Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (D- NY) campaign splashed close to $19,000 in campaign funds last year to a Boston-area psychiatrist affiliated with a chain of clinics that specialize in ketamine-based treatments for mental-health conditions, according to the New York Post.

Disclosures filed with the Federal Election Commission indicate that Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign committee made three payments totaling $18,725 in 2025 to Dr. Brian Boyle, chief psychiatric officer at Stella Mental Health. The expenditures were recorded as “leadership training and consulting”: $11,550 in March, $2,800 in May and $4,375 in October.

Dr. Boyle, a Harvard Medical School graduate who previously served as an attending psychiatrist at McLean Hospital and Massachusetts General Hospital, focuses on interventional psychiatry. Stella Mental Health offers treatments including intravenous ketamine infusions, Spravato nasal spray, transcranial magnetic stimulation and other approaches aimed at conditions such as treatment-resistant depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and anxiety. The clinics market these services to patients who have not responded to conventional therapies, and ketamine-based options have gained attention in recent years among certain professional and celebrity circles seeking alternative mental-health interventions, the Post reports..

A ritzy Los Angeles enclave is seeing their wealth wiped out as bungling Democratic state leaders have failed to act while a massive landslide accelerates — leaving their homes teetering on the edge of a cliff.

Residents of the posh coastal city of Rancho Palos Verdes tore into Gov. Gavin Newsom for sinking critical legislation that would help protect properties in the idyllic community 30 miles south of downtown Los Angeles.

Peter Pettler, 83, told The California Post that he’s seen the value of his sprawling 2,700-square-foot ranch-style home plummet in value from $2.5 million to just $515,000.

He was once even offered a pathetic $5,000 for his four-bedroom, four-bathroom manor.

A few years ago, we mocked Gavin Newsom for his total lack of understanding about pew-pews when he called a .22 caliber rifle a “weapon of mass destruction,” and then flagged his camera crew with it.

As Newsom said in that 2022 video, he signed a bill to ban “sick marketing ploys,” AKA allowing companies to advertise guns that parents can buy to teach their kids to shoot.

After signing AB 2571 into law, Newsom was immediately challenged in court by the Firearms Policy Coalition, Safari Club International, the United States Sportsman’s Alliance Foundation, the Congressional Sportsman’s Foundation, and others.

The law was then struck down TWICE by the Ninth Circuit.

On March 17, St. Patrick’s Day, California finally took the L and said it would pay the court fees of those who had challenged its unconstitutional law, totaling $1.38 million.

(When have Democrats ever given a shit about the National Debt?)

House and Senate Democrats have introduced bills promising to eliminate income taxes for broad swaths of Americans. Generally, these plans accompany proposals to soak the rich, provide guaranteed cash payments and expanded tax credits, and somehow end up deficit neutral.

Buy those votes! Buy those votes!

Although the goal of increased progressivity and fairness is noble, these plans concede too much ground to the slop-populism of the Trump administration and fail to confront fiscal reality. Instead, policymakers should focus on raising revenue and stop pretending the national debt is not already ballooning out of control.

Damn, this boy sounds like a Republican. No wonder Democrats are ignoring him.

Fortune, a Voice of the Crust.

After a grueling 25 hours of debate on the House floor, complete with an almost show-stopping filibuster effort of more than 81 amendments by Republicans to stop the bill from moving forward, Washington made history this week with the passage of a millionaires tax bill, which would create the first income tax in the state’s history.

On March 9, lawmakers passed a 9.9% tax on personal income above $1 million per year—a first for the income-taxless state. The final vote was 52–46, and involved the longest floor debate in Washington history, far exceeding the previous record of nine hours.

“We knew it was going to be a pretty major endeavor,” Rep. Brianna Thomas, a Democrat who supported the measure, told Fortune. “We’ve got 93 years of precedent in front of us, behind us, around us at all times on the conversation around an income tax.”

…

For Thomas, the economy has simply outgrown the code. Washington has now become the home of global multitrillion-dollar organizations Amazon, Microsoft, and Boeing, and it’s staring down a projected budget deficit of $10 billion to $12 billion over the next four years.

Gov. Gavin Newsom had helped set up a state government agency for his wife and then a quasi-government non-profit to which he has directed millions of dollars which in turn helped promote yet another non-profit that puts millions of dollars in the pockets of the Newsoms.

That convoluted arrangement may explain why Newsom won’t turn over his tax returns.

