    Stephen Colbert called himself a 'martyr' before firing off a crude message to Donald Trump, warning 'the gloves are off' after the president gloated over The Late Show’s cancellation. The comedian's decade-long run as the host of CBS' late night flagship will end next May, with network insiders suggesting the top-rated show was canceled because it was losing anywhere from $40 to $100million per year.

    Democrat Minneapolis mayoral candidate Omar Fateh laid out his vision on Sunday to freeze rent, rapidly raise the minimum wage and refuse to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement. Fateh, who is currently a Minnesota state senator, posted a video to his X account calling to “protect” Minneapolis from a “hostile White House,” increase the minimum wage by $20 by 2028 and prohibit the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) from “interacting” with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The mayoral candidate, who announced his candidacy in December, has a platform that strongly resembles Democrat New York City mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani’s. “Protecting all...

    The Department of Justice announced that a former Voice of America employee has been indicted for making death threats against not only Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), but also directed at her family and members of her staff. A press release issued Thursday from U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro and Chief Michael G. Sullivan of the United States Capitol Police said that the Maryland resident has been charged "with influencing a federal official by threatening a family member, influencing a federal official by threat, interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure, and anonymous telecommunications harassment."

  • TOO EMBARRASSING TO AIR: Comedian Reveals Kamala Harris Gave Such a ‘Weird’ and Disastrous Interview That It Never Saw the Light of Day

    Former Vice-President-turned-perpetual-gaffe-machine Kamala Harris just added another entry to her blooper reel, and this one was apparently so disastrous that even her own handlers begged to deep-six it. TikTok star Kareem Rahma, host of the series Subway Takes, revealed on Forbes’ “Top Creators” show that a 2024 sit-down with Harris was spiked after she unleashed a “really, really bad” hot-take: “Bacon is a spice.” Rahma — a practicing Muslim who doesn’t eat pork — said the remark was so baffling, tone-deaf, and politically radioactive that both sides mutually agreed never to let America see the tape. Kamala Harris gave an...

    Friday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) claimed many of her Republican colleagues “don’t understand” the “Big, Beautiful Bill” they just voted for. Co-host Wolf Blitzer said, “I spoke with your colleague and I think a friend of yours, Republican Congresswoman Lisa McClain, the chair of the Republican conference, fellow Michigander, about the impact that this bill could have on Medicaid in your state of Michigan. I want to highlight some of what she told me about the Medicaid changes that are in this bill.” Representative Lisa McClain (R-MI) said, “My constituents applaud us for what we’re...

    Taking to social media after the bill passed, Ocasio-Cortez expressed concerns with what the bill now means in terms of funding for ICE. "I don't think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ICE," the New York lawmaker posted on Bluesky. "This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA, & others combined." Cortez concluded, "It is setting up to make what's happening now look like child's play. And people are disappearing." "People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy....

    Although police have not released the name of the victim, a woman who identified herself as a friend created a GoFundMe page and identified her as 21-year-old Alexa Carrasco. “She was rushed to the hospital” and was in intensive care with “life-threatening injuries,” wrote the friend, Leslie Hernandez. She told The Times on Monday that Carrasco remained in critical condition in the ICU but was stable. Carrasco’s friends also told KCAL-TV that she suffered severe skull injuries as well as a cracked rib, punctured lung and broken leg. “Alexa is loving, outgoing, and full of life,” Hernandez wrote. “She’s the...

    The dad of a young union worker and socialist activist arrested by the FBI for handing out face shields to dozens of LA rioters said his son isn’t a criminal — but slammed him for supplying the anti-ICE riots, and leading the feds to bust down the door of their family home. Francisco Orellana’s reaction to seeing his son Alejandro “Alex” Orellana driving a truck loaded with supplies for protesters was: “What the f--- are you doing?” The elder Orellana, a US citizen who moved to the US in the 1970s, told The Post the feds handcuffed the whole family...

    MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Monday argued that President Donald Trump is “absolutely panicking” over what she described as the “trenchant and joyful and sustainable opposition” against him. Maddow argued that Trump has “no freaking idea” how to respond to the protests over his administration’s immigration raids — and that his deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles proves it. Trump, in his second term, has “decided to throw out all the rules,” Maddow said. But instead of appearing bold, she claimed, it’s made him “very boring.” “It’s like, it’s all on the table. We know exactly what he’s doing....

