Some political observers are saying that New York Democrat mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is a sleazy, two-faced, peddler of political snake-oil whose Communist agenda would only demonstrate yet one more wearisome time the capability of Marxism to reduce a city striving toward prosperity and peace to a rubble-strewn ruin of homelessness, crime and poverty in order to create an urban hellscape that would express through the human misery of others, a leftist like Mamdani’s virulent hatred of God, America, the Jews, humanity and himself even while he continues to disguise that hatred behind a smile of chilling insincerity and the sort of vague, Obama-like bromides of deceptive political oration that anyone but an idiot or a Democrat would recognize instantaneously as the mesmeric lies of a man whose heart has been poisoned by a diabolical socialist ideology that transforms every natural human instinct toward goodness into a bubbling black tar of destructive evil.
Other political observers are saying other things. Like, “What’s on TV tonight?” or “I wonder if it’s too late to get a reservation for dinner.” Because watching Mamdani’s rise to front-runner in the New York mayoral race is so disturbing, they’d rather think about practically anything else.
Left-leaning New York politicians are uncertain whether or not they should endorse Mamdani and have been nervously tracking the opinions of a mob of naked, blood-drenched maniacs who at first seemed to be the extras who played the rage zombies in “28 Years Later” but instead turned out to be the Democrat base. As New York Senator and career corruptocrat Chuck Schumer said, “I am one hundred percent in favor of Zohran Mamdani if that shrieking mob of naked blood-drenched zombies supports him, but if they would prefer to rampage down Fifth Avenue killing and devouring anyone who gets in their way, then I’m in favor of that instead. In other words, a lifetime of ideological pandering has left me a hollow doppelganger of the man God created me to be and I’ll basically do anything for just one more term in power before delivering the husk of what was once a human being into the hands of the Satanic overlord who owns the flaming ashes of my former soul.”
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-andrew-klavan-show">WATCH: The Andrew Klavan Show</a></h3>
On the other hand, shapely-but-evil New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed Mamdani enthusiastically, telling her supporters, “Men have sleep-walked into self-destruction while gazing at a hot rack like mine through all of human history, I don’t see why this mayoral election should be any different.”
Some journalists have temporarily roused themselves from the sleep of reason that produces monsters to report on some of Mamdani’s little peccadillos, like the fact that he’s a Jew-hating, Islamist-appeasing, anti-American dirtbag who once gave the finger to a statue of Christopher Columbus, and wants to defund the police, seize the means of production, transform the state of Israel into a rerun of the holocaust and reduce New York to a socialist slave-city on the order of 1970s Detroit.
But Mamdani answered those accusations in a charming speech to a vast collection of matrix-like pods that contained residents of Park Slope Brooklyn, who were happily living in a dream that the world was like it is in the New York Times while their brains were being drained of electricity in order to power the Democrat machine. Mamdani said, “Sure, I’ve got some ideas that would make New York City look like it had been trampled by a Stalinist Godzilla, but, you know, Ronald Reagan used to say that a person who agrees with you 80 percent of the time is a friend and an ally, and in the same way, a person who agrees with me 80 percent of the time will soon be lying in the gutter in a pool of his own vomit wishing he’d paid closer attention to that other 20 percent.”
The Park Slope residents greeted this speech with thunderous applause and then went back to dodging bullets in slow motion because they were dreaming they were in a New York Times editorial that said yes, Mamdani’s crime-infested New York would be riddled with gunfire, but don’t worry, just take this blue pill, and you’ll be able to dodge the bullets in slow motion.