Gov. Newsom promised to be the first California governor to release his tax returns every year, but media outlets have been grumbling that the last time he released a tax return was quite a few years ago when he was legally required to because he was running for reelection.

The questions got louder when he bought a $9 million house in addition to their $6 million house. The new 5,609 square foot estate comes with a spa, sculptures and Brazilian decks, and was bought from a member of the billionaire Pritzker clan, who have been one of Newsom’s major donors, and carries a $6.5 million mortgage with $600,000 in annual payments plus over $100,000 in property taxes. Some have been asking where all that money was coming from.

This may only be the tip of the iceberg considering that in 2019, the Newsoms had paid their household staff $288,000 alone. Assuming that the staffing costs have kept pace, California’s first family should be looking at very some very huge bills to maintain their outrageous lifestyle.

A recent attack by an illegal alien that took place on the New York City subway perfectly represents where concentric circles of awful leftist policies meet to damage free societies.

On Sunday afternoon, 34-year-old Bairon Hernandez allegedly shoved an 83-year-old Air Force veteran, Richard Williams, and another young man onto the subway track in the Upper East Side. Fortunately, the younger victim, Jhon Pena, was able to pull Williams off the track before a train arrived, though the vet remains in serious condition.

The suspect, according to Pix 11, is a four-time deportee with 15 prior arrests for, among other things, “simple assault, domestic violence, obstruction of police, possession of a weapon, drug possession, and aggravated assault.”

Hernandez first entered the country in January 2008 and was last deported in July 2020, according to the New York Post. He re-entered the country sometime after then.

Welcome to Mamdaniville, where octogenarian veterans are pushed onto train tracks by demented illegal alien career criminals while the mayor whines that Immigration and Customs Enforcement is “a rogue agency, one that has no interest in laws, no interest in order.”

A man shot and killed by Dallas police earlier this week was a familiar figure in North Texas law enforcement – and part of the security detail for U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, sources told CBS News Texas.

Multiple law enforcement sources tell CBS News Texas the man, known publicly as Mike King, had been using aliases while running a business that placed officers in off?duty jobs.

King was killed Wednesday night after a standoff with Dallas police SWAT officers. Police say he fled into a hospital parking garage, barricaded himself inside a vehicle, and was forced out by tear gas before pulling a gun on officers.

Sources say he was wanted for impersonating a law enforcement officer and had claimed to be one while operating Off Duty Police Services, an online platform connecting North Texas officers with off?duty work. Authorities have not released his real name.

The Minnesota Senate rammed through sweeping gun control measures on Friday, after deliberately sidelining the state’s largest pro-Second Amendment organization with just 6 minutes of testimony, while gun control supporters got 32 minutes of speaking time on the flagship gun ban bill.

The Democrat-controlled Senate Judiciary and Public Safety Committee, chaired by Sen. Ron Latz (DFL), advanced S.F. 3655 – a near-total ban on semiautomatic rifles and magazines holding more than 10 rounds – on a strict 6-3 party-line vote. Latz admitted they “prioritized individual testifiers over organizations” – yet anti-gun groups still got slots while the state’s biggest 2A voice was frozen out.

Before allowing input from the public, the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus – representing tens of thousands of law-abiding citizens – warned the public yesterday that committee staff had already told them the hearing schedule was “full” – effectively blocking them from offering in-person testimony on the core bills: the semi-auto ban, the magazine ban, repeal of state preemption (opening the door to a patchwork of local gun laws), and new carry restrictions at the State Capitol and schools.

Rep. Eric Swalwell has primarily been living in Washington, D.C. for years, and now that he’s running for governor of California, he’s hit a snag over residency.

According to reports, Swalwell is renting a single room in a home in the eastern Bay Area that’s occupied by a family of three to claim residency in the state. Public records show it’s a three-bedroom, 1,350-square-foot home owned by Nicolas and Kristina Mrzywka. It is unlikely that Swalwell has ever truly lived there. And now, one of his Democratic primary rivals is calling him out on it.

“The alleged discovery of Swalwell’s Livermore rental came from the congressman’s top Democratic opponent, billionaire Tom Steyer,” reports the New York Post. “Steyer says Swalwell appears to ‘live in California on paper only’ as the governor race heats up, ‘making him unlikely to meet the basic residency requirements to run for Governor.’”

