A New York City Republican councilwoman who serves as the body&#8217;s minority whip said Jewish residents are “petrified” that Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani will win the election in November.
Inna Vernikov, who is Jewish and flipped District 48 in Brooklyn from Democrat to Republican for the first time in 2021, spoke to Fox News Digital.
 “This is a guy who wants to globalize the intifada,” she asserted. “We&#8217;ve never seen anything close to this in New York City. We have the largest Jewish population in America, and I&#8217;ll tell you: Jews are telling me they&#8217;re going to run away from New York City. And Jews have contributed a lot to the city and to this country, and the idea that they are now afraid to live here? It&#8217;s unacceptable and unprecedented really, this has never happened here.&#8221;
“New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Sunday again declined to condemn the phrase ‘globalize the intifada,’” Politico <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/29/zohran-mamdani-globalize-the-intifada-00432052">reported</a> on June 29.
“Is there going to be an Israel Day parade?” Vernikov asked. “This guy despises Israel. He’s also quite antisemitic. To say that he’s okay with globalizing the intifada? The intifada is a call for violence. We’ve seen what happened during two intifadas; people who were murdered; innocent people lost their lives. It’s dangerous; he’s going to not just allow, he’s going to encourage these violent riots that we’ve seen across the country. People are petrified, and they’re going to leave.”
“I&#8217;m curious, I have a question,” Vernikov said. “If this Democratic nominee would be like a KKK member or would call for annihilation of the black community, would they still, you know, come behind him as hard as they are now? I would think that the answer would be no, but when it comes to the Jews, that&#8217;s okay.”
“So it&#8217;s really hypocritical, unacceptable, and disgusting, and they&#8217;ve been endorsing him one by one,” she noted. “While Republicans are fighting antisemitism on behalf of Jewish Americans every day, the Democrats are supporting an antisemite.”
Mamdani has been endorsed by Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY) and has received congratulations from Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY). He founded Bowdoin College’s chapter of the virulently anti-Israel group Students for Justice in Palestine. In 2021, he <a href="https://x.com/JCAndersonNYC/status/1923767167062864350">led a rally</a> to chant in favor of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement that seeks to isolate the state of Israel. His father, Mahmood, a professor at Columbia University, has championed a “third intifada.”
The First Palestinian Intifada lasted from 1987 to 1990, and the Second Intifada from 2000 to 2005.
According to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Institute_for_Counter-Terrorism">International Institute for Counter-Terrorism</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civilian_casualties_in_the_Second_Intifada">during</a> the Second Intifada, 887 of the 1,137 Israelis killed in attacks were civilians.
Just between May 2001 and May 2002, prior to the bombing at Hebrew University, there were these massacres: five Israelis murdered by a suicide bomber at the HaSharon Mall in May 2001; 21 Israelis murdered by a suicide bomber at the Dolphinarium Discotheque in June 2001; 15 Israelis murdered by a suicide bomber at Sbarro’s Pizza in August 2001, including six children and a 31-year-old woman who was the only child of her parents and was five months pregnant; 11 Israelis murdered in a bus bombing on Ben Yehuda Street in Jerusalem on December 1, 2001; 15 more Israelis murdered the very next day in a Haifa suicide bombing; 11 more Israelis murdered in a bus attack 10 days later in Immanuel; six Israelis murdered in an attack at a bat-mitzvah in January 2002; 11 more Jews killed in an attack on a yeshiva in March 2002, including a five-month-old child; 11 Jews murdered in a bombing at Café Moment in March 2002; 30 Israelis killed as they celebrated Passover in Netanya on March 27, 2002; 16 Israelis murdered in a suicide bombing four days later at the Matza restaurant, and 16 Israelis murdered in Rishon LeZion in May 2002.

