Exclusive: New York City’s mayor explains why he’s backing New York’s governor in the 2026 election.Zohran Mamdani “The era of empty promises ends.” That’s the vision that drove our mayoral campaign. It’s the foundation of my administration. It’s also what Governor Kathy Hochul said as we celebrated an agreement to deliver universal childcare—one of the largest expansions of the social safety net in our city’s history. It is as consequential a policy victory as our movement has seen in quite some time. A burden of more than $22,500 lifted, the difference between whether or not a family can stay in...

When Chuck Schumer released a brief list of Senate Democratic demands for reforming Immigration and Customs Enforcement as part of his maneuvers just prior to the beginning of a partial government shutdown last week, he had the short-term tactical goal of looking both tough and reasonable. For the moment, it placated the Democrats, who wanted an all-out fight to radically change or even abolish ICE, while holding out the prospect of negotiations with Republicans if they agreed to separate Department of Homeland Security appropriations from the rest of a giant spending package. The gambit served its original purpose, but Schumer’s...

Senator Chuck Schumer and Congressman Hakeem Jeffries may call it common-sense solutions, but I would call their list of 40 demands for amnesty-like attacks on Immigration and Customs Enforcement, nothing less than abolishing ICE altogether, and returning to President Biden’s catastrophic open-borders policy is their not-so-hidden agenda. If you go through their list, you can see that they are siding once again with the far-left wing of the Democratic party that wants to abolish, defund, and damage ICE. They can’t defund it cause it’s already funded from the One, Big, Beautiful, Bill, with roughly $75 billion, but then again the...

A federal appeals court delivered a victory for the Trump administration on Friday night by backing its mass detention policy that locks up most people it intends to deport. The three-judge panel on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in Texas split on the ruling with two judges ruling that the Trump administration had the correct interpretation of the immigration law when it comes to the ability to detain people that will be deported, according to Politico. “That prior Administrations decided to use less than their full enforcement authority … does not mean they lacked the authority to do more,”...

Lefty actor Mark Ruffalo ripped Kevin O’Leary in a blistering tirade after the “Shark Tank” host told Billie Eilish to “shut your mouth and just entertain” as she continues to face backlash over her anti-ICE Grammys rant. “Kevin O’Leary why don’t you STFU,” the outspoken Marvel actor raged on Threads Thursday night. “You will go on any show and talk -–- about any number of things and smugly expect us to listen to you, but you will dig into a real artist that dwarfs anything you dream of doing for actually saying something that resonates with 100’s of millions of...

Gov. Gavin Newsom was on the pre-Super Bowl party scene Thursday night. Spies saw Newsom at two starry bashes. The politician was spotted heading into Rao’s pop-up, which is running this week before the big game. As Newsom entered, security was trying to sneak him in to keep him away from cameras and reporters asking him any questions. Our source overheard one of the guards say as they hustled Newsom by that they were trying to duck The California Post! The pop-up was a replica of Rao’s — the famed red sauce restaurant in NYC — and the night was...

Gus Kenworthy, a British-American Olympic skier who is set to compete for Great Britain in freestyle skiing, posted a graphic anti-ICE message on his social media as opening ceremonies were set to begin for the 2026 Milan Cortina Olympics on Friday. Kenworthy posted a photo on his Instagram that showed the words “f–k ICE” on snow in what appeared to be urine. He urged Americans to call their senators to pressure them into voting against Department of Homeland Security funding negotiations. “Innocent people have been murdered, and enough is enough,” he captioned the post. “We can’t wait around while ICE...

Spanish civil engineers have renewed urgent warnings over the deteriorating condition of the country’s dams, as flooding linked to Storm Leonardo heightens public concern and exceptional rainfall is forecast to continue until the weekend. Experts say the storm has exposed long-standing structural weaknesses in Spain’s water infrastructure and highlighted decades of insufficient investment in safety and maintenance. Professional engineering bodies warn that around one third of Spain’s state-owned dams require urgent structural reinforcement, while roughly half have defective bottom outlet systems, a critical component for controlling water levels during extreme weather events. They argue that the risks are growing as...

Greenland Foreign Minister Vivian Motzfeldt said the move highlights shared values and strong...

