Senator Kirsten Gillibrand from New York has strongly challenged Mayor Zoran Mamdani’s controversial remarks regarding the Intifada, asserting that if democratic socialists are serious about leading New York City, they must openly denounce it. Gillibrand, known for her pro-Israel stance, criticized Mamdani for not rejecting the “globalization of Intifadas,” particularly as he requested a sit-down to further explain his position. “As the leader of a city as diverse as New York, home to the largest Jewish population in the country, he should take a clear stand,” Gillibrand remarked during a conversation on WNYC. The senator pointed out that it’s insufficient...

He went on about how America is racist at its core, sexist towards women, and homophobic. The whole woke alphabet was being recited, but where things go off the rails, and where you don’t need to pay him any more mind, is when he said that the rates of cancer, obesity, and heart disease are higher among black Americans because of the n-word. I’m not kidding. "'m a black man in America. The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity and diabetes are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal...

The comedian shared a post to her Instagram Story from social media influencer Joe Braxton, who claimed that Tesla CEO Elon Musk “hacked and stole” the 2024 presidential election in his demand for a “recount.” “We Demand A Recount!” the online influencer exclaimed in the caption of his Instagram post, which was shared by O’Donnell.

On Sunday, June 22, The Hill reported that failed 2020 and 2024 presidential candidate Kamala Harris is “leaning toward entering the [2026] California gubernatorial race, per sources familiar with the former vice president’s thinking.” “While the sources caution that Harris hasn’t made a final decision yet and is still considering all her options, they say she has made it clear that she is not done with public service and is giving the race strong consideration. Those who have spoken to Harris about the possibility of entering the race say it has given her a renewed sense of excitement and, as...

Harris has not made a final decision, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to The Hill. One source said that the possibility of entering the race has put “a glimmer in her eyes.” “She has a lot of people in her ear telling her that it makes the most sense and she can do the most good,” said one source who spoke to Harris about a potential run. Another source reportedly “pushed back” on the notion that Harris would enter the race, they told The Hill: Either way, the sources say Harris is sticking to a self-imposed end-of-summer deadline...

“No president should be allowed to unilaterally march this nation into something as consequential as war with erratic threats and no strategy,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), a longtime Iran hawk, said in a statement.

VIDEOOf course Tucker Carlson would have to laugh at this impression of him. It would be impossible for anyone not to burst out laughing at this dead on impression that so perfectly captures the Tucker Carlson essence.

Last summer, during the height of the presidential campaign—not the Biden v. Trump one, the Harris v. Trump one—I heard a rumor while in the MSNBC green room. Mark Cuban, the former owner of the Dallas Mavericks, Shark Tank stalwart, and indefatigable Democratic surrogate, had been asked to submit VP vetting papers by the Harris campaign. I never was able to nail down the rumor—until now. In an interview Thursday, Cuban confirmed that he was, indeed, asked. He also said that he declined the offer because his vetting book would be too long and it wasn’t worth the trouble for...

... I urge President Trump to stay the course, keep putting America first, and to not join in any war between other countries. Every American should hope and pray for peace.

On Thursday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) said that “If you believe in capitalism, like I do, if you believe that the market has given us this incredible country,” you should address healthcare costs, housing, child care, and reducing the amount of debt the U.S. has and Congress “should be reducing some of the burden on people who make less, but actually increasing some of the corporate taxes so we can bring more funds in to do something about the debt.” Klobuchar said, “If you believe in capitalism, like I do, if you believe that the...

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican tax bill approved by the U.S. House of Representatives would cost the poorest Americans roughly $1,600 a year while increasing the income of the wealthiest households by an average of $12,000 annually, according to a new analysis released Thursday by the Congressional Budget Office. Middle-income households would see a boost of roughly $500 to $1,000 per year under Republican President Donald Trump’s tax bill, the CBO found. The cuts to the lowest-income households come from proposed cuts to social safety net programs including Medicaid and a food assistance program for lower-income people, known as Supplemental...

Pro Tip, Senator Klobuchar: if you want to give people the impression that Donald Trump and the Republicans are looking to starve women and children out of spite, it's better not to put that message out there by dragging out a morbidly obese public employee as the face of your cause. Senator … I … I don’t know how to put this nicely but please fire your social media team. https://t.co/U94IliEtnm— Jarvis (@jarvis_best) June 12, 2025Today, we heard from Felecia, a single mom of four who works up to three jobs at a time to make ends meet.

Nancy Pelosi might need to read up on the Constitution before going out in public again. The former House speaker, who twice held the most powerful job in Congress, went before the Washington press corps on Tuesday to mount a full-throated attack on President Donald Trump for using the California National Guard to crack down on rioting in Los Angeles over the objections of Golden State Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom. And she made up sections of the Constitution that don’t exist to do it. -snip- “I hope the president would read Article 10 of the Constitution, and I urge all...

Former ABC News veteran correspondent Terry Moran has launched his independent journalism career. The 65-year-old journalist resurfaced his Substack account and vowed he would get back to the “important work,” he said Wednesday, a day after he was booted from the Disney-owned network. Moran was dismissed Tuesday for violating the company’s policies with a viral social media attack against top White House official Stephen Miller. “For almost 28 years, I was a reporter and anchor for ABC News, as you may have heard, I am not there anymore. I’m here with you, on Substack,” Moran said in a video posted...

Chicago’s radical, progressive, Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson told the media on Wednesday that the Trump administration is “what our country would look like had the Confederacy won.” The race-obsessed, left-wing mayor railed against the Trump administration after hundreds of protesters flooded the streets of the Windy City in opposition to the president’s lawful immigration enforcement policies. Johnson by turns called Trump a “terrorist” and a “racist” in his comments to the press. The mayor with the single worst approval rating in the entire country also reminded the media that he recently said that Trump’s immigration policy is “what terrorism looks...

He’s demanding that American troops do it.”

Radio host Charlamagne Tha God on Thursday criticized black Democratic voters for what he called blind loyalty to the party. Charlamagne’s comments on “The Breakfast Club” followed former White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announcing on Wednesday that she was leaving the Democratic Party to become an independent and publishing a book. The radio host praised her departure from the Democratic Party, arguing that black Americans should not be tied to either major political party.
