Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called on President Joe Biden to put an end to the reported mistreatment of Haitian asylum-seekers at the U.S. southern border.

What is so heartbreaking is that plastic bag the Haitian man is holding, it probably contains everything he owns.

Trump Tower Losing Renters? LOL

A $100 million loan on Trump Tower in midtown Manhattan was placed on a watch list Monday as vacancies in the building increase.

Occupancy has decreased to 78.9 percent from 85.9 percent at the end of 2020, Bloomberg News reported, citing Wells Fargo, the master servicer of the loan.

AOC Apparently Didn't Do A Background Check On Her Dress Designer. FYI: I ALWAYS DO!

Proving irony never goes out of style, Aurora James, the designer of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’ (D-NY) viral “Tax the Rich” Met Gala gown, is a tax deadbeat herself, according to a report by the New York Post.

James is “a notorious tax deadbeat with unpaid debts dogging her in multiple states,” reported the Post, digging up records that show six IRS tax liens totaling $103,220 on the parent company of her fashion brand, three open tax warrants in New York State for failing to withhold $14,798 in income taxes from employee paychecks (plus twelve other since-resolved NY tax warrants), and a $17,000 fine for failing to carry worker’s compensation insurance.

Sept. 18 rally organizer asks attendees not to wear pro-Trump clothing

The organizer for Saturday's “Justice for J6” rally is asking that attendees do not wear pro-Trump clothing at the event.

Matt Braynard, the organizer behind the rally and a former Trump campaign staffer, asked attendees in a tweet on Tuesday not to display any symbols that are supportive of former President Trump or President Biden, contending the demonstration is “100% about #JusticeforJ6 and not the election or any candidate.”

Federal Judge Says No To Running Down Protesters In Flori-duh
A federal judge on Thursday blocked part of a sweeping anti-protest bill enacted by Florida Republicans and Governor Ron DeSantis, writing that officials’ reaction to peaceful protests in the summer of 2020 is akin to the unlawful racist backlash seen during 1960s protests against Jim Crow laws.
