• ​Why did the state budget grow by another $8 billion?
• ​How will the major leadership shakeups coming next year to Albany impact the power structure?
• ​A redistricting proposal could be decided by voters—can it pass?
• ​Does Governor Hochul put her signature on New York's controversial data center moratorium?
• ​And in Washington, Republicans unite behind new ICE and Border Patrol funding. What does it say about President Trump's grip on Congress?