Many of us fondly remember the days when late-night talk show hosts like Johnny Carson and Jay Leno came into our living rooms every night with one goal in mind: to entertain as many people as possible through laughter.
But with the rise of Donald Trump, late-night comedy shows morphed into nightly attacks on the man over 77 million Americans sent to the White House. Every evening for years now, Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel subjected their audiences to non-stop Trump bashing.
It’s vicious, relentless, and, worst of all, not funny.
These “comics” came to view their platforms not as vehicles to entertain a broad spectrum of the American public, but rather a podium from which to blast out their ultra-left politics and Stage 4 Trump Derangement, while cloaking themselves in obnoxiously self-righteous sanctimony along the way.
As anyone who suffered through their childishly acrimonious monologues could attest, if you hated Trump in particular, or anyone to the right of Che Guevara in general, you found comfort in the acid bath of antipathy that came spewing from your screen courtesy of hosts who we were told were comics.
But things might be changing.
Last week, Colbert announced that CBS had cancelled his show, and that they would not replace him. One imagines that Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Seth Meyers — none of whom are bringing in audiences — will be canned imminently.
Many have met the demise of Colbert — a man whose idea of comedy was dancing hypodermic needles to push a government narrative in a manner that would make Pravda blush — marks the end of late-night talk shows as a whole. But are they really dead? Or is it just the DNC propaganda machine version of these shows bound for extinction?
As I <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-sad-politicization-of-late-night-television" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> a while back while lamenting the death of the genuine late-night comedy of Carson — whose last show in May 1992 was watched by an astounding 50 million Americans — several times over the years I did make a sincere effort to watch Colbert or Kimmel.
They were funny on The Daily Show and The Man Show respectively. And I’m willing to be entertained by a truly funny Trump joke. But the level of sheer vitriol and ugliness masquerading as humor on these shows made them impossible to watch. So did the monotony: late night hosts just kept coming at the guy, one Trump assault after another after another. On Colbert one night I literally counted five Trump “jokes” in a row in the opening monologue before I finally had to turn him off. Not because it offended my politics, or my feelings. But rather because it failed to make me laugh. Why else would anyone tune in?
For example, a recent Colbert monologue about Trump sending in the National Guard to quell anti-ICE street violence in California featured the following:
“What’s going on in LA reminds us that it is crucial to speak out against Trump’s fascist impulses, his rampant corruption, and his egregious violations of our norms and our laws…The last time a president bypassed a governor to send in the National Guard was 1965 when LBJ used troops to protect civil rights demonstrators in Alabama. So, we’ve come full circle. Troops were used to protect protesters by Lyndon B. Johnson. Now they’re being used to harass protesters by Donald B. D***.”
Crickets. Cough. Scraping chair leg.
Who needs to tune in to a DNC stump speech after a long day at work? What normal American wants to be subjected to an obsequious Colbert slobbering over guest Adam Schiff while the serial liar looks at the camera and says in his toughest beta male milquetoast persona: “Donald, piss off”? Hmmm. Maybe I’ll just read a few pages of a book before I turn in.
Hang on to your seat, because the laughs just kept on coming.
Consider such comedy gold as his declaring that the Iran strike didn’t take out all their centrifuges, whether true or not. Colbert said it was “less Operation Midnight Hammer and more Operation M.C. Hammer.” Huh? That barely makes sense, let alone makes people laugh. This is the best his team of 24 writers could come up with?
Despite the predictable howls from the usual suspects — for whom late-night hosts are the pharmacies for their daily dose of TDS — Colbert was not fired because he criticized Trump. It was really just a matter of dollars and cents.
Colbert attracts 2.2 million viewers on average; Kimmel 1.7 million; Fallon, just 1.19 million. Colbert and Kimmel average just over 200,000 in the key demographic of viewers 25-54.
Tellingly, these represent just 60% of numbers put up by the Fox Network’s late-night competitor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/greg-gutfeld-the-new-undisputed-king-of-late-night" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Greg Gutfeld Show</a>.
And then there’s production budgets, really the heart of the matter. Colbert’s show costs more than $100 million a year to produce, including Colbert’s $15 million salary. The problem for Colbert is that his show only brings in roughly $60 million in annual ad revenue.
Megyn Kelly, a former Fox TV host herself, estimates that Gutfeld’s budget for his successful forum is around $10 million. This doesn’t include his salary; the last numbers I saw shows Fox pays their unsung late-night star $7 million annually.
So, even if the total cost of the Greg Gutfeld Show is around $20 million, that’s still a fraction of the cost of legacy media’s failing late-night offerings. Which means there is still a way to make the late night format profitable.
Like its rivals, The Greg Gutfeld Show is certainly political in nature. Gutfeld isn’t Carson, and conservatives will likely feel more at home with Gutfeld and his rotating panel of conservative hosts. But unlike the other shows, Gutfeld is also entertaining, light-hearted, self-effacing, and, most importantly, funny.
In a way, Colbert’s demise is an apt metaphor for the sinking fortunes of the Democrat Party itself. You cannot alienate so many in a market without someone else seeing the opportunity your disregard presents while you steadily lose viewers, and influence. Whether one loves or hates Fox, they have a winning late-night formula that the mainstream media has abandoned by prioritizing divisive politics over entertainment.
Mike Wallace once asked Johnny Carson why he never got into serious subjects. Carson’s response is worth remembering:
<blockquote>“That’s not what I’m there for. Can’t they see that? Why do they think that just because you have a Tonight Show that you must deal in serious issues? That’s a danger. That’s a real danger. Once you start that, you start to get that self-important feeling that what you say has great import. And, you know, strangely enough, you could use that show as a forum, you could sway people. And I don’t think you should, as an entertainer.”</blockquote>
The legacy media should take Johnny’s advice. If they choose to go down the self-destructive path forged by Colbert and his ilk, then good riddance.