“Enough is enough.” With those words, Senator Bernie Sanders (I., Vt) launched a push to impose a 5% annual wealth tax on America’s billionaires. With Rep. Ro Khanna (D., Cal.), the legislation, “Make Billionaires Pay Their Fair Share Act,” echoes the growing “eat-the-rich” mantra on the left — seeking to replicate a disastrous push in California that has led to an exodus from that state and an estimated loss of $2 trillion in taxable assets.

It is also flagrantly unconstitutional.

Under the plan, Congress would target 938 billionaires to tap them for $4.4 trillion. That money would then be redistributed as a $3,000 direct payment to every man, woman, and child in a household making $150,000 or less – $12,000 for a family of four.

The timing of the move is telling. Not only is it calculated before the midterm elections, in which the Democrats hope to retake power, but it follows the push by California Democrats and unions to impose a similar wealth tax in that state.

Khanna, who represents Silicon Valley, has supported the state law, which includes a ruinous provision for startup entrepreneurs. The law would not only be retroactive to try to trap wealthy taxpayers who have fled the state, but also base wealth calculations on the voting shares of corporate executives. Often, with start-ups, entrepreneurs hold greater voting shares than actual ownership. However, just in case they need more incentive to leave the state, they will be taxed as if their voting shares represented actual wealth.

The practical problem is that the wealthy, like their wealth, are mobile. As a result, many are fleeing California. So now Khanna is joining with the nation’s leading Democratic Socialists to ensure there is nowhere to hide in the United States. For billionaires in California, they could be double-tapped for ten percent of their wealth.

It has long been the dream of the far left. Years ago, Sen. Elizabeth Warren delighted Democratic voters in her run for the presidency by telling the rich she was coming after “your Rembrandts, your stock portfolio, your diamonds and your yachts.” In one debate, she dramatically rubbed her hands together after saying she would take some of the wealth of fellow candidate John Delaney, a self-made millionaire.

Democrats never see a pocket without the urge to pick it.

Connecticut lawmakers are concerned about child abuse. Good, that issue should be a priority for parents and policymakers alike. But stripping rights away from all parents in the hope that the state will do a better job raising children is wishful thinking.

The sign-up process is straightforward, and while state officials require parents to teach certain subjects, parents do not have the same burdensome regulations as their neighbors in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York, and Pennsylvania.

I can’t help but wonder as James Talarico says God’s “gender identity” is “nonbinary,” as 106 Democrats oppose the Trump administration’s commonsense limits on Medicaid funding for sex-rejecting procedures, and as 104 Democrats co-sponsor a “Transgender Bill of Rights.” All this happens while Americans increasingly want to prevent men who identify as women from entering women’s bathrooms, women’s prisons, and women’s sports.

I’m far from the only one wondering whether the entire party has gone off its rocker. Luckily, the conservative-leaning Manhattan Institute decided to find out.

The Manhattan Institute conducted three national surveys, between Feb. 6 and 15, of registered Democrats and those who voted for Kamala Harris in 2024. The group interviewed 2,998 Democrats or Harris voters. The margins of error range from plus or minus 2.3% for general Democrats, to plus or minus 3.4% for a black Democrat sample, to plus or minus 5.0% for a Hispanic Democrat sample.

After nearly 24 hours of verbal debate, the turning down of nearly all Republican amendments by the majority Democrats, and the denial of press passes to local journalists, not in the Legacy Propaganda Media, the blatantly unconstitutional “Millionaires Tax” passed on a 51-46 vote. A couple of Democrats voted NO, but not enough to make any difference. For over 40 years, the Democrats have been salivating over an Income Tax, and now they have it. At 9.9%, this will make Washington the highest-taxed state in America.

The Washington State Constitution forbids a graduated income tax, stating that all taxes must be equal on equivalent classes of citizens, which their tax is obviously not. State Democrats have stated for the record that the initial 1-million-dollar “exemption” written into the law can be changed at any time with a simple majority vote, and that they intend to do so as soon as they can, making certain that all citizens will be subject to the tax in a few years. What’s really evil is that they attached an “Emergency” provision to the bill, forbidding any Citizen Initiatives from the public to overturn the bill. This is especially rich, given that the tax doesn’t take effect until 2029! Emergency?

Washington Democrats have packed the State Supreme Court with hard-leftists, whom they know will, in defiance of the Constitution, find a way to approve the income tax. We expect lawsuits to be filed as soon as the useless Republicans can get their act together. Individuals and businesses all over the state have already telegraphed that they will be initiating moves away from Washington if the tax passes. Washington businesses already pay a Business and Occupation tax, which is a “gross-receipts” tax, and now they will have to pay an income tax too. The bill has no provisions for reducing other state taxes, like the 10% sales tax, with the passage of the income tax.

