New York City mayoral favorite Zohran Mamdani (D) bashed both the cops and Israel in a wild, conspiratorial clip unearthed on X. (Snip) “For anyone to care about these issues, we have to make them [inaudible],” he continued. “We have to make clear that when the boot of the NYPD is on your neck, it’s been laced by the ID F.” “We are in a country where those connections abound. Especially in New York City, you have so many opportunities to make clear the ways in which that struggle over there is tied to capitalist interests over here,” added Mamdani.

Kamala Harris is ready for her comeback! That’s right, the candidate who has shown no particular talent for winning national presidential elections, or even achieving the nomination of her own party via democratic means, is very likely going to run again, in 2028. She said as much in a recent interview with the BBC. (Snip) What was true in the last election cycle, and in 2019, remains true now: Kamala Harris is a very, very weak candidate for the Democratic Party. When she pursued the presidency in 2019, her campaign faltered badly from the start: she demonstrated no real ability

(Snip) Platner's team provided video to "Pod Save America," a political podcast hosted by former aides to former President Barack Obama, which showed Platner had a skull-and-crossbones tattoo on his chest

WASHINGTON — The country’s largest union representing federal workers is calling for lawmakers to pass a short-term spending measure to immediately end the government shutdown, urging Democrats to abandon their current position and join Republicans in supporting a stopgap solution. (Snip) The statement could increase pressure on Democrats to budge from their stance. Senate Democrats have insisted that they won’t vote to reopen the government without a commitment from Republicans and President Donald Trump on extending health care subsidies through the Affordable Care Act, which are set to expire at the end of the year. Without them, health insurance premiums

LOS ANGELES -- A new report from business review company Yelp gives Los Angeles the top spot for being the most rat-infested city in the United States. "Los Angeles earned the unenviable title of America's #1 rodent hotspot, with more Yelp searches for rodent services than any other city. Los Angeles's densely populated neighborhoods create the perfect hiding spots for these tiny trespassers, especially as drought conditions drive wildlife closer to homes in search of food and water," Yelp said in its Fall Infestation Index report. San Francisco came in at number two, while New York, which has achieved social media

"The truth is, the complexity we’ve created over time has been holding us back. Too many layers and overlapping work have slowed decisions, making

New York's infamous crime families are making headlines again. As the Oct. 23 arrests and indictments allegedly show in stunning detail, the old-school Italian mafia – La Cosa Nostra with its loyalty oaths, nicknames and lucrative gambling rackets – haven't gone away. (Snip) Patel − and the charging documents − detailed how mafia members used high-tech tools, along with their old-fashioned racketeering schemes, to help orchestrate major aspects of the criminal operation. "Not only did we crack into the fraud that these perpetrators committed on the grand stage of the NBA, but we also entered and executed a system of

The amount of the tax would increase based on inflation, and would be assessed based on the number of employees who work in Chicago 50% or more of the time. The mayor sees it as a means of

CHICAGO — Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker turned heads this week when his campaign disclosed he won $1.4 million gambling last year. Though the billionaire Democrat doesn’t frequent Las Vegas casinos as much as he once did, the windfall is a reminder of his high-stakes past. Pritzker has been a blackjack player for more than two decades, long before he entered public office. “He’s a whale in Vegas,” said a businessperson who’s known Pritzker for years and was granted anonymity to speak freely. “I was incredibly lucky,” Pritzker told reporters Thursday when asked about the big win. “You have to be