New York City Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani —who openly espouses socialist positions and makes statements reminiscent of Karl Marx — received harsh criticism after a video surfaced showing him saying that in the past, he had stopped working and relied on his parents’ money.
“I worked until January, and then I took time away from my job, and one of the major reasons I could do so was because I knew that if I ran out of my savings, my family would be able to support me,” he stated.

Mamdani’s father is a hard-Left professor at Columbia University, and his mother is a successful filmmaker who once owned a $2 million Chelsea loft in New York City, according to the <a href="https://nypost.com/2025/07/03/real-estate/as-mamdani-targets-nycs-wealthy-in-tax-plan-spotlight-turns-to-mothers-2m-chelsea-loft/">New York Post</a>. “Mamdani attended <a title="https://www.westsiderag.com/2025/03/26/before-zohran-mamdani-made-waves-in-nycs-mayoral-race-he-was-a-kid-growing-up-on-the-uws" href="https://www.westsiderag.com/2025/03/26/before-zohran-mamdani-made-waves-in-nycs-mayoral-race-he-was-a-kid-growing-up-on-the-uws" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bank Street, a prestigious Manhattan private school</a> that now costs as much as $66,000 a year for elementary school students, before graduating from the Bronx High School of Science, one of the city’s best public schools.

Mamdani’s own job history is sketchy, to put it mildly. “Mr. Mamdani’s résumé is comparatively slight,” The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/06/10/nyregion/mamdani-age-mayor-young.html">reported.</a> “The son of a renowned filmmaker and academic, he bounced among gigs — working on one of his mother’s movies, as a rapper, a campaign organizer, a part-time tutor and a foreclosure counselor — before winning a seat in the Assembly in 2020.”

Democrat Rep. Stephen Lynch (MA) on Thursday lashed out at President Donald Trump and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, comparing the agents to Nazis and their secret police known as the Gestapo.
During a hearing on &#8220;sanctuary&#8221; policies, Lynch called ICE agents &#8220;thugs&#8221; who were committing &#8220;abductions&#8221; in a way reminiscent of the Gestapo &#8220;grabbing people off the streets of Poland.&#8221;
&#8220;It does look like a Gestapo operation! It does look like the Gestapo!&#8221; Lynch yelled, describing one alleged ICE encounter. &#8220;That&#8217;s an appropriate comparison. That&#8217;s exactly what it was like!&#8221;
Notably, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) recently <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/05/19/dhs-hits-back-tim-walzs-dangerous-rhetoric-comparing-ice-gestapo">compared</a> ICE agents as to the Gestapo, as well.
&#8220;Trump isn&#8217;t trying to protect us, he&#8217;s trying to divide us,&#8221; Lynch charged. &#8220;It&#8217;s us and them, he&#8217;s trying to divide us. &#8230; He&#8217;s pitting neighbor against neighbor.&#8221;
The Democrat then said he was fighting Nazis, like his father did during WWII.
&#8220;Ya know my dad served in the Second World War, he fought the Nazis. He fought the Nazis in Northern Africa, he fought the Nazis on the Italian peninsula,&#8221; Lynch said. &#8220;I think he&#8217;s looking down right now and he&#8217;s happy that I&#8217;m fighting today&#8217;s Nazis! He&#8217;s proud of that, we all should be.&#8221;

