Schumer said:

Let me just say, based on what the House has passed, our chances of taking back the Senate have just increased because while Republicans claim that their tax scam will lift America across the board. The American people see it’s just plain false.

The polling data shows it. The 0.1% people will get a big tax break. The poorest 20% of Americans actually see their taxes go up. How is that fair? It’s not just taxes, it’s poor. And working class families see the costs of everyday items skyrocket.

Just what they did on the clean energy side will lose millions of jobs and cost people much more on their electricity bills. Families are gonna have to figure out how to find extra money to pay for these energy costs. Families will lose healthcare. Families will lose food benefits. Families will lose jobs, families will lose money.

The reason because the Republicans want a billionaire tax giveaway. And we’re gonna fight this tooth and nail. We know that a lot of Republicans on the Senate side are squirmy about the Medicaid cuts, the disparity in the taxes, the clean energy cuts, et cetera. And we urge everyone who’s listening to this call or who read something in the press or online to make sure that they call their Republican senators and say, don’t vote for this billionaire tax scam.

The Trump administration filed a motion Thursday to end the decades-old legal ruling that established basic standards for the treatment and release of migrant children—a move that immigrant rights advocates say they will challenge.

The Flores Settlement Agreement, which dates back to 1997, requires the government to move migrant children from jail-like detention facilities to state-licensed, child-appropriate facilities as quickly as possible, and to ensure that children are kept in safe and sanitary facilities.

“The fact that the government refuses to be held accountable to even these most basic standards to keep children safe speaks volumes.”

One of the most enduring characteristics of the modern iteration of ABC talk show “The View” — the show’s complete and naked contempt for President Donald Trump — is under fire.

And it’s not just coming from conservative supporters of Trump.

It’s coming from the heads of ABC and ABC’s parent company, Disney.

According to the Daily Beast, Disney CEO Bob Iger and ABC News President Almin Karamehmedovic are two such voices providing pushback to “The View” and its barrage of anti-Trump coverage.

It’s unclear what made left-leaning elected officials so emboldened to blatantly disrespect and stalk law enforcement, especially in the performance of their duties, but that is becoming far too common.

Aftyn Behn, a Democratic Tennessee State Representative, posted a video bragging about how she followed ICE troopers in her car to harass them. It’s unclear if she thought the video made her appear morally superior, but I would never recommend interfering with federal enforcement to get clicks.

How many times is she going to say her phone is dead? And have you ever met a more unlikely person? Nevertheless, this speaks volumes as to how entitled and emboldened many leftists have become…

Former CNN Host Just Roasted Leftists Over the Killing of Israeli Embassy Staffers– townhall.com

He’s not a conservative or a Trump guy, but Chris Cuomo set the progressive Left aflame last night. Since moving away from CNN, Mr. Cuomo hasn’t always been right, but when the stars align—he’s spot-on. On Wednesday night, Elias Rodriguez shot and killed Israeli Embassy staffers Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim at a young diplomats event at the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC. They were a couple, too, with an engagement proposal set for next week. Milgrim worked to foster peace between Israelis and Palestinians; the event aimed to find ways to deliver more aid to Gaza.

Rodriguez shouted, “Free Palestine,” as police arrested him. He’s a vicious antisemite. We know who he is, and yet, there’s this reticence from the Left to call what happened in DC what it is, which is an act of terrorism. It was an assassination.

“We know the shooter is a far-left activist caught on camera shouting ‘Free Palestine.’ And as he was arrested, he kept chanting the slogan and said, ‘I did it for Gaza,’ Cuomo said on his show on NewsNation. “So why the F are all these people on the left saying, ‘If true’ and ‘If that’s who he is’ and ‘If he’s not an IDF plant’?”

“Violence does not have to happen, but if it does, then it should,” the account wrote in a post.

The man accused of shooting a couple from the Israeli Embassy in Washington, DC this week reportedly posted praise for Luigi Mangione and wrote “death to America,” as well as “I voted for Hamas” on social media. He has been charged with first-degree murder in the case.

A criminal complaint states that Elias Rodriguez, 30, has been charged with murder of foreign officials, causing the death of a person through the use of a firearm, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, as well as two counts of first-degree murder.

According to the New York Post, federal authorities are working to connect a social media account reportedly linked to Rodriguez, law enforcement sources told the outlet. Rodriuez, a socialist activist and yelled “Free, free Palestine” as police were taking him into custody, was arrested for the killing of Yaron Lischinsky as well as his girlfriend Sarah Lynn Milgrim. The couple was set to get engaged next week.

We’re back for round two. NBC News’ Yamiche Alcindor got into a lengthy sparring session with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt over the footage President Donald Trump showed in the Oval Office on Wednesday with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa regarding reports of mass killings of white farmers.

