A top advisor to NYC’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani has been exposed for deleted social media posts attacking “white civility” and “white politeness” after a confrontation on a commuter train, adding to a growing pattern of radical rhetoric from administration officials. Story Snapshot Drashti Brahmbhatt, advisor to NYC Mayor Mamdani, posted deleted tweets rejecting “white standards of politeness” after a 2021 train confrontation Brahmbhatt claimed an older white woman gave her “death glares” during a phone call, prompting her racially-charged response Mayor Mamdani has remained silent on the controversy despite defending other aides with similar radical posts The incident adds to a troubling pattern of Mamdani administration officials promoting divisive, anti-white rhetoric Another Radical Aide Exposed Drashti Brahmbhatt, an advisor to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, authored inflammatory tweets in November 2021 describing a confrontation with an “older white woman” on a Metro-North Railroad train. Brahmbhatt claimed the woman gave her “death glares” during a 40-minute phone call, though she insisted she spoke softly. The advisor then confronted the woman and proceeded to reject what she called “white standards of politeness” and “white civility” in posts that have since been deleted. These tweets surfaced on February 10, 2026, as Brahmbhatt served in Mamdani’s administration. “I don’t need to follow white standards of ‘politeness,’” Brahmbhatt insisted. https://t.co/YaBME2A26n — The National Pulse (@TheNatPulse) February 11, 2026 Pattern of Defending Extremist Views Brahmbhatt’s comments fit a disturbing pattern within Mamdani’s Democratic Socialists of America-aligned administration. The mayor previously defended other aides who made inflammatory statements, including one calling to “Impoverish the white middle class” and tenant official Cea Weaver, who tweeted that “homeownership is a weapon of white supremacy.” Mamdani’s platform included punitive taxes on “whiter neighborhoods,” and he has filled his administration with DSA supporters advocating police abolition and anti-Israel positions. His willingness to retain officials with such divisive views raises serious questions about his judgment and commitment to representing all New Yorkers. Silence Speaks Volumes Unlike previous controversies where Mamdani publicly defended his aides’ radical statements, the mayor has remained notably silent on Brahmbhatt’s resurfaced posts. This absence of comment occurs as his administration faces multiple scandals, including an aide linked to a fraud-accused law firm and the appointment of a former Rikers inmate as Corrections head. The mayor’s selective defense of controversial staffers suggests political calculations rather than principled leadership. His administration’s pattern of hiring individuals with extreme ideological views and racially divisive rhetoric demonstrates a prioritization of socialist loyalty over competence and unity. NEW from me Digging into more of the now-deleted X posts of top officials around Zohran Mamdani This is Drashti Brahmbhatt — a top advisor, who relayed this incredible story in November 2021 about "how terrible white women are" pic.twitter.com/7jsBxfwVw9 — Jon Levine (@LevineJonathan) February 9, 2026 Erosion of Common Decency The incident highlights how identity politics and grievance culture corrode basic social norms that hold communities together. Brahmbhatt’s rejection of basic courtesy as “white standards” promotes a dangerous worldview that judges behavior through a racial lens rather than universal principles of respect. This divisive ideology, endorsed through Mamdani’s hiring practices and public defenses of similar rhetoric, threatens to fracture New York City along racial lines. The administration’s embrace of officials who openly express disdain for white Americans undermines the mayor’s ability to govern effectively for all residents, regardless of race or background, and represents government-sanctioned racial hostility that would be universally condemned if directed at any other group.