Just today, Howard Schultz, the founder of Starbucks, announced his move to Florida. Tech executives implored the legislature not to pass the income tax, so we expect a flood of tech companies out of the state. Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and Meta all have big offices in the Seattle area, which are now at risk.

Emily Goodin at the New York Post reported that Jesse Jackson’s raucous funeral on Friday with three former Democrat presidents included a pile of attacks on President Trump. One would think the networks would love that — but on the Friday night newscasts, the broadcast networks skipped over the anti-Trump zingers, keeping it as positive and nebulous as possible.

For gossips, let’s note that Michelle Obama skipped this event again. Hillary Clinton was there. Jill Biden was there. Kamala Harris was there. Michelle skipped a black funeral in her own home town. None of these networks mentioned her, either.

ABC’s World News Tonight spent two minutes on the funeral with lots of upbeat music, and small upbeat quotes from Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, and Kamala Harris. Pierre Thomas gushed: “They came today 10,000 strong to help keep hope alive — not for a funeral, but a black church-style homegoing service. To celebrate the life and legacy of Jesse Jackson, civil rights legend and major American political figure….Jackson, that clarion voice for justice, will never be silenced.”

Jesse Jackson was the second-worst race-hustler and grifter to come out of the civil-rights disturbances of the 1960s (Al Sharpton takes the prize there). It came as no surprise to those who were paying attention that his son, Jesse Jackson Jr., was elected to Congress as a Democrat and eventually wound up in prison. He was a master of the race-shakedown, threatening big business with racial disturbances and racial lawfare unless he and his henchmen were paid off.

He will not be missed, except possibly with a sigh of relief.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor warned that the U.S. Supreme Court had asserted a “newfound authority” after it halted a New York state court order that would have required the state to redraw New York City’s only Republican-held congressional district before the 2026 midterm elections.

The ruling left the current lines in place for now in a closely watched fight over House control.

The emergency action stopped a January ruling that had found the district unfair to Black and Hispanic voters. The district is represented by Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., and covers Staten Island and part of Brooklyn. The move preserves the current map as New York’s election calendar advances.

Sotomayor, joined by Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson, said the court had inserted itself into a state election dispute before New York’s highest court had ruled.

She argued that the justices had acted without explanation and warned that the move could pull the court into election-law disputes nationwide as states continue to fight over congressional boundaries.

Malliotakis praised the decision, saying it kept New York’s 11th Congressional District intact and protected Staten Island and southern Brooklyn voters from losing the ability to elect a representative who reflects their views.

And so the battle lines are drawn.

Los Angeles schools were thrown into chaos after the FBI raided the home and office of embattled Superintendent Alberto Carvalho in connection with a widening investigation into a $6 million deal between the nation’s second-largest school system and an AI startup. Days later, the district’s board put him on paid administrative leave (he makes $440,000 a year).

According to federal officials, the agency executed a series of search warrants which included Carvalho’s home – during which they seized Carvalho’s work phone and other devices during Wednesday’s raid, according to district insiders. By Friday, the Board of Education voted unanimously to sideline him. Veteran administrator Andres Chait, the district’s chief of school operations, will step in as interim superintendent.

At the center of the FBI probe is a collapsed ed-tech startup called AllHere, which was given a $6 million LAUSD contract to build an artificial intelligence chatbot named “Ed,” pitched as a revolutionary tool to “democratize education.” Carvalho personally championed the project after arriving in Los Angeles in 2022, touting it at tech conferences as a game-changing way for students and parents to stay connected.

And of course, the bot was bullshit, and AllHere’s founder – Joanna Smith-Griffin, now faces federal fraud charges for allegedly inflating revenues and exaggerating the company’s client base. The criminal case remains unresolved as both sides discuss a possible deal, court records show.

In a betrayal of trust that has siphoned billions from American taxpayers, New York state officials were accused of gaming the Medicaid system for decades — forcing hospitals to fund their own federal matches in a scheme that authorities under President Donald Trump are none too pleased with.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, head of the U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, on Tuesday fired off a scathing letter to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, obtained by Newsmax, demanding answers to 50 questions about the state’s bloated $124 billion Medicaid program.