    The Democrat senator criticizes Trump's deployment of National Guard.The anti-ICE demonstrations in and around Los Angeles have been “peaceful,” Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) claimed on Sunday, despite clear evidence of violent clashes with federal authorities.Booker seemed to take a page out of CNN’s “mostly peaceful” playbook from 2020 after President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles over the weekend. Trump criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass — both Democrats — for not being able to contain the chaos as videos and media reports documented how demonstrators hurled rocks, concrete, and fireworks at...

    Musk and Gor disliked each other since before Trump reclaimed power on Jan. 20 — with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO describing Gor as “sleazy” during the transition and questioning his staffing picks. But the world’s richest man had the president’s ear and friendship through last week. Simmering behind the scenes was a grudge nursed by Gor over a March 6 Cabinet meeting, during which Musk “humiliated” him by slamming the pace of staffing the administration, said the sources, each of whom have interacted closely with Gor. “He was bragging to other people that he was going to get one...

    A lefty Upper West Side councilwoman is demanding free dental care for illegal immigrants — and revealed she’s shelled out more than $8,000 of her own dough to keep their pearly whites intact. “Is someone paying attention to all of their health needs!” Councilwoman Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan) roared at NYC Health Department officials during a May 23 budget hearing. “They have a lot of health needs. Forget the dental! I’m already out $8,000-$10,000 on the dental. So who is paying attention to them?” she scolded.

    MSNBC host and former White House press secretary Jen Psaki insisted in a new interview that she never saw signs that former President Joe Biden had declined while she worked for him. "I never saw that person —not a single time, and I was in the Oval Office every day, that was on that debate stage," Psaki said on the "Mixed Signals" podcast about Biden's performance during the June 2024 presidential debate which raised alarms about his fitness to serve another term. He dropped out the following month and endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to replace him as the Democratic...

    Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, is being torched online after she expressed sympathy for countries that may be affected by mass deportations from the U.S. after she remained largely silent on millions of migrants pouring into the U.S. under the Biden administration. Crockett, a first-term progressive who has made headlines for several controversial comments this year, appeared unaware of the apparent double standard, which drew criticism from conservative accounts and commentators and Republican lawmakers. "As far as I'm concerned, you randomly kidnapping folk and you throwing them out of the country against their civil rights, against their constitutional rights," Crockett said...

    One of the new books currently being pushed by journalists desperately trying to pretend that they weren’t part of the cover-up of Biden’s decline, claims that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was terrified to face then Ohio Senator JD Vance in the vice presidential debate last fall. Anyone who was watching that debate knows that this was a major turning point in the election. Tim Walz seemed completely unprepared to answer difficult questions about his past and his record. He truly looked like a deer in headlights. JD Vance, on the other hand, was calm, cool, and collected. Vance answered questions...

    The left-wing cofounder of a group that received gushing coverage for its efforts to “defund” conservative media will step away from the advocacy organization at the end of next month, The Post can reveal, following a legal challenge and attempts to rebrand in the wake of President Trump’s return to the White House. Nandini Jammi — whose Check My Ads Institute seeks to yank advertiser funding from right-wing figures and outlets purportedly spreading “disinformation” — announced on her LinkedIn “with enormous pride” that she was “stepping down.” The move comes on the heels of a funding shortfall amid impending legal...

Josh Shapiro (D) by stating that while we don’t know the exact motives of the attacker, “The people that ratcheted the temperature up, the folks that should have been the loudest here” are in the Oval Office and after the attempted assassination of then-candidate Donald Trump “you had Democrats bending over backwards to say, we have to take the temperature down, we have to bring the temperature down, when they weren’t even the people that ratcheted the temperature up.” Sanders said, “[W]e don’t...

    Space Force Col. Susan Meyers, commander of Pituffik Space Base in Greenland, sent out a base-wide email after a visit by Vice President J.D. Vance last month that undermined President Donald Trump’s position on the territory of Greenland as a vital national security interest being mismanaged by Denmark that would do better under the United States, according to a scoop by Military.com reporter Thomas Novelly published Thursday afternoon. “I do not presume to understand current politics, but what I do know is the concerns of the U.S. administration discussed by Vice President Vance on Friday are not reflective of Pituffik...
