Voter turnout for this year’s congressional Democratic primaries has been substantially lower so far than last year — with far fewer younger voters expected to cast ballots. The Democratic Socialists of America and liberal leaning insiders had hoped to replicate the results of 2025, when Mayor Zohran Mamdani shocked the political establishment by toppling ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and other candidates in the mayor’s race largely boosted by younger voters. “In my part of the world, turnout is a little low,” said Manhattan Democratic leader Keith Wright, referring to the 70th Assembly District in central Harlem, where his son, Assemblyman Jordan Wright, is facing a challenge from DSA challenger Conrad Blackburn.

The Zo-mentum is real. Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s far-left slate of Big Apple congressional hopefuls prevailed in Tuesday’s Democratic primary — with firebrand Darializa Avila Chevalier projected to pull off an AOC-style upset. Former city Comptroller Brad Lander and state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez were quickly projected by the Associated Press and NY1 to win over their establishment Democrat opponents. Avila Chevalier held a razor-thin 49.3% to 46% lead over Rep. Adriano Espaillat with 86% of votes counted late Tuesday, leading the five-term incumbent to concede. The projected win by Avila Chevalier and the congressional race victories — coupled with a likely clean sweep of Democratic Socialists of America candidates in state races

United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called for a massive increase in global climate spending, arguing that governments and financial institutions must devote significantly more resources to addressing climate-related challenges. In a special address at London Climate Action Week on Monday, Guterres said that governments must invest more heavily in climate-related initiatives. “We must do far more to protect people and communities from the here-and-now effects of climate chaos,” Guterres said. “Because even at full speed, we cannot outrun climate change. Its impacts are already here, compounding and cascading.”

The massive warehouse fire in the Boyle Heights section of Los Angeles has been burning and spewing toxic chemicals into the air for a week now. As RedState’s Jennifer Oliver O’Connell reported, Gov. Gavin Newsom was slow to declare a state of emergency, as he and LA Mayor Karen Bass were in Chicago rubbing elbows with the Democrat elites at the Obama Presidential Center opening. The Mayor seems to have a habit of being out of town when major conflagrations break out. To be fair, she couldn‘t have known that a warehouse would go up in flames — but she was warned about the dangerous conditions that led to the disastrous

Two Texas Senate polls put Republican Ken Paxton ahead of Democrat James Talarico: one has Paxton up by two points, while another finds the race moving from a previous Talarico lead to a narrow Paxton edge. A new YouGov poll of registered voters dated June 12 showed Paxton leading Talarico, 49 percent to 47 percent, in the Texas U.S. Senate race. The same YouGov poll showed Republican Gov. Greg Abbott leading Democrat Hinojosa, 47 percent to 40 percent, in a Texas governor matchup. A separate University of Texas/Texas Politics Project poll showed Talarico moving from an eight-point lead over Sen. John Cornyn in April, 42 percent to 34 percent, to

The Montreal shooter’s manifesto makes it clear that he was a deranged leftist who was bitter against women, blaming capitalism and “white men” for the problems in his life, and that he was also antisemitic. Hatfield was a philosophy student at the University of Lethbridge, according to Rebel News. Seth Hatfield from Alberta murdered a police officer, Constable Mohamed Lamine Benredouane, and a local Jewish man, Michael Mizrahi, on Monday in a crazed shooting spree in a Jewish section of Montreal. Police ended up killing Hatfield, too, during the shootout. Hatfield apparently left behind him a long, angry, and rambling manifesto condemning private property and the capitalist system, raging

Maine Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner is facing yet more scrutiny after archived social media posts surfaced containing graphic remarks, controversial political statements, and comments about military veterans. The posts, recovered from Platner’s former Reddit account and reviewed by multiple outlets, remained accessible through internet archives despite efforts to remove much of his online activity. Among the material drawing attention was a response Platner posted in 2014 to an online discussion asking users to share offensive jokes. Under the username P-Hustle, Platner responded to a Reddit prompt asking users to share

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Senate backed legislation on Tuesday directing President Donald Trump to halt U.S. military action ​against Iran, the latest rebuke of the Republican president from an increasingly restive Congress. The Senate voted 50-48 in favor of the war powers resolution, which passed the House ‌of Representatives early this month, reflecting growing concern even among some of Trump's Republicans about the unpopular conflict that began on February 28. It was the first time both chambers of Congress had passed a resolution directing a president to remove U.S. armed forces from hostilities since the War Powers Resolution

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court sided with the Trump administration Tuesday in an immigration case dealing with the government’s power over green card holders accused of crimes. The 6-3 decision centers on an immigration officer’s 2012 decision to put lawful permanent resident Muk Choi Lau on immigration parole when he returned from a short trip to China because he had been accused of a counterfeiting crime. Lau argued that overstepped the officer’s authority, and the decision wrongly allowed the Department of Homeland Security to swiftly begin deportation proceedings after he pleaded guilty to selling counterfeit clothes in New Jersey.

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court on June 23 gave a Michigan family another chance to fight back after their home was sold by the government for about 40% of its value to pay a relatively small tax bill. The justices sent the case back to the lower courts to consider whether the family can challenge the fairness of the way the government sold their home in foreclosure. That’s a partial victory for Michael Pung and his family as it keeps their challenge alive. But it does so without setting the larger precedent the family

A federal appeals court on Tuesday ruled in favor of the Trump administration’s efforts to fast-track deportations for undocumented immigrants across the country through an expedited process that’s typically reserved for individuals who recently crossed the southern border. The Court of Appeals for ​the District of Columbia Circuit issued a 2-1 ruling, overturning a lower-court decision blocking the efforts last year. Advocacy group Make the Roads New York sued the Office of the Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security after it expanded the expedited removal policy, making it applicable to all immigrants who could not prove they’ve been residing in the country for more than two years.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani has outdone himself by branding the pro-Israel AIPAC “monsters.” Mayor Zohran Mamdani doubled down on branding a pro-Israel super PAC as “monsters” — even as Jewish New Yorkers warned the word choice could incite violence. Hizzoner took aim at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee [AIPAC] last week during a campaign rally with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), saying “these monsters take many forms today.”
