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;

Critics then turned on Fetterman, complaining that he was so worried about a family vacation that he didn&#8217;t care about working for the people who elected him.

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.

Anyone following the news in recent months has likely heard that there is a constitutional crisis going on. Anyone paying close attention, not to the hysterical headlines but to the actual legal issues at play, should understand that there is indeed a constitutional crisis, but it has nothing to do with Trump being a tyrant. No, the real crisis is not in the executive branch. The crisis stems from <a href="https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript#3">Article III</a> of the U.S. Constitution, which states that “The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.” (emphasis added). In case it isn’t clear, judicial power is invested in the Supreme Court. All other federal courts are created by statute (they have no necessary constitutional right to exist) and are inferior to the Supreme Court.
Yet, an observer might be forgiven for thinking this is not the case. The federal district courts (which have jurisdiction over a particular district within a state and are subject to the rulings of the higher courts, especially the U.S. Supreme Court) seem to have almost unlimited control over the rule of law in America today. This is indeed a crisis.
It is a problem when district courts, who are supposed to decide particular cases about the parties before them, somehow have jurisdiction to issue nationwide rulings that thwart the president’s agenda all across the country. But it is quite another problem, a more dire and disturbing one, when district courts not only attempt to govern the country but directly subvert the decisions of the U.S. Supreme Court, to whom these district courts are inferior.
There are many egregious instances of federal district courts running wild. For example, on April 4 the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a910_f2bh.pdf">vacated a decision</a> by a Massachusetts district court. The district court attempted to apply a temporary restraining order prohibiting the Trump administration from terminating various education-related grants. The district court’s order also required “the Government to pay out past-due grant obligations and to continue paying obligations as they accrue.” The Court reasoned that the administration’s order should stay in place until the final resolution of the case, because if the administration prevailed they would never see those grant funds returned and the education programs had sufficient money to continue operating without those disputed grants. Therefore, the Supreme Court vacated the lower court’s restraining order and allowed the administration to freeze the grant funds until the final decision was made.
Yet the fight to stop the Trump administration from defunding and dismantling the Department of Education continues. Just a couple weeks later, a Connecticut <a href="https://ctmirror.org/2025/04/24/dei-education-funding-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">district court blocked</a> the Trump administration’s efforts to cut funding to schools that continue to implement DEI programs. And in May, another district judge in Massachusetts <a href="https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/judge-blocks-trumps-executive-order-to-dismantle-education-department">blocked</a> the administration’s efforts to dismantle the Department of Education.
In the most recent and perhaps most troubling example, on June 23 the Supreme Court <a href="https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf/24a1153_l5gm.pdf">stayed a preliminary injunction</a>. The injunction attempted to stop the administration from holding suspected illegal immigrants in “third countries” (neither the United States nor the country of origin, which often will not take these people back). Yet after the Supreme Court vacated the district court injunction, the district judge <a href="https://abovethelaw.com/2025/06/sotomayor-outlawyers-supreme-court-majority-in-shadow-docket-deportation-ruling/">immediately &#8220;clarified&#8221;</a> that his pause on these third country deportations is still in effect. How? Well, he relied on Justice Sotomayor’s dissent from the Supreme Court ruling and claimed that his order was not properly before the Supreme Court in the first place.
We are watching a dangerous game playing out here. The Supreme Court (the court with actual judicial authority under the U.S. Constitution) says that a district judge may not stop the Trump administration from freezing Department of Education funds, then district courts continue stopping those types of actions. The Supreme Court says the district court may not stop the removal of illegal aliens to third countries, then the district court claims that its orders preventing those same deportations remain in effect. One can quibble about procedure, but the reality is the Supreme Court’s rulings are being boldly and disturbingly undermined by inferior courts.
Two things to note. First, it is troubling that the lower courts are relying on dissents to thwart the rulings of the Supreme Court. That is not how law works. Dissenting opinions simply do not have force of law and they cannot be relied upon in undermining the majority opinions of the Supreme Court.
Second, the Supreme Court’s actions in these cases are quite modest: the court is vacating the lower courts’ extreme choice to stop the Trump administration’s actions while the cases are still being decided. The Supreme Court is not issuing final decisions; it is simply saying that lower courts need to stop interfering with every action the administration takes until the courts actually rule on these cases. This is a prudent action in the face of activist courts trying to thwart the actions of the people’s president.
The Supreme Court has the power to decide what the law says. The Court is doing just that and, often, what the Court is saying is that the Trump administration has the power to make executive decisions that cannot be stopped by activist district court judges.
Federal district courts are frankly out of control. The U.S. Supreme Court <a href="https://www.stevevladeck.com/p/122-contempt-of-the-supreme-court">has the power</a> to hold people in contempt who disobey the Court’s orders. That power should extend to lower court judges who are clearly doing just that. Perhaps desperate times call for desperate measures and this is what it will take to rein in the out-of-control actions of renegade district judges.

