The New York Knicks fan who went viral after being caught on video dumping and stealing a trash can has been identified. The fan has been identified as Angie Baez who at the time of the incident was an executive at JP Morgan. JP Morgan has since announced Baez has been fired. In case you haven’t seen the video here it is: A JPMorgan Chase executive was fired after a viral video showed her dumping trash out of a Knicks-themed public trash can and taking the can during the Knicks championship parade in New York City. :mel_aston pic.twitter.com/jDpPPXMyTL — Complex (@Complex) June 24, 2026 Fox News reported the full details on the woman being fired: The New York Knicks winning the NBA Finals was a tremendous accomplishment for the organization and its players, while also bringing a joyous end to the team’s long championship drought for fans. It was also an excuse for those same fans to engage in some, well, typically New York behavior in the aftermath and celebrations. Particularly during the celebratory parade that went down the city’s “Canyon of Heroes” corridor on June 18. Fans climbed atop cars, garbage trucks and just about any elevated surface for a better view. But nobody attracted more attention than a woman who spotted a Knicks-colored trash can and promptly dumped its contents onto the street. It exemplified everything wrong with sports fans being unable to behave themselves during celebrations and parades. And it turns out the woman responsible exemplifies everything wrong with corporate diversity, equity and inclusion culture. On Tuesday night, the New York Post reported that the woman had been identified as Angie Baez, a 40-year-old financial industry executive. Seriously. The Post’s report identified her LinkedIn profile, listing her as “Executive Director of Community and Industry Engagement for Card and Connected Commerce at JPMorgan Chase.” Her previous work included serving as “Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” at The Infatuation, a website which reviews restaurants and neighborhood activities. Chase purchased the site in 2021 to grow its portfolio of lifestyle-based content for cardholders. The Post then contacted JPMorgan Chase, which confirmed that Baez had been fired, saying in a statement, “This employee is no longer with the company.” Baez was later seen on the subway with the trash can.

It works with artists/talent on creative projects, photoshoots, strategy, and business affairs.” Same Page Co. did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Post. Earlier in her career, Báez worked as diversity and inclusion program lead at Squarespace and held top jobs in diversity and inclusion roles at Saks Fifth Avenue, Hudson’s Bay, and Saks Off 5th, according to another online biography.

President Trump was supposed to walk into the Capitol on June 24, 2026, and hand Republican leaders an easy win. A bipartisan housing bill was ready for the cameras. The signing ceremony was set. The talking points were obvious. Then President Trump pulled the plug. His price for putting the ceremony back on the calendar is simple: pass the SAVE America Act first. On Truth Social, Trump said the planned housing news conference and signing would be canceled until Congress passes the SAVE America Act. He framed the election-integrity fight as urgent enough to call it a national emergency, turning what looked like a routine Capitol Hill photo op into a direct demand for voter citizenship proof. Nick Sortor caught the move immediately: BREAKING: President Trump abruptly CANCELS the signing of the Housing Bill at the Capitol today, DEMANDING the SAVE America Act be passed Wow! 47 is playing HARDBALL with John Thune Trump says the SAVE America Act is necessary as we’re in a “NATIONAL EMERGENCY” pic.twitter.com/rxnDLkG5gr — Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) June 24, 2026 The surprise is not that Trump wants the SAVE America Act passed. He has made that clear for a long time. The surprise is that he used a popular housing bill, one GOP leaders were eager to celebrate, as leverage to force the issue. The Senate Banking Committee said the Senate passed Chairman Tim Scott’s 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act by an 85-5 vote and presented it as a major affordability victory. The committee described the package as a way to expand housing supply, cut red tape, protect taxpayers, and make homeownership more attainable. The same official release said the bill was built to address housing shortages, modernize federal housing programs, and help more Americans buy homes. It also included provisions aimed at limiting large institutional investors in the single-family housing market, a politically potent issue for voters who feel locked out by Wall Street money. In normal Washington, that is exactly the kind of bill politicians rush to sign and claim credit for. Trump walked away from the photo op anyway. The New York Post reported Trump canceled the housing bill signing roughly two hours before he was expected to put pen to paper at the Capitol. According to the report, Trump demanded movement on the SAVE America Act first and treated the housing measure as secondary compared with lower interest rates, FISA reform, and the election bill. The Post also noted the housing