    Ex-Mayor de Blasio touts socialist Mamdani as New York City's answer to Trump policies
    Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio endorsed democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani for mayor on Tuesday morning.Penning his endorsement in an opinion piece for the New York Daily News, the former mayor highlighted Mamdani's commitment to affordability for working-class New Yorkers."We dont just need Zohran Mamdani to be our mayor because he has the right ideas, or because they can be achieved. We need him because in his heart and in his bones he cannot accept a city that prices out the people who built it and keep it running," de Blasio said.Mamdani's Democratic primary win proved that New Yorkers are aligned with his progressive mission, including freezing the rent, providing free child care and establishing city-run grocery stores, de Blasio said.MAMDANI'S PRIMARY WIN EXPOSES DEMOCRAT DIVIDE AS TOP LEADERS WITHHOLD ENDORSEMENTSWhen reached for comment, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa told Fox News Digital, "De Blasio nearly destroyed NYC and defunded law enforcement. His endorsement of Mamdani is a warning. Mamdani is de Blasio 2.0, but far more dangerous."EX-NYC MAYOR BILL DE BLASIO SAYS THERES A LOT OF EXAGGERATION OVER MAMDANI FEARSDespite Mamdani's success reaching New Yorkers this year, the former mayor acknowledged that many are still skeptical that he can deliver on his ambitious campaign promises, writing, "I can say definitely and I know better than anyone that the answer is yes."The former New York City leader said he faced the same criticisms during his tenure as mayor of the nation's biggest city, from 2014 to 2021."Throughout my time in City Hall, the argument that my vision was recklessly idealistic that it was both unrealistic and fraught with dangerous unintended consequences was thrown at my plans for affordable housing, paid sick days, the $15 minimum wage and most of all, pre-K for all all initiatives I delivered on," he said.The former mayor defended Mamdani's promises, including rent freezes, which his own administration secured several times for New Yorkers."My administration delivered a rent freeze for rent-stabilized apartments three times, helping millions make ends meet as they were afflicted by the effects of the Great Recession and then COVID. Its not a question of possibility its a matter of political will," de Blasio added.As President Donald Trump passed his "big, beautiful bill" this year, which de Blasio described as "cutting SNAP benefits, gutting Medicaid, and once again leaving working people out to dry," he said the need for an "unwavering fighter in City Hall has never been higher."Describing Mamdani's radical vision for New York City as building on his own impact there, de Blasio told voters it's time to "go even further" with Mamdani as mayor.The former mayor had refused to throw his political weight behind any of the mayoral candidates before Tuesday's announcement.Signaling support for Mamdani and defending his campaign promises, de Blasio made it clear throughout the race that he would not endorse former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, trolling him on social media and fanning the flames of their long-held feud.While de Blasio's endorsement shouldn't come as much of a surprise, several New York Democratic leaders continue to withhold their endorsements for Mamdani, despite his securing the Democratic nomination earlier this summer.CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPNew York Gov. Kathy Hochul, House Minority Leader Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Sen. Chuck Schumer have yet to endorse Mamdani.Fox News Digital reached out to incumbent Mayor Eric Adams, Cuomo and Mamdani but did not immediately receive a response.

    Airbnb co-founder speaks out on why he ditched the Democratic Party, voted for Trump
    Airbnb co-founder Joe Gebbia revealed why he left the Democratic Party and voted for President Donald Trump in an interview published Monday citing border security concerns."This is a real problem and theres no reason why we shouldnt be enforcing the laws of our country and our border.

Like, what am I missing here? Is this normal? Like, it seems theres no enforcement of our own border. Like, dont nations need borders to be a nation?

