Earlier this week,...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is moving forward with her attempt to impeach two members of the Supreme Court: Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. On Wednesday, July 10, the New York congresswoman, 34, formally presented her argument for moving to oust both Justice Alito, 74, and Justice Thomas, 76, introducing articles of impeachment against both.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and a group of House progressives on Wednesday introduced articles of impeachment against conservative Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Why it matters: It's a long-shot element of a broader legislative push by House Democrats to rein in the court after a spate of decisions in June that incensed liberals. Driving the news: The resolutions accuse Thomas and Alito of refusing to recuse from cases in which they had a "personal bias or prejudice concerning a party," as well as "failure to disclose" income, gifts and other financial info. The articles targeting Thomas include...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said Monday she will be filing articles of impeachment against the conservative justices after they ruled on Donald Trump's immunity case. Supreme Court Justices are appointed for life unless they choose to step down or are impeached - and the last and only time a justice was impeached was in 1805. 'The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control,' AOC posted on X. 'Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy.'

Democratic Rep. Jamaal Bowman has become the first member of The Squad to be ousted from Congress after a crushing defeat in his New York primary. Support from fellow progressive Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez couldn't save the fire-alarm-pulling Bowman as his opponent George Latimer, 70, secured a convincing victory on Tuesday night.

Head for the (fire) exit! Westchester County Executive George Latimer sent Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) packing from Congress Tuesday night, easily winning the 16th District’s Democratic primary over the far-left “Squad” member. Latimer, 70, will be heavily favored to defeat Republican Madeline Brame in the Nov. 5 election to represent the deep-blue Bronx and Westchester constituency. Bowman’s four-year House tenure will come to an end following the most expensive congressional primary ever in terms of ad spending – a race which pitted pro-Bowman groups like Justice Democrats and the Working Families Party against an alliance of moderates turned off by...

A Bronx bodega worker was bashed in the head with a “sledgehammer” in a fight over a hookah – leaving her so battered she’s ashamed to let her children see her, she told The Post. Oralia Perez, 41, was working at A&D Deli Grocery on East 188th Street in Fordham Heights around 10:08 a.m. Saturday when a man and woman came in and demanded a refund for a $30 hookah, according to the victim and police. She recognized the couple as the same pair that allegedly stole $40 worth of items from the bodega two days earlier, Perez told The...

VIDEOLeftist meltdowns can be unintentionally hilarious. Such was the case with these two recent meltdowns by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, AOC, and Kasie Hunt of CNN by way of MSNBC. What made AOC so funny was that she was screeching about taking this country back. Um, who has been in charge of the country, especially the Lawfare system, for the past few years. None other than her own CORRUPT Democrat party. Kasie Hunt acted like a Karen Hunt for insisting it is a grave sin to criticize Jake Tapper for daring to point out his more than obvious TDS. In Cable TV...

Desperate Dem Rep. Jamaal Bowman enlisted heavy artillery from his party’s progressive wing for a weekend rally in The Bronx to try to shore up his flailing re-election bid — but viral clips of the event’s cringey on-stage antics show the last-ditch effort badly back-fired. Footage from Saturday’s campaign rally at St. Mary’s Park in Mott Haven showed the severely struggling incumbent and fellow “Squad’ member Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez acting like buffoons from the stage, gifting the Internet with heaps of unintentional humor. AOC kicked things off by stomping around on stage to a blaring Cardi B song, appearing to try...

Red alert! Socialists were eating their own at a rally for Rep. Jamaal Bowman in the Bronx Saturday as even more extreme leftists held a counter-event to rip “sellouts” Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for not backing Palestine enough to their liking. Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez joined 300 comrades at St. Mary’s Park for a “get out and vote” rally in to support “Squad” member Bowman, who is badly behind in polls in his June 25 primary against Westchester County Executive George Latimer, a moderate Democrat. However, outside the park, the anti-Israel group Within Our Lifetime, run by radicals...

We are reaching all-new lows in American politics, but what do you expect with the likes of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who now may be considered one of the senior members of the Squad? She is calling Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal. Are you surprised? Alexandria Occasio-Cortez (AOC), aka Baby Girl, throws one of her little hissy-fits to get attention by calling Benjamin Netanyahu a war criminal. It’s all over social media, and news organizations are writing about it, so she has apparently reached her goal. Benjamin Netanyahu is invited to speak before Congress next month. AOC throws a tantrum.

