Law enforcement in New York City says they have arrested 517 people either in Tren de Aragua or co-conspirators that work with the gang. Members of the now-infamous Tren de Aragua gang and its associates have been arrested over 500 so far this year in New York City, according to news reports. “If you go back two years – that’s about when we think they first started arriving – we’ve made 45% more arrests than we did two years ago,” a law enforcement source told the New York Post. “This is a gang that conspires to make money off of...

Democrats were confronted earlier this year with a terrifying reality: a cap on out-of-pocket costs for patients to limit Medicare drug spending passed as part of Biden’s signature Inflation Reduction Act was set to spike premiums for millions of senior citizens just weeks before the 2024 presidential election. To avoid the political catastrophe of presiding over major premium increases in the middle of a closely contested election, the Biden-Harris administration used its authority to reroute appropriated funding to subsidize the premiums for seniors until after the election. The administration’s $5 billion budget gimmick kicked the proverbial can down the road,...

This was awkward. Kamala Harris’s husband Doug Emhoff hit the campaign trail in Atlanta, Georgia with Tim Walz on Sunday. Of course, it was really a Harris/Walz rally. The crowd showed up to see Bon Jovi. Sunday’s campaign event in Atlanta was another concert disguised as a Kamala Harris rally.

Vice President Kamala Harris warned on Sunday that Americans may experience a repeat of the 2020 election wherein the winner was not decided the same night the polls closed. In a post on X, Kamala Harris said that while she expects to win on Tuesday, she warned that it “will take time to count every vote.” “The margins are going to be close, but our campaign is on track to win this election. Americans all across the country are casting their votes in record numbers, ready to turn the page,” the vice president said. “It will take time to count...

Former President Barack Obama resorted to the debunked “very fine people” hoax as he delivered a closing argument on behalf of Vice President Kamala Harris in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Trump did not “sit down for pleasantries with Holocaust deniers”; he invited Kanye West to Mar-a-Lago before West had fully outed himself as a raving antisemite. West then brought Nick Fuentes along, whom Trump did not know. But that was not the worst falsehood Obama told. The “white supremacist rally” in Charlottesville, Virginia, to which Obama referred was actually a rally for — and against — the preservation of a Confederate statute...

Vice President Kamala Harris refused to say whether or not she would vote for California’s Proposition 36 because “it’s the Sunday before the election.” Harris’s refusal to articulate a position on the measure underscores her strategy to not irritate the radical left while trying to remain ambiguous to attract moderates. California’s Proposition 36 would give drug traffickers and serial shoplifters tougher penalties. “How did you vote on Prop 36?” a reporter in Detroit asked Harris. “So, I have — my ballot is on its way to California and I’m gonna trust the system that it will arrive there and I...

He said that Kennedy was “going to work on health and women’s health,” and two sources close to the Trump campaign have told NBC News that he might play a prominent role in battling “chronic childhood disease.” On Friday, Kennedy tweeted that on its first day in office, a Trump administration would push to ban fluoride in water, claiming it is “industrial waste” that leads to problems like cancer and other diseases. “Well, I haven’t talked to him about it yet, but it sounds okay to me,” Trump said Sunday when asked about that plan. “You know, it’s possible.” Major...

Harris has lost two points of support from the Oct. 1 Leger poll for The Post, which showed her leading the 45th president 51% to 47%.

A man is accused of beating up a stranger who was wearing a Trump 2024 hat on Friday in Bath, New York. The Village of Bath Police Department officers were called to a fight at the Tops Friendly Markets on West Morris Street around 10:00 a.m., the agency said in a press release: It was determined that Robert Yott, 60, of Bath, initiated a confrontation with a stranger inside Tops, after becoming aggressive over the fact that the stranger was wearing a Trump 2024 hat.

Former President Trump invited the members of the Roanoke College women’s swim team who stood up against the radical left after a transgender athlete tried to join their team on the stage at his rally in Salem, Virginia, on Saturday. Before bringing the swimmers on stage, Trump reminded the audience of the team’s “brave” stand in defending their rights as female athletes after a trans athlete tried to join their team. “Last year, the radical left’s gender insanity arrived right here in Salem when a man was allowed to transfer onto the Roanoke College’s women’s swim team,” Trump said. “I...

Democrats are readying a rapid-fire response to flood social media and the airwaves with calls for calm and patience with vote-counting should Donald Trump try to prematurely claim election victory, as he did in 2020, Harris campaign and party officials told Reuters. The Republican candidate told reporters this week that he hoped to be able to declare victory on Election Day, although election experts have cautioned that it could take several days for the final result to be known, especially if there are demands for vote recounts in some key areas. Trump is locked in a razor-thin race with Democratic...

California motorists buy and consume a billion gallons of gasoline each month and are very sensitive about pump prices, which are markedly higher than those in other states. Naturally, they are a political football. Gov. Gavin Newsom has repeatedly characterized refiners as price gougers, even though most of the differences are caused by taxes, fees and regulatory mandates. Recently, he persuaded the Legislature to pass a watered-down version of his proposal requiring refiners to maintain higher reserves to avoid price spikes. However the gasoline situation is far more complicated than Newsom’s approach, and California may be facing a period of...

Shocking footage played in court showed the moment first responders said that Jordan Neely still had a pulse after former marine Daniel Penny put the troubled homeless man in a chokehold on a Manhattan subway last year.

Gov. Kathy Hochul on Saturday called New Yorkers who vote for Republican House candidates “anti-American” and “anti-women” — a smear that sparked furor across the Empire State and beyond. “If you’re voting for these Republicans in New York, you are voting for someone who supports Donald Trump and you’re anti-women, you’re anti-abortion, and basically, you’re anti-American,” Hochul said on MSNBC. “You just trashed American values and what our country is all about — over and over.”

PITTSBURGH — Vice President Kamala Harris' rally in Pittsburgh has announced its new location for Monday night.

Former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) claimed Sunday on MSNBC’s “Inside” that former President Donald Trump’s words were “violence against women.” Host Jen Psaki said, “We saw violent language and it was not an anomaly as you know and everyone watching. He had a violent language when he was discussing Liz Cheney this week and would not be such a war hawk if she had guns in her face. His campaign double down on the language. I raise this, because he seems to know what he’s doing and we have seen this before. Do you think that he...

A federal judge appointed by Barack Obama ruled that Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes must release records pertaining to over 1.2 million “inactive” voters on Arizona’s voter rolls. The decision comes amid concerns that Arizona’s voter rolls may contain numerous inactive or ineligible registrations, that would impact the accuracy of the state’s voter database. Judge Logan served 26 years in the Marine Corps and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal while stationed in Iraq. Barack Obama nominated Judge Logan to a seat on the United States District Court for the District of Arizona in 2013. On Saturday, Judge Steven...

With just two days until the presidential election, fresh polling shows six of the seven battleground states so close they are within the margin of error — with the only one showing a clear leader being Arizona, where former President Donald Trump is up by four points. Trump captured a 49% to 45% advantage in the Grand Canyon State, while two others show him tying with Vice President Kamala Harris — with each getting 48% in Pennsylvania and 47% in Michigan, according to the final batch of swing state polling from the New York Times and Siena College. Harris eked...