There have been reports that this is a genocide, which has been denied by NGOs and even Afrikaners who were in the room as part of the South Africa delegation. What cannot be denied is that white farmers are being attacked and brutally murdered, which Alcindor tried to call unsubstantiated. Leavitt cited the Associated Press to support that killings are occurring, and they are.

OPINION: The Trump administration isn’t unjustly taking away anyone’s Social Security – it’s ensuring people pay their debts

“Social Security Benefits Could Be Slashed to $750 Under Trump’s Student Loan Wage Seizure,” bellows a Forbes headline. Some “beneficiaries will face 15% cuts in June,” warns MassLive.

In reality, the opposite of where mainstream media journalists live, the Trump administration is moving to ensure student loans borrowed are paid for. It follows a five-year reprieve from most federal student loans which the president himself instituted in March 2020. The Trump administration has begun collecting loans that have been in default more than 270 days, since the freeze ended in Oct. 2024.

According to Forbes, Trump “could drastically cut [seniors] Social Security benefits, potentially leaving them with just $750 per month to live on.”

“Social Security beneficiaries who have fallen behind on their student loan payments face up to 15% garnishment of their payments,” MassLive reports.

Dems Attempted to Hide Effects of Biden’s Age– www.breitbart.com

Democratic strategist James Carville acknowledged Thursday on Fox News Channel’s “The Will Cain Show” that the Democrats “tried to hide the effects” of then-President Joe Biden’s age.

Carville said, “I didn’t see anything behind the scene. I could tell, I’m 80 years old. I know, unlike most people, I know what the job entails. This is not a job for 80-year-olds. And, by the way, this president is going to be 81 when he finishes this term. So I — yeah, I thought from day one, 80 percent of the people in the United States thought he was too old to run for reelection. I mean, I’m the only one. You can’t be that smart if you have four-fifths of the country. You’re following the masses. But yes, he was too old. And yes, they tried to — they tried to hide the effects of age from people. That’s utterly apparent to any fool.”

He added, “And I was saying this since 2022, alright. I think it was a big mistake for him to say he was running for reelection. And I’ve said it at the time, and I will say it now, and I will say it a thousand times. And I think that Jake, in that book, I mean, it was a good book but to me it was a water is wet book. Like I said, 80 percent of the country. I’ll never forget that in May of 2023, to be exact, I saw a Washington Post/ABC poll, and I went. This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen in my life. It had never changed. And I did everything I possibly knew to say, ma’am, please don’t do this. This is, this is just a terrible idea.”

‘Senior Democrat’ Whistleblower Has Come Forward Regarding Biden Autopen Fiasco– townhall.com

Excerpt:

You know that Department of Justice official Ed Martin, who is now a pardon attorney and helming a weaponization task force, has named three of the big kahunas in this alleged scheme: Anita Dunn, Bob Bauer, and Ron Klain. Martin said the president can use an autopen, but he must be mentally fit for the contract to have the force of law.

We know Biden was not cogent, with numerous stories about how aides and the media covered up his mental decline. There also might be some funny shadow games regarding his prostate cancer diagnosis. Still, one thing that watchdogs who have been watching this activity agree on is that Martin is on the case and that with a senior Democrat coming forward, he’ll get to the bottom of this (via The Blaze):

Martin revealed on Tuesday that his investigation into the use of the autopen has actually been underway for weeks; that he has reached out to members of the Biden family; that some persons of interest have “lawyered up”; and that a whistleblower has already come forward with some troubling allegations.

“I had a whistleblower in my office 10 day ago — senior, senior Democrat — saying, ‘Look, it was these three people that controlled access, and they were making money off of it,'” Martin told journalist Mark Halperin on the “2WAY Tonight” show. “I don’t know if I believe it yet, but the point is, I think, we have to get to the bottom of it for the American people and to protect the process, and that’s what we’re doing.”

Martin indicated that the whistleblower was involved with the 2020 Biden campaign at the highest levels.

[…]

The DOJ’s pardon attorney subsequently threw two more names into the mix — Steve Ricchetti, former counselor to Biden who previously served as chairman of his 2020 presidential campaign, and “obviously Jill [Biden].”

Judge James C. Ho of the Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit has given voice to what many of us have seen developing over the recent past with the present make-up of the Supreme Court — a not-so-subtle dislike of President Trump, to put it mildly, and an inexplicable tendency to bend over backwards to give members of designated terrorist groups such as Tren de Aragua the benefit of every conceivable doubt.

The case of AARP v. Trump dealt with one of the many attempts to secure via forum-shopping that which the far left could never achieve at the ballot box: the hindrance or outright frustration of President Trump’s promise to the American people that he would rid the country of the dangerous and cruelly malignant criminal gangs invited in by the treasonous Biden-Harris-Mayorkas “administration” of lawlessness.  Very briefly stated, AARP, one of the terrorists so favored by the left (not the organization that lobbies for old codgers like me), represented by the ACLU, went to a federal district court on April 17, demanding that the court issue a temporary restraining order (TRO) enjoining the president and his agencies from deporting them under the Alien Enemies Act, which the court denied.  Later that night, at 12:34 A.M., the terrorists went to the court, alleging that they had been told they would be removed “tonight or tomorrow,” and demanded an emergency TRO.