President Donald Trump slammed Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Tuesday after the Senate minority leader tried to blame Trump for the Texas floods.
&#8220;I saw a Palestinian senator, his name is Schumer, he&#8217;s a great Palestinian,&#8221; Trump said in a White House cabinet meeting. &#8220;He&#8217;s become a Palestinian. He&#8217;s abandoned the Jews. But I saw him say, &#8216;It&#8217;s Trump&#8217;s fault. Yeah, yeah, that&#8217;s right, it&#8217;s Trump&#8217;s fault.'&#8221;

Trump compared Schumer&#8217;s remarks to Jon Lovitz&#8217;s Saturday Night Live character Tommy Flanagan, the pathological liar.
&#8220;I actually saw that stupid guy try to blame it on me,&#8221; Trump said. &#8220;And I said, &#8216;Man, that&#8217;s a tough one to take.&#8217; But his career is limited, because I hear AOC is going to beat him, and she&#8217;s no bargain either, by the way.&#8221;
Schumer and other high-profile Democrats have suggested Trump&#8217;s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) might have exacerbated the crisis by reducing staff and funding from federal weather agencies.
In a letter, Schumer <a href="https://x.com/RossOKeefe2/status/1942180517396336816/photo/1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called</a> for an investigation into the National Weather Service on Monday to determine if staffing shortages &#8220;contributed to the massive loss of life and property.&#8221; He cited a New York Times report that said certain Texas forecasting and coordination positions were vacant.
&#8220;NYT further reports that the vacancy rate at many NWS offices nationwide has roughly doubled since President Trump returned to office — due in part to a wave of early retirements encouraged by the administration and a freeze on hiring,&#8221; Schumer&#8217;s letter said.
However, meteorologists have stated that cuts by the federal government did not impact flood warnings or responses, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/theres-no-evidence-to-suggest-doge-cuts-caused-texas-flood-devastation-meteorologists-say">reported</a>.
“There is little evidence that any of the recent cuts to NOAA/NWS negatively impacted services for this event, regardless of what may be being said on social media,” Alan Gerard, a former director of the Analysis and Understanding Branch in the National Severe Storms Laboratory at NOAA, <a href="https://balancedweather.substack.com/p/balancedwx-special-tragic-flash-flooding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said.</a>
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt also <a href="https://x.com/RealAmVoice/status/1942274920966414721">criticized</a> Schumer and &#8220;members of the media&#8221; for blaming Trump for the floods.
&#8220;Blaming President Trump for these floods is a depraved lie, and it serves no purpose during this time of national mourning,&#8221; Leavitt said.
More than 100 people have died in the Texas flash floods, including 28 children.

Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) irritated members of his own party by complaining about Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer&#8217;s (D-NY) move to force a clerk to read President Donald Trump&#8217;s One Big, Beautiful Bill in its entirety — and then complaining that the extra time spent on Capitol Hill had resulted in him missing out on a family vacation.
Schumer forced the move on Saturday, saying, &#8220;I will object to Republicans moving forward on their Big, Ugly Bill without reading it on the Senate floor. Republicans won’t tell America what’s in the bill. So Democrats are forcing it to be read start to finish on the floor. We will be here all night if that’s what it takes to read it.&#8221;
Fetterman made it clear that he was unhappy with the move from the start, saying, &#8220;It&#8217;s not like it&#8217;s pathetic to force the clerk to read it or anything.&#8221;

The delay apparently put the Pennsylvania senator off his family vacation at the beach, another development that left him none too pleased.
&#8220;Oh my God, I just want to go home,” the Pennsylvania Democrat told reporters on Monday. “I’ve already missed our entire trip to the beach, my family&#8217;s going to be back before we do … I’m going to vote no. There’s no drama that — we know [how] the votes are going to go. The only interesting votes are going to be on the margins, whether that&#8217;s Collins or Johnson, but all the Democrats, we all know how that&#8217;s going to go &#8230; I don’t think it’s really helpful to put people here until some ungodly hour.&#8221;

Criticisms aside, Fetterman is likely correct in his assessment that it will be the fringe votes that drive whether or not the One Big, Beautiful Bill makes it across the finish line.

