Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was met with boos and hecklers on Sunday during the New York City Pride Parade. Video circulating on social media showed America’s highest-ranking Democrat marching through a tough crowd. Waving a rainbow flag, the New York liberal spoke through a bullhorn, trying to appease the restless crowd.  @NY1 @InsideCityHall @PodSaveAmerica Chuck Schumer getting booed at NYC Pride pic.twitter.com/bHV6XL7Um2 — ladybird (@LadybirdMV) June 28, 2026 “Hi everybody, so I was the first senator to ever march in this parade, 1999, and I haven’t missed one yet,” Schumer said.  “Happy Pride, everybody,” Schumer was met with hissing and jeering from the crowd. “I was the first senator to march in this parade, and I’m not the last.”  Chuck Schumer booed at New York City Pride Parade pic.twitter.com/IKyC8Wejkt — NewsWire (@NewsWire_US) June 28, 2026 The public displays of dissatisfaction with Schumer coincide with an increasingly fractured Democratic establishment as the recently-sworn-in Mayor Zohran Mamdani leads a socialist takeover of the Big Apple.  New York Attorney General Letitia James, also a Democrat, on Wednesday expressed disappointment with Mamdani — accusing him of blowing up the Democratic party by endorsing democratic socialist candidates against long-time incumbents, The Daily Wire reported.  “Some of the candidates that he has supported are individuals who do not understand the politics of New York City, the cultural differences from district to district, who have not been part of the history and the struggle of some of these districts, and are relatively new to the body politic,” James told CNN.  The Democrat, whose high-profile legal investigations against the Trump family made her a national figure, said some of the Mamdani-backed candidates don’t really understand the Big Apple.  “All of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party. But you don’t blow it up. That’s what MAGA has done,” James added.  On Tuesday, all three socialist candidates backed by Mamdani won their Democratic primaries for U.S. House in New York, including two far-left candidates who knocked out incumbent Democrats, The Daily Wire previously reported.  In New York’s 10th congressional district, former New York City comptroller Brad Lander cruised to victory over incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman, who faced intense and increasing scrutiny for his pro-Israel views. Days before the election, a local coffee shop threatened to refuse to serve the Jewish Democrat over his policy positions.  In New York’s 7th district, New York State Assemblymember Claire Valdez won her race with about 56% of the vote, and in the 13th district, leftist community organizer Darializa Avila Chevalier defeated incumbent  Rep. Adriano Espaillat, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, by less than four percentage points.  The results highlight the growing tide against capitalism in New York and progressive precincts nationwide.  In the Oval Office, President Trump seized the moment, calling Schumer, who is Jewish, “100% Palestinian.”  “In fact, I’ve asked for a beautiful, silk outfit to be sent in the Palestinian tradition. I’m going to send it to him as a birthday present,” Trump said. “It’s the greatest transformation of a political ideology I’ve ever seen.” TRUMP: “Chuck Schumer has become 100% Palestinian.