    Our leaders abandoned Chicago. Trump is right: It's time to call in the Guard
    The South Side of Chicago is a war zone. In 2023, the city recorded 617 homicides and more than 2,000 shootings, with neighborhoods like Englewood and Woodlawn hit the hardest.Just a few weeks ago, I stood over the body of a man who had been shot dead. Hundreds of young souls will be killed by years end.So I was not surprised when President Donald Trump said, "Chicago's a mess. You have an incompetent mayor, grossly incompetent. And we'll straighten that one out probably next." After all, the governments first responsibility is to protect its citizens. When endless violence continues to plague the lives of people around me, action is needed.BLUE CITY RESIDENTS PLEAD FOR TRUMPS HELP AS OUT OF CONTROL CRIME LEADS TO ANOTHER BLOODY WEEKENDHow did Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson both Democrats respond to Trumps words?"As Donald Trump attempts to create chaos that distracts from his problems, well call it out for what it is," Pritzker said, pushing back against Trumps comments. "Crime rates are improving. Homicides are down by more than 30% in Chicago in the last year alone." He added that Trumps approach was a distraction from real issues: "We wont be distracted by his authoritarian push."Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson responded that Trumps approach was "uncoordinated, uncalled for, and unsound" and that "unlawfully deploying" the National Guard to Chicago could "inflame tensions between residents and law enforcement." He later added, "Its not democratic. Its unconstitutional."Just last week, on Aug. 25, Trump signed an executive order to prevent federal funds from going to Illinois because of its cashless bail policy.TRUMP SIGNS EXECUTIVE ORDERS TO ELIMINATE NO-CASH BAIL FOR SUSPECTS IN DC AND NATIONWIDEYou would think that reducing crime, especially on the South Side, would be a bipartisan effort. After all, didnt Black Lives Matter a group which Pritzker and Johnson have supported say that far too many Black lives are being lost? Why dont the people in my neighborhood, especially the children walking to school, deserve the fullest protection that is their inherent right as American citizens?I see the deployment of troops onto Chicagos streets as a necessary shock-and-awe measure. The Chicago Police Department has done a good job in recent months bringing down murders and crime, but they are led by "defund the police" leadership. Imagine how much better the force would be with a law-and-order mayor.Right now, under the current leadership in our city, gangs still control our streets, human trafficking goes unchecked and drugs flow through here like the Mississippi River. We need a reset. We need a reordering of society where our kids come first and the gangsters last.Lets not kid ourselves: Much of the violence we see today stems from post-1960s liberalism. We divorced far too many people from the American Dream with policies of dependency. We favored teachers' unions over educating our children. Only 4% of the kids at the school down the street from my church can read at grade level. Far too many kids have been shot, and we need to guarantee their safe passage to and from school. We have families driving down the street who have been shot at. Ive presided over far too many funerals and I dont want to do any more of them.Enough.We dont have any further to slide downward. We are at rock bottom. Our left-wing mayor and governor, who value virtue-signaling and diversity over real solutions, are not going to help. So I dont have a problem with Trump sending in the troops.CLICK HERE FOR MORE FOX NEWS OPINIONAt the same time, I must say that I see the National Guard as only a temporary fix. I see it as the equivalent of getting a heroin addict into rehab. The soldiers can patrol the streets and arrest criminals. But they cannot rebuild broken families. They cannot mentor a fatherless teenager who is about to be recruited into a gang. They cannot create jobs, teach life skills or restore hope. When the soldiers leave, the same old conditions remain, and the cycle of violence resumes.The real answer lies not in military boots but in community roots. For more than a decade, my nonprofit, Project H.O.O.D., has been working to improve our community.Weve trained young men in trades like construction and masonry, putting them to work on the very center were building.Weve mentored boys and girls who would otherwise be pulled into the streets. Weve provided entrepreneurship programs, job readiness training and faith-based guidance that changes lives from the inside out.Weve seen results. Weve steered countless young people onto the path of opportunity where they become responsible citizens capable of caring for their families. These are not abstract ideas these are tangible victories, won block by block, life by life.The National Guard may calm the streets. But its organizations like Project H.O.O.D. that will change the streets. Thats where Trump and America must focus if we want to win this country back, one block at a time.CLICK HERE TO READ MORE FROM PASTOR COREY BROOKS