President Donald Trump accused Democrats on Thursday of disclosing intelligence about the U.S. strike over the weekend, claiming the bombings on Iranian nuclear facilities did not fully destroy the sites after he declared they were &#8220;obliterated.&#8221;
In a post on Truth Social, Trump went so far as to suggest the culprits should face prosecution, although he did not name anyone in particular.
&#8220;The Democrats are the ones who leaked the information on the PERFECT FLIGHT to the Nuclear Sites in Iran. They should be prosecuted!&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114751173173020083" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>.
A probe is already underway after CNN, as well as The New York Times, reported on early intelligence claiming the bombings did not completely destroy the sites and set back Tehran&#8217;s nuclear program only by a few months.
&#8220;We’re doing a leak investigation with the FBI right now, because this information is for internal purposes, battle-damage assessments,&#8221; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rubio-hegseth-slam-media-over-iran-strike-leak-professional-stabbers-undermining-u-s-victory" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on Wednesday. &#8220;And CNN and others are trying to spin it to make the president look bad when this is an overwhelming success.&#8221;
The CIA and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard contend that further analysis <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/cia-reveals-intelligence-showing-u-s-destroyed-key-iranian-nuclear-facilities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">indicates</a> the facilities were in fact destroyed by the strike, which the Trump administration says was necessary to keep Iran from achieving nuclear weapons.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) <a href="https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/1938360522614649104" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> after a briefing on the Iran strike that it was clear the Trump administration lacked a &#8220;coherent strategy&#8221; and &#8220;no plan&#8221; for keeping Iran from getting a nuclear weapon. He also pushed for a war powers vote and more answers.
Earlier in the day, Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fire-everyone-involved-trump-unloads-on-media-after-hegseth-presser-on-iran-strikes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">assailed</a> the journalists from <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2025/06/24/politics/intel-assessment-us-strikes-iran-nuclear-sites" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CNN</a> and The <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/24/us/politics/iran-nuclear-sites.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Times</a> who reported on the early intelligence, relying on unnamed sources.
“FAKE NEWS REPORTERS FROM CNN &amp; THE NEW YORK TIMES SHOULD BE FIRED, IMMEDIATELY!!! BAD PEOPLE WITH EVIL INTENTIONS!!!” he <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114750055630968441" target="_blank" rel="noopener">exclaimed</a> in all capital letters on Truth Social.
Trump also threatened a defamation lawsuit against the news outlets, demanding they retract the stories and offer apologies for them, but CNN and The New York Times are <a href="https://x.com/CNNPR/status/1937954110302519517" target="_blank" rel="noopener">defending</a> their reporting.
&#8220;No retraction is needed. No apology will be forthcoming. We told the truth to the best of our ability. We will continue to do so,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/maxwelltani/status/1938352292807221619" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> New York Times lead newsroom attorney David McCraw.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/leavitt-debunks-completely-false-report-that-top-dems-not-given-advanced-notice-of-iran-strikes" target="_blank" rel="noopener">shot down</a> another CNN report over the weekend that claimed the Trump administration did not provide advanced notice of the strike to Democrat leaders in Congress, which led to a correction.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) went to the hospital and was treated for dehydration, his office said on Wednesday.
The announcement, which noted that Schumer had since returned to work on Capitol Hill, came as the greater Washington, D.C., area was in the midst of a heat wave, with temperatures reaching the mid-90s.
&#8220;Leader Schumer was at the Senate gym this morning and got lightheaded. Out of an abundance of caution, he went to the hospital to be treated for dehydration and is now back at work in the Capitol,&#8221; a spokesperson for the New York Democrat <a href="https://x.com/AndrewDesiderio/status/1937947659471622166" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a statement. &#8220;He wants to remind everyone to drink some water and stay out of the heat.&#8221;
NBC News reporter Frank Thorp V <a href="https://x.com/frankthorp/status/1937949234180812836" target="_blank" rel="noopener">noted</a> that Schumer, who is 74, had just attended a press conference in the U.S. Capitol but did not take any questions. Schumer delivered some remarks at the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdhsVtS0Qws" target="_blank" rel="noopener">event</a> with the families of victims from Continental Flight 3407 and left the room right afterwards.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a <a href="https://forecast.weather.gov/showsigwx.php?warnzone=VAZ054&amp;warncounty=VAC013&amp;firewxzone=VAZ054&amp;local_place1=2%20Miles%20N%20Fort%20Myer%20VA&amp;product1=Heat+Advisory&amp;lat=38.8774&amp;lon=-77.072" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bulletin</a> warning that a heat advisory was in effect for Wednesday until 9 p.m. for portions of D.C. and the surrounding region. Another heat advisory has been issued for Thursday from the late morning until the evening.
&#8220;Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors,&#8221; NWS said. &#8220;Take extra precautions when outside. Wear lightweight and loose fitting clothing. Try to limit strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Take action when you see symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke.&#8221;
Earlier on Wednesday, Schumer issued a <a href="https://x.com/chuckschumer/status/1937890929689420209" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> on X regarding Zohran Mamdani, a socialist who emerged victorious late on Tuesday in the Democratic Party&#8217;s New York City mayoral primary.
&#8220;I have known [Mamdani] since we worked together to provide debt relief for thousands of beleaguered taxi drivers &amp; fought to stop a fracked gas plant in Astoria. He ran an impressive campaign that connected with New Yorkers about affordability, fairness, &amp; opportunity,&#8221; Schumer said. &#8220;I spoke with [Mamdani] this morning and am looking forward to getting together soon.&#8221;

