  1. And on homelessness, for that single mom and her kids he’s crying crocodile tears for:

    In a spat w/Bloomberg, Cuomo eliminated state funding for a rental voucher program known as Advantage, that helped people move out of shelter.

    The result: homelessness spiked. www.politico.com/news/2025/06...

    The shelter population spiked 35 percent in less than three years after the end of the Advantage program.

    Spike in homelessness followed Cuomo’s move to cut off voucher funds as governor

  2. It was only after we defeated the IDC that we were able to end vacancy decontrol and strengthen the rent laws in 2019.

    Yes, Cuomo was governor then. But he’s told the landlord lobby that he views it as a mistake:

    www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

    The former governor expressed regret over certain elements of the 2019 package in a meeting with the Real Estate Board of New York.

    Now a mayoral candidate, Cuomo distances himself from rent reforms he signed into law

  3. Cuomo helped form the IDC, a group of rogue Democratic state senators who sided with Republicans year after year to keep loopholes in NY’s rent stabilization laws.

    The result: tens of thousands of rent stabilized units were eliminated.

    Andrew Cuomo has always been careful to maintain a plausible-looking deniability when it comes to his role in keeping his own party out of power in the State Senate.

    Another Cuomo noninterference story falls apart

  4. True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing.

    Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter.

    Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵 x.com/andrewcuomo/...