    Federal judge releases woman accused of threatening to kill Trump
    A woman arrested last month for allegedly making death threats against President Donald Trump has been released by a federal judge who has clashed with the Trump administration several times this year, including by attempting to block the deportations of Venezuelan migrants under the Alien Enemies Act.Chief Judge James Boasberg ordered Nathalie Rose Jones,50, released no later than Aug. 27 under electronic monitoring and instructed her to visit a psychiatrist in New York City once she retrieves her belongings from a local police station.Boasbergs order came after US Magistrate Judge Moxila Upadhyaya ordered Jones to be held without bond and undergo a competency evaluation. She cited her "very troubling conduct" of social media posts aimed at the president, combined with the fact that she had then traveled to the District of Columbia, per WUSA9.INDIANA WOMAN FACES FEDERAL CHARGES FOR SOCIAL MEDIA THREATS TO DISEMBOWEL TRUMPJones took part in a"dignified arrest ceremony" for Trump at a protest in Washington, D.C., which circumnavigated the White House complex and was arrested following an investigation into her series of concerning Instagram and Facebook posts.In early August, Jones labeled Trump a terrorist, referred to his administration as a dictatorship, and stated that Trump had caused extreme and unnecessary loss of life in relation to the coronavirus."I am willing to sacrificially kill this POTUS by disemboweling him and cutting out his trachea with Liz Cheney and all The Affirmation present," an Aug. 6 post directed at the FBI states.In an Aug. 14 post directed to Secretary of DefensePete Hegseth, Jones allegedly wrote, "Please arrange the arrest and removal ceremony of POTUS Trump as a terrorist on the American People from 10-2pm at the White House on Saturday, August 16th, 2025."The next day, Jones voluntarily agreed to an interview with the Secret Service, during which she called Trump a "terrorist" and a "nazi," authorities said.She said that if she had the opportunity, she would kill Trump at "the compound" if she had to and that she had a "bladed object," which she said was the weapon she would use to "carry out her mission of killing" the president.Following the protest in Washington, D.C on Aug. 16, Jones was interviewed again by the Secret Service, during which she admitted that she had made threats towards Trump during her interview the previous day.She was charged with threatening to kill, kidnap, or seriously hurt the president and sending messages across state lines that contained threats to kidnap or harm someone.BONDI DOJ FILES COMPLAINT ALLEGING MISCONDUCT BY FEDERAL JUDGE JAMES BOASBERGUpadhyaya expressed concern over the gravity of Joness threats and ruled they were serious enough to justify detention and scheduled a status conference and preliminary hearing for Sept. 2, with prosecutors required to secure an indictment by Sept. 15.But Joness lawyers, who had argued their client was unarmed and had no real desire to follow through with the threats, appealed Upadhyayas detention decision, and Boasberg overturned Upadhyayas detention order.Fox News Digital has reached out to the Justice Department for comment.Boasberg, a President Barack Obama appointee, has found himself in the crosshairs of the Trump administration several times this year.In March, he issued a temporary restraining order seeking to block Trumps use of a 1798 wartime-era immigration law, the Alien Enemies Act, to summarilydeport hundreds of Venezuelan nationalsto El Salvador.Boasberg ordered all planes bound for El Salvador to be "immediately" returned to U.S. soil, which did not happen, and later, ordered a new investigation to determine whether the Trump administration had complied with his orders.In April, he ruled that the court had grounds to move on possible contempt proceedings, though that ruling was stayed by a higher appeals court, which has yet to consider the matter.His March 15 order touched off a complex legal saga that ultimately spawned dozens of deportation-related court challenges across the country though the one brought before Boasberg was the very first and later prompted the Supreme Court to rule, on two separate occasions, that the hurried removals had violated migrants' due process protections underthe U.S. Constitution.Trump has publicly attacked him as a "Radical Left Lunatic" and called for his impeachment.In July, Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a misconduct complaint against Boasberg, accusing him of making improper comments about President Trump's administration, Chief Justice Roberts, and roughly two dozen other federal judges remarks that she allegedly argued undermined the integrity and impartiality of the judiciary.Boasberg allegedly warned the judges that he believed the Trump Administration would "disregard rulings of federal courts" and trigger "a constitutional crisis.""Although his comments would be inappropriate even if they had some basis, they were even worse because Judge Boasberg had no basistheTrump Administrationhas always complied with all court orders," the complaint reads. "Nor did Judge Boasberg identify any purported violations of court orders to justify his unprecedented predictions."Fox News Breanne Deppisch and Louis Casiano contributed to this report.

    Omar's net worth jumps to as much as $30M in new disclosure after claiming 'I am not a millionaire'
    Rep. Ilhan Omar's net worth has swelled to as much as $30 million in just one year, her congressional financial disclosures reveal.The 2025 disclosure, first reported by the Washington Free Beacon, shows that Omar and her husband, Tim Mynett, have a net worth ranging from $6 million to $30 million, despite claims earlier this year that she was "not a millionaire." The vast majority of the wealth comes from Mynett's two companies, a winery in California and a venture capital firm.Disclosures from the end of 2023 showed that those ownership stakes were valued at just $51,000, and they grew little in 2024.The Monday disclosure comes after years of Omar attempting to downplay or outright deny her personal wealth in comments to the press.FLASHBACK: DEMOCRAT REP ILHAN OMAR SAID US SHOULD BE MORE FEARFUL OF WHITE MEN IN 2018"Since getting elected, there has been a coordinated right-wing disinformation campaign claiming all sorts of wild things, including the ridiculous claim I am worth millions of dollars which is categorically false," Omar told Business Insider earlier this year."I am not a millionaire," she added shortly afterward.She hit back on claims about her personal wealth in February, encouraging critics to "try checking my public financial statements."Omar's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.MINNESOTA GOV. TIM WALZ SAYS IT'S TIME TO 'TAKE SERIOUS ACTION' AFTER DEADLY SCHOOL SHOOTINGMynett's firm, Rose Lake Capital, is valued between $5 million and $25 million according to the 2025 disclosure, while the winery, eStCru Wines, is valued between $1 million and $5 million.News of the disclosure comes as Omar has renewed a push for gun control following last week's school shooting in Minneapolis.Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., appeared on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday, when she called for "getting rid of assault weapons" in the wake of the deadly shooting at Anunciation Catholic School.TOP REPUBLICAN POINTS FINGER AT WALZ'S TRANS AGENDA AFTER CATHOLIC SCHOOL SHOOTINGCLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP"It is important for us to make sure that we are offering a slew of solutions," Omar told CNN anchor Brianna Keilar. "One is to make sure that we are getting rid of assault weapons in our community."Fox News' Marc Tamasco contributed to this report.