New York City is on the verge of electing an actual communist mayor of the city, and this requires us to ask a question.
Why?
What is happening with the Left that they&#8217;ve decided to opt for Bernie Sanders over anything like a mainstream Democratic Party candidate?
Of course, this has been coming for a long time. Bernie Sanders ran an incredibly strong race against Hillary Clinton in 2016. Bernie Sanders then ran an incredibly strong race against Joe Biden in 2020.
Thus, there is something happening inside the Democratic Party — and it&#8217;s growing —and it&#8217;s growing — and it&#8217;s growing. That doesn&#8217;t mean the Democratic Party is growing and growing. In fact, the Democratic Party is shrinking even as this movement is growing.
It&#8217;s essentially a tumor destroying the health of the Democratic Party from the inside. But something is happening.
Zohran Mamdani, the former no-name, 33-year-old trust fund kid who’s a socialist and anti-Semite, who has worked for all of three combined years, I believe, in his entire adult life (and that includes him rapping), is now on the verge of becoming the mayor of the most important city in the West.
I think reasonable people look at this and think he is winning in spite of those things. I think that&#8217;s missing the point. He&#8217;s winning because of those things.
That’s because there&#8217;s an Omnicause on the Left; the Scavenger cause, which is to tear down all the systems. Inchoate rage at the system channeled into socialist economics, Howard Zinn-inspired foreign policy, and destructive hatred of traditional institutions.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2226-member-exclusive?elementPosition=6&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
That Scavenger philosophy has gained tremendous credence with the dissatisfied Left, a Left that achieved many of its victories and now has plunged itself directly into nihilism.
The problem with the Left over the course of the last several decades has been that they caught the car. In the 1960s, the Left in the United States began to catch the car with everything from the sexual revolution to the overturning of the constitutional order. In doing so, they then had to construct a system.
The problem is that when you construct a system and then the system fails and fails and fails again, and then the backlash happens in the form of a Donald Trump, you start to lose your mind, you start to become insane.
Thus, instead of them wanting to capture the commanding heights of the system and change the system from within incrementally, “make it better,” which used to be the Democratic way, now they just want to burn everything down.
That is not a particularly attractive message to a broader American public that does not want to burn everything down. The secret about President Trump is that when President Trump ran in 2016, pledging that he was going to burn everything down, the reality is that people realistically believed that he was going to burn some things down, but he was certainly not going to burn everything down.
They actually thought he would be a lot more moderate than he said he would be. It turned out in many ways that he was significantly more institutionalist in his approach from 2016 to 2020 than people expected him to be. Even today, all the crazy people who are yelling about him challenging democracy, won’t recognize that democracy is not under threat, that the courts are not under threat. This idea that Donald Trump is simply running roughshod over our most cherished institutions is a lie.
But Democrats have always used revolutionary language in order to push forward evolutionary ends. Interestingly, Donald Trump did the same thing inside the Republican Party. He used revolutionary language to achieve evolutionary ends. All of that is normal politics in the United States.
That’s what&#8217;s currently happening to the Left. Bernie Sanders and his entire wing of the party are using revolutionary language because they want an actual revolution. This is why you have seen the Left nodding at riots over the course of the last decade, at actual attempts at revolution in the streets.
It&#8217;s why so much of the Left was fine with Luigi Mangione shooting the United Healthcare CEO, because revolution requires a few broken eggs, and it is why Bernie Sanders now has the whip hand in the Democratic Party.
Zohran Mamdani is simply channeling Bernie Sanders at this point, with a few added features. He&#8217;s ethnically diverse, he&#8217;s not originally born in America, his father is a postcolonial studies professor at Columbia University of Shia Muslim descent, and his mother is an Indian-American filmmaker of Punjabi Hindu descent.
All these things add a smattering of exoticism to Zohran Mamdani. The fact that he is a rabid anti-Semite obviously sprinkles a lot of pizazz atop the Omnicause stew. He&#8217;s Greta Thunberg with a beard, with a more ethnically exotic background, and with a lot more charisma.
He is the face of the international Left in a nutshell. In his victory speech, he said:
<blockquote>Let me close with this. In these dark times, I know that it is harder than ever to keep faith in our democracy. It has been attacked by billionaires and their big spending by elected officials who care more about self-enrichment than the public trust, and by authoritarian leaders who rule through fear. But above all, our democracy has been attacked from within. For too long, New Yorkers have strained to find a leader who represents us, who puts us first, and we have been betrayed time and again after so many disappointments. 
The heart hardens, belief becomes elusive, and when we no longer believe in our democracy, it only becomes easier for people like Donald Trump to convince us of his worth, for billionaires to convince us that they must always lead. And I pledge to you that we will remake this great city not in my image, but in the image of every New Yorker who has only known struggle.</blockquote>
“Known struggle?” Are you kidding me? Mamdani has experienced a shocking lack of struggle in his young and non-achievement-oriented life. 
According to <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kylemullins/2025/06/24/heres-how-much-new-york-city-mayoral-candidate-zohran-mamdani-is-worth/">Forbes</a>:
<blockquote>At a panel in Harlem in February, New York state assembly member Zohran Mamdani discussed a piece of proposed legislation that would strip Columbia University of various tax breaks and redirect the revenue to fund the City’s university system. Mamdani’s no stranger to Columbia—his father is a Harvard-educated, renowned professor there, and he grew up in university-owned housing. “Columbia was our first landlord,” he told the crowd, according to an account in the student newspaper. &#8230; Forbes estimates Mamdani to be worth around $200,000. &#8230; Mamdani attended Bank Street, a prestigious Manhattan private school 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. &#8230; he studied Africana Studies at Bowdoin College, a private liberal arts school in Maine.
After graduating, he worked on his mom&#8217;s sets. He tried his hand at a rap career using the monikers Young Cardamom and Mr. Cardamom, and “took jobs working on several political campaigns and community organizing efforts.”</blockquote>
That is legitimately his entire work history. This is a person who is campaigning for those who “have only known struggle.”
What is he actually saying?
What he is saying is that if you are unsuccessful in life, what is required is a revolution: a revolution led by someone like Zohran Mamdani, a trust-fund kid.
That&#8217;s what he is. And yet he is treated as though he is a revolutionary.
By the way, a dirty little secret about revolutions: They are very rarely led by true members of the low-income classes. They are usually led by upper-middle-income people who feel upset that they didn&#8217;t get their “fair worth.”
That’s Mamdani. And so he is taking Bernie Sanders’ economics and slapping on top of that all of the spicy peppers that makes so many liberals go absolutely gaga, particularly white, highly-educated, rich, elite liberals.
All the things that normal people see in Mamdani as problems are nectar to the Left.
When I say that Bernie Sanders is taking over the Democratic party, this is what I mean. AOC is Bernie Sanders wearing AOC’s face. Mamdani is Bernie Sanders wearing Mamdani’s face.
There’s a reason that leftists are marching with a queer flag and a Palestinian flag and an Iran flag and also voting for Zohran Mamdani: because they are about destroying the things that work — in the name of nothing.
It is not as though they want to build a better system. They do not have the capacity to build a better system.
This is about a shout and a cry at the “establishment,” screaming at the moon in the name of revolution.
That is Bernie Sanders.
Bernie has never been on a major piece of legislation. Bernie is a lifelong loser. He&#8217;s a loser.
But that doesn&#8217;t mean he’s not dangerous.
Losers can absolutely be dangerous.

