As the U.S. Supreme Court appears ready to strike down Roe v. Wade, New York Democrats want taxpayers to fund abortions for out-of-state women–including illegal migrants–through a proposed state program costing tens of millions of dollars per year. “That’s the goal of this bill–to ensure that everyone can get the care that they need no matter their [immigration] status or their socio-economic conditions, insurance status, all that,” Assemblywoman Jessica González-Rojas (D-Queens), told The Post Monday about the legislation she is sponsoring with state Sen. Cordell Cleare (D-Harlem), The envisioned Reproductive Freedom and Equity Program would cover medical costs and traveling expenses

Washington—White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Monday that US officials are looking at repealing tariffs on Chinese goods “separately” from any US pressure on China to come clean about the origins of the COVID-19 pandemic and whether the virus leaked from a Wuhan lab. Psaki, responding to a briefing question from The Post, said a review of Trump administration tariffs is focused on consumer prices, and not on the grim approaching milestone of 1 million US coronavirus deaths.“Can you say where the tariffs question comes into pushing China to be transparent on the [pandemic] origins?” The Post asked. “And can you detail anything that President Biden

Desperate mothers across the US have been forced to buy formula they know will make their babies sick as the country grapples with a shortage that has left shelves bare and has caused prices to skyrocket to $120-a-can. Wynter Balthrop, of Gallatin, Tennessee, says she broke down inside her car after driving to six stores and calling others as far as three hours away only to receive the same answer—the Enfamil's Nutramigen formula, the only her baby tolerates, was out-of-stock.(Snip)Parents across the nation are now relying on strangers across state lines who kindly buy formula when it's available, ship it to where it's intended

The Biden administration said Monday it will suspend Trump-era tariffs on Ukrainian steel for one year to help the country employ workers and maintain a vital industry as it repels Russian invaders.
The Commerce Department said the steel industry employs one in 13 Ukrainians, and some of the nation’s biggest steel towns have been hit the hardest by Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “barbarism.” It also pointed to the steel mill in Mariupol, where holdout Ukrainian fighters are hunkered down, as a symbol of Ukraine’s resistance to Russian aggression. “We can’t just admire the fortitude and spirit of the Ukrainian people—we need to have their backs and support

Voters overwhelmingly want stiffer enforcement of America’s immigration laws and a clear majority says President Biden’s border policies have sparked a drug surge that has cost lives, according to new polling. By nearly a 2-1 margin, voters also say if Mr. Biden follows through on ending the Title 42 pandemic policy that allowed some illegal immigrants to be expelled quickly back to Mexico, “the border will be open.” The survey, sponsored by the conservative Senate Opportunity Fund and conducted by OnMessage Inc., also found voters across the ideological spectrum believe the U.S. is headed for an economic recession. The data, which is shared with GOP senators and conservative leaders,

The Biden administration announced a plan plan to get high-speed internet to millions of Americans through subsidies and discounts agreed to by industry–putting work-from-home technology, plus educational and entertainment options into rural and low-income homes. 'High-speed internet service is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity,' the White House said in a fact sheet Monday announcing the program. The funds come from the bipartisan infrastructure law that Biden is championing around the country.(Snip)'That's fast enough for a typical family of four to work from home, do schoolwork, browse the web, and stream high-definition shows and movies,' according to the fact sheet.

Protesters dressed in red costumes from “The Handmaid’s Tale” interrupted Sunday Mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Angels in Los Angeles. A handful of costumed women held up a large green banner in the aisle, and were ushered out after a brief kerfuffle by what appeared to be church security and parishioners, as shown on video footage posted by the Catholic News Agency. One protester accused ushers of attacking her as they sought to remove the activists. Another yelled, “I have a right,” as she was herded out of the sanctuary, while a man shouted back, “Get out of here!” Several parishioners said, “Respect us!”

BLM's controversial co-founder Patrisse Cullors has admitted she lied when she said she had only ever used the group’s $6million LA mansion for official business. Cullors, 38, told the Associated Press Monday that she used the seven-bed Studio City palace—purchased in cash by BLM in October 2020—for her own recreation twice. The first instance saw her hold a party to toast Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's inauguration as president and vice president in January 2021. Then, in March the same year, she commandeered the luxury property—whose purchase has sparked fury among other racial justice campaigners—for her school-aged son's birthday party.

Kensington, Brooklyn—A mural aimed at empowering all women, but especially those who wear hijabs, was unveiled Sunday in Brooklyn.
The mural, entitled Hijabi Queens, was presented at the corner of Coney Island and Ditmas Avenues in Brooklyn’s Little Pakistan neighborhood. It was painted by Natasha May Platt. The mural honors Muslim women who wear Hijabs, the Islamic head covering.
Farzeen Hussain Wasti and Asad Wasti own the building the mural was painted on. “We have never seen anything like this in the neighborhood and there are a lot of hate crimes here and many of them go unreported and they happen to women who wear a head covering,”

First Lady Jill Biden spent Mother's Day at the Slovakia-Ukraine border, meeting and offering support to Ukrainian mothers and children who have been displaced by Russia's invasion, after telling President Biden, 'I can't just sit by and do nothing.' The First Lady said in an interview that aired Saturday that the resilience and strength of the refugees who kissed their loved ones goodbye while their country was being attacked inspired her to help—and that she needed to 'go stand with the mothers of Ukraine' on Mother's Day.(Snip)'If they can be strong, then I can be strong for them,' Biden said.

New Jersey lawmakers have less than eight weeks to negotiate a state budget, and one glaring question lingers: Will Gov. Phil Murphy give the state Legislature a say in spending billions in federal coronavirus relief money? The Garden State received $6.24 billion through the American Rescue Plan signed by President Joe Biden in March 2021. Most of that money remains unspent, and the Murphy administration has yet to release a detailed plan for more than $3 billion that is still unallocated.(Snip)“The governor has been running this as a one-man band throughout the entire crisis,” said Hal Wirths, R-Sussex, Republican budget officer in the state Assembly.

Like lottery winners tearing through the windfall, municipalities put a lot of jingle in some people's pockets to launch programs that cannot continue without additional taxpayer funding. Won't you cut back a bit more so these crackheads can get high in culturally specific housing?
