New Yorkers really are tough — to please! Gov.

It’s Ms. Sun goes to Washington. The alleged Chinese spy who infiltrated the New York governor’s office was able to get into the White House — while under federal investigation, The Post has learned. Linda Sun’s tour of the Executive Mansion came just two months before the FBI raided her gaudy $3.5 million Long Island home as they wrapped up their case into her alleged work for Beijing. The May visit was facilitated by Sun’s former boss Queens Rep. Grace Meng (D-NY), the congresswoman’s office confirmed Friday. Sun — a former high-ranking aide for Gov. Kathy Hochul and former Gov....

Many people were shocked when over 1,000 protesters were arrested in the UK and jailed for various offenses including “violent disorder” and stirring up racial hatred. Most shocking were the cases of those arrested for posting social media comments on the riots, despite not being present at the scene and there being no evidence that anybody who joined in the riots had read any of their comments. In societies which uphold the value of individual liberty, the only purpose of the criminal law should be to restrain and punish those who commit acts of aggression against other people or their...

The governor promised to fill the chronically understaffed Board of Parole. Nearly half of her nominations have ended in disaster. Brandon Stradford was nearly two hours late to his first day as a commissioner on New York’s Board of Parole. He said he’d accidentally slept in. It was a rocky start to his first high-level government job, and things only got rockier from there. According to testimony from the board’s chair, Stradford would arrive to meetings and parole hearings late, or not at all, without explanation. When he did show up, he sometimes left for long periods. And when he...

Queens state Assemblyman Ron Kim says groups tied to the Chinese Community Party tried to topple him and steal his predominantly Asian-populated seat in the June Democratic primary. “There were clear patterns of foreign influence trying to dictate the outcome of the election — groups with ties to mainland China and the CCP [Chinese Communist Party]. They were trying to steal the Flushing seat,” Kim told The Post. “It’s a very layered operation. We’re entering dangerous territory. I don’t know how we can stop it,” he said. Kim, a Korean-American, is speaking out after the stunning arrest of Linda Sun,...

Democrat Gov. Phil Murphy's "Energy Master Plan" launched in 2020 has more than doubled New Jersey residents' energy bills. State Sen. Mike Testa (R-Vineland) referred to a complaint from a Parsippany resident whose latest monthly bill was $782, saying "even in the Arizona desert where daily high summer temperatures average 106 degrees, monthly electric bills are typically between $300 and $400 a month," Testa said. "In New Jersey the average daily high summer temperature is 85 degrees. How can our electricity cost over $700 a month? Maybe all the 'green energy' Murphy has mandated isn't worth what it costs." In...

Gov. Kathy Hochul scuttled the congestion toll to enter Midtown because she believes too many people are afraid to take the subway so they drive in instead, ex-Gov. David Paterson said Sunday. “What she told me in a private conversation was she just thought about people who were afraid to ride the subways, so they drive their old car over the bridge, and they have to pay all this money,” Paterson said on 77 WABC radios’s “The Cats Roundtable.” “She was thinking really of individuals who would be affected. “Hochul realized that some of the problems that the antagonists to...
