Live NOW: When Consequence Meets Choice
Peter Vazquez follows one question across three very different stories: what happens when consequence meets choice? Lauren Kee confronts herpes, stigma and healing through Dealbreaker. Hochul and Trump put public money beside the ballot box. Autumn Christensen of Her PLAN examines abortion, coercion and support after birth.

Today, Peter Vazquez follows one standard from Rochesters' culture and privacy fights to business costs, schools, prisons, mental health, immigration, media, socialism, free speech, China and election rules.

Live NOW: Every Promise Has a Price
Peter Vazquez follows the bill from “free” pre-K and election integrity to Title X, student visas and the 1,000-hour barrier to earning a living; from Albany’s $75 billion climate plan and Rochester asthma to sanctuary policy, ICE expansion in Batavia and a father demanding accountability after his daughter was permanently disabled.

Live NOW: The Receipt Is the Reckoning
Peter Vazquez follows the public record from reported changes in voter histories and mail-ballot rules to noncitizen cases, Hochul’s religious outreach, Morelle’s district ledger, Trump Accounts, MAHA, Amish conscience and New York cannabis.

Live NOW: The Bill Comes Due
Peter Vazquez tears through the excuses. Political apologies, Lake America, inflation, taxes, USPS ballot rules, Rochester crime, unpaid fighters, hospital labor, Meta, failing student outcomes, MAHA and cannabis all face the same test: What happened after the promise? Power does not get credit for intentions. It answers for consequences. The standard must survive our own side. Call in, challenge, and participate.

Live NOW: When Power Rewrites the Rules
Power is supposed to have limits. Today, Peter Vazquez follows the fight from “Lake America” and mail ballots to Albany versus elected sheriffs over ICE, SUNY’s civic discourse mandate, and Fort Drum’s nuclear future. When slogans replace evidence and authority escapes accountability, the Vanbōōlzalness Crisis wins. Who writes the rules, and who answers when power crosses the line?

Live NOW: Power Above the Law
Live NOW: Peter Vazquez follows one constitutional fault line from the ballot to the badge. Kim Hermance of Project CIVICA joins the election-integrity discussion on voter rolls, citizenship verification, and government accountability. Then the fight moves to ICE, 287(g), elected sheriffs, Albany versus Washington, and the limits of power. The rule of law means little if every level of government claims its own exception.