The wife and children of Argentine soccer player Lucas Trejo have been found dead following the massive back-to-back earthquakes in Venezuela.  According to The New York Post, Trejo’s wife, Yanina Maranella, and their children, Aarón and Ainhoa, are among the victims as the death toll continues to rise. Family friend Edson Tortolero, a soccer player himself, paid tribute to the family on Instagram, writing in Spanish: “We inform all the people of Venezuela and Argentina that the bodies of Lucas Trejo’s family members have been found lifeless.”   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Lucas Trejo LT (@lucastrejo_lt) “We thank everyone for the support and ask for the most sincere respect for his family at this time. WE PRAY FOR ETERNAL LIFE FOR THEM.” Trejo’s club, Venezuelan side Club Sport Marítimo de La Guaira, said that there had been a three-day search for his wife and children, according to The Post,  “Club Sport Maritimo La Guaira deeply mourns the loss suffered by Lucas Trejo’s family. We ask for respect for his relatives and teammates,” the statement read, according to The Post. “After a 74-hour search, they were found deceased.” The death toll from the devastating earthquakes has climbed to at least 1,430 people, according to the Associated Press, and tens of thousands remain missing. Desperate Venezuelans looking for loved ones used shovels, heavy equipment, ropes, and bare hands to search for the missing under rubble and dilapidated structures.  Caracas and the surrounding area were rocked Wednesday evening by a 7.2 magnitude earthquake, followed by a 7.5 magnitude quake just 40 seconds later. The devastating earthquakes were unusually close together and instantly leveled large buildings, including homes and apartment complexes, The Daily Wire previously reported.  Rescue teams are working against the clock to find survivors within the “golden window,” the 48- to 72-hour time period to reach people buried under rubble. Many search and rescue teams also follow a “rule of fours,” which states that trapped survivors can last four minutes without air, four days without water, and four weeks without food, according to CNN. With time running out, there are still signs of miraculous survival amid widespread death and devastation. Over the weekend, American rescuers pulled a 9-month-old baby and her mom from the rubble of a collapsed building in Venezuela, according to the State Department.  On Sunday, U.S. personnel on the ground saved three more lives from the rubble.  “We couldn’t be prouder,” the State Department said, fulfilling a promise made by President Trump.   “The U.S.A. stands ready, willing, and able to help! I have instructed all agencies of our government to get ready to move quickly. We will be there for our new and great friends,” he said after the back-to-back quakes.  Today, members of USA-01, working alongside local firefighters, rescued a mother & her nine-month-old baby from a collapsed structure. Both were found alive with only minor injuries, brought to safety to the cheers of neighbors.

President Donald Trump ripped into the Democratic socialist who is poised to be the next Mayor of Washington, D.C., in a Sunday afternoon social media post. The president noted that city council member Janeese Lewis George, who ran on a platform that included universal childcare and taxpayer-funded housing, won the Democratic primary with 54.1% of the vote — nearly 20 points ahead of her closest competitor, Kenyan R. McDuffie. Because there is no standout opponent going into November’s general election, Lewis George’s primary victory likely means that she will be the city’s next mayor. “Janeese Lewis George, the Communist who is almost certainly going to be elected Mayor of Washington, D.C., has stated that she wants to empty the prisons, make D.C. a Sanctuary City, oppose ICE, welcome Criminal Illegal Aliens back into our beloved Capital, resist Anti-Crime Crackdowns, Defund the Police, continue and expand Cashless Bail, and so many other Capital destroying ‘things,'” Trump posted on Sunday. “In the end, it will never work out, nor will I let it even have a chance because I have worked too hard to make Washington, D.C., the Envy of the World, with almost No Crime, and a Beautification process that has been second to none,” he added. “I will meet with Janeese Lewis George, but must forewarn everyone that Washington, D.C., is again a Safe and Prestigious Community. Many people, including myself, have worked long and hard to get it there, and we will not let it be destroyed by a Communist adherent who has no intention to, MAKE WASHINGTON GREAT AGAIN!” Lewis George’s primary victory comes on the heels of a number that followed a similar pattern. Three Democratic socialists in New York, backed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, also won their primaries. Two of the three bested incumbent Democrats in the process — and are unlikely to face any meaningful opposition in November’s general election. As more and more primaries go in that direction, it has become clear that not everyone in the Democratic Party is on board with the dramatic shift. Governor Josh Shapiro (D-PA), comedian Bill Maher, and longtime Democratic strategist James Carville are among those who have warned that the Democratic socialists are not Democrats, and may be steering the party in a direction they do not want to go.