GAZA — Sources close to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez say that the former American congresswoman has joined the Palestinian Islamic political and military organization commonly known as Hamas. In a statement released to the press, AOC said that she was joining Hamas due to the fact that she sees eye-to-eye with the group, "especially on issues of prime importance, like expanding the Palestinian state and wiping out Israel." "Dear Diary," reads the publicly released part of AOC's statement. "I have decided to join Hamas today because they also hate the nation that claims to be Israel. While I am sad to...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took the rare step on Wednesday night of replying to neo-Nazi troll and former Trump dinner guest Nick Fuentes on X, where Elon Musk has allowed the avowed hatemonger to post again. The exchange began after Ocasio-Cortez posted, “An unspoken secret in Congress is that much of the reflexive, blind, unconditional vote support for nearly any Israeli gov action isn’t from actual agreement. It’s from fear. Reps are terrified of this. Of AIPAC. So they don’t vote their conscience. They vote their fear.”

Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) on Tuesday said they will be introducing legislation in response to the increased ethics concerns related to the Supreme Court. Ocasio-Cortez and Raskin, who serve as the ranking and vice-ranking members, respectively, on the House Oversight Committee, were part of a committee roundtable Tuesday regarding these concerns. They explored various “avenues” for holding Supreme Court justices accountable, they told MSNBC anchor Chris Hayes. “And so, it is not a question…of if Congress has jurisdiction and power over the Supreme Court. It is, what power are we going to exercise in order to...

The “main player” in the Bronx drug mill that posed as a daycare center — and eventually led to a toddler’s death from fentanyl poisoning — has taken a plea deal that will likely put him behind bars for decades, federal prosecutors announced Monday. Felix Herrera Garcia was initially hit with a federal charge of conspiracy to distribute narcotics resulting in death after four kids under the age of three were poisoned by the drugs he and his compatriots were dealing at Divino Niño Daycare in Kingsbridge. One of the kids — 1-year-old Nicholas Feliz Dominici — died last September...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., recently revealed she’s worried former President Trump would throw her in jail if he wins the November election. Ocasio-Cortez spoke with podcast host Kara Swisher for her show, “On with Kara Swisher,” which published the interview Thursday. They touched on the power of technology corporations — including Ocasio-Cortez’s “tangle” with Amazon and tech moguls’ conservative fundraising — Israel, artificial intelligence and the upcoming presidential election. “I mean, it sounds nuts, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy threw me in jail,” she said. “He’s out of his mind. I mean, he did his whole first...

WASHINGTON, DC — Following former President Donald Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts, House Republicans are threatening to deploy the most powerful tool in their arsenal: The Strongliest Worded Letter of All Time. According to political analysts, the ultimatum is a serious escalation of an already shaky political situation and comes after several Strongly Worded Letters and even a few Stronglier Worded Letters. "That's it - we're not gonna take it anymore!" cried Steve Scalise, Republican and House Majority Leader. "We let you Democrats get away with the covid lockdowns, pride month, and hundreds of thousands of baby-murdering abortions a...

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City police said Saturday that they had 34 people in custody following a pro-Palestinian protest at the Brooklyn Museum, which reported damage to some artwork and harassment to security staff by demonstrators. Hundreds of protesters marched to the museum on Friday afternoon, set up tents in the lobby and unfurled a “Free Palestine” banner from the building’s roof before police moved in to make arrests. New York City police officers tackled and punched some protesters during scuffles that broke out in the crowd outside the museum while some demonstrators hurled plastic bottles at officers...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) joined an anti-Israel commentator this week in blaming the Abraham Accords peace deal and the opening of the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem for Hamas’s massive terror attack on Israel on October 7. “AOC” also agreed that Trump’s recognition of Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights — which are not claimed by Palestinians, but were taken from Syria in a defensive war — was also “directly” responsible for October 7.

Lefty New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez started her town hall meeting in the Bronx tonight by mentioning the Trump guilty verdict. “He was found guilty on all 34 counts,” she said to applause. “The rule of law applies to everyone.” She defended the jury and the judge, saying the case did not amount to a partisan prosecution as Trump has claimed, noting that his own lawyers screened the jurors.