bill passed Congress with huge bipartisan margins and had not yet been officially signed by congressional officers. That matters because the usual presidential action clock may not have been running in the normal way yet. So the housing bill is not dead. The signing ceremony is being used as pressure. And the pressure is aimed straight at the Senate. The White House SAVE America page says American citizens, and only American citizens, should decide American elections. The page describes the proposal as requiring a valid ID before registering to vote in a federal election, requiring documentary proof of citizenship, and limiting mail-in ballots to specific situations such as illness, disability, military service, or travel. It also says the legislation would direct states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls and calls on both parties to pass it. The White House frames the bill as a basic citizenship safeguard, pointing to other countries that require voter ID while arguing America should not be looser about who can participate in federal elections. The political message is blunt: citizenship has to come before convenience in federal voting rules. Congress.gov lists H.R.22 as the SAVE Act, sponsored by Rep. Chip Roy and introduced January 3, 2025. The official tracker shows the House passed it on April 10, 2025 by a 220-208 vote and sent it to the Senate the same day. The summary says the bill would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections, bar states from accepting applications without that proof, require ongoing cleanup of voter rolls, and add enforcement to keep noncitizens off the rolls. That official status is why Trump’s pressure campaign is aimed at the upper chamber right now, not the House. The House did its part more than a year ago. The bill has been sitting in the Senate ever since. Senate Majority Leader John Thune is now the man in the squeeze, and he is already saying the Senate math is ugly. Trump cancels housing bill signing, says the SAVE America Act has to pass first Thune calls housing a “strong win” on affordability and urged GOP candidates to “get out and talk about it" He told Semafor there's no “realistic way" to pass the SAVE America Act "I don't think… pic.twitter.com/9SmJ6cNWzj — Burgess Everett (@burgessev) June 24, 2026 Burgess Everett reported that Thune called the housing measure a strong win on affordability and urged GOP candidates to talk about it. He also said Thune told Semafor there is no realistic way to pass the SAVE America Act under the current Senate math. That is the quiet excuse Trump just dragged into the daylight. If Senate Republicans want the housing win, they now have to explain why the proof-of-citizenship election bill cannot move. The whiplash was obvious to Capitol Hill reporters, too. After the White House yesterday called the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act following House & Senate passage, “one of the most significant pieces of housing affordability legislation in American history," President Trump just cancelled the affordable housing bill signing with… https://t.co/lXXPNRIdkz pic.twitter.com/d76JAcBC9M — Craig Caplan (@CraigCaplan) June 24, 2026 A day earlier, the White House had been touting the housing package as historic affordability legislation. Then Trump yanked the signing event and put the focus back on election integrity. That is leverage applied at the exact moment it stings. Republican leaders can have their affordability headline whenever they want it. Trump just told them what it costs. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

The general who was the last American soldier to leave Afghanistan is now on his way out of one of the military’s most important commands. Gen. Christopher Donahue, the commanding general of U.S. Army Europe and Africa and commander of NATO’s Allied Land Command, will relinquish his command on July 2, 2026. His deputy, Major General Christopher Norrie, will perform command duties in the interim. Fox News reported that Donahue submitted his retirement paperwork at the request of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, putting a high-profile Afghanistan figure directly inside Hegseth’s broader shakeup of the senior ranks. That is the part that matters, because this is an abrupt retirement story inside the accountability fight Hegseth has been driving. The report also named Major General Christopher Norrie as the officer who will perform command duties while the Army moves through the transition. That means the command changes hands in days, not months. Donahue commands one of the most important theaters in the Army and runs NATO’s land command, yet he is stepping down after roughly 18 months in a job that normally runs about three years. Fox noted what nearly every report on Donahue eventually circles back to: he oversaw airport security during the chaotic 2021 withdrawal and was the final U.S. service member to board the last flight out of Afghanistan. The @AP confirms @nancyayoussef and @missy_ryan's reporting – Gen. Christopher Donahue, commanding general of U.S. Army Europe and Africa and commander of NATO’s Allied Land Command, will unexpectedly relinquish his command on July 2, 2026, per an Army statement. pic.twitter.com/mpcJRc5kLs — Konstantin Toropin (@KToropin) June 24, 2026 ABC News cited the Army’s statement thanking Donahue for his leadership and confirmed the July 2 handoff after just 18 months in the post. ABC also reported something else worth flagging: the U.S. Army Europe and Africa command is set to be downgraded from a four-star command to a three-star post, according to a U.S. official. The outlet placed that timing at the halfway point of a tour normally expected to run roughly three years, in the kind of top command where continuity is supposed to matter for Europe, Africa, and NATO land coordination. That detail reframes the whole exit. A four-star officer needs a four-star slot, and when the slot disappears, retirement becomes the practical path. Norrie, the deputy, will serve as acting commander while the transition plays out. According to the U.S. Army, Donahue only assumed command in Wiesbaden in December 2024, after previously commanding the 82nd Airborne Division and serving in Europe during the Ukraine mission. Gen. Christopher Cavoli described him at the time as one of the Army’s most experienced warfighters, with more than two dozen deployments and a parallel NATO land forces role. The Army’s own account underscored how fresh the assignment was: Donahue took the Europe/Africa post less than two years before this handoff, not at the end of a long tour. That makes the timing hard to ignore, especially with Afghanistan accountability and general-officer cuts moving at the same time inside one of the Army’s most sensitive overseas commands. That record matters. Donahue is a decorated combat commander and a former Delta Force commander, and the Afghanistan connection still follows him. It is about accountability for Afghanistan, and Donahue is one of the most recognizable faces tied to that withdrawal. New from @CBSNews: Another high-ranking general is exiting. Gen. Chris Donahue, commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, a West Point graduate, former Delta Force commander, and former commander of the 82nd Airborne Division, has submitted his retirement papers, sources told… — Jennifer Jacobs (@JenniferJJacobs) June 24, 2026 The accountability push is not new, and it is not vague. On May 20, 2025, Hegseth directed a Department of War review of the U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan. In his U.S. Department of War statement, Hegseth named the toll directly: 13 U.S. service members and roughly 170 civilians killed at Abbey Gate. He said President Trump had promised accountability, and he directed Sean Parnell to convene a Special Review Panel to examine the decisions, interview witnesses, and conduct a full post-mortem of how the chain of events unfolded. The panel was tasked with reviewing records, talking to witnesses, tracing decisions, and producing a detailed after-action account of the withdrawal. That gives the Afghanistan story an official accountability channel with names, dates, witnesses, records, command decisions, and a review structure now sitting inside the Pentagon’s chain of accountability as the administration keeps pressing the issue. President Trump and Hegseth have hammered the Biden withdrawal from the start. The review put real machinery behind the criticism. There is also a bigger structural story underneath all of this. Hegseth has been thinning the top of the officer corps. USNI News reported on his “less generals, more G.I.s” memo, which called for a minimum 20% reduction of active-component four-star officers, a 20% cut to National Guard general officers, and an additional 10% reduction across the general and flag ranks tied to a realignment of the Unified Command Plan. That is the backdrop for downgrading Donahue’s command from four stars to three. Fewer top slots means fewer four-star generals, and the Europe-Africa post is now reportedly on that list. The memo’s point was simple: shift weight away from senior headquarters and back toward service members doing the fighting, training, and deterrence work. Predictably, some former commanders and national security voices are unhappy about the pace of these moves. The continued unwillingness of Secretary Hegseth to explain why these Officers are being removed “without cause” leads to speculation about his motives and undermines trust among the Officer Corps and in the Ranks. Is the Secretary of the Army ok with this? SASC? Retired 4 stars? https://t.co/PyTQoC8e3T — Ben Hodges (@general_ben) June 24, 2026 That reaction shows exactly why this fight matters. A leaner, more accountable senior officer corps is what President Trump and Hegseth campaigned to deliver. To be precise about it, Donahue is retiring and relinquishing command. He is not facing criminal charges, and the Afghanistan collapse involved a chain of political and military decisions far above one officer. Still, he is the general forever stamped on that withdrawal, captured in the night-vision image as the last American boot off the ground. For years, the Biden administration treated Afghanistan like a closed chapter that nobody at the top would ever have to answer for. The review is open, the four-star ranks are shrinking, and one of the most visible figures from that day is now headed out the door. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport.

