Rob Ortt, Minority Leader in the New York State Senate and a decorated veteran, used his social media platform to highlight concerns about alleged corruption and advocate for policy changes in New York. Ortt’s posts from April 6 and 7, 2026, addressed issues ranging from government accountability to economic migration.
On April 6, Ortt posted: ” CORRUPTION ALERT – Abuse Bombshells:
@NYPost: Lt. Gov pick Adrienne Adams funneled taxpayer $$$ to migrant shelter tied to fed probe
BILLIONS lost in Medicaid/CDPAP fraud
Fake billing, kickbacks, ghost patients
Federal investigations piling up https://t.co/2ZDnfXmw0p“.
The following day, he outlined the priorities of Senate Republicans: “Families are fed up. Small businesses are getting crushed by one-party rule. Senate Republicans are fighting back. Our agenda:
• Cut taxes, reduce spending
• Support police
• Lower utility rates
• Lock up criminals
• Deport illegal immigrants
Take back NY. Save our state.” (April 7).
Later on April 7, Ortt commented on population shifts between states: “The Governor ordered New Yorkers to leave for Florida.
They listened and left. Here’s the deal: they’re NOT coming back. Why would they?
The Sunshine State offers lower taxes, safer streets, freedom, and a strong business climate.
Florida won. Albany Democrats drove them out. https://t.co/ButRXlwEVC“.