New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani launched an intellectually dishonest attack on Israel that wouldn’t survive five minutes of scrutiny. Asked point-blank whether he supports Israel as a Jewish state, he waffled, hedged, and retreated into a fog of false equivalence. Don’t be fooled. This wasn’t principle. It was pandering dressed up as philosophy. Reporter: Israel is a Jewish state. That’s in the charter. Do you support that? Mamdani: I’ve said time and again that I support the state of Israel as a state with equal rights. Reporter: As jewish state? Mamdani: I believe that any state that privileges one religion over… pic.twitter.com/SkUiYoqxrb — Open Source Intel (@Osint613) June 28, 2026 Mamdani had the nerve to lump Israel in with Saudi Arabia as states that “privilege one religion” at the expense of others. Never mind that Israel’s own Declaration of Independence — its founding charter — explicitly guarantees “complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or sex” and promises to safeguard the holy places of every faith. Saudi Arabia? It bans churches. Israel has them built. The comparison is an insult to anyone paying attention. And Israel doesn’t just make promises on paper. Arab citizens — Muslim and Christian — make up 20% of the population. They vote, they sit in the Knesset, they serve on the Supreme Court. Jerusalem’s holiest sites, including Al-Aqsa Mosque, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Western Wall, are all protected and accessible under Israeli rule. Muslim authorities even retain administrative control of the Temple Mount, the holiest site in all of Judaism. Where else in the Middle East does that kind of religious pluralism exist? Nowhere Mamdani seems interested in talking about. Now look at his beloved Palestinian cause. Under Palestinian Authority control in the West Bank, Israeli civilians — read: Jews — are flatly banned from entering Area A. Banned. Not discouraged. Not warned. Barred outright. This in a territory containing some of Judaism’s most sacred ground: the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, the Tomb of Rachel, the Tomb of Joseph — sites of Jewish worship for thousands of years. If Mamdani spent even a fraction of his outrage on that exclusion, maybe his “equal rights for all faiths” routine would be worth taking seriously — but he doesn’t. And then there’s the silence that truly damns him. Mamdani tossed out Saudi Arabia as a rhetorical fig leaf, but couldn’t bring himself to utter the name of Israel’s most bloodthirsty enemy: Iran. The mullahs in Tehran — who arm Hamas, fund Hezbollah, and openly call for Israel’s destruction — run a regime that the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom describes as one of the worst on earth. Baha’is are persecuted. Christians are imprisoned. Jews are terrorized. Sunni Muslims are suppressed. Women are arrested for showing their hair. This is the regime that backs the very forces Mamdani’s allies romanticize as freedom fighters. His failure to mention Iran isn’t an oversight. It’s a tell. Mamdani wants to play the high-minded equality warrior while giving a pass to Palestinian exclusion and Iranian theocratic brutality. Israel deserves better than this kind of drive-by slander from a man who can’t be bothered to get his facts straight.

Doctors in Israel just pulled off something that addiction specialists have been chasing for decades — and it didn’t require a single scalpel. In a jaw-dropping medical first, physicians at Rambam Health Care Campus in Haifa used focused sound wave technology to essentially switch off a patient’s opioid addiction. In less time than it takes to watch a sitcom, a man who had been swallowing roughly 130 pills a day walked away craving zero. The patient, identified only as H., is a family man in his forties who originally hurt his neck years ago. Doctors prescribed opioids for the pain. The pain eventually faded — but the addiction didn’t. He was trapped, needing the drug just to feel normal and function day-to-day. That’s when Rambam’s team stepped in with technology developed by Israeli firm Insightec. Using MRI-guided ultrasound waves, physicians targeted the nucleus accumbens — the brain’s pleasure and reward hub — and modulated its electrical activity without cutting, burning, or destroying a single cell. No surgery. No anesthesia. No recovery room. Within a week, H. tested completely clean. His self-reported craving level: zero out of ten. But the surprises didn’t stop there. The man who used to smoke three packs of cigarettes daily nearly quit cold turkey. His desire for alcohol vanished too. The treatment essentially hit the reset button on his entire reward system. Researchers call it nothing less than a breakthrough — and the timing couldn’t be more critical for the United States. America’s opioid crisis, though showing signs of improvement, remains a catastrophe. Overdose deaths dropped from over 110,000 in 2023 to roughly 75,000 in 2024, according to the American Medical Association — progress, but hardly cause for celebration. The epidemic costs the country an estimated $60 billion a year and continues evolving, with fentanyl and a constant stream of new dangerous drug cocktails making the illicit supply more unpredictable than ever. Current addiction treatments are a tough sell. Gradual tapering off opioids succeeds only about 5% of the time. Substitute medications help, but regulatory red tape and insurance barriers keep them out of reach for many patients. This ultrasound approach could change everything. Israeli researchers believe the same technology could eventually target OCD, PTSD, severe depression, eating disorders — and potentially Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. H. himself put it simply: he feels like he got his life back. For millions of Americans still in the grip of addiction, that feeling might one day be just 20 minutes away.