A federal court picked a U.S. attorney for upstate New York—then the Trump Justice Department fired him within hours, igniting a fresh constitutional tug-of-war over who really controls federal prosecutions. Judges Appoint Kinsella, DOJ Fires Him Within Hours Federal judges appointed Donald Kinsella to run the U.S. attorney’s office in the Northern District of New York, a step courts can take when an interim appointment expires, and the Senate-confirmed slot remains vacant. Within hours, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche announced Kinsella’s removal in a public social media statement, arguing that judges do not choose U.S. attorneys and that the Constitution assigns that authority to the president. The rapid reversal left the office’s leadership status unclear. The public nature of the dismissal added fuel to an already tense separation-of-powers fight. The administration’s position, as stated by Blanche, frames this as a straightforward Article II issue: prosecutors who represent the United States should be selected through the executive branch’s appointment power. Critics in the judiciary, however, have pointed to Congress’s vacancy statutes and limits on repeated “acting” appointments, saying those rules exist to prevent end-runs around Senate confirmation and to protect the legitimacy of prosecutions. The Sarcone Disqualification and the Letitia James Subpoenas The Kinsella episode sits atop an earlier controversy involving John Sarcone III, the Trump-aligned interim U.S. attorney who preceded him. A federal judge disqualified Sarcone after concluding the administration used a procedural approach to keep him in the role beyond the typical 120-day limit for interim service. That ruling also quashed subpoenas issued to New York Attorney General Letitia James that Sarcone had signed, a significant development because it created immediate legal risk for investigative steps taken under a disputed appointment. Judge Lorna Schofield’s written opinion captured the core judicial concern: when the executive branch “skirts restraints put in place by Congress” and then uses that power in politically sensitive investigations, it risks acting without lawful authority. The Justice Department has appealed Schofield’s decision, meaning the underlying dispute is not settled. For voters who care about constitutional structure, the key point is less about personalities and more about whether prosecutions—and subpoenas—can be undermined later if a court finds the appointing authority was invalid. A Wider Pattern: New Jersey and Virginia Rulings Raise the Stakes New York is not the only battleground. In New Jersey, an appeals court upheld the disqualification of Alina Habba after a dispute over extending an interim appointment. In the Eastern District of Virginia, a judge found Lindsey Halligan’s interim appointment unlawful under the Appointments Clause, then tossed indictments she obtained against former FBI Director James Comey and Attorney General Letitia James. Other districts, including Nevada and California, have experienced similar friction over interim leadership and the length of time “acting” officials can remain in place. What This Means for Accountability, Due Process, and Constitutional Limits The practical consequence of these clashes is instability—both inside U.S. attorney offices and for the public expecting consistent enforcement of federal law. When courts question a prosecutor’s legal authority, defendants can challenge indictments, targets can contest subpoenas, and cases can be delayed or dismissed. From a conservative, rule-of-law perspective, that is a serious problem: strong enforcement depends on a clean constitutional process. The administration’s appeals may clarify the lines, but until then, uncertainty can weaken public confidence and complicate legitimate investigations. US attorney in New York appointed by judges is quickly fired by White House | Just The News https://t.co/iPjJC38T4E — Angie (@angie_anson) February 12, 2026 The political overlay is impossible to ignore because some disputed actions have involved high-profile figures like Letitia James. Still, the research available here does not establish motive beyond what courts and officials have stated; it chiefly shows an institutional conflict over appointment authority and statutory limits. If the executive branch wants maximum control without legal risk, the durable path is Senate-confirmed U.S. attorneys. If courts keep finding appointment violations, future prosecutions could face continuing challenges—exactly the kind of procedural chaos that frustrates citizens who want equal justice applied consistently.

Rep. Ilhan Omar sparked outrage among conservatives after posting a tweet that many interpreted as a veiled call for President Trump’s execution, escalating tensions over Minnesota fraud investigations and reigniting concerns about dangerous political rhetoric targeting the Commander-in-Chief. Omar’s Inflammatory Response to Trump’s Fraud Comments Rep. Ilhan Omar posted on X, calling President Trump the “leader of the Ped*phile Protection Party” and declaring, “At least in Somalia they execute ped*philes, not elect them.” The tweet came directly after Trump appeared on Fox Business with Larry Kudlow, where he discussed Somali immigrant involvement in Minnesota’s $9 billion fraud crisis and referred to Omar as a “fake congresswoman.” Omar’s provocative language immediately drew fire from conservatives who viewed the statement as advocating violence against the President, particularly given her reference to execution practices in her native Somalia. Conservative Outcry and Demands for Accountability Conservative media outlets and commentators rapidly amplified Omar’s tweet on February 11, characterizing it as a direct threat requiring federal investigation. Fox News columnist David Marcus and outlets like RedState labeled the post as “flatly advocating assassination,” while social media users demanded the Secret Service and FBI take action. House conservatives are pushing for formal censure or expulsion proceedings, arguing that suggesting the execution of a sitting president crosses constitutional lines that protect free speech while prohibiting threats against federal officials. The controversy intensifies existing scrutiny of Omar’s wealth accumulation and her district’s role in massive fraud schemes that have drained taxpayer resources. Context of Minnesota Fraud Crisis and Immigration Enforcement Trump’s February 10 comments addressed a documented epidemic of fraud in Minnesota linked to Somali immigrant communities, with investigations revealing over $9 billion in losses. The President’s administration has escalated immigration enforcement in Minneapolis, conducting deportations and clashing with local officials, including Gov. Tim Walz, who have resisted federal cooperation. Omar represents Minnesota’s 5th district, which contains a large Somali population, positioning her as a vocal defender of her constituents against what she characterizes as discriminatory targeting. This creates a volatile dynamic where legitimate fraud investigations intersect with ethnic community advocacy, fueling both sides’ grievances. Ilhan Omar just called for the execution of the President of the United States and is smearing him as a “pedophile”. Trump should sue her for the $30 million she made off her fake wine company, then deport her. pic.twitter.com/PImLfpYi1i — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) February 11, 2026 Polarized Interpretations and Political Implications The incident reveals stark partisan divides in interpreting political speech. Conservative analysts view Omar’s tweet as dangerous incitement that violates standards for elected officials, especially given the heightened threat environment presidents face. Neutral outlets like TMZ described the post as expressing frustration rather than issuing an explicit threat, while left-leaning sources dismissed it as mere political commentary. Omar has not retracted the statement, and the tweet remains online as demands for congressional action continue. The controversy strengthens Trump’s narrative about radical elements in Congress while energizing his base around immigration enforcement and accountability for members who attack constitutional norms. Long-term implications include potential expulsion efforts, intensified fraud investigations, and further polarization of immigration policy debates.