During the same hearing, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) grilled New York Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul over crimes committed by illegal aliens, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/stefanik-blasts-ny-gov-at-migrant-crime-hearing-a-5-year-old-was-raped?topStoryPosition=undefined&amp;author=Amanda+Prestigiacomo&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=1&amp;row=1&amp;rowHeadline=Top+Stories&amp;rowType=Top+Stories&amp;title=Stefanik+Blasts+NY+Gov+At+Migrant+Crime+Hearing%3A+‘A+5-Year-Old…Was+Raped%21’" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Wire</a> reported.
In one testy exchange, Stefanik highlighted executive orders signed by Hochul that maintain New York as a sanctuary state, before listing a series of heinous crimes committed by illegals, including the violent sexual assault of minors and one illegal immigrant burning a sleeping woman alive on the subway.
“You are not advocating on behalf of these victims,” Stefanik said. “You are shielding illegals. Even in your opening statement, you prioritize putting illegals first.”

Journalist Megyn Kelly weighed in on former White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre announcing that she was leaving the Democratic party and becoming an independent.
“You&#8217;ve got to be kidding me. … What a lie. … She&#8217;s going to tell us what it&#8217;s like to be an independent?” Kelly said on Wednesday’s episode of “The Megyn Kelly Show.” She went on to explain her own history as an independent, describing Jean-Pierre’s abrupt rebranding as having the “stank of desperation,” considering how she worked for the Obama and Biden administrations. 
“She ran for the hills trying to pretend she knows what independence is,” Kelly added.
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Karine Jean-Pierre Writes Book Rebranding Herself as &quot;Independent,&quot; w/ Halperin, Spicer, Turrentine" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rCDFQRVStFM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Kelly went on to speak on others who had been in the role and how Jean-Pierre compares.
“You have had press secretaries &#8230; Dana Perino, Kayleigh McEnany, Tony Snow back in the day &#8230; who are smart people. Who are not, really, let&#8217;s face it, utter morons who are just out there as mouthpiece,” Kelly said. 
She added, “Obviously. Karoline Leavitt … very smart person. But Karine Jean Pierre is not on the list. All right? Even Jen Psaki, she&#8217;s not a moron, but Karine Jean Pierre is a total moron. You only need to have watched her for two days to pick that up.”

“There is literally nobody in the country who wants to hear her political analysis on anything,” Kelly said. 
The journalist was reacting to the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-press-sec-karine-jean-pierre-says-shes-leaving-democrats-selling-inside-look-at-broken-wh">news</a> of Jean-Pierre’s new memoir, “Independent: A Look Inside a Broken White House, Outside the Party Lines.” 
“In a country obsessed with blind loyalty to a two-party democratic system, Karine Jean-Pierre, former White House press secretary to the Biden-Harris administration, shares why Americans must step beyond party lines to embrace life as Independents (sic),” the book description says. “Jean-Pierre didn’t come to her decision to be an Independent (sic) lightly. She has served two American presidents, Obama and Biden.” 
In the book, Jean-Pierre “urges Americans to think outside of the blue-and-red box as we consider what’s next to save our democracy,” per the description.

According to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20210423141050/https:/projects.fivethirtyeight.com/biden-congress-votes/house/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">fivethirtyeight</a>, he voted 100% of the time with former President Joe Biden. He won decisively in every congressional election except in 2010, when he narrowly defeated his GOP opponent.
“It is with immense sadness that we share that our devoted and loving father, husband, brother, friend, and public servant, Congressman Gerald E. Connolly, passed away peacefully at his home this morning surrounded by family,” read a statement from Connolly&#8217;s family.