On the surface, it might seem like &#8220;wokeness&#8221; and the extreme excesses of Left-wing ideology have been defeated, or at least neutralized. But that&#8217;s not the case. The most destructive and anti-American impulses of the Left have not been defeated. They haven&#8217;t suddenly realized the errors of their ways.
Instead, like a malignant cancer, they have mutated. They&#8217;ve identified different ways to undermine the foundations of this country. And in the process, they have become much more dangerous and ultimately much more deadly. That’s not to say that we haven’t had any real victories against wokeness, or leftism, in recent years. We have. But the battle is very, very far from over. Cut off one tentacle of this giant squid-like beast, and it grows another.
That&#8217;s the only way to understand what took place yesterday in New York&#8217;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/andrew-cuomo-falls-to-radical-socialist-zohran-mamdani-in-nyc-mayoral-primary?author=Tim+Rice&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Andrew+Cuomo+Falls+To+Radical+Socialist+Zohran+Mamdani+In+NYC+Mayoral+Primary">mayoral primary</a>. Andrew Cuomo has conceded the race — which means that, barring an upset in the general election from a candidate like Eric Adams, a 33-year-old Muslim socialist from Uganda named Zohran Mamdani is going to be the next mayor of New York City. Yes, a foreign nepo baby and failed rapper who wants to nationalize the grocery stores and the rental properties, while also destroying the police department in the name of “queer liberation,” and forcing taxpayers to fund sex-changes for children, is the man New Yorkers apparently want to put in charge.

