Santos Lashes Out At Former NY Republican Congressional Colleagues
Former New York Rep. George Santos appears to be out for revenge following his historic expulsion from Congress. Within hours of being voted out of the US House on Friday, Dec. 1, the disgraced Santos began unleashing a series of social media posts targeting his former Republican colleagues.

Safe Boxes Should Be Added At Town Halls In Westchester For Mail-In Voting, Supervisor Says
The writer, Paul Feiner, is Greenburgh's town supervisor.

Our postal service is not very reliable - many letters are lost, sent to the wrong address. Inasmuch as we can't count on the Postal Service to send ballots to the right address in t…
