A popular bookstore in Brooklyn essentially axed a planned book launch event at the last minute due to the moderator’s views on Israel — with an employee telling the author that they “did not want a Zionist on [their] stage,” The Post has learned. Joshua Leifer was just a few hours from taking the stage at Powerhouse Arena in Dumbo Tuesday to discuss his new book with Rabbi Andy Bachman when he learned that the venue was taking issue with Bachman’s pro-Israel politics. “[They said they] would not be willing to host a conversation between me and Andy because they...

A group called "Muslim Women for Harris-Walz" is disbanding after the Uncommitted National Movement said it was told a Palestinian American speaker couldn't address the Democratic National Convention.... "We cannot in good conscience, continue Muslim Women for Harris-Walz, in light of this new information from the Uncommitted movement, that VP Harris' team declined their request to have a Palestinian American speaker take the stage at the DNC," the group said in a statement posted on Instagram. The group said the family of an Israeli hostage "has shown more empathy towards Palestinian Americans and Palestinians, than our candidate or the DNC...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) called on the Democratic National Convention (DNC) to stop the “dehumanization of Palestinians” by refusing to let them speak on stage.

Brace yourselves — the Democratic National Convention is upon us! While this means the country's main political party seeking to advance the cause of joy... and vasectomies and stuff. The Babylon Bee has obtained an exclusive itinerary for the DNC and can confirm the following list of must-see moments everyone can look forward to: 1. The ceremonial lighting of a police precinct by Tim Walz and wife: A time-honored Democrat tradition 2. A 3-hour workshop on how to pronounce "Kamala": Say it right, you racist! 3. Sacrifice to Moloch: The god of the DNC demands innocent blood. 4. Kamala's dramatic...

Three of the “Squad” members — Democrat Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Jamaal Bowman of New York and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota — have been hit with a class-action lawsuit for “inciting and encouraging” the anti-Israeli protests and chaos at Columbia University, the New York Post reported on Saturday. Columbia made international news in April when pro-Palestinian demonstrators broke into Hamilton Hall, resulting in dozens of arrests following a large-scale police operation. In late June, the city of New York dropped all criminal charges against the protesters. The three high-profile Democrats were among the most visible lawmakers who sided with the...

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) took a swing at Democratic “elites” who are pushing for President Biden to stand down from the 2024 race, warning they are also “not interested” in seeing Vice President Harris atop the ticket.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) took a swipe at an anonymous senior House Democratic figure who allegedly suggested that many within the party have come to terms with the possibility of Donald Trump securing another term in office.

Retire.” TWEET AT LINK...............

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, Sunday evening calling Democrats, who are already conceding to a second Donald Trump presidential term, fascists. The outspoken Democratic representative shared an article from Axios that notes a senior House Democrat said, "we've all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency." Ocasio-Cortez called for anyone who "feels this way" to retire to make room for those who will fight for the election. "If you're a 'senior Democrat' that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism,"...

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) on Sunday sharply criticized an anonymous “senior Democrat” who was quoted saying the party was “resigned” to another four years under former President Trump. Ocasio-Cortez, in a post on the social platform X, said Democratic members who feel that way should “absolutely retire” from their posts in Congress. “If you’re a ‘senior Democrat’ that feels this way, you should absolutely retire and make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism,” Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X. “This kind of leadership is functionally useless to the American people,” she added. “Retire.” Ocasio-Cortez was responding to...

Talk about a mask-off moment. On Wednesday, the Democratic Socialists of America yanked their endorsement of progressive darling Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, bestowed just a week prior, for the sin of . . . acknowledging the reality of antisemitism within the pro-Palestine movement. The DSA’s national apparatus had tentatively given the endorsement June 23, on the condition that AOC completely toe the group’s line on Israel, which apparently means staying dead silent on the issue of rampant leftist Jew-hate. The group listed several supposed indiscretions in their indictment of AOC, including her vote affirming the Jewish state’s right to exist last...

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...