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt set the record straight after CNN reported over the weekend that the Trump administration did not provide advanced notice of the United States&#8217;s strike on three Iranian nuclear sites to Democrat leaders in Congress.
On Fox News, Leavitt said there was, in fact, outreach to both Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and the White House had the receipts to prove it.
&#8220;The White House made calls to congressional leadership. They were bipartisan calls. In fact, Hakeem Jeffries couldn&#8217;t be reached. We tried him before the strike and he didn&#8217;t pick up the phone,&#8221; Leavitt said during a &#8220;Fox &amp; Friends&#8221; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SidHwZUl8RY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Leavitt added that Jeffries was ultimately briefed after the strike, while Schumer was advised beforehand.
&#8220;This notion that CNN ran with that the White House did not give a heads up to Democrats is just completely false,&#8221; Leavitt said. &#8220;In fact, both Sen. Schumer&#8217;s office and CNN had to retract that story last night because it was a blatant lie and we showed them the timestamps from those phone calls.&#8221;
CNN did initially <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20250622041816/https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/21/politics/republicans-democrats-iran-strikes-briefings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> that no top Democrats were told of Trump&#8217;s plans until after the attack, but later <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2025/06/21/politics/republicans-democrats-iran-strikes-briefings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">updated</a> its headline and issued a correction to note that Schumer did receive a call prior to the strike after Leavitt initially <a href="https://x.com/PressSec/status/1936900039752012235" target="_blank" rel="noopener">called out</a> the news outlet on X.
Its revised story said that a source &#8220;conceded&#8221; Schumer had been called a little less than an hour before the attack &#8220;with little detail&#8221; and no mention of which country in which the action was taking place. NBC News reporter Julie Tsirkin <a href="https://x.com/news_jul/status/1936968929051898044" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cited</a> a Schumer aide who called the notification &#8220;perfunctory.&#8221;
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) defended Trump’s strike on Iran&#8217;s nuclear infrastructure and contended that top members of the legislature were notified.
&#8220;The President made the right call, and did what he needed to do. Leaders in Congress were aware of the urgency of this situation and the Commander-in-Chief evaluated that the imminent danger outweighed the time it would take for Congress to act,&#8221; Johnson <a href="https://x.com/SpeakerJohnson/status/1936602051431063760" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> on X.
He added: &#8220;The world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, which chants ‘Death to America,’ simply could not be allowed the opportunity to obtain and use nuclear weapons. The President fully respects the Article I power of Congress, and tonight’s necessary, limited, and targeted strike follows the history and tradition of similar military actions under presidents of both parties.&#8221;

