New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani delivered a stinging rebuke of the Trump administration in a speech marking America's 250th birthday.
The mayor also spoke of the importance of immigrants, and discussed American exceptional.
He was surrounded by recently naturalized citizens and sat behind the George Washington desk at City Hall. Mamdani himself is also a naturalized citizen, and the topic is important to him personally. He arrived in the U.S. from Uganda

Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey celebrated Somali Independence Day.
Sister city St. Paul, the state’s capital, raised the Somali flag over its City Hall in honor of Somali independence, a flag that looks suspiciously like the newly adopted Minnesota state flag.
Odd. Surely a coincidence.
The Twin Cities weren’t alone in their zeal to celebrate Somali independence.
In a recent post, the Columbus, Ohio, Recreation and Parks Department touted plans to recognize the “unification of the Trust Territory of Somaliland and the State of Somaliland into the Somali Republic” in 1960. Yay!

New York City’s Communist Twelver Shi’ite Mayor Zohran Mamdani has bestowed upon a waiting world his speech commemorating America’s 250th anniversary, and it is just as small, petty, grievance-laden, fantasy-based, and angry as you’d expect a speech from a man who hates America to be.
The visual effect was even worse, as Mamdani delivered the speech while seated at a desk that seemed to be turned the wrong way around, while surrounded by a social studies-book array of glum-looking, unsmiling, unhappy people, all black and brown and hijabed and whatnot and all forlornly holding

The New York Times engaged in coverage of its own favorable poll for the Democratic candidate for a U.S. Senate race in Texas that was eyebrow-raising in its detail and intensity: “Times/Siena Poll Finds Talarico and Paxton Tied in Texas Senate Race.”
The ins and outs of the numbers were lovingly detailed by Shane Goldmacher, national political correspondent, along with polling editor Ruth Igielnik and Camille Baker.
The Democratic Party has a serious chance to win a Senate seat in Texas for the first time in a generation, as James Talarico, a Democratic state legislator, begins the summer locked in a tied race with Ken Paxton

A Tibetan man protesting China’s occupation fatally set himself on fire outside the United Nations headquarters in Manhattan on Thursday evening, capturing the horrifying scene on livestreamed footage.
The protester, identified by a friend as Lobga Rangzen, was dressed in full monastic garb when he planted a Tibetan flag on the sidewalk and then self-immolated along the busy street during the evening rush, according to the video.
He scattered pieces of paper as he burned to death.
Rangzen, who has lived in the US for about 20 years and worked as an Uber driver, crumbled to the ground less than a minute

Hey. Remember that chirpy video the commie mayor of New York City dropped on Tax Day this year? Well, he got what he wanted on those ritzy second homes for the folks who can afford them. Again, these have already had both humongous real estate taxes paid when they bought them, not to mention (what any sane person would consider) the crippling annual city and state property taxes commensurate with places of stratospheric value.
That wasn't enough for the commie the city elected, though. And after the mayor personally targeted Citadel founder Ken Griffin's place as Example Number One of the rapacious filthy rich

There was a time, back when I was young and virile, and the girls flocked to be seen with me, when the DSA went to great lengths to distinguish themselves from and even keep out the communists.
Their vision was more akin to implementing 1970s Nordic social democracy, with a mixed economy, a generous-to-a-fault welfare state, and strict limits on income inequality. It was a very flawed vision, but it was distinguishable from communism. "The DSA’s posture toward terrorism, which ranged from equivocation to outright support, drove away many of the organization’s remaining advocates of liberal democracy.
Two dozen prominent old-line members announced their resignation the next month,

The FBI had a mole inside Gov. Gavin Newsom’s political orbit before the agency’s corruption probe expanded into the governor and his wife, The Post has learned.
Democrat insider Alexis Podesta, 45, secretly recorded conversations during the criminal probe into Newsom’s then-chief of staff, Dana Williamson, 53, who pleaded guilty to federal fraud and tax charges in May, according to Williamson’s attorney. The revelation she was wearing a wire as far back as June 2024 explains why a swath of Sacramento political insiders and lobbyists were stunned to receive FBI letters last fall informing them that their phone calls had been intercepted during the investigation

The New York City Council approved a new budget on Tuesday that allocates almost $7 million for “trans equity” programs and doesn’t include any spending for the additional police officers Mayor Zohran Mamdani promised to hire.
Mamdani previously pledged to hire 580 new cops, but the money for the new positions was noticeably absent from the city’s most recent $126 billion spending plan.
“Why isn’t there more money for police?” state Conservative Party Chairman Gerard Kassar said in reaction to the budget.

Something is brewing inside the Democrat Party, and this time, Donald Trump has nothing to do with it. Behind closed doors, the establishment wing of the party is squaring off against a coup led by self-declared socialists, and the fight over who controls the party's future is only getting started.
Fox News host Jesse Watters laid out exactly how this ends on The Five, and it should terrify anyone still clinging to the idea that the Democrat Party can hold itself together heading into the next presidential race.
Asked by co-host Emily Compagno whether the country is actually being taken over, Watters didn't offer easy reassurance.

We've written extensively about the growing panic among establishment Democrats about the wave of recent wins from "Democratic" Socialists of America (DSA) party candidates in states like New York, where two Mamdani-backed candidates won their House primaries last Tuesday, with one defeating an incumbent.
And as we also reported, another DSA member, Bernie Sanders-endorsed Melat Kiros, won her primary race in Colorado's 1st Congressional District (CD1) Tuesday night, beating 30-year incumbent Diana DeGette in a district drawn for Democrat victories, and that hasn't had Republican representation since 1973.
But there was another Colorado congressional Democrat primary that flew under the radar a bit nationally,