Every aspect of his platform is un-American and demented and totally insane, but it&#8217;s worth spending a little time specifically on his brilliant idea to create government-run grocery stores, which we touched on yesterday. We can use just this one example, this one part of his platform, to show how utterly foolish the whole thing is. So, in this country, the typical grocery store has a profit margin of roughly 2 to 3%. They&#8217;re not colluding with other stores to extract some insane profits, in violation of antitrust law. Instead, the way grocery stores work is by leveraging economies of scale to generate a lot of very small profits from a lot of individual sales, which add up over time. They&#8217;re only functional because they&#8217;re efficient, which is the opposite of how the government works. And even then, they&#8217;re barely turning a profit on every sale. If you’re some kind of greedy capitalist Gordon Gecko like figure, the grocery business is not the kind of business you’d get into.
So if you want to create government-run grocery stores, then you might as well create government-run restaurants and technology companies and car dealerships, too. You might as well nationalize the entire economy, and turn the United States into Venezuela. After all, of all the things you can nationalize, grocery stores are the most extreme. As usual, radical leftists don’t follow the slippery slope trajectory in a neat and gradual way. The start with the most extreme thing, and work backwards from there.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1620-the-matt-walsh-show?elementPosition=1&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h3>
If this conversation sounds familiar, it&#8217;s because Kamala Harris also ran on the idea of price controls for grocery stores. Which is just socialism, of course. It was rejected by voters in every swing state because it doesn&#8217;t work. But it just won in New York, thanks largely to well-off voters who will never need to shop in a government-run grocery store. That&#8217;s why the blue-collar workers didn&#8217;t vote for this communist. They saw what happened when San Francisco, and Chicago, and every other jurisdiction on the planet voted for people like this. It ends in widespread poverty and destruction, every single time. And that&#8217;s what&#8217;s going to happen soon in our largest city.
There are broader implications here as well, beyond the disaster that&#8217;s about to befall New Yorkers. Whatever happens in the general election, it&#8217;s safe to say that, less than 25 years after 9/11, New York has been conquered. All of the trillions of dollars we&#8217;ve spent on fighting &#8220;the war on terror,&#8221; and all of the American lives that have been lost here and abroad, have not prevented an anti-American Muslim from taking control of America&#8217;s largest city. We&#8217;ve spent the last 25 years bringing &#8220;freedom&#8221; and &#8220;democracy&#8221; to countries around the globe while our own country has been systematically invaded and now our largest cities are run by foreigners and communists. If you want to know why I&#8217;m so avowedly non-interventionist, this is why. And keep in mind: this guy is a &#8220;legal immigrant.&#8221; We allowed him into this country and granted him citizenship, even though he doesn&#8217;t share any of our values. That&#8217;s how seriously we&#8217;ve &#8220;protected the homeland&#8221; after 9/11. We&#8217;ve rolled out the red carpet for foreign nationals who are going to destroy us from within.
If New York City were a country, its GDP would rank it around the 12th largest globally. And now there&#8217;s a very, very good chance it&#8217;s going to be in the hands of a man who hasn&#8217;t even been a citizen for a decade, who fakes his accents, and sees capitalism — the economic engine that has single-handedly prevented this country from becoming another Uganda — as an enemy to be vanquished. This is a man whose own mother has reportedly said: &#8220;He is not an American at all.” In that way, he has a lot of company in New York City, where 40% — 40% — of the city’s population wasn&#8217;t born in this country.
Hearing all of this, you might say — well, New York has always been a Left-wing cesspool. It&#8217;s always been a little dysfunctional. But that&#8217;s not true. A few decades ago, only around 20% of the city was born in a foreign country. Now the number is close to double that figure. And what do you know? Hot on the heels of demographic replacement, New York is poised to have a third world mayor. The slogans are true. Demographics are destiny. Import the third world, become the third world. It’s all true. And New York will learn that when they have a mayor who proudly <a href="https://x.com/RealSaavedra/status/1937706224302063937">tweeted:</a> &#8220;Queer liberation means defund the police.&#8221; He also called the NYPD: &#8220;racist, anti-queer and a major threat to public safety.&#8221; College-educated New Yorkers, as well as foreign nationals, are the reason he won. There&#8217;s no debate about that. Here&#8217;s one exit poll, to give you an idea:

As you can see, New Yorkers with the lowest incomes were the ones who rejected Zohran Mamdani. You might think that the poorest voters would support the socialist, but that&#8217;s not the case. That&#8217;s probably because, unlike college-educated New Yorkers who were taught to despise his country and leech as much as possible, poorer New Yorkers didn’t undergo all of the same brainwashing.
As a result, very soon, New Yorkers will discover that &#8220;stop and frisk&#8221; wasn&#8217;t actually so bad. The alternative is lawlessness and socialism, which will trigger a death spiral in New York. Wealthy New Yorkers, who would be forced to fund all of the social experiments this new mayor wants to undertake, will simply leave. And once that happens, New York will no longer have a GDP that rivals most other countries in the world. We will witness, in real-time, the slow and managed destruction of a world-class city. Another one.
And that&#8217;s not something to celebrate, regardless of your politics, as tempting as it may be. I wish that I could just say &#8220;good riddance&#8221; to all of the major American cities that have fallen into decay and disorder thanks to their awful leaders and the suicidal idiots who elect them. But as an American, I want these cities to be great. They used to be. They could be again. That&#8217;s why I have so much contempt for the parasites who&#8217;ve destroyed them. Those are American cities. That means they&#8217;re our cities, too. And these morons ruined them.

Suddenly the fall of &#8220;Pride month&#8221; doesn&#8217;t seem quite as significant. The election of a Muslim socialist to be the next mayor of NYC is very clear evidence that &#8220;wokeness&#8221; and Left-wing ideology is still very much alive in this country. Say what you will about Andrew Cuomo&#8217;s disastrous handling of COVID, and all of his weaknesses as a candidate. There&#8217;s still no other explanation for what happened last night. This primary demonstrates, once again, that the culture war continues. It just moves to new battlefields. This is how Leftism operates. It shape shifts and rebrands and grows new tentacles. Finds new Trojan Horses. But it&#8217;s always the same enemy underneath it all.
And as New Yorkers are about to discover, the enemy is even more potent — and more capable of ruining millions of lives — than it&#8217;s ever been. New York, and the entire country, has just suffered a catastrophic blow. And if we&#8217;re going to preserve what&#8217;s left of America, we have to, as I’ve been saying, return the focus to what&#8217;s happening within our own borders.
The invaders are winning. That&#8217;s not easy to admit, but it&#8217;s true. They are a far greater threat to our sovereignty and our security than any country that&#8217;s 6,000 miles away. And unless we want the entire country to suffer the same fate as New York, we have to recognize that fact. We have to treat these foreign socialists like the mortal enemy that they are. After last night, we can either choose to fight, or we can become Uganda.
Voters in New York — many of whom aren&#8217;t even American — have just made their choice. Now the rest of us have to stop wasting our time obsessing over whatever&#8217;s happening across the globe, and make our choice as clear as we possibly can.

President Donald Trump laid into New York City Democrats in a Wednesday afternoon post to Truth Social, saying they&#8217;d finally &#8220;crossed the line&#8221; when Democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani pulled out a Democratic primary win in the New York City mayoral election.
&#8220;It’s finally happened, the Democrats have crossed the line,&#8221; Trump began in the first of two posts. &#8220;Zohran Mamdani, a 100% Communist Lunatic, has just won the Dem Primary, and is on his way to becoming Mayor. We’ve had Radical Lefties before, but this is getting a little ridiculous.&#8221;
&#8220;He looks TERRIBLE, his voice is grating, he’s not very smart, he’s got AOC+3, Dummies ALL, backing him, and even our Great Palestinian Senator, Cryin’ Chuck Schumer, is groveling over him,&#8221; Trump continued. &#8220;Yes, this is a big moment in the History of our Country!&#8221;

In the second post, Trump offered some advice to the Democratic Party moving forward, suggesting they should go all in and nominate Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) for the presidency in 2028. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), he said, should be her vice presidential candidate.
&#8220;I have an idea for the Democrats to bring them back into &#8216;play.&#8217; After years of being left out in the cold, including suffering one of the Greatest Losses in History, the 2024 Presidential Election, the Democrats should nominate Low IQ Candidate, Jasmine Crockett, for President, and AOC+3 should be, respectively, Vice President, and three High Level Members of the Cabinet,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Added together with our future Communist Mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, and our Country is really SCREWED!&#8221;
Mamdani edged out disgraced former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY) for the nomination, but may still face him again in the general election as Cuomo has not ruled out the possibility of a third-party run.
Based on his campaign website, Mamdani would <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-york-mayoral-hopeful-would-go-all-in-on-transing-the-kids-to-the-tune-of-65-million">dump millions of dollars</a> of city funding into transgender procedures and treatments — for adults and children — and challenge the Trump administration&#8217;s efforts to restrict such procedures for minors.

