Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani denounced India Prime Minister Narendra Modi a “war criminal” — and is now being ripped by other city leaders for spreading “hate” about the Hindu head of state. On the heels of making similarly provocative comments about Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Mamdani blasted Modi during a recent mayoral forum. “This is someone we should view in the same manner we do Benjamin Netenyahu. This is a war criminal,” Mamdani said when asked a hypothetical question about whether he would meet Modi if the Indian leader visited the Big Apple. Mamdani, who...

In an interview with Fox News Digital, progressive "Squad" leader Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., blamed President Donald Trump for the ongoing immigration riots in Los Angeles, saying he is "creating this chaos" and that the Trump administration "owns this." She said Trump and Homeland Security advisor Stephen Miller are taking calculated steps to sow chaos and stoke unrest throughout the country. "It's his decisions, his aggression. His ability to intentionally stoke this, that is the problem," Ocasio-Cortez told Fox News Digital

Zohran Mamdani, the young democratic socialist who has been rising in the mayor’s race, is now ahead of Andrew Cuomo with just two weeks until the Democratic primary, a new poll reviewed in full by POLITICO found. The survey, conducted by Public Policy Polling for Democrat Justin Brannan’s city comptroller campaign, found Mamdani beating Cuomo 35 percent to 31 percent — a difference that is narrowly within the 4.1 percent margin of error. Cuomo has been the constant frontrunner since his March 1 entrance into the race to oust Mayor Eric Adams, with most publicly released polls showing him with...

"The girls are fighting, aren't they?" SNIP She went on to explain, "You know, I would say that this was something that was a long time coming.

I think this breakup we've been seeing a long time coming, we'll see the impacts of it legislatively."

Former Republican New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu detailed Democratic Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar’s track record of antisemitism during a “CNN NewsNight” panel Monday night. Pro-Hamas demonstrations erupted at multiple universities and colleges since the Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Hamas that killed over 1,200 people in Israel, seeing protesters occupy buildings, chant a slogan that has connotations of wiping out Israel and block Jewish students from parts of campus.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York were “joining in.” ... “You guys are...

Antisemitism is on the rise here at home, and we have a moral responsibility to confront and stop it everywhere it exists," she posted.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined pro-abortion activists outside the Supreme Court Friday to protest the historic overturning of Roe v. Wade by the nation’s highest court. Ocasio-Cortez can be seen chanting the word “illegitimate” in reference to the decision alongside activists, according to video footage shared by TPUSA contributor Drew Hernandez. The New York Democrat was also seen shouting “into the streets,” in an apparent call for Americans to partake in public demonstrations against the ruling.

This week, Rasmussen's Mark Mitchell announced that "for the first time in the 29-year history of our asking Americans whether the country is on the right track 50% of voters said yes. This level of optimism wasn't achieved during the Clinton, Bush, Obama, or Biden administrations nor the first Trump term. Only last November 63% said the country was on the wrong track. Clearly something has changed the minds of Americans." "Perhaps it was how President Trump so quickly sealed a border that President Biden said couldn't be done without Congressional action," Mitchell speculated. "Our country had to put up...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), a potential Democrat presidential primary candidate, is again calling for the abolishment of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), which enforces the nation’s immigration laws. Ocasio-Cortez won her congressional race in 2018 partly on a platform that promised to dismantle and ultimately abolish ICE, even suggesting that illegal aliens deserve a “right of passage” into the United States. Ocasio-Cortez eventually dropped the “Abolish ICE” talking point from her stump speech after polls found that even a majority of Democrats did not want the federal agency to be wiped out. In a new campaign email, just as...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tried to scold Republicans on Wednesday regarding their part in President Donald Trump’s “Big, Beautiful Bill.” During her speech on the House floor, Ocasio-Cortez claimed 13.7 million Americans would lose their healthcare as a result of the bill, according to video footage on the United States House of Representatives website. She then alleged Republicans would try everything to distract from that number: Republicans have put this bill together, rushed it together in a matter of hours on the back of a napkin, shaking it walking out of the White House and brought it right here to...

America is at a crossroads: Will we cave to the radical left’s vision for our nation, where men win trophies in women’s sports and our border is wide open for illegal aliens, or do we stand with President Trump in his mission to Make America Great Again through America First policies? I know where I stand, and I’m running for Senate to fight for the future of our nation where taxpayers, not criminals and foreign governments, are put first. The stench of the Biden-Harris administration’s lawlessness and economic devastation still lingers in the air today. President Trump inherited a mess...

AOC benefits from financial disclosure 'loophole' by remaining unmarried to fiancé, watchdog says.. Look closely and you'll see: Something is missing from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D., N.Y.) ring finger. Ocasio-Cortez hasn’t been pictured wearing her engagement ring since November 2023, according to an extensive Washington Free Beacon review of Getty and Associated Press images, as well as the lawmaker’s social media posts and public appearances. The ring’s 17-month absence, which has gone unnoticed in the press until now, raises questions about the status of her betrothal to her low-profile fiancé, web developer Riley Roberts, who proposed to Ocasio-Cortez during a...

Among Democrats on Capitol Hill, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer wields far more power than New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. But the progressive champions have the hearts of Democratic voters across the country. About three-quarters of Democrats have a “somewhat” or “very” favorable view of Sanders, while about half have a favorable view of Ocasio-Cortez, according to a recent survey from the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. Compare them with Schumer, an establishment Democrat, who is viewed favorably by only about a third of Democrats. Nearly the entire difference in favorability ratings between Sanders...

What these neighborhoods really need is a “Squad” car. Major crime rose by an eye-popping 70% in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s Bronx and Queens district since the ‘defund the police’ socialist lawmaker took office in 2019 — more than double the citywide increase of 30% over that same span, a Post analysis of NYPD data shows. The 110th Precinct in Queens, which covers part of the infamous “Market of Sweethearts” human-trafficking and prostitution mecca on Roosevelt Avenue, saw a 105% surge, the highest increase of any NYC precinct in that period.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said this week that she has not gotten a response from the Department of Justice (DOJ) on the potential investigation into her over a migrant webinar she held in February. “I asked them; they haven’t responded to me, but, you know, once again, I’m fully using the First Amendment to inform people of their constitutional rights. They say a lot of things, but I’ve written a formal letter, and they won’t respond,” Ocasio-Cortez told Fox News Digital on Tuesday. She set the deadline for the DOJ to respond by March 5. The New York Democrat said...

Though a federal grand jury has indicted Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan for obstructing the apprehension and arrest of illegal immigrant Eduardo Flores-Ruiz by federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel she says she is "confident I will beat the rap because the US Supreme Court has just ruled that judges have a universal right to block the enforcement of laws they don't like." "Trump thinks his election to the presidency is a mandate from the people to enforce the nation's immigration laws," Dugan said. "But I don't. Presidents come and go and are term limited. Judges are...