Connolly, as a top Democrat on the Oversight committee, became well-known for his outspoken opposition to President Donald Trump.
In April 2019, Connelly <a href="https://transcripts.cnn.com/show/sitroom/date/2019-04-25/segment/02" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke</a> on CNN’s “The Situation Room” with host Wolf Blitzer. He called President Trump “the soulless occupant of the Oval Office,” then referred to the “amoral narcissistic kind of tendencies coming out of that office.” Meanwhile, he said of Joe Biden, “You can give him a complex subject and he get to the heart of it faster than anybody I know. The idea that he is not an intelligent man is simply false. And Mr. Trump is going to learn that the hard way.”
In December 2019, Connolly voted to impeach President Trump, <a href="https://connolly.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=3724" target="_blank" rel="noopener">saying:</a>
<blockquote>To extort a foreign country to investigate your political opponent is an unconstitutional abuse of power. To solicit foreign interference in an American election is an unconstitutional abuse of power. &#8230; The delicate balance of power that underpins our democracy is threatened when a President disregards the Constitution by obstructing Congress to cover up illegal behavior. In doing that, President Trump violated his oath.</blockquote>
In April 2024, when some Republicans considered the idea of renaming Dulles Airport in Washington D.C. after Trump, Connolly reacted, “Donald Trump is facing 91 felony charges. If Republicans want to name something after him, I&#8217;d suggest they find a federal prison.”

Senator Patty Murray (D-WA) did her best to force feed her pre-selected narrative into FBI Director Kash Patel&#8217;s mouth during a Thursday hearing — but when Patel immediately called her out, refusing to take the bait, Murray substituted her own testimony for his.
Murray began by questioning Patel about whether or not he was &#8220;weaponizing&#8221; the FBI, prompting him to lay out a series of the bureau&#8217;s more recent cases as evidence that the men and women of the FBI were doing their jobs and doing them well.

&#8220;That&#8217;s not my question,&#8221; Murray interrupted. &#8220;We know that —&#8221;
&#8220;Well, you asked if I was weaponizing the FBI and I am not,&#8221; Patel pushed back. &#8220;I&#8217;m giving you the hard concrete examples of the men and women putting handcuffs on bad people doing harm to our children and innocent Americans. I do not see weaponization.&#8221;
&#8220;But you have placed on leave FBI employees responsible for the investigation of January 6th,&#8221; Murray asserted. &#8220;That sounds political to me.&#8221;
&#8220;I have not placed anyone on leave who has not violated their ethical obligation or their oath to the Constitution,&#8221; Patel replied.
&#8220;So &#8230; if they were investigating January 6th, you believe they were violating an ethic — obligation —&#8221; Murray tried again.
&#8220;No,&#8221; Patel said. &#8220;I think the common theme is you putting words in my mouth, and I’m not going to tolerate it, nor will the men and women of the FBI.&#8221;
Murray pressed onward: &#8220;Well, you did place on leave an analyst responsible for investigating Russia&#8217;s meddling in the 2016 election. Is that politicization? Is that retribution?&#8221;
&#8220;No. Not if she broke the law or the ethical guidelines,&#8221; Patel shot back. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know which case you&#8217;re talking about, but that&#8217;s the standard, and we will hold ourselves inwardly accountable and we will not be strayed from our mission because people think we are &#8216;politicizing&#8217; the bureau.&#8221;
&#8220;If you want to talk about someone who was attacked by a weaponized bureau, you’re looking at him. And now he’s the Director of the FBI and he&#8217;s cleaning it up,&#8221; Patel continued.
Murray, upon realizing that she was not going to be able to get Patel to say what she wanted him to, shifted gears then and testified herself.
&#8220;I would just say to everyone who&#8217;s listening that the FBI needs to be focused on its mission to keep the entire country safe,&#8221; she said, giving no evidence that the bureau, under Patel, was not doing exactly that. &#8220;It should not be weaponized for partisan political gain. Thank you.&#8221;