Democrats and other misprints in the Book of Life are celebrating a rare victory after a weekend of “No Kings” protests resulted in there being no American kings.
The Democrat comeback ended a frustrating period of months in which party officials sought for some way to convince the American electorate that they were not just hollow glove puppets being manipulated by the sinister unseen hands of Communists and jihadis, while still remaining true to their goal of being hollow glove puppets manipulated by the sinister unseen hands of Communists and jihadis.
The turnaround came after Chairman of the Democrat National Committee, Abaddon Pazuzu, delivered a rousing and inspiring speech to the golden statue of a goat-headed god, saying, “Oh Lord of Darkness, come to our aid so that we may know we haven’t traded away our souls in vain. We have sought to win back the love of the American people by setting their cities on fire, interfering with their law enforcement officers in the rightful performance of their duties, mutilating their children, persecuting their politicians, silencing their opinions, dividing them into hostile camps according to their various races, and shutting their churches and synagogues while simultaneously cheering on acts of Islamist terror so horrifying in their apocalyptic evil we thought they’d be sure to win at least as loyal a following as Nancy Pelosi. And yet somehow, nothing we’ve done has managed to recapture the affection of the nation we’re trying so desperately to destroy. Guide our steps to success, oh unholy one, so that we might raise our approval ratings, which are in double digits only when expressed as fractions.”
Shortly after this address, the DNC staged the nationwide &#8220;No Kings&#8221; protests, which were so successful even the protesters themselves were amazed. As one 80-year-old wearing the rags of what used to be a Woodstock t-shirt wrote in his leatherette-bound diary, “I was beginning to worry I had wasted my life supporting delusional policies that promised utopia but instead turned everything they touched to crap. But now, in a single weekend, our protests managed to reduce Donald Trump from a mighty king to nothing but the President of the United States, leader of the free world and commander-in-chief of the most lethal fighting force on earth. I feel my dreams have become a reality for the first time since we put an end to all wars by ushering in the Age of Aquarius.”
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/show/the-andrew-klavan-show">WATCH: The Andrew Klavan Show</a></h3>
Left-Wing Activist Bruce Flapjaw, president of the Enlightened Institute of Endemic Imaginary Outrages — or E-I-E-I-O — celebrated the victory with a jubilant press release, saying “With the geriatric Trump forming a far-right monarchy in network newscasts and other fantasies, we were able to mobilize thousands of know-nothing political quacks, geriatric white women in mu-mus, and ivy league educated dumb-clucks until, with a mu-mu here and a mu-mu there, here a quack, there a quack, everywhere a dumb-cluck, old man Donald’s far-right form was expelled by the E-I-E-I-O.”
The Democrats mean to follow up their triumph later in the summer with a nationwide series of &#8220;No Alchemist&#8221; protests, pledging that they will not relent until they have rid the nation of every long-bearded man in a conical starry cap who is trying to turn lead into gold.
Excited by the success of the Democrats in expelling the kings from the U.S., Right-Wing anti-semites plan to follow suit, staging their own protests against imaginary outrages by declaring they will not die for Israel. The Groypers say they plan to illustrate their protest signs with pictures of doughty Christian knights to show what a brave and noble thing it is not to do what no one is asking them to do but what they would eventually have to do if the Jews weren’t currently doing it for them. After the “I Will Not Die for Israel” marches, the Groypers plan to gather to celebrate the triumphant fact that not one of them has died for Israel, marking the accomplishment by unleashing a barrage of social media posts, spelling the word Jew with two o’s to proclaim to all the world that they don’t know how to spell the word Jew.