Oz painted a picture of rampant waste, fraud, and abuse, noting that New York spends a staggering $12,528 per beneficiary — 36% above the national average — and nearly 80% more per resident than any other state.

A fight over Virginia’s congressional maps is heating up, with Republicans and Democrats locked in a legal battle that could reshape the state’s representation in Washington.

Virginia voters were originally scheduled to head to the polls on April 21 to decide on a referendum on new congressional maps as the state’s Supreme Court reviewed a legal challenge. The proposed constitutional amendment would allow the General Assembly to redraw districts before the 2026 midterm elections.

Republicans, including House Minority Leader Terry Kilgore, sued to block the vote, arguing Democrats did not follow proper procedures. A lower court initially sided with Republicans, but the state’s high court ruled the referendum could proceed while legal arguments continued.

A Tazewell County judge has since issued a temporary restraining order blocking the April 21 referendum, pausing the vote as litigation continues.

“I’m inviting every legislator to join with my administration in reaffirming a fundamental principle. If you agree with this statement, then stand up and show your support. The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”

At once, Republicans bolted upright and heartily applauded an anodyne declaration with which at least 90% of Americans surely concur. Some, perhaps most, illegal aliens grudgingly would approve.

And yet Democrats sat there, flat in their chairs, neither standing nor cheering a tenet as basic as asserting that parents’ primary responsibility is to feed their children rather than nourish people who break into their homes.

Democrats silently scowled as Americans watched in astonishment.

Fairfax County Public Schools is no longer a district in quiet decline—it is a system in visible retreat.

Fairfax Schools experienced the largest decline in student enrollment of any district in the state from 2015 to 2025, according to University of Virginia’s Weldon Cooper Center for Public Policy. While neighboring districts such as Loudoun County Public Schools and Arlington Public Schools grew by 8,315 students and 3,429 students, respectively, Fairfax Schools saw a decrease of 6,894 students during the same period.

Declining enrollment in Virginia’s largest public school district doesn’t show signs of slowing. From 2025 to 2030, Weldon Cooper further estimates that the district’s student enrollment will decline an additional 6.6%.

While district leaders, especially the superintendent, Michelle Reid, continue to invoke Fairfax Schools’ past reputation as a beacon of public education and academic excellence, current priorities and indicators tell a different story. In 2025, Virginia Department of Education’s data show that roughly a quarter of students in Fairfax Schools failed their reading, math, and science Standards of Learning exams, compared with about 20% of students in the neighboring district of Loudoun.

Additionally, in December 2025, the state’s department of education reported that 40 federally identified public schools in Fairfax County need support—meaning that 20% of the district’s 199 public schools are underperforming.

You can’t depend on Democrats for much, but you can depend on them to destroy the public schools.

Time to leave.

Potential Democratic presidential candidates are blasting Donald Trump’s war against Iran, but their criticisms differ — and a few even echo some Trump talking points.

The problem for Democrats is that Americans have been waiting for decades for some President to do what Trump has been doing, from getting stuck into the immigration problem to robust action against state sponsors of Islamic terrorism like Iran, and everything the Democrats have to say against Trump’s actions merely pulls them deeper and deeper into the tarpit of obvious anti-Americanism.

Favoring every other nation except your own may work in Britain and Canada and Australia, and certainly works in Europe, but with Americans … not so much.

Left-wing Democrats are quietly escalating efforts to persuade New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for president. One big reason: They see no clear alternative. Bernie Sanders (84) is too old — and no other Sanders-like pol with national punch is emerging.

I guess Gavin Newsom counts as “moderate” in the present Democrat party. Telling.

But I can understand their problem. All of the Democrats with what might be called “national name recognition” are either obvious incompetents (like Kamala Harris) or obvious psychopaths (like every Democrat in Congress). The party is basically stuck between a rock and California.

The California Franchise Tax Board announced that it will refuse to treat newly created Trump Accounts as tax-deferred accounts for state tax purposes.

In doing so, California is purposefully making it difficult for families to fully utilize Trump Accounts.

Fresh analysis lays bare the Democrats’ crumbling position on immigration, with voters trusting Republicans more than ever to handle border security—even as radicals ramp up their attacks on ICE and deportations.

CNN data analyst Harry Enten highlighted the stark shift during a recent segment, noting that despite the barrage of anti-ICE rhetoric, Democrats are faring worse now than during Trump’s first term.

“Despite EVERYTHING that’s been going on, Democrats in a WORSE position than Trump’s 1st term!” Enten said.
