyists and Super PACs that have pledged hundreds of millions to buy influence in the 2026 elections.

THEN: She returned the favor. She took the RAISE Act, passed by our legislature to protect your safety from unchecked AI, and completely gutted it. She crossed out the safety measures and substituted them with language written by the very same Big Tech lobbyists who funded her campaign.

NOW: We fight back. Before the year ends, we need your help. To take on the ultra-wealthy who think they should control our government, we’ll need thousands of donations. 

Hochul allowed the bill to linger on her desk so she could extract as much as possible from both sides. She has repeatedly prioritized a quick paycheck over the well-being of New Yorkers. 

The Governor should not be using a red pen to turn public safety laws into corporate wish lists.

Antonio Delgado will answer to you, not OpenAI or the ultra-wealthy.

To take on a machine this well-funded, we need thousands of individual donations before the year ends.

So we’re respectfully asking you to chip in $5 or whatever you can. If even 10% of readers did that, we’d be in a great position to start the new year. So please, don’t look away from the corruption. Help us end it. We’re counting on you.

Gratefully,
Team Delgado