For Americans concerned about government overreach and respect for the presidency, this incident underscores the need for accountability when elected officials cross the line that endangers public safety and constitutional order. As fraud investigations proceed and House leadership considers disciplinary measures, this controversy will test whether Congress enforces standards that apply equally regardless of political ideology or claims of protected status.

Los Angeles County just opened a $37.6 million rent relief program that extends beyond wildfire victims to include anyone facing “emergency-related financial hardships associated with federal actions”—a phrase sparking fierce debate about priorities and program scope. The Wildfire Aftermath and Housing Crisis When the Eaton and Palisades wildfires ravaged Los Angeles County on January 7, 2025, they left thousands displaced and unable to pay rent. FEMA declared the disaster on January 8, enabling federal rental assistance for up to eighteen months. The county responded by launching its Emergency Rent Relief Program through the Department of Consumer and Business Affairs, administered in partnership with The Center by Lendistry, to stabilize housing and prevent mass evictions in the fire-damaged communities. LA COUNTY SCAM ALERT! Broke LA County created a $30 million rent relief fund for wildfire & ICE raids victims. $15,000 over 6 months. But read the fine print PRIORITY goes to people in “COVID vulnerability” zones on LA’s “equity map” PALISADES DOESN’T COUNT! What a… https://t.co/Y94R2X3AKS pic.twitter.com/cr7CNwWpmt — Houman David Hemmati, MD, PhD (@houmanhemmati) February 10, 2026 Round 1 Sets the Stage Round 1 opened in December 2025 with $23 million in funding, generating overwhelming demand. Over 4,600 applications flooded in, with the county prioritizing small landlords holding four units or fewer—the backbone of LA’s rental market. The program capped assistance at $15,000 per unit, covering six months of rent, mortgage payments, or utilities. This focused approach reflected a clear understanding: preventing small landlords from losing properties would stabilize entire neighborhoods while keeping tenants housed. Round 2 Expands Reach and Access Recognizing the surge in applications, LA County launched Round 2 on February 9, 2026, injecting an additional $14.6 million into the program. This round fundamentally changed the application process. Both tenants and landlords could now apply simultaneously, reducing bureaucratic friction. The county expanded eligibility criteria, explicitly including “other emergency-related financial hardships associated with federal actions” alongside wildfire-specific hardships. DCBA Director Rafael Carbajal framed the expansion as essential: “This program exists because our county leadership understands how deeply a variety of emergencies have affected residents.” The Controversy: What Does “Federal Actions” Really Mean? The phrase “federal actions” has become the flashpoint of debate. Conservative critics, notably Hot Air’s David Strom, argue the language deliberately obscures whether the program covers individuals evading Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Official county sources tie hardships to wildfires and general emergencies, but the ambiguous wording has fueled speculation about whether taxpayer dollars intended for fire victims are being redirected to undocumented immigrants. This tension reflects broader 2026 immigration enforcement debates, making the program politically charged despite its ostensible disaster-relief mission. Who Benefits and How Much With $37.6 million total funding and a $15,000 cap per unit, the program can assist approximately 1,500 to 2,000 units. Small landlords—typically mom-and-pop operators managing four properties or fewer—emerge as primary beneficiaries, along with tenants earning no more than 80 percent of area median income. The program covers rent arrears, mortgage payments, and utility bills, directly addressing the cascade of financial crises triggered by displacement. Tenants can apply online at lacountyrentrelief.com or call (877) 849-0770 for phone support. State and Federal Coordination LA County’s effort exists within a broader relief ecosystem. Governor Gavin Newsom announced $125 million in state mortgage relief on February 6, 2026, extended tax deadlines to October 15, 2025, and allocated $10 million for factory-built housing. FEMA’s parallel assistance program provides additional rental support. This layered approach reflects recognition that single-source funding cannot address the magnitude of post-wildfire displacement, yet it also raises questions about program overlap and whether resources are being deployed efficiently or scattered across competing initiatives. The Real Stakes Beyond the political rhetoric lies a practical reality: without rent relief, thousands of tenants face eviction and thousands of small landlords face property loss. The program’s success hinges on rapid fund distribution before demand exhausts supply. Yet the ambiguous eligibility language invites scrutiny about whether county leadership is using disaster relief as cover for broader policy objectives. Whether one views the expansion as compassionate emergency response or mission creep depends largely on whether the “federal actions” language genuinely encompasses immigration enforcement or simply reflects bureaucratic vagueness about what constitutes an emergency in 2026 Los Angeles. Workshops continue through February, with organizations like the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles offering tenant guidance. The real test arrives in March when Round 2 applications close and county officials must account for how many households received aid and under what circumstances.