WASHINGTON—President Donald Trump will sign a presidential memorandum targeting ActBlue for potentially unlawful activities, a White House document shared with The Daily Wire shows.
The president&#8217;s order directs the Justice Department to crack down on illegal &#8220;straw donor&#8221; and foreign contributions in United States elections, the document said, and instructs Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate allegations regarding online fundraising platforms that make &#8220;straw&#8221; or &#8220;dummy&#8221; contributions or foreign contributions to political candidates or committees. Bondi will report the results of her investigation to President Trump.
The memorandum will specifically mention a congressional investigation showing &#8220;significant fraud schemes&#8221; using ActBlue, the Democratic Party&#8217;s major donation platform, as well as hundreds of ActBlue donations from foreign IP addresses using prepaid cards during the 2024 election cycle, &#8220;despite it being illegal for foreign nationals to contribute to U.S. elections.&#8221;
The move is aimed at addressing the actions of &#8220;malign actors and foreign nationals&#8221; who want to illegally influence American elections,&#8221; the White House said, alleging that recently uncovered evidence points to online fundraising platforms being used to &#8220;launder excessive and prohibited contributions to political candidates and committees.&#8221;
ActBlue CEO Regina Wallace Jones had warned of the coming move in an email to &#8220;trusted friends of ActBlue,&#8221; <a href="https://punchbowl.news/article/washington/actblue-warns-trump-eo/">writing in a Wednesday letter obtained by Punchbowl</a> &#8220;that the Trump administration was going to issue an Executive Order (EO) aimed at ActBlue,&#8221; and assuring recipients that &#8220;Our team sprung into action and made every preparation from a legal and communications perspective.&#8221;
&#8220;We are ready for whatever is next from the Far Right,&#8221; she wrote, adding that &#8220;we feel the weight of democracy resting on our shoulders.&#8221;

Trump To Sign Order Targeting Dem Fundraising Giant ActBlue For Illegal Campaign Donations

Nadine Menendez, the wife of former Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ), was convicted on Monday of accepting bribes in a scheme that involved her husband while he was chairing one of the most powerful committees in the Senate.
The 58-year-old wife of the former senator was found guilty on 15 counts in the same New York courtroom where her husband was convicted last year, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-04-21/bob-menendez-s-wife-convicted-of-bribery-scheme?srnd=homepage-americas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. Prosecutors said that Nadine and her 71-year-old husband, who was sentenced to 11 years in prison, were &#8220;partners in crime.&#8221;
Nadine&#8217;s charges included bribery, obstruction of justice, and conspiring to make Bob Menendez an agent of Egypt, according to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/21/nyregion/nadine-bob-menendez-wife-guilty-bribery-trial.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a>. During her husband&#8217;s time in office, Nadine helped Menendez collect bribes, including cash, gold bars, and a Mercedes-Benz. In return, the former Democratic senator who chaired the Senate Foreign Relations Committee pushed for military aid for the Egyptian government and helped secure a monopoly for an Egyptian American businessman, according to prosecutors.
“This is about the defendant being partners in crime with a U.S. senator, helping a politician put his power up for sale,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Paul Monteleoni said during closing arguments last week. “When there’s money on the line for her, the defendant sprung into action to get Menendez to take an official act or to promise that he would.”
The jury ultimately agreed with the prosecution after deliberating for over six hours. Nadine is scheduled to be sentenced on June 12. She faced a separate trial from her husband as she battled breast cancer. Last month, the former senator said it was &#8220;cruel and inhumane&#8221; to start the trial for Nadine while she struggles with breast cancer.
&#8220;My wife, who had breast cancer reconstructive surgery just days ago, is being forced by the government to go to trial tomorrow. Only the arrogance of the SDNY [Southern District of New York] can be so cruel and inhumane. They should let her fully recover!&#8221; Menendez <a href="https://x.com/SenatorMenendez/status/1901646953290568135" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a>.
The couple began dating in 2018 and were married in 2020. During former Sen. Menendez&#8217;s trial, his lawyers attempted to shift blame to Nadine for accepting bribes without his knowledge. Menendez&#8217;s attorney, Avi Weitzman, argued that Nadine &#8220;kept him in the dark&#8221; about her financial struggles, and the couple had separate bank accounts and credit cards.
During a raid in 2022, authorities found hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and gold bars in a closet and seized a Mercedes at the couple&#8217;s New Jersey home. Lawyers for former Sen. Menendez argued that he did not have a key to his wife&#8217;s closet. Menendez remained in his Senate seat following the bribery charges and throughout the trial. He finally resigned from the Senate after the guilty verdict.
The former Democratic senator is <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/biden-sen-bob-menendez-seeks-pardon-trump-rcna188214" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly</a> seeking a pardon from President Donald Trump after he failed to get clemency from former President Joe Biden.