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer made an attempt at renaming the Republican-led One Big Beautiful Bill on Wednesday, and the wave of backlash was almost immediate.
Schumer declared that President Donald Trump and Republicans were &#8220;lying&#8221; about what the bill would actually do — and claimed that a better name for it would be the &#8220;Well, We&#8217;re All Going To Die Act.&#8221; He then proceeded to argue that passing the bill would strip health care from 14 million Americans, cut 11 million people off from accessible food, and fund &#8220;tax cuts for billionaires on the backs of families.&#8221;

&#8220;Doesn’t this act get old? Everyone was going to die if we repealed net neutrality. Passing a Georgia law that expanded voter access was going to bring back segregation. Passing tax cuts will kill everyone. Even the emotional value is gone because no one takes it seriously,&#8221; AG Hamilton posted.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and President Donald Trump have both promised to foster and lead a United States Military that is less woke and more lethal than it has been in recent years, and reports published on Tuesday indicated that they have been hard at work on both fronts.
<a href="https://www.military.com/daily-news/2025/06/03/hegseth-orders-navy-strip-name-of-gay-rights-icon-harvey-milk-ship.html">Military.com</a> reported on Tuesday that Hegseth had ordered the U.S. Navy to strip the name of Harvey Milk from an oiler class ship. The ship was named for Milk, a gay rights activist, in 2016 by former President Barack Obama&#8217;s Navy Secretary Ray Mabus.

According to that report, a Defense Department official also confirmed that the timing of Hegseth&#8217;s order — just days into PRIDE Month — had been intentional.
Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) lashed out at Hegseth over the move, saying, &#8220;Erasing Harvey Milk’s name is disgusting, blatant discrimination—and during Pride Month to boot. He served the U.S. Navy and his country honorably, and he was assassinated while serving the public and fighting for LGBTQ+ rights. Hegseth should be ashamed of himself and reverse this immediately.&#8221;