Five Mexican cartel members tied to U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organizations are now in American custody, exposing the deadly reality that border security failures have allowed terrorist-linked criminals to operate freely while threatening American communities. Major Cartel Leaders Face Terrorism Charges ICE announced that five Mexican fugitives transferred to U.S. custody are central targets in ongoing investigations into cells of the Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación and Sinaloa Cartel, both designated as foreign terrorist organizations by the United States. Maria Del Carmen Navarro Sanchez, Luis Carlos Davalos Lopez, and Gustavo Castro-Medina face federal charges for providing material support to terrorist organizations alongside narcotics trafficking, weapons trafficking, bulk cash smuggling, and human smuggling. Humberto Rivera-Rivera, identified as an alleged Sinaloa faction leader in Valle de Juarez, faces narcotics trafficking charges. Roberto Gonzalez-Hernandez, a purported high-ranking Los Cabrera Cartel member, confronts charges of narcotics conspiracy, smuggling, and firearms violations. ICE says 5 Mexican fugitives sent to US are targets of probes into foreign terrorist organizations https://t.co/leLsvb2XZ4 — John Solomon (@jsolomonReports) February 11, 2026 Historic Cross-Border Law Enforcement Operation Mexico expelled 37 fugitives to the United States, representing the largest single transfer under Mexico’s National Security Law and only the third deployment of this authority since its initial use in 2025. The law allows Mexico to expel high-threat fugitives wanted in the U.S. without lengthy extradition proceedings, streamlining the removal of dangerous criminals. ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations El Paso received custody of these individuals, with acting Special Agent in Charge Taekuk Cho emphasizing the significance of international cooperation. This operation builds on bilateral efforts like the Mérida Initiative, launched in 2008, which has intensified under recent administrations focused on dismantling cartel networks now classified as foreign terrorist organizations. Cartel Evolution from Criminal Gangs to Terrorist Threats The Cartel de Jalisco Nueva Generación emerged around 2010 as a violent splinter from the Sinaloa Cartel, led by Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, known as “El Mencho,” and gained notoriety for extreme brutality. The Sinaloa Cartel, founded by Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán, who was extradited to the U.S. in 2017, has long dominated narcotics trafficking across the Western Hemisphere. U.S. authorities designated both cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, with CJNG receiving this classification in February 2025, reflecting their transformation from criminal enterprises into hybrid criminal-terrorist entities. These organizations now engage in arms trafficking, bulk cash smuggling, human smuggling, and narcotics distribution, controlling smuggling routes in critical border areas like Valle de Juarez and directly threatening American national security. The Mexican drug cartels are now considered terrorists by the US Government. Special Forces are now in play to fuck them up! Remember these are ppl that child and sex traffic along with drugs. pic.twitter.com/Ry47jJnZVp — Critically Thinking & Drinking (@TheCriticalDri1) January 21, 2025 Border Communities Gain Protection from Terrorist Networks The successful transfer disrupts specific CJNG and Sinaloa cells operating near the U.S.-Mexico border, providing immediate safety improvements for American communities in El Paso and surrounding areas that have suffered under cartel violence and trafficking operations. The operation interrupts narcotics and cash flows worth millions of dollars while removing key operatives from networks that facilitate human smuggling and weapons trafficking. Long-term implications include establishing precedent for larger expulsions under Mexico’s National Security Law, potentially accelerating the dismantlement of foreign terrorist organization-designated cartels. This enforcement action vindicates American voters who demanded secure borders and accountability for transnational criminal organizations, demonstrating what competent leadership achieves when national security takes priority over open-border policies that endangered communities for years. The Department of Justice maintains prosecutorial oversight for these cases as HSI investigations continue. ICE’s public disclosure identifies these fugitives as direct threats to American security, validating concerns about cartel infiltration that prior administrations downplayed or ignored. The operation proves that decisive action against terrorist-designated organizations protects American families and restores the rule of law at our southern border, principles conservative Americans have championed despite resistance from those who prioritized political correctness over public safety.
