Now that Mamdani has passed his "balanced" budget, he's off to the races with implementing the parts of his socialist agenda over which he has control.
He's been stymied in some things, such as providing free buses, but has the power to do others, such as put more restrictions on the police in order to give free rein to the antisemites who are upping their harassment of Jews.
He's dumping money into his ridiculous city-run grocery stores, which are expensive but entirely symbolic in a city with millions of citizens who struggle to get around due to congestion;
With anti-Israel sentiment rising in virtually every American institution — from academia to Congress to Sesame Street — must Jewish Americans soon start worrying about the medical treatment they’ll receive at doctors’ offices and hospitals across the country? A Jewish doctor in recent testimony to Congress and in an interview with the Jerusalem Post is warning that such a moment may already have arrived.
Dr. Jacob Agronin, a cardiology fellow at Temple University Hospital in Philadelphia, says that antisemitism is pervasive in U.S. healthcare and medical unions. Agronin is one of the 37,000 resident and fellow physicians represented by the
Albert Einstein wrote the following in a letter to his son in the 1950s about American politics: "There’s something amazing about America’s democracy, it’s got a gyroscope, and just when you think it’s going to go off the cliff, it rights itself."
Some 70 years later, we see that gyroscope is once again at work.
As the communists who cosplay as Democrats continue to push "woke" codswallop down the throats of any American still too daft to recognize cultural Marxism, even as a bearded lady showers next to their tween daughter, many Americans living on the West Coast — including those who hopscotch to work through hypodermic needles and human
While Americans spent Memorial Day honoring the fallen, New Jersey Democrats turned an ICE detention facility in Newark into the scene of a political circus. What was billed as a protest outside Delaney Hall quickly spiraled into chaos, complete with screaming activists, clashes with law enforcement, and a sitting U.S. senator getting pepper-sprayed in the middle of the mayhem.
And while the media was using footage of Sen. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) getting his eyes flushed out after being pepper-sprayed to push their preferred narrative, Greg Gutfeld wasn’t buying into the propaganda.
Pundit Bill O’Reilly recently said he was “surprised” that ex-New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo lost to Zohran Mamdani in the 2025 New York City mayoral race.
“I thought,” he told Cuomo during a May 14 discussion, “you were going to wax them [your competitors].”
Do you know when I realized Mamdani would win?
The very first time I saw him on TV.
No, it wasn’t that Mamdani was promising to rob Peter blind to pay Paul and then send both home to rent-frozen apartments on a free bus. It was that I understand the Luciferian Beauty Principle.
Now, you can take the following as metaphor if you’re not a theist. In Christian theology,
Luxury sports car maker Ferrari has unveiled its first fully electric car - the $640,000 (£474,320) Luce.
The new model departs from the look of typical Ferraris as the Italian brand's first ever five-seater, created in collaboration with the LoveFrom agency founded by former Apple design chief Sir Jony Ive.
Responses on social media to the launch ranged from describing it as "straight to the junkyard trash" to an "absolute masterclass in design". On Tuesday, the firm's shares fell more than 8% on the Milan stock market and by over 5% in New York.
Supercar rivals like Lamborghini and Porsche have scaled back on their EV plans due to poor demand
For many years the Soviet Union, and then Russia, financed the environmental movement in the United States. Their purpose was to suppress American production of oil and gas, and they succeeded to a considerable degree, to their own great benefit. Today, we are in the midst of another kind of race with Communist China–the race to develop superior systems of artificial intelligence. The Chinese Communist Party knows that if it wins this race, it will contribute greatly to its dreams of world domination, while if it loses, China, with its rapidly shrinking population, could be on the way to the garbage dump of history. So the stakes are enormous.
President Trump’s surprise endorsement catapulted Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to a landslide victory in Tuesday’s Republican Senate primary runoff election.
As has been the case throughout the 2026 midterm primary season, Trump’s stamp of approval remains critical for GOP candidates in local and statewide elections.
