A Minneapolis lawmaker who praised the speedy response he got from officials after he was carjacked has sparked a backlash from disgruntled locals who claim their own complaints are falling on deaf ears. Jamal Osman, a Democrat city councilman in the Minnesota city, was accused of receiving preferential treatment after he posted about the crime on X on Tuesday. (Snip) However the post immediately drew criticism from Crime Watch Minneapolis, an account that tracks offenses in the city, which highlighted a report from another car jacking victim who claimed police did not even bother to come out to take the

While a number of Democratic lawmakers are voicing their support for a new bipartisan deal to bring the 40-day federal government shutdown to an end, members of the party’s left-flank are furious about the proposed agreement. Progressive Democratic lawmakers and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries excoriated a deal Sunday negotiated by fellow members of their party to reopen the government, citing their fear Democrats are going to cave without winning any substantive concessions in the shutdown fight. The group of Democrats argued their party should withhold their votes until Republicans agree to extend enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies. “We will

Following her husband's spat with President Donald Trump over his show being temporarily suspended in September, McNearney told the podcast hosts that she felt betrayed after some of her family members voted for the current president. (Snip) "I've sent many emails to family, like right before the election, saying, 'I'm begging you. Here's the 10 reasons not to vote for this guy. Please don't," she recalled. "And I

Former President Joe Biden, wearing a seemingly fresh bandage on his head, told Nebraska Democrats Friday that his late son should have been elected commander-in-chief in 2020, not himself, in a speech ripping President Trump. (Snip) “When the love of my life, my oldest son, the attorney general of the state of Delaware – who should’ve been the president, not me – volunteered to go to Iraq for a year, didn’t have to, he came back with stage four glioblastoma because he lived in a burn pit just like those guys did on 9/11, and he died,” the 46th president

WASHINGTON -- As Democrats savor their Election Day victories, some are capitalizing on the victory of New York City Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani and calling out party leaders for snubbing progressives, warning that alienating the left could cost them crucial House seats needed to take control and counter President Donald Trump’s agenda. (Snip) “There are no people, I think right now, who have a worse read on what electable means and less of a pulse on voters than the Democratic establishment,” said Morris Katz, who managed Mamdani’s campaign. He was then asked if anyone cared that Schumer did not endorse in

Mayor Brandon Johnson is calling for more taxes on big companies in his 2026 budget proposal. Under the mayor’s plan, businesses in Chicago with more than 100 employees would have to pay $21 for each employee every month. Johnson said the extra charge would generate $100 million to fund local services like violence prevention. But it’s sparking heated debate as critics say the tax would hurt the local economy. Johnson defended the plan in a news conference Thursday, saying companies should invest more in the city. He told reporters that the tax would only impact 3% of the city’s largest

KAMPALA - When Zohran Mamdani inveighed against inequality and corruption during his underdog bid for New York City mayor, Joseph Beyanga at Uganda's Daily Monitor could hear echoes of conversations almost 20 years earlier with the then-intern on the newspaper's sports desk. "Mamdani would sit with me in the production room. He would always ask me, so who is affected by this one? Who pays the price?" Beyanga, the Daily Monitor's media manager, told Reuters.

Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine), dubbed the most conservative Democrat in Congress, has announced he will not seek a fifth House term next year. “I’m confident that were I to run again, I would win,” Golden said in a statement on X attached to an op-ed announcing his decision in the Bangor Daily News. “But recent events have made me reconsider whether the good I can do in Congress still outweighs the cost to my family.” (Snip) Notably, Golden, 43, was the lone House Democrat to vote to fund the government through Nov. 21. Senate Dems have blocked that bill 14

Tuesday wasn't the best day the Republican Party ever experienced. They lost key races in Virginia, New Jersey, and New York City, and the passage of Proposition 50 in California means that the once-Golden State will be gerrymandered to a fare-thee-well, and California's Republican congressional delegation will be pretty much extinct. (Snip) We will prove that there is no problem too large for government to solve, and no concern too small for it to care about. Wow. Just... wow. Consider all of the implications of that line. Consider what he means by this. First, on the "no problem too large"

Some surprised diners gasped and applauded when they saw the former president amble into the restaurant.

A black producer laid off from CBS News this week has accused the company of racism by saying that all of his fired fellow colleagues were 'people of color.' Trey Sherman made the claim in a viral video posted to his TikTok account Wednesday, after CBS News' parent company announced sweeping layoffs across the organization. Sherman had worked for the now-cancelled 'CBS Evening News+' since February, as well as the network's just-eliminated Race and Culture Unit. 'Every person who gets to stay and will be relocated within the company is a white person.' Sherman then recounted a meeting he said