One Democrat in Congress broke ranks to offer praise of President Donald Trump&#8217;s &#8220;Liberation Day&#8221; tariffs.
Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME), who hails from a <a href="https://apnews.com/article/maine-house-congress-golden-theriault-bb072ca55aaab2ebae3fb8b6339cb545" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hotly-contested</a> district and has a <a href="https://www.govtrack.us/congress/members/jared_golden/412842/report-card/2024" target="_blank" rel="noopener">track record</a> of cooperating with Republicans, endorsed the 10% baseline in the new tariff plan. The lower-end rate matches the one Golden put forward in a <a href="https://golden.house.gov/media/press-releases/golden-introduces-legislation-to-establish-universal-10-percent-tariff" target="_blank" rel="noopener">bill</a> earlier this year, the congressman noted.
&#8220;President Trump has introduced a number of new tariff policies, and I and my team are already digging into the details. I’ll have more to say on the specifics in the next few days,&#8221; Golden said in a <a href="https://golden.house.gov/media/press-releases/golden-statement-on-president-trump-s-tariffs-announcements" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a>.
&#8220;What I can say now is I’m pleased the president is building his tariff agenda on the foundation of a universal 10 percent tariff like the one I proposed in the BUILT USA Act,&#8221; he added. &#8220;This ring fence around the American economy is a good start to erasing our unsustainable trade deficits.&#8221;
Many congressional Democrats have spent the past day criticizing the new tariffs, which impose rates up to 50% on imports from dozens of countries.
&#8220;Trump&#8217;s tariffs are one of the dumbest decisions he has ever made as president—and that’s saying something,&#8221; Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) <a href="https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/1907835779218653350" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a post on X.
Some lawmakers on Capitol Hill have even <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bipartisan-pair-in-senate-moves-to-check-trump-on-tariffs" target="_blank" rel="noopener">taken steps</a> toward reining in Trump’s tariffs, although these efforts also face challenges.
Taking a more constructive approach, Golden offered to assist the Trump administration while agreeing with the president&#8217;s <a href="https://x.com/DHSgov/status/1907778962819829812" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stance</a> that decades of unfair trade practices have harmed the United States industrial base and American workers.
&#8220;I&#8217;m eager to work with the president to fix the broken ‘free trade’ system that made multinational corporations rich but ruined manufacturing communities across the country,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But tariffs must be paired with policies that prioritize American families’ prosperity.&#8221;
Golden also pushed for an approach that &#8220;benefits working people&#8221; and renegotiating trade deals like the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), which Trump signed into law in 2018, &#8220;to support the Americans who are ready to ramp up production and support the rebuilding of our middle class — like the sawmills, processing plants, fishermen and farmers in the communities&#8221; he represents.