President Donald Trump’s administration has terminated Harvard University’s student visa program.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shut down the program over “pro-terrorist conduct” on the prestigious school’s campus.

In a statement, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem said the move is a severe consequence of Harvard’s refusal to comply with the Trump administration’s request for the behavioral records of foreign students.

“This administration is holding Harvard accountable for fostering violence, antisemitism, and coordinating with the Chinese Communist Party on its campus,” Noem said.

“It is a privilege, not a right, for universities to enroll foreign students and benefit from their higher tuition payments to help pad their multibillion-dollar endowments.

“Harvard had plenty of opportunity to do the right thing. It refused.

A shock new poll has revealed that Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) could be in with a chance of defeating Democrat incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul in deep blue New York’s gubernatorial election.

In a hypothetical match-up, Stefanik and Hochul are neck-and-neck, the poll found.

The polling was revealed in a recent survey by data analytics firm co/efficient.

The results of the survey, obtained by the New York Post, show Stefanik, a close ally of President Donald Trump, as the strongest contender to unseat Hochul.

The independent poll revealed that Hochul, who is up for reelection next year, would have 43 percent of the vote.

Stefanik, meanwhile, is just a hair behind with 42 percent.

About 15 percent of New Yorkers are still undecided, the poll noted.

Washington breathed a sigh of relief Thursday morning. After weeks of wrangling, members and staff of the House of Representatives finally got some much-needed sleep. But while the House’s passage of the reconciliation package marks a major win, no one should mistake it for the final battle.

The bill now moves to the Senate, where it will be dissected, amended, and — barring a miracle — sent back to the House with underlines and edits.

The White House wants this wrapped up before the July 4 recess. That’s ambitious, considering how narrowly the bill cleared the House in the first place.

All spending must originate in the House, a fact that the Senate sometimes forgets. So think of Thursday’s vote as taking the beaches. Now comes the slow, messy slog inland.

The final House vote on the legislation was 215 to 214, with no Democrats supporting it, while two Republicans — Reps. Thomas Massie of Kentucky and Warren Davidson of Ohio — voted against it.

House Freedom Caucus Chair Andy Harris of Maryland voted “Present,” allowing the bill to secure a majority.

The House passed President Trump’s domestic policy bill, dubbed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, by just one vote in the early morning hours Thursday after an all-night session.

The vote was that close in part because Rep. Andrew Garbarino, a New York Republican who would’ve voted to support it, was asleep at the time, House Speaker Mike Johnson said.

“Andrew Garbarino did not make it in time. He fell asleep in the back. No kidding, I know. I’m going to just strangle him, but then, he’s my dear friend,” Johnson, a Louisiana Republican, said in a press conference.

Garbarino, who represents New York’s 2nd District on Long Island, did not deny being asleep.

“I am proud to have been the leading voice on Long Island during negotiations on this key reconciliation bill. I fought to lift the cap on SALT and ensure hardworking Long Island families see the benefits of this important legislation. I was moments away from the House floor, to vote ‘yes,’ when the vote was closed. While I am frustrated that the vote was closed before I was able to cast my vote, I am proud of the work we accomplished to deliver huge results for Long Island,” Garbarino said in a statement.

Amazon tribe says New York Times story led to members being smeared as porn addicts– abcnews.go.com

LOS ANGELES — An Indigenous tribe from the Brazilian Amazon has sued The New York Times, saying the newspaper’s reporting on the tribe’s first exposure to the internet led to its members being widely portrayed as technology-addled and addicted to pornography.

The Marubo Tribe of the Javari Valley, a sovereign community of about 2,000 people in the rainforest, filed the defamation lawsuit seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages this week in a court in Los Angeles.

It also names TMZ and Yahoo as defendants, alleging that their stories amplified and sensationalized the Times’ reporting and smeared the tribe in the process.

The suit says the Times’ June 2024 story by reporter Jack Nicas on how the group was handling the introduction of satellite service through Elon Musk’s Starlink “portrayed the Marubo people as a community unable to handle basic exposure to the internet, highlighting allegations that their youth had become consumed by pornography.”

“These statements were not only inflammatory but conveyed to the average reader that the Marubo people had descended into moral and social decline as a direct result of internet access,” an amended version of the lawsuit filed Thursday says. “Such portrayals go far beyond cultural commentary; they directly attack the character, morality, and social standing of an entire people, suggesting they lack the discipline or values to function in the modern world.”
