Democrat congressmen made a series of wild statements during a visit to an immigration detention facility in New Jersey where radical leftists have been protesting and rioting for days. Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) turned up at Delaney Hall in Newark on Wednesday to demand entry and speak to aliens being held inside the facility by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Following a tour, the congressmen held a brief press conference, during which Goldman claimed that the Trump administration is trying to “force” illegal aliens to accept voluntary departure by subjecting them to an extremely hostile...

Former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander (D) is leading incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman (N.Y.) in the Democratic primary for New York’s 10th District by more than 20 points, according to a new survey. In the Emerson College Polling/PIX 11 poll, 56.6 percent of respondents said they would back Lander while 23.1 percent said they support Goldman and 20.3 percent were undecided. Lander launched his bid to challenge Goldman late last year, shortly after losing the party primary for the New York City mayoral race.

The anti-incumbent, anti-Israel fever is set to take out Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman (NY-10). Trust me, no one on the left or the right will be sad to see him go. Goldman was the lead counsel for House Democrats in the first impeachment of President Donald Trump. Goldman infamously decided to pick a fight with Angel Mom Josephine Dunn, who lost her child to fentanyl, and testified before Congress at the impeachment hearing for former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. Goldman was as hateful and condescending as usual, but ended up with his tail between his legs.

Reps. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) and Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) are planning to introduce a bill that would strip federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers of their qualified immunity protections. The bill, called the ICE OUT Act, comes amid fervent debate over whether an ICE officer should face criminal prosecution for the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Macklin Good on Wednesday. Macklin Good was shot and killed by an ICE officer in Minnesota after reportedly dropping her son off at school. Videos shared to social media showed Macklin Good’s car stopped on a snowy road when officers approached, demanding she...

During testimony behind closed doors, former special counsel Jack Smith told lawmakers he believed he could prove President Donald Trump engaged in a "criminal scheme" in order to overturn the 2020 election. NBC News' Ryan Reilly reports on Smith's investigation and what members of Congress had to say. Summary Former special counsel Jack Smith testified in a closed-door House Judiciary Committee hearing on December 17, 2025, after being subpoenaed by Republicans. He defended his investigation into President Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election, stating that his team found proof beyond a reasonable doubt of Trump's involvement in a criminal...

A federal judge on Wednesday temporarily blocked a Trump administration policy that sought to require members of Congress to submit requests a week before visiting and inspecting Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities. U.S. District Court Judge Jia Cobb ruled that the policy likely violated an appropriations law passed by Congress saying that the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees ICE, cannot use funds to require lawmakers in Congress to "provide prior notice of the intent to enter a facility" to conduct oversight. That DHS policy, announced in June, said members of Congress should file requests to inspect ICE facilities...

Representative Dan Goldman (D-NY) said Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” that Homeland Security agents were using “Gestapo-like tactics” to arrest immigrants. Goldman said, “I will be introducing a bill that will prevent Homeland Security officers from hiding or concealing their identities and wearing masks, because we don’t live in a country, an authoritarian country, where we have secret police who are masked, who are intimidating, who are scaring people. That’s the stuff of authoritarian states. That is not the stuff of the — that’s not how the United States operates. And that’s really where this is breaking down, is the...

But the lawmaker didn’t say whether he would vote against the rescissions package. A top House Republican appropriator opposes the Trump administration’s plans to claw back funding for public media — a potential problem for GOP leaders who need near-unity within their party to pass the White House’s request that Congress revoke billions of dollars it has already approved. Rep. Mark Amodei of Nevada, who leads the subcommittee with jurisdiction over the Department of Homeland Security, on Monday joined with Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) to urge the administration to reconsider its proposal to cut $1.1 billion from the Corporation for...

This week, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem got in a heated argument with Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman (NY). The hearing was meant to focus on the budget. Of course, the hearing got sidetracked when Democrats began to press Noem about Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the so-called “Maryland Man” who was living in the United States illegally and got deported to El Salvador. Democrats have flown to El Salvador to advocate for his release, despite the fact that judges determined that he is a member of MS-13. "It's gotta be extremely discouraging to be one of your constituents," Noem told...

On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Agenda,” Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) claimed President Donald Trump’s unconstitutional behavior was escalating down a dangerous path. Goldman said, “This is so misguided the notion that because he won an election that he should be able to ignore the Constitution or violate our laws is preposterous.” Host Kasie Hunt said, “Are you confident the president will uphold the Constitution?” Goldman said, “I’m not confident. I’m not at all.”

