“LET THEM.” MAMDANI RESPONDS AS REPUBLICANS TRY TO MAKE HIM THE FACE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani had a direct answer when asked about Republicans trying to turn him into the national face of the Democratic Party: “Let them.”

In an interview with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl, Mamdani said his administration has already shown what democratic socialist leadership can look like in practice. He pointed to free childcare for two-year-olds, money returned to tenants affected by bad landlords, thousands of potholes repaired, and what he described as historically low crime in the city.

For Mamdani, the message was clear: the policies Republicans are trying to attack are the same policies many working families have been asking for — affordable childcare, tenant protection, safer streets, and a city government focused on everyday people.

His response also shows why he is becoming a bigger figure in national Democratic politics. Instead of running away from the label, he is defending his record and arguing that results matter more than political fear campaigns.

Whether Republicans use him in attack ads or not, Mamdani seems ready for the fight — and his message is simple: let voters judge the work.

BREAKING: NO JET FOR YOU! Jamie Raskin reminds Trump that the Constitution’s ban on gifts does NOT contain an exception for $400 million Boeings!

Queried on the matter by PabloReports on the steps of the Capitol, Rep. Jamie Raskin pushed back on the idea that Donald Trump could walk away from office with control over the luxury jet gifted by Qatar, pointing to a part of the Constitution that MAGA Republicans suddenly seem reluctant to discuss.

Asked whether Trump gets to keep the aircraft after leaving office, Raskin's answer was simple.

"No, he does not. You know why? Because the Constitution says he can't do it."

It's worth noting that Raskin isn't some pundit offering an opinion. He's a former constitutional law professor and ranking Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, making him one of the people in Congress most qualified to explain what the Constitution actually says. The committee handles constitutional questions surrounding presidential power and accountability.

The issue isn't hypothetical. Trump has repeatedly defended accepting the plane and has said it would eventually be transferred to his presidential library after he leaves office.

Critics argue that it amounts to keeping control of a $400 million gift from a foreign government. Congress never approved that arrangement.

The irony is that MAGA keeps describing the aircraft as a "gift" that saves money. Even setting aside the constitutional questions, the plane still has to be rebuilt to Air Force One standards, estimates for which have ranged as high as $1 billion – hardly "free."

Raskin pointed to the Constitution's Foreign Emoluments Clause, which prohibits presidents from accepting gifts, payments, offices, or titles from foreign governments without congressional consent.
The plane doesn't belong to Trump, Raskin insisted. If he wants to keep it, he has to do what every other president has done and ask Congress.

To make the point, Raskin brought up Abraham Lincoln, someone Trump likes to compare himself to. During the Civil War, Lincoln received elephant tusks from the King of Siam and still asked Congress whether he could keep them. Congress said no, and the gift went to the State Department.

Lincoln asked permission over elephant tusks. Trump wants to let slide a $400 million jet with at least that much investment by taxpayers in renovations.

Raskin said that if Trump refuses to follow the constitutional process, Congress can take possession of the aircraft and determine what happens to it, including returning it to Qatar.

This issue is remarkably simple. If a foreign government gives a president a $400 million aircraft, does the Constitution apply?

We agree with Raskin. There is no rational argument that it doesn’t. He can't have it

"A millionaire saw his ex-girlfriend begging on the street with three children who looked a lot like him — what happened next will break your heart."

It was a cold December morning in downtown Chicago when Ethan Wallace, a 35-year-old tech millionaire, stepped out of his Tesla to grab a coffee before a business meeting. He was checking his emails when something on the sidewalk made him freeze.

There, sitting against a brick wall, was a woman with messy hair, a torn coat, and three children huddled around her for warmth. She held a cardboard sign that read: "Please help us. Anything matters."

But it wasn't the sign that made Ethan stop—it was her face. Clara.

His college ex-girlfriend, the woman he once thought he would marry. And the three children by her side… they were unmistakably like him. The same sharp nose, hazel eyes, and dimples. His heart pounded wildly.

For a moment, Ethan thought his mind was playing tricks on him. It had been over seven years since he last saw Clara. Back then, he had broken up with her after receiving an offer to move to San Francisco and build his startup. He promised to stay in touch, but he never did. The company exploded into success, and his life became a whirlwind of meetings, investors, and luxury.

Now, she was right there, on the street, begging for change.

He walked over, unsure if she would recognize him. She looked up; her eyes went wide, and then she quickly looked down, as if ashamed. Ethan's chest tightened.

"Clara?" he whispered.

She hesitated. "Ethan… it's been a long time."

He wanted to ask her a thousand questions. What happened? Whose children were these? Why didn't she contact him? But the youngest child started coughing, and Clara pulled him closer, whispering softly to him.

Ethan didn't think. He simply acted. He took off his coat and wrapped the trembling child in it. Then, without another word, he said, "Come with me."

Clara's lips trembled. "Ethan, I can't..."

"Yes, you can," he said. "You are not staying here another minute."

And just like that, the life he had built began to crumble, starting right there, on that freezing Chicago street...Full story below 👇👇