Here are four takeaways from the contests in the Lone Star State.After coming in second place in the preliminary March 3 primary, Paxton was propelled by the president’s endorsement — defeating incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) by a stunning 27-point margin (63.8% to 36.2%) in the runoff.
Spencer Pratt, a candidate for mayor of Los Angeles, is accusing incumbent Karen Bass of violating election law by electioneering within 100 feet of a ballot box.
In a video posted to Bass’ social media, she is seen giving a speech to an audience of supporters and casting her ballot while being cheered on. Pratt responded to Bass’ post on X, stating that his lawyers had filed a formal complaint.
“Karen Bass just violated election law here. She is so accustomed to breaking the law with no accountability, she even filmed herself doing it. Well,

Florida’s Case Against California on
Illegal Alien Drivers replies
When the Supreme Court refused to allow Florida to file a complaint against California and Washington for extending driver’s licenses to illegal aliens who cannot read English signs, Justice Clarence Thomas took his colleagues to task.
“I respectfully dissent from the court’s denial of Florida’s motion because we cannot refuse to hear suits between states,” Thomas wrote in a dissent joined by Justice Samuel Alito.
Thomas recounted the story of Harjinder Singh, an illegal alien who failed a driver’s test 10 times in Washington and once in California, but who obtained a commercial driver’s license from each state. Singh, a native of India who had crossed the Mexican border illegally,
California gubernatorial candidate and former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra's relationship with the Mexican government doesn't run through one nonprofit. It runs through many.
Newly detailed investigative reporting from the Government Accountability Institute tracks Becerra's long-standing, documented relationships with several of the most politically powerful migrant nonprofits in the country, including those with deep, operational ties to the Mexican government.

UnidosUS, formerly the National Council of La Raza and one of the largest Latino advocacy organizations in America, has been a Becerra ally for decades. GAI notes the group was created as a militant liberation movement in the 1960s.

Texas state Sen. Mayes Middleton defeated GOP Rep. Chip Roy Tuesday in a special runoff election for the Republican nomination for Texas attorney general, the Associated Press has projected.
Roy and Middleton advanced to a runoff election in March after neither candidate received the majority of votes. Middleton led Roy in March with 39% of the vote to Roy's 31%.
Middleton advanced to the November general election with 55.7% of the vote compared to Roy's 44.3%. The post is currently held by Ken Paxton, who is forgoing reelection to run for Senate. Middleton will now face Democrat Nathan Johnson later this year.
A House Democrat called his party’s presumptive Maine Senate nominee Graham Platner’s personal history “disqualifying” on Monday, highlighting the difficulties Democrats may face in a race that could determine the balance of power in Washington.
“I think it would be a mistake for the Democratic Party to think that Graham Platner’s brand of the Democratic Party is what wins us durable majorities throughout this country,” said Rep. Jake Auchincloss, D-Mass, the day Platner appeared at a rally alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.Platner is likely to become the Democrat nominee after his main opponent, Gov. Janet Mills, dropped out of the primary,
I’ve said it in pieces on my show for several weeks now: between Memorial Day and July 4.
That is the window.
That is the calendar stretch in 2026 when President Trump needs to land a clear and convincing win on Iran. Not a slogan. Not a “framework.” Not a diplomat’s sentence with nine clauses and no verbs. A win ordinary Americans can understand.Because November is coming.
And politics, unlike cable news, does not wait around for experts to finish explaining why voters should ignore what they feel in their wallets.
After the Ukrainian attack targeting a college dorm that killed 21 students, mostly young women, the Russians vowed ‘strategic’ attacks against decision-making centers in the capital, Kiev.
After Saturday (23), when Mosco unleashed 90 missiles and 600 drones against Kiev, we learned that the attack was just the beginning.
After the Foreign Ministry made a general warning for diplomatic missions to leave the city, and for citizens to avoid Military, Industrial, and Government Sites, we learned today (26) that a more specific warning was transmitted personally to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday handed the Trump administration a win by reversing a lower court ruling against a requirement that immigration judges seek official approval before giving speeches in their official capacities.