LESS WOKE, MORE LETHAL: Military Hits Major Milestones Under Trump And Hegseth

On Thursday, the GOP-led Senate voted to overturn a Biden administration move that powered California&#8217;s green energy agenda for cars and trucks that 11 other states have <a href="https://ww2.arb.ca.gov/our-work/programs/advanced-clean-cars-program/states-have-adopted-californias-vehicle-regulations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sought</a> to adopt.
Fifty Republicans and one Democrat <a href="https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1191/vote_119_1_00277.htm#position" target="_blank" rel="noopener">banded together</a> to revoke the Clean Air Act waiver the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) <a href="https://www.axios.com/2024/12/18/epa-california-electric-vehicles-waiver" target="_blank" rel="noopener">granted</a> in December to the Golden State that allowed it to proceed with a plan to ban the sale of new gas-powered light-duty vehicles by 2035.
Because the Republican-controlled House already <a href="https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2025114?Date=05%2F01%2F2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> the resolution of disapproval, the measure now heads to President Donald Trump. California has signaled that it is prepared to file a legal challenge.
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), who is the chairwoman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, spearheaded the effort in the upper chamber to repeal the waiver.
&#8220;The impact of California’s waiver would have been felt across the country, harming multiple sectors of our economy and costing hundreds of thousands of jobs in the process,&#8221; Capito said in a <a href="https://www.capito.senate.gov/news/press-releases/senate-passes-capito-resolution-to-end-californias-ev-mandate" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. &#8220;I’m proud to have led this effort to protect American workers and consumers from this radical and drastic policy.&#8221;
President Donald Trump weighed in on the issue during his presidential campaign at a rally in Saginaw, Michigan.
“When I&#8217;m president, no state in America will be permitted to ban gas-powered cars or trucks, and I guarantee it,&#8221; Trump said.
Senate Republicans used the Congressional Review Act (CRA), which allows bypassing a filibuster to undo regulations, to pass the resolution. Under this process, Lawmakers also voted to strike down waivers related to emissions for heavier-duty vehicles.
The Government Accountability Office (<a href="https://www.gao.gov/products/b-337179" target="_blank" rel="noopener">GAO</a>) and Senate <a href="https://thehill.com/policy/energy-environment/5233436-senate-parliamentarian-says-lawmakers-cant-overturn-california-car-rules-but-republicans-may-try-anyway/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">parliamentarian</a> advised that the waivers are not rules that qualify for CRA, but The Hill <a href="https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/5312952-thune-creates-procedure-ev-mandate/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> on how Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) used a series of procedural votes to alleviate concerns by some of his GOP colleagues.
On X, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) accused Republicans of trying to &#8220;appease the fossil fuel industry.&#8221; He also <a href="https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/1925290705502577129" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> they were &#8220;hijacking the CRA process in a way that’s never been done before&#8221; and warned: &#8220;What goes around when you’re in the majority comes around when you’re back in the minority.&#8221;
The one Democrat who joined with Republicans and spurned California was Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI).
&#8220;Today, I voted to prevent California and the states that follow its standard from effectively banning gas-powered cars by 2035,&#8221; she <a href="https://x.com/SenatorSlotkin/status/1925590423944257939" target="_blank" rel="noopener">declared</a> in a statement. &#8220;Michigan is the auto capital of the world, and as Michigan&#8217;s U.S. Senator, I have a special responsibility to stand up for the more than one million Michiganders whose livelihoods depend on the U.S. auto industry.&#8221;
California Attorney General Rob Bonta, a Democrat, <a href="https://x.com/AGRobBonta/status/1925624592481026347" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> his state was ready to fight in court.
&#8220;Since the Senate is caving to the Trump Admin’s demands, we will sue to protect California’s longstanding authority to maintain clean vehicle standards,&#8221; Bonta said. &#8220;President Trump may be playing partisan games with lives and good paying jobs on the line — but California won’t back down.&#8221;