President Trump’s mail-ballot crackdown just got its enforcement mechanism, and Democrats heard it in plain English. Postmaster General David Steiner sat before the Senate on Wednesday and confirmed what the resistance feared most. No voter list, no outbound federal ballot mail. That simple. It happened at a June 24, 2026 hearing before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, where Democratic senators tried to corner Steiner over the U.S. Postal Service’s proposed ballot-mail rule. Sen. Gary Peters wanted a yes or no. He asked whether USPS would still mail a state’s ballots if that state refused to turn its absentee voter list over to the federal government. Steiner answered no. He said that under the proposed regulation, USPS would tell the state it needed the manifest first. HUGE NEWS: The US Postmaster General has just told Congress that the Post Office WILL NOT deliver mail-in ballots in the 2026 midterms to states who refuse to comply with President Trump's election integrity executive order This order makes sure mail-in recipients are… pic.twitter.com/TC0ezihX3e — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) June 24, 2026 Here is where this started. On March 31, 2026, President Trump signed Executive Order 14399, titled “Ensuring Citizenship Verification and Integrity in Federal Elections.” The Federal Register publication of the executive order directs the Postmaster General to begin rulemaking for mail-in and absentee ballots in federal elections. It says states may notify USPS before a federal election and submit lists of voters eligible to receive ballots through the mail. That is the list-and-mailballot connection at the center of the fight before November. The key line: USPS shall not transmit mail-in or absentee ballots from individuals unless those individuals are enrolled on a state-specific Mail-In and Absentee Participation List. The order also leans on DHS and Social Security infrastructure for citizenship verification and gives the Attorney General enforcement teeth, including possible lawful funding consequences for states that refuse to comply. USPS then did exactly what the order told it to do. On June 2, 2026, the agency published a Federal Register proposed rule titled “Ballot Mail for Federal Elections.” USPS says the rule follows Section 3 of EO 14399 and rests on its own authority under Title 39 sections 401 and 404. The agency is treating ballot mail as a postal-standard issue with national election-integrity consequences. The proposal requires state-specific Mail-In and Absentee Participation Lists and a Federal Ballot Mail Portal process. In plain English, states would have to feed the system before USPS moves the outbound federal ballot mail. Before it accepts outbound ballot mail, USPS would check whether that mail is going to people enrolled for inclusion on the state’s list. That turns the list into the gate. If a mailing does not pass that verification, it will not be accepted and will be returned to the mailer. And if a state never submitted the required certification at all, those mailings get returned too. USPS is careful to say it is not changing anyone’s eligibility to vote and is not taking over state voter rolls. States stay responsible for the contents of their own lists. So this is a compliance rule, not a partisan hit list. The headline says blue states for a reason, though. The proposal applies to any state that refuses the data and manifest requirement, but the states screaming loudest are the Democratic-led, mail-heavy ones that built their turnout machine on mass mail ballots. That is who is fighting it, and that is who Peters was speaking for at the hearing. PETERS: Yes or no, if a state refuses to turn their absentee voter list to the federal government, will the Postal Service still mail their ballots under this proposed rule? POSTMASTER GENERAL STEINER: No. PETERS: So the proposed rule basically coerces states to hand over their… pic.twitter.com/5bnJb5Atnr — Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) June 24, 2026 The public record of the hearing backs up the exchange. C-SPAN describes Democratic senators grilling Steiner over the proposal that requires states to provide information about voters receiving mail-in ballots for federal elections. C-SPAN’s page states plainly that under the proposed rule, USPS would not deliver mail-in ballots in states that did not provide the data during the federal election cycle. The hearing was not a theoretical policy fight. It put the Postmaster General himself on the record, under questioning from senators, about what the Postal Service would do when a state refuses the voter-list requirement. That matters because the answer came in an oversight hearing, not in an anonymous leak or a social-media rumor, with the exchange preserved on video for voters to see. That is why the moment matters. The rule text already pointed in this direction, but the hearing turned the legal language into a simple operational answer. That is the whole ballgame. The mechanism is the leverage. NPR captured the same moment, with Peters asking whether USPS would mail ballots for a state that refuses to hand over its absentee voter list, and Steiner answering no under the proposed regulation. NPR notes USPS is facing lawsuits from Democrats, nearly two dozen Democratic-led states, and voting rights groups over President Trump’s voting order. It also reports the Senate Democratic caucus has asked USPS to abandon the proposed rule entirely. The report also places the fight inside a bigger Postal Service hearing, where Steiner was discussing USPS finances, delivery obligations, and the agency’s role as an independent institution. That context makes the answer harder for Democrats to wave away. Steiner was not riffing on cable news; he was answering in a formal oversight setting about the Postal Service’s own proposed regulation. That tells you everything about who is scared of basic verification. David Steiner is the 76th Postmaster General and CEO of the Postal