Gov. Kathy Hochul urged President Trump’s administration on Monday to release $400 million in federal funds that the state can use to help 1. 5 million New Yorkers heat their homes through the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP). Hochul and upstate Rep. Paul Tonko are making the demand after the federal government reopened last week following a 43-day shutdown, the longest in U. S. history. The state had not been able to start the program due to the shutdown, according to Hochul’s office.

SNAP benefits to expire as judges order White House to fund program
Federal food assistance programs, such as SNAP benefits, are set to expire this Saturday as lawmakers remain at odds over government funding. The potential lapse has raised concerns about how millions of Americans will continue to access vital nutritional support.
Despite the impending expiration, some judges have ordered the Trump administration to continue funding the program. These court rulings aim to ensure that beneficiaries do not face immediate disruptions while the political impasse persists.
As discussions continue in Congress, the future of food assistance programs remains uncertain, highlighting the critical need for a resolution to support vulnerable populations across the country.

Michael Savage Takes on the NYC Mayoral Race with the Commie Islamist
Michael Savage recently explained on his Newsmax show why he supports Andrew Cuomo in the upcoming New York City mayoral race. While Andrew Cuomo has many faults—and we have shown him no mercy here at the Sentinel—he was effective when it came to managing the New York state budget.
In contrast, Curtis Sliwa has never held a position where he managed anything, including a budget, nor has he made any meaningful contributions to the political dialogue. Sliwa reportedly lives in a rent-free basement apartment with 16 cats.
The other alternative in the race is a wealthy former rapper who has never succeeded in any job. This candidate is described as an Islamist communist with connections to at least one suspected terrorist.
Watch this brief clip of Michael Savage explaining his position.
Savage also reflects on the role of the media, quoting several notable figures:
“Think of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play.” — Joseph Goebbels
“Ought we not to ask the media to agree among themselves a voluntary code of conduct, under which they would not say or show anything which could assist the terrorists’ morale or their cause while the hijack lasted.” — Margaret Thatcher
“Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.” — Jim Morrison
“Where the press is free and every man able to read, all is safe.” — Thomas Jefferson
These insights highlight the powerful influence the media holds over public perception and the importance of responsible journalism in today’s political landscape.

MP News: ‘Congress’ Hurry May Be Harmful For OBC Category,’ Says CM Mohan Yadav
**Supreme Court to Hear OBC Reservation Case from October 8**
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the OBC reservation case starting October 8. Originally set for a Wednesday hearing, the date was further extended.
The Congress party has accused the government of not presenting the case properly before the apex court. In response, Chief Minister Mohan Yadav advised the party against rushing the process. He emphasized that any haste could be detrimental to the interests of the OBC community and noted that an all-party meeting had been convened to ensure unity.
“Only unity before the court will be helpful,” Yadav said. He added that the case to restore 13% reservation in held posts was pleaded collectively by all parties. Highlighting the complexity of the matter, Yadav mentioned that over 15,000 documents have been filed in connection with the case. The government has informed the Supreme Court that it should consider the views of all parties whenever it hears the matter.
“Our aim is to benefit each category—SC, ST, and OBC—under the reservation policy,” Yadav stated.
**Government Advocates Accused of Being Unprepared**
Reacting to Chief Minister Yadav’s remarks, Madhya Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) president Jitu Patwari said, “If the party does not react, the government will do nothing.”
Patwari recalled that when his government granted 27% reservation to the OBC, the BJP’s proxy team challenged the move in court. He noted that this legal battle has been ongoing for six years.
At a recent meeting, it was decided that government lawyers would first argue to restore 13% of the reserved posts. However, instead of taking this step, the government sought to postpone the hearing by four months, prompting a reprimand from the court, Patwari said.
According to him, the government does not appear willing to grant the OBC quota, which is the root cause of the delay and inaction.

This case remains a focal point in the state’s politics as stakeholders await a resolution that balances reservation benefits across communities.
