Standing on a corner of Lexington Avenue, Lewis passed out Cuomo palm cards to passersby. An elderly Hispanic man in a MAGA cap asked to take some cards with him to The Bronx. Lewis bade him goodbye: “Vote for Cuomo — and make America great again!”
“At the end of the day, he will be a good mayor,” Lewis said of Cuomo.
She is part of his best shot at winning: Turning out conservative independents and Republicans, without alienating liberals and Democrats.
The former governor is walking a tightrope when it comes to Trump — persuading voters he can stand up to the president while courting those who ardently support him.

“Malicious prosecution.” “Constitutional crisis.” That’s how some of the city’s top officials described the indictment of Attorney General Letitia James yesterday by a Trump-appointed federal prosecutor.
When Cuomo was governor, he pushed then-Mayor Bill de Blasio to speed the shutdown of jails on Rikers Island. Now, he’s got a very different idea — to scrap the closure entirely — and jail advocates are slamming him for the about-face.
How Should I Pay? Keep These Tips In Mind to Avoid Scams
Credit cards, debit cards, cash, checks, wires or sending money to others using a P2P (person-to-person) payment app are examples of the many ways consumers can pay for everyday transactions. To help protect their money from scammers, it’s important for people to understand that how they pay matters, especially when buying something from someone they don’t know or trust. Here are examples of common scams impacting payment types:
Checks: Never make checks out to “cash.” Use permanent ink, and write the amount in numbers and words. Don’t leave a check book unattended and always send a check directly from the post office or through secured mailboxes; don’t leave them for pickup in your mailbox at home. When possible, opt for electronic payment methods instead of checks.
P2P: If you are purchasing goods or merchandise, including things like concert tickets, a credit or debit card that offers purchase protection may be a better option. If at any time you feel pressured, the deal seems too good to be true, or you otherwise suspect it’s a scam, don’t proceed with the purchase.
Credit and debit cards: Two-factor authentication can help block anyone who gets your banking information from using it, and setting up credit monitoring helps you know if your card is used fraudulently. If you misplace it or think it is lost or stolen, contact your bank immediately, and lock your card from additional charges.
Wire transfers: Never provide your bank account details to unfamiliar or suspicious individuals and avoid wiring money to people or businesses you are unfamiliar with, especially if prompted by suspicious phone calls or emails.
A Trump administration lawsuit against New York City challenging its sanctuary laws — which bar local city agencies from coordinating on immigration enforcement — is on hold while the government shutdown drags on.
That’s because Department of Justice attorneys “are prohibited from working, even on a voluntary basis” said Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate to a federal judge on Oct. 1, asking for the case to be put on hold.
The judge agreed Thursday, tabling the case until two days after the federal government reopens, whenever it happens. The shutdown is headed into its second week with no end in sight.
The Trump administration sued New York City in July, one of several legal attempts made by the federal government to upend sanctuary protections in Democrat-lead cities across the country.

Speeding Up Contract Cash
The City Council on Wednesday passed a slate of bills designed to get nonprofits city money faster after well-documented delays that have crippled some organizations.
One bill would require some nonprofits with city contracts to immediately receive half the value of the agreement as soon as it’s registered with the city comptroller’s office, excluding some emergency contracts and those where advance payment conflicts with state or federal law.
Another bill will codify into the city charter the existing mayor’s office for contract services and give it more responsibilities. All human services-related city agencies will now be required to submit annual reports on contract registration to find the source of delays and find improvements.
THE CITY has previously reported on long delays in paying vital nonprofits, forcing some to consider layoffs and take on debt to stay afloat.