The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals last year intervened in light of President Donald Trump's firing of several agency heads responsible for hearing complaints, Reuters reported. The policy stems from the Executive Office for Immigration Review, which oversees roughly 750 immigration judges.
The justices did not rule on the merits of the case, but merely reversed the lower court decision and sent it back for additional proceedings.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has a major problem as she runs for reelection.
She's done a horrible job, including a terrible response to the Palisades Fire, and one of the people who lost his house as a consequence, Spencer Pratt, is now coming for her job. Even in the blue area of Los Angeles, Pratt may just have a chance because people are so tired of the failure, and Pratt has a real talent for presenting a logical and hopeful alternative. He's now largely closed the gap in polling for the jungle primary.

judge in Florida blocked an effort Tuesday to temporarily halt the use of a new Republican-favored House map, just hours after a federal judge blocked a similar effort in Tennessee.
Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed the map into law earlier this month, after the Supreme Court ruled in a Louisiana redistricting case last month that the state's existing congressional map that includes an additional majority-black district violated Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.
On Tuesday, Florida Circuit Court Judge Joshua Hawkes denied a request from several groups to pause the use of the new map designed to help Republicans win several more House seats in the November elections,
Long-time incumbent Texas Democratic Rep. Al Green lost his primary Tuesday to fellow incumbent Democratic Rep. Christian Menefee in a special runoff election that pitted two incumbents against each other for the same seat.
Both men were seeking their party's nomination to represent Texas' 18th congressional district. Menefee, a freshman congressman, will now face Republican candidate Ronald Whitfield in November.
Menefee was only sworn into office earlier this year after winning a special election to replace the late Democratic Rep. Sylvester Turner, who died last year. He defeated Green 68% to 31%.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton on Tuesday evening was projected to win his primary challenge against Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, decisively, marking the ouster of the decades-serving senior lawmaker from the upper chamber.
The Associated Press projected Paxton to win at 9:02 p.m. EST, with 49% of precincts reporting. As of press time, Paxton led with 62.5% to Cornyn's 37.5%.
Cornyn narrowly emerged ahead in the initial round of the primary, but the elimination of Rep. Wesley Hunt, R-Texas, appeared to benefit Paxton. President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton at the last minute, potentially contributing to the victory margin.
Here's the latest • Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will defeat incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the Republican Senate primary runoff, CNN’s Decision Desk projects. Paxton will advance as the GOP nominee to face Democrat James Talarico in November in one of the country’s highest-profile US Senate races. • Paxton secured President Donald Trump’s endorsement just a week out from the runoff election. While Paxton has a strong following in the state’s Republican grassroots, Trump’s endorsement likely helped seal Cornyn’s fate. • There are several other notable races on the ballot that highlight deep divides within the two major parties.
The time for Gavin Newsom honoring himself isn’t over yet.
California’s governor wants taxpayers to spend $33,000 on an official portrait of him, even as Democratic lawmakers fume over Newsom’s “absurd” $20 million proposal to honor the state’s living former governors — an exclusive club of which he’ll soon be a member. Funding for the proposed painting is included in Newsom’s proposed 2026-27 budget under “Governor’s Portrait,” which says the money would pay for the “traditional painting of the Governor’s portrait” to be displayed in the State Capitol alongside portraits of every other California governor.
The $33,000 would come from the state’s General Fund at a time when
Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) appears to be moving toward a possible run for the White House, Axios reported Sunday.
Although she has said she has not made a decision on the matter, Ocasio-Cortez has been on a national tour rallying voters and making endorsements in several races, the outlet said.
The Axios article detailed some of her recent movements and plans:
Addressed the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta with Georgia Sen. Raphael Warnock. (Democrats note that Warnock, the church’s senior pastor, doesn’t always allow visiting politicians to speak at this church. Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg didn’t speak when he visited in March.)