Service, according to USPS, and he began his tenure on July 15, 2025. He was put in place by the USPS Board of Governors and serves on that board, which matters because the Postal Service is structured as an independent institution with its own governance. USPS also notes that Steiner came from the private sector, including a long run at Waste Management, before taking over the Postal Service. That background matters here because the proposed rule is being discussed as an operational standard, not as campaign chatter. The man running the system is the one saying the manifest comes first, before ballot mail moves. He is the man holding the manifest requirement, and he did not blink when the Democrats pushed. HUGE WIN FOR ELECTION INTEGRITY! US Postmaster General just dropped the hammer on Congress: The Post Office WILL NOT deliver mail-in ballots for the 2026 midterms to any states that refuse to comply with President Trump’s election integrity executive order! No more shady,… pic.twitter.com/WyvlT5tnzY — Gunther Eagleman™ (@GuntherEagleman) June 24, 2026 The left is calling this coercion. Democracy Docket, a hostile legal-activist outlet, ran the same Steiner exchange and framed the proposal as forcing states like Oregon to hand the Trump administration sensitive voter data. It reported that Sen. Maggie Hassan urged USPS to withdraw the rule and flagged the ongoing court challenges. The outlet’s reaction is useful because it shows exactly how the Democratic legal machine reads the rule. They understand the pressure point: states that want federal ballot mail delivered through USPS would have to participate in the list and manifest system. That is the whole reason the lawsuits are moving so aggressively before the midterms. The fight is not over envelopes; it is over whether Washington can force real verification into the mail-ballot pipeline. Strip away the spin and the complaint is simple: Democrats do not want to verify who is getting a federal ballot in the mail. That should worry voters, not comfort them. Now the precise legal status, because it matters. This is a proposed rule, not a final one. The comment period closes July 2, 2026, and the lawsuits from Democratic states and activist groups are still working through the courts. Nothing here is locked in stone yet. But the direction is set, and the enforcement answer is now on the record from the top of the Postal Service. For years, mass mail-ballot states ran their elections with little federal verification of who actually belonged on the list. President Trump’s order, and the rule built to carry it out, finally puts a check on that pipeline. Steiner said no, and that no has teeth. Hand over the list, or the federal ballots stop at the dock. This is a Guest Post from our friends over at WLTReport. View the original article here.

New York Democrats were torched by Progressives in Tuesday’s primaries. One of the biggest upsets was Democrat Rep. Dan Goldman losing to Brad Lander who is a former member of the Democratic Socialists of America. Lander was endorsed by both Senator Bernie Sanders and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The race was not even close! Take a look: Fox News reported more on Goldman’s defeat: Former New York City Comptroller Brad Lander, a former Democratic Socialists of America member backed by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, defeated Rep. Dan Goldman in Tuesday’s Democratic primary for New York’s 10th Congressional District. Lander, who describes himself as a “liberal Zionist,” ousted Goldman in a head-to-head primary in one of the nation’s bluest House seats. The district spans Lower Manhattan and parts of western Brooklyn, taking in liberal neighborhoods from Greenwich Village and the Lower East Side to Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope and Sunset Park. The result marked a victory for the city’s ascendant progressive wing, with Sanders and Mamdani helping Lander topple Goldman, a former federal prosecutor who served as lead counsel during the first impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump. Goldman was first elected to Congress in 2022 after winning a crowded Democratic primary in the newly redrawn district. Lander wasn’t the only progressive candidate who was endorsed by Mamdani and won. Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated five-term incumbent Adriano Espaillat in New York’s 13th congressional primary. Democratic socialist Darializa Avila Chevalier, backed by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, will defeat Rep. Adriano Espaillat in congressional primary, CNN projects. https://t.co/pqkfEn1URc pic.twitter.com/ioGW29A7mv — CNN (@CNN) June 24, 2026 BBC reported more on Mamdani’s clean sweep in endorsements: US congressman Dan Goldman has been defeated in a New York primary election, capping a clean sweep for candidates backed by New York’s democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani as he seeks to tilt the Democratic Party to the left. Goldman was beaten by progressive challenger Brad Lander in New York’s 10th congressional district in a contest that laid bare the party’s divisions over the Israel-Gaza war. Lander has accused Israel of genocide in Gaza. Goldman, a two-term incumbent, was backed by pro-Israel groups. Two other candidates, both democratic socialists endorsed by Mamdani, won their primary races on Tuesday, in a boost for the party’s left wing in America’s largest city. Assemblywoman Claire Valdez unseated Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso in the 7th district. Darializa Avila Chevalier, a doctoral student who has joined pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, won her race in New York’s 13th district. Lander, who was also endorsed by Vermont’s democratic socialist Senator Bernie Sanders, easily beat Goldman by 65.7% to 34.1%, with most votes counted. The left-wing former New York City comptroller’s bid against Goldman, who was first elected to Congress in 2022, was seen as a test of Mamdani’s political influence.