Minnesota Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, released a statement on Thursday updating the public on their recovery and providing more details about the assassination attempt against them last week.
Yvette has been released from the hospital, while John remains in critical but stable condition, <a href="https://www.kare11.com/article/news/local/hoffman-hortman-statement-minnesota-shooting/89-5fb5baf5-8293-4397-b57d-69a265571bd4">according</a> to NBC&#8217;s Minneapolis affiliate, KARE 11. In their statement, the Hoffmans said they were shot a combined 17 times by a masked assassin who targeted multiple Democratic politicians last week, wounding the Hoffmans and killing state Rep. Melissa Hortman (D) and her husband, Mark. The Hortmans are survived by their two adult children, Sophie and Colin.
The Hoffmans added that they, along with their adult daughter, Hope, were awakened by loud banging on their front door, with someone shouting and identifying himself as a police officer.
&#8220;When the door was opened, all three of us were in the entryway. John initially lunged at the gunman as the weapon was pointed directly at him, getting struck nine times,&#8221; the statement reads. &#8220;As John fell, Yvette reached out to push the man and shut the door, succeeding before she was also hit eight times by gunfire. Hope then rushed to shut the door and secured the lock; she got to the phone and shared with the 911 operator that Senator John Hoffman had been shot in his home. Her brave actions and quick thinking triggered the notice to public safety officials that a politically-motivated act was potentially underway.&#8221;
After wounding the Hoffmans, 57-year-old Vance Boelter, the suspected assassin, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/suspected-minnesota-assassin-went-to-homes-of-two-other-elected-officials-prosecutor?author=Zach+Jewell&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=9&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Suspected+Minnesota+Assassin+Went+To+Homes+Of+Two+Other+Elected+Officials%3A+Prosecutor">drove</a> to the houses of two other Democratic politicians who were not home, according to prosecutors. Authorities said that Boelter then arrived at the home of Rep. Hortman, where he shot and killed the 55-year-old Democrat and her husband before getting into a shootout with police and fleeing. Boelter was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/authorities-catch-suspected-minnesota-assassin">arrested</a> just over 24 hours later in a wooded area near his family home, which is located an hour southwest of the Twin Cities.
Police said they found a potential “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-the-hit-list-found-in-minnesota-gunmans-vehicle">hit list</a>” in Boelter’s vehicle that contained the names of numerous Minnesota Democrats, including Gov. Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Angie Craig, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan. The suspect, who was reappointed by Walz to serve on the Workforce Development Board in 2019, was &#8220;very conservative,&#8221; according to a man he roomed with part-time at a house in north Minneapolis.
Video <a href="https://x.com/Protestia/status/1934404005590937986">clips</a> shared on social media show Boelter <a href="https://x.com/sfmcguire79/status/1934044833477185855">preaching</a> in churches in the Democratic Republic of Congo in recent years. He graduated from Christ For The Nations Institute in 1990 with a degree in practical theology in leadership and pastoral, according to <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/vance-boelter-know-minnesota-shooting-suspect-rcna213443">NBC News</a>. In Minnesota, Boelter was most recently working for funeral homes and had decades of experience in the food industry.
&#8220;We are heartbroken to know that our friends Melissa and Mark Hortman were assassinated,&#8221; the Hoffmans added. &#8220;Our daughter Hope and Sophie Hortman went to school together, and we know that they – along with Colin Hortman – will have each other’s support as we all work through the devastating consequences of that horrific night.&#8221;
&#8220;Choosing to work in the public sector, even in as limited a way as John’s career as a senator, has always meant sacrificing a level of privacy. But now we are grappling with the reality that we live in a world where public service carries such risks as being targeted because someone disagrees with you or doesn’t like what you stand for,&#8221; the statement continued. &#8220;As a society, as a nation, as a community, we must work together to return to a level of civility that allows us all to live peacefully. The future for our children depends on that. We will be praying for that work and appreciate all those who will join with us.&#8221;

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he won&#8217;t &#8220;waste time&#8221; with a phone call to &#8220;whacked out&#8221; Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz following the assassinations of a state representative, her husband, and the near-assassination of a state senator and his wife over the weekend.
Sources close to Walz said that the governor spoke to Vice President JD Vance after the Saturday morning shootings, but added that he had not heard from the president. Asked if he would reach out to Walz, the Democrats&#8217; 2024 vice presidential nominee, Trump <a href="https://x.com/kaitlancollins/status/1934918294508638209">said</a>, &#8220;I&#8217;m not calling him.&#8221;
&#8220;I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. Why would I call him?&#8221; Trump <a href="https://x.com/factpostnews/status/1934953237678899354">added</a>. &#8220;I could call and say, ‘Hi, how you doing?’ The guy doesn’t have a clue. He’s a mess. I could be nice and call, but why waste time?”
After the suspected Minnesota assassin killed Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and wounded Democratic state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, Trump addressed the deadly shootings.
&#8220;Such horrific violence will not be tolerated in the United States of America. God Bless the great people of Minnesota, a truly great place,&#8221; the president <a href="https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114682713948931541">posted</a> on social media.
Trump was also <a href="https://www.goodmorningamerica.com/news/story/trump-call-walz-after-minnesota-shootings-calls-grossly-122870353">asked</a> about reaching out to Walz during an interview with ABC News on Sunday.
&#8220;Well, it&#8217;s a terrible thing. I think he&#8217;s a terrible governor. I think he&#8217;s a grossly incompetent person. But I may, I may call him, I may call other people too,&#8221; Trump said.
Authorities arrested 57-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/suspected-minnesota-assassin-went-to-homes-of-two-other-elected-officials-prosecutor">Vance Boelter</a> on Sunday, just over 24 hours after the assassination of Hortman and the near-killing of Hoffman. The suspect is accused of impersonating a police officer and visiting the houses of at least four elected Democrats in Minnesota. At the Hoffmans&#8217; home, Boelter barged in after being confronted by the state senator and his wife. Boelter opened fire, wounding both of them. He later shot and killed Hortman and her husband at their home before engaging in a shootout with police and getting away.
Police said they found a potential &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/read-the-hit-list-found-in-minnesota-gunmans-vehicle">hit list</a>&#8221; in Boelter&#8217;s vehicle that contained the names of numerous Democrats, including Gov. Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, Rep. Angie Craig, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, and Minnesota Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan.
Boelter, who was appointed to Minnesota Democrat Governor Tim Walz’s Workforce Development Council in 2019, was “very conservative,” his roommate <a href="https://x.com/lilialuciano/status/1934315979687010680">told</a> CBS News. The roommate added that Boelter “would be offended if people thought he was a Democrat,” referring to rumors spreading on social media that Boelter was a leftist. The suspect rented a room <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYQPRPe1M3I">part-time</a> in a house in north Minneapolis, but he also <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7c5cDL2ryU">lived</a> in a home about an hour southwest of the Twin Cities with his wife and five children.
Boelter faces federal charges, including stalking, murder, and multiple firearms-related offenses. The federal murder charge makes Boelter eligible for the death penalty.