Several House Democrats met with Education Secretary Linda McMahon on Wednesday, and followed the meeting with a press conference outside the Education Department — a press conference they clearly did not expect McMahon to crash.
Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT) shared video from the press conference that showed Rep. Frederica Wilson (D-FL) mocking the parental rights advocacy group Moms for Liberty and suggesting that they&#8217;d be unequipped to set education policy or create curricula without the oversight of the federal Department of Education.
&#8220;WATCH: House Democrats use an open discussion on education reform with @EdSecMcMahon to smear parents who want more involvement in their child’s education and spread lies about the “erasing of Black history” that is 100% NOT HAPPENING,&#8221; Owens posted along with the clip. &#8220;What a disgusting political stunt.&#8221;

&#8220;So why do we need a Department of Education?&#8221; she asked. &#8220;Let these Moms of Liberty write our curriculum. Let these Moms of Liberty tell us how to educate our children. Let these Moms of Liberty tell us that you should not teach black history, that you should wipe the pages clean. Remember now, this is a conversation that&#8217;s been going on for about 12 years.&#8221;
A short time later, while Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM) complained that there was no real plan and that no one was going to &#8220;really protect our students,&#8221; McMahon herself joined the press conference, and the tone immediately shifted.
&#8220;She is here, perhaps I should give her the podium. We&#8217;re extraordinarily grateful that the Secretary gave us the space to have these conversations but, with all due respect, Madam, I think my biggest concern is that the states will not be able to protect the programs and services.&#8221;
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Secretary McMahon then took to the podium and promptly reiterated the case she has made since day one in office for transferring education policy power away from the federal Department of Education and into more local jurisdictions.
&#8220;I just want to express my gratitude to all of these folks who came today so that we could have an open discussion about what I believe is one of the most important things that we can have a discussion on or action on in our country, and that is the education of our young people,&#8221; McMahon said, noting that the next generation of leaders and scientists and doctors and lawyers were being educated now.
&#8220;I believe, and I know the president does believe this as well, the best education is that that is closest to the child, where teachers and parents, local superintendents, working together, and local school boards, to develop the curriculum for those students is the best way that it can happen,&#8221; she said.

Former first lady Michelle Obama opened up about her marriage to former President Barack Obama and said she is &#8220;not interested&#8221; in ever running for office. 
During her appearance on Kylie Kelce’s “Not Gonna Lie” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx9-v_cD8IY">podcast</a>, Michelle talked about being married to Barack since 1992, and said one area where they don’t agree is bedtime.
“Bedtime is the best time of the day,” <a href="https://x.com/nglwithkylie/status/1902389606999335409" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the former first lady said</a>. “My husband teases me about how early I can go to bed. He just doesn’t understand.”

Michelle reflected on getting into “some good sheets” at night when it’s “cool.&#8221; But she insisted that if they have guests, she’s “game” and will stay up later.
“I’m talking but, you know, the minute we finish up, I’m just trying not to go to bed before the sun goes down,” Michelle added before sharing that her ideal bedtime is “anytime after dinner.”
The comments came following weeks of rumors about the Obama&#8217;s marital struggles, which were fueled by Michelle’s absence alongside Barack at former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral and President Donald Trump’s second inauguration.
Later in the interview, Michelle made it clear she wants to stay as far away from politics as she can, pointing to their daughters Malia, 26, and Sasha, 23, as the main reason.
“I was so glad when we got out of the White House,” the 61-year-old said, referencing when the Obamas family left the White House in 2017. “I wanted them [her daughters] to have the freedom of not having the eyes of the world on them.”
“They still are dealing with paparazzi and being who they are and trying to carve out their own identity,” she added. “So, when people ask me, would I ever run [for office], the answer is no. If you ask me that, then you have absolutely no idea [of] the sacrifice that your kids make when your parents are in that role.”
“Not only am I not interested in politics in that way but the thought of putting my girls back into that spotlight when they are just now establishing themselves, you know, I think we’ve done enough,” Michelle continued. “Question asked and answered. Never going to happen. They’ve already served their time. … It would be unthinkable. Nope.”
Despite the comments, Michelle was involved in the 2024 election, though an insider previously shared that the former first lady “showed up reluctantly for the election,” <a href="https://pagesix.com/2025/03/19/celebrity-news/michelle-obama-reveals-point-of-contention-with-barack-after-divorce-rumors/">Page Six</a> reported.
“They were united, but she doesn’t have to unify around [Trump],” the insider said in reference to her absence from Trump&#8217;s inauguration. “She doesn’t have to say anything. Her absence speaks volumes.”