On Monday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) proposed legislation to discourage the Trump administration from receiving a roughly $400 million luxury aircraft known as the &#8220;Flying Palace&#8221; from Qatar and block money from being spent turning it into the next Air Force One.
Named the &#8220;Presidential Airlift Security Act of 2025,&#8221; the <a href="https://www.democrats.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/dav25917.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bill</a> would block the Department of Defense (DoD) from using funds allocated for fiscal years 2025 and 2026 to procure, modify, restore, or maintain aircraft previously owned by foreign governments or their representatives for presidential airlift purposes.
&#8220;Donald Trump has shown time and again — he will sell out the American people and the Presidency if it means filling his own pockets,&#8221; Schumer said in a <a href="https://www.democrats.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/following-the-largest-foreign-bribe-to-a-president-in-modern-history-leader-schumer-introduces-bill-to-prohibit-any-foreign-aircraft-from-being-used-as-air-force-one-retrofitting-and-constant-monitoring-of-qatari-plane-would-cost-american-taxpayers-billions-and-would-not-eliminate-all-catastrophic-risks-schumer-will-demand-vote-on-legislation-in-this-years-funding-bills-to-avoid-the-catastrophic_unimaginable-national-security-risks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>. &#8220;Not only would it take billions of taxpayer dollars to even attempt to retrofit and secure this plane, but there’s absolutely no amount of modifications that can guarantee it will be secure. It is now on the Senate to prioritize our national security, protect Americans, and ensure that a foreign-owned plane never gets the call sign &#8216;Air Force One.'&#8221;
It was first <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-defends-400-million-flying-palace-offered-as-gift-from-qatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">revealed</a> a little more than a week ago that President Donald Trump&#8217;s administration was in talks to obtain the Boeing 747-8 jumbo jet from the Qatari royal family. A wave of criticism, including from some who generally support Trump, ensued amid concerns about Qatar spending massive sums of money to gain influence in the United States and using its riches to bankroll the terrorist group Hamas and the Middle Eastern news powerhouse Al Jazeera. The oil-rich government also frequently invites politicians on state-funded junkets to the Middle East, where they are treated to all the luxuries that Qatar has to offer.
Schumer introduced his bill days after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/schumer-moves-to-inflict-pain-on-trump-over-400-million-flying-palace-from-qatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">placing</a> a hold on Trump&#8217;s political nominees for the Department of Justice (DOJ) until more clarity is given on the U.S. government&#8217;s plans to receive the jet. He also joined fellow Senate Democrats in <a href="https://www.schatz.senate.gov/news/press-releases/schatz-coons-lead-group-of-27-senators-in-introducing-resolution-to-condemn-400-million-airplane-gift-to-trump-from-qatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">unveiling</a> a resolution to condemn the idea, citing an ABC News report with sources <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-administration-poised-accept-palace-sky-gift-trump/story?id=121680511" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claiming</a> the aircraft would be transferred to Trump&#8217;s presidential library foundation shortly before the president leaves office.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt <a href="https://x.com/RichSementa/status/1924471578454016103" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> reporters on Monday the plane is &#8220;not a personal donation or gift&#8221; to the president and &#8220;everyone who wrote that last week should go and correct their stories.&#8221; She also said the donation would be &#8220;accepted according to all legal and ethical obligations&#8221; and the plane would be &#8220;retrofitted to the highest of standards by the Department of Defense and the United States Air Force.&#8221;
Trump, who visited Qatar last week during a Middle East swing and <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/05/14/boeing-qatar-trump-plane-deal.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attended</a> the signing ceremony for a deal in which Qatar Airways agreed to purchase up to 210 Boeing jets, dismissed the doubters in a <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114492082555622686" target="_blank" rel="noopener">post</a> on Truth Social.
&#8220;The Boeing 747 is being given to the United States Air Force/Department of Defense, NOT TO ME! It is a gift from a Nation, Qatar, that we have successfully defended for many years,&#8221; Trump <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114503203859060399" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;It will be used by our Government as a temporary Air Force One, until such time as our new Boeings, which are very late on delivery, arrive. Why should our military, and therefore our taxpayers, be forced to pay hundreds of millions of Dollars when they can get it for FREE from a country that wants to reward us for a job well done. This big savings will be spent, instead, to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Only a FOOL would not accept this gift on behalf of our Country. Thank you for your attention to this matter!&#8221;