The Left is beginning to panic about Tulsi Gabbard's investigation into the massive election fraud in 2020. They have good reason to. For the first time since then, I actually have hope that the fraud will be exposed for all to see. I would say that the evidence produced will be undeniable, but the left will always deny what they find inconvenient. Just 2 months ago, Fulton County acknowledged that 315,000 ballots from the 2020 election weren’t properly certified.A mere 11,779 votes determined the winner in Georgia.President Trump has every right to ask questions—and make sure it doesn’t happen again....

Sir Keir Starmer's rattled allies today issued a desperate warning to rebel Labour MPs that a leadership coup by Angela Rayner will trigger a general election. The under-fire Prime Minister is battling to stay in Downing Street as he reels from the Lord Mandelson scandal, with a number of backbenchers openly questioning his future. In a bid to contain the crisis, Sir Keir has promised to release documents related to Lord Mandelson's appointment as US ambassador in February last year. But the Government was forced into ceding control of the release of material to Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee (ISC),...

@realTJRoberts Thomas Massie has been a hero, a mentor, and a supporter to me since I was very young. He’s been a champion for the America First cause, and a thorn in the side of big government for as long as I can remember. For that reason, he has my complete support. Thomas Massie's commitment to the Constitution and the principles of liberty is unmatched. His proven track record in Congress speaks volumes, and has yielded him the top scores from organizations like Turning Point, Gun Owners of America, and the New American Freedom Index. He consistently fights against government...

"I cannot wait for the Democrats to take the House." Nick Fuentes tells everyone to "STAY HOME" in 2026. [Video attached]

The White House deleted a meme video posted on President Trump’s Truth Social that depicted former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, as apes — after a prominent GOP senator called the clip the “most racist thing I’ve seen” and demanded it be taken down. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt initially defended the post and accused critics of fomenting “fake outrage” — but the video was taken down a little before noon Friday. A White House official added that a staffer had “erroneously made the post. It has been taken down.” Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), the highest-ranking black...

President Donald Trump’s approval rating with Republicans has taken an eight-point hit since the fall, according to data from a national polling series. Newsweek contacted the White House via email for comment outside regular working hours. Republican National Committee (RNC) national press secretary Kiersten Pels told Newsweek that Trump has "lowered prices, secured the border, and ensured workers keep more of their hard-earned pay," adding: "With strong momentum, Republicans are united, energized, and ready to win in the midterms." Why It Matters It signals a measurable softening in GOP support over just more than three months, as overall approval numbers...

STOPPING WALL STREET FROM COMPETING WITH MAIN STREET HOMEBUYERS: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order to protect the American Dream by making sure that large institutional investors do not buy single-family homes that could otherwise be purchased by families.The Order directs key agencies to issue guidance preventing relevant Federal programs from approving, insuring, guaranteeing, securitizing, or facilitating sales of single-family homes to institutional investors.The Order instructs key agencies to promote sales to individual owner-occupants through first-look policies (which give individuals and other non-institutional investors the opportunity to buy foreclosed properties before investors do), disclosure requirements, and anti-circumvention...

“I suspect that the FBI is going to find things missing.” As a member of the Georgia State Election Board, Salleigh Grubbs is an authority on the alleged 2020 election fraud that led to an FBI raid on an election center in Fulton County. “It could be ballots, it could be reconciliations, it could be poll tapes, it could be any number of things,” she told The Spectator. “They have been fighting to prevent anyone looking at this evidence and preventing investigations. If you don’t have anything to hide, why do you care?”Fulton officials finally admitted in December – after...

Where is it that the chickens go to roost? If you said “home,” you don’t quite get it. The correct answer is “Fulton County, Georgia.” At least, that’s where the chickens were congregating at the end of January when the FBI raided a Fulton County election office and made off with some 700 boxes of ballots and other election materials. Seven hundred, kemo sabe. According to the official search warrant, the G-Men were there to seize “all records relating to violations of Title 52, United States Code, 20701 and 20511.” It’s always scary when people start talking about “United States...

New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie suggested Vice President JD Vance's mother was right to have attempted to sell him for drugs in a Bluesky post on Wednesday. In a series of comments on the left-wing platform, Bouie criticized Vance for a recent interview with the Daily Mail where he declined to apologize to Minnesota shooting victim Alex Pretti's family after accusing him of showing up with "ill intent" at an immigration enforcement protest. "[T]his is a wicked man who knows he is being wicked and does it anyway," Bouie wrote. He added, "like, do you see that smirk? that...
