A few years before Mayor Zohran Mamdani appointed Cea Weaver to run his Office to Protect Tenants, Democratic Assemblyman Kalman Yeger says the NYC Council signaled it would not confirm her for an influential city planning commission because she was too radical. Mamdani has not pulled Weaver's appointment amid some of the same concerns city council members had back in 2021, including resurfaced comments she made calling homeownership a "weapon of white supremacy" and arguments that property should be treated as a "collective good." "Guess it's easier to name a communist to a position that doesn't require confirmation," Yeger said amid the

President Donald Trump unleashed his fury on a handful of Senate Republicans who rebelled against him on Thursday, demanding that they never be re-elected. Five Senate Republicans broke ranks to support a bipartisan war powers resolution from Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., geared toward reining in Trump’s ability to pursue further military action in Venezuela. It served as a rare rebuke from Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Todd Young, R-Ind., Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Rand Paul, R-Ky., in a Republican-controlled Senate that has largely accepted and advanced many of Trump’s legislative desires. TRUMP EMBRACES US INTERVENTION IN VENEZUELA, OPENS DOOR TO BROADER

As the details of Minnesota’s widescale social services fraud blew up on social media over the Christmas holidays, it was hard to miss the contrast between the reaction of Republicans and Democrats.  While Republicans were outraged, Democrats minimized and denied the very existence of the problem. With each new revelation of systemic fraud against the American taxpayer, we’re seeing a common denominator. Fraud protections have been deliberately bypassed in the pursuit of progressive political goals.