Schumer Unveils Bill To Stop Trump From Turning Qatari Jet Into Air Force One

In the face of Democrat resistance, the GOP-led Senate has managed to confirm President Donald Trump&#8217;s civilian nominees twice as fast as it did during the first Trump administration.
As of May 15, the upper chamber has confirmed 67 <a href="https://www.congress.gov/quick-search/nominations?wordsPhrases=&amp;wordVariants=on&amp;congressGroups%5B0%5D=0&amp;congresses%5B0%5D=119&amp;nomCivil=on&amp;pnNumbers=&amp;nomineeNames=&amp;positions=&amp;organizations=&amp;stateTerritories%5B0%5D=any&amp;nominationAction=99&amp;dates=datesReceivedInSenate&amp;dateOperator=equal&amp;startDate=&amp;endDate=&amp;dateIsOption=yesterday&amp;pageSort=actionAsc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">civilian nominees</a>, more than double the 32 civilian nominees the Senate confirmed by the same date in 2017, and it beats the 52 civilian nominees confirmed by May 15 in 2021 during President Joe Biden&#8217;s first and only term.
Senate Republicans, who hold a <a href="https://www.senate.gov/history/partydiv.htm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">53-seat majority</a>, have confirmed several nominees this week as the House focuses on putting together Trump&#8217;s &#8220;one big, beautiful bill.&#8221; The 67th nominee was Sean Donahue, who was confirmed to become the assistant director of the EPA in a <a href="https://x.com/SenatePress/status/1923047477206261886" target="_blank" rel="noopener">51-46 vote</a> on Thursday.
While the pace may come down to a number of factors, including when Trump is announcing his nominees, Democrats have also sought to slow down the process through various means, including the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/schumer-intervenes-block-trumps-us-attorney-nominees" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&#8220;blue slip&#8221;</a> tradition which allows senators to block home-state judicial nominees.
On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/schumer-moves-to-inflict-pain-on-trump-over-400-million-flying-palace-from-qatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced</a> that he would place a hold on Trump&#8217;s political nominees for the Department of Justice (DOJ) until more clarity is given on the president&#8217;s controversial <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-defends-400-million-flying-palace-offered-as-gift-from-qatar" target="_blank" rel="noopener">plan</a> to receive a roughly $400 million luxury aircraft known as the &#8220;Flying Palace&#8221; from Qatar.
A hold requires Senate majority leadership to schedule floor votes for nominees, bypassing the faster unanimous consent process that would allow the upper chamber to confirm the president&#8217;s picks in batches, and there have been no voice vote confirmations so far this year.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngpt6czKdiw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a floor speech this week that he hoped Democrats would stop their &#8220;pointless obstruction&#8221; because allowing the upper chamber to confirm nominees would allow lawmakers more room to legislate and spend more time in their states.
“Democrats can drag out nominations all they want, but we’re going to fill out the president’s administration and ensure that his nominees get into place so that … he can do the job that he was elected to do,&#8221; Thune said.
The Senate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/senate-confirms-last-of-trump-2-0-cabinet-secretaries" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> all of the secretaries in Trump&#8217;s second-term Cabinet back in March. Trump withdrew his original pick for U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), and has since <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-shreds-media-portrayal-mike-waltz-switcheroo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tapped</a> Mike Waltz, who was his national security adviser, to become the nominee.

Senate GOP Breaks Through Dem ‘Obstruction’ On Trump 2.0 Civilian Nominees

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) refused to answer a question from CNN anchor Kasie Hunt about former President Joe Biden&#8217;s obvious cognitive decline, saying instead that he was &#8220;looking forward&#8221; and changing the subject to attack President Donald Trump.
In the context of the forthcoming book &#8220;Original Sin&#8221; — which explores Biden&#8217;s decline and the lengths to which the people around him went to cover it up — Hunt asked Schumer a question that essentially boiled down to the classic &#8220;what did you know, and when did you know it?&#8221;

&#8220;I really do want to ask you about something that has been breaking out of CNN, our Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson have written a book called &#8216;Original Sin&#8217; and they call it a cover-up of Biden&#8217;s health and his cognition and his fitness, quite frankly, to be President of the United States,&#8221; Hunt began, and she noted that Schumer had met with Biden on a number of occasions in the months leading up to the disastrous debate on CNN in late June.
&#8220;Did you really not have any idea that he was not fit to serve a second term?&#8221; she asked.
&#8220;Kasie, we&#8217;re looking forward,&#8221; Schumer replied. &#8220;We have the largest Medicaid cut in front of us, we have the whole federal government at risk —&#8221;
Hunt interrupted then, reminding Schumer that the entire premise of the book was that Biden&#8217;s apparent lack of fitness — and his insistence upon running anyway — may be the reason Democrats were dealing with a second term under President Donald Trump.
&#8220;We&#8217;re looking forward,&#8221; Schumer said again, making it clear that he had no intention whatsoever of addressing her question.
According to the book, Schumer actually <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/kamalas-team-tosses-biden-under-the-bus-blames-him-for-2024-loss" target="_blank" rel="noopener">met with Biden</a> in Rehoboth Beach after the debate in June, warning him that if he did not choose to exit the presidential race gracefully, he was likely to lose to Trump and sully 50 years of public service.