Four suspected illegal immigrants, referred to as &#8220;public safety threats,&#8221; escaped from federal authorities at a building used by Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Newark, New Jersey, as chaotic scenes erupted outside the facility on Thursday.
The escapees, identified as two Honduran and two Colombian nationals by the Department of Homeland Security, broke through a wall and escaped from the Delaney Hall detention center, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/immigration-detention-center-newark-new-jersey-delaney-hall-cf1e9043626136c46b5b67aeda2e9183">reported</a>. Detainees being held inside Delaney Hall reportedly became enraged over delayed meals, and protesters showed up at the detention center, pushing against the gates and attempting to block vehicles from passing through.
Delaney Hall is the same facility where Newark Democratic Mayor <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/newark-mayor-arrested-after-dem-reps-storm-new-jersey-ice-facility-charge-past-security-officers">Ras Baraka</a>, along with Rep. <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/democrat-indicted-over-ice-facility-clash-faces-up-to-17-years-in-prison">LaMonica McIver</a> (D-NJ), were arrested during altercations with law enforcement after they attempted to storm into the building last month.
An attorney representing one of the suspected illegal immigrants being detained at Delaney Hall told the AP that the situation became violent on Thursday after meals for the detainees arrived hours later than normal.
“Apparently the guards lost control of them,” the attorney, Mustafa Cetin, said. “And they started to, you know, create a disturbance.”
On Friday, the DHS <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/06/13/law-enforcement-offers-10000-reward-information-leading-arrest-4-dangerous-criminal">said</a> it is offering $10,000 for information leading to the apprehension of the escapees, identified as Franklin Norberto Bautista-Reyes and Joel Enrique Sandoval-Lopez — both Honduran men — and Colombian men Joan Sebastian Castaneda-Lozada and Andres Pineda-Mogollon. Homeland Security added that it has brought in &#8220;additional law enforcement partners&#8221; as they continue to search for the escapees.
DHS pushed back against reports claiming that an &#8220;uprising&#8221; was taking place at the detention facility.
&#8220;On June 12, four criminal illegal aliens breached security at Delaney Hall. Contrary to current reporting, there has been no widespread unrest at the Delaney Hall Detention facility,&#8221; Homeland Security <a href="https://www.dhs.gov/news/2025/06/13/law-enforcement-offers-10000-reward-information-leading-arrest-4-dangerous-criminal">said</a> in a statement. &#8220;This privately held facility remains dedicated to providing high-quality services, including include around-the-clock access to medical care, in-person and virtual legal and family visitation, general and legal library access, translation services, dietician-approved meals, religious and specialty diets, recreational amenities, and opportunities to practice their religious beliefs.&#8221;

Delaney Hall, which is operated by the GEO Group, a private company, has been the center of protests since last month, as Democrats and activists <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/four-detainees-newark-ice-facility-are-missing-senior-officials-say-rcna212893">claim</a> that detainees at the 1,000-bed facility are subject to poor treatment. Democrats, such as Mayor Baraka, have attempted to gain entry to the facility, arguing that it “lacks sufficient oversight of every basic detail — including local zoning laws and fundamental constitutional rights.&#8221;