My headline above paraphrases somewhat the insane position of Congressman Dan Goldman (D-New York), but so slightly that I think I can be forgiven. In a tweet posted earlier this week, Goldman’s reaction to a new federal task force aimed at investigating and catching the terrorists who have been firebombing Tesla dealerships and vandalizing Tesla cars was as follows: This is the political weaponization of the DOJ. Trump uses his official authority to defend his benefactor Elon Musk. The FBI then creates a task force to use our law enforcement to “crack down” on adversaries of Musk’s. Where are the...

SNIPOn Thursday’s edition of The Dean Obeidallah Show, Obeidallah asked Rep. Goldman “Are you concerned he’s actually make our nation less safe?” — and got an emphatic response:DEAN OBEIDALLAH: Are you concerned he’s actually make our nation less safe?REP. DAN GOLDMAN: I’m not concerned–. I know he is making our nation less safe.And it takes too long. It takes a long time to explain how. But I alluded to it.These CIA agents, these FBI agents are well-trained. Many have learned of different languages. Many are expert at developing sources.Now, sources are double agents from other governments who are giving us...

Thursday on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) said that if President-elect Donald Trump had his Department of Justice go after political enemies, it would be “banana republic stuff.” When asked about January 6 committee members potentially being prosecuted, Goldman said, “Donald Trump’s entire purpose with his selection for the FBI is to do just that and to jail his political enemies, that’s banana republic stuff. It’s not just bad for the political enemies and for a political system, is undermines our entire rule of law. It undermines the credibility of every single prosecution that’s out there, and you...

Did Joe Biden finally do something so egregious that even some CNN anchors won't defend it? In a surprising move, Brianna Keilar, who is typically not shy about showing her left-wing bent, put Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) on the spot about the president's recent pardon of his son. In a must-see moment, Keilar played a past clip of Goldman unequivocally proclaiming that there was no chance Joe Biden would ever issue a pardon to Hunter Biden. The Democrat congressman then started ranting about Donald Trump. CNN didn't just play the clip, though. They left Goldman on screen in a corner...

Gun control Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) reacted to the September 15, 2024, assassination attempt on Donald Trump by claiming Trump himself is the one inspiring “political violence.” He also claimed that Trump endorses “political violence.” Murphy posted to X: On the same day that Murphy placed his post on X, failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow that Trump is a “danger to our country and the world.” Moreover, Breitbart News noted that Kamala Harris’s senior adviser David Plouffe once called for the extermination of former President Donald Trump and “his kind,” according to a 2016 post on...

Hours after former President Donald Trump narrowly avoided a second assassination attempt, NBC News’ Lester Holt fanned the flames of violence by blaming Trump’s “rhetoric” rather than the suspected would-be assassin, who once praised Holt.

A New York Jewish advocacy group blasted Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) Sunday, after she accused Israel of putting Arab children in cages in Judea and Samaria. Last week, Ocasio-Cortez spoke at an Austin, Texas gathering of the Democratic Socialists of America. Following comments by pro-Palestinian protesters at the event, Ocasio-Cortez accused Israel of putting Arab children in Judea and Samaria in cages, saying: “I don’t believe that a child should be in a cage on our border, and I don’t believe a child should be in a cage in the West Bank.” On Sunday, the Queens Jewish Community Council responded...

We've been spending a good bit of time covering the incredibly violent and dangerous rhetoric the Left has been spreading for years now since there has now been a second attempt on Trump's life. You'd have thought the first attempt on his life when he was actually shot in the head might influence them to maybe tone down the dangerous rhetoric but ... no. Suppose if all you really care about is staying in power and not violence in your country it doesn't matter who is getting hurt, especially if it's not your candidate in danger, right? This clip though...

Libs are in full meltdown mode, some openly calling for the assassination of President Trump.Totally normal, stable people who should control the education of your kids, your businesses, the border, and two foreign wars.

As President Trump’s trial enters it’s 6th week in New York City, I have discovered that New York Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul (another Trump hater) is a client of New York Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, who is the President of the Democrat Consulting Firm Authentic Campaigns Yesterday, when President Trump held a rally in the Bronx, NY, Governor Hochul went on CNN with Fake Tapper and called Trump supporters who showed up to the #Bronx rally “clowns”. According to records in the New York State Board of Elections database, Hochul has sent $689,974.35 to Loren Merchan’s personal home address...
