New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has just appointed a (former) convict to serve as crime adviser on his City Hall transition team. Because, who better to advise on public safety than a literal criminal? Take a look: BREAKING: NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has chosen to appoint Mysonne Linen, a convicted armed robber, to be on his City Hall transition team. You cannot make this up. pic.twitter.com/D3FKfWInpN — Libs of TikTok (@libsoftiktok) December 9, 2025   Mysonne Linen is a rapper who served seven years behind bars for armed robbery. FORMERLY INCARCERATED: NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani has chosen a formerly incarcerated rapper to serve on his City Hall transition team. Mysonne Linen was convicted and served seven years in prison in the late 1990s for two armed robberies of taxi drivers. pic.twitter.com/SaQK5EyoUZ — Fox News (@FoxNews) December 8, 2025 Linen was convicted in 1999 for robbing two taxi drivers in the Bronx. The New York Post shared more details on the crime: Linen was a promising young rapper when he was convicted in 1999 for being part of a crew that robbed two cab drivers in the Bronx, the New York Daily News reported at the time. The conviction came just as Linen’s debut album was due for release by Def Jam Recordings. Bronx prosecutors said his crew pulled off the June 8, 1997, robbery of taxi driver Joseph Eziri, and the March 31, 1998, gunpoint theft from cabbie Francisco Monsanto, according to the News. According to officials at the state Department of Correction and Community Renewal, Linen was hit with a sentence of seven to 14 years and was sprung on parole on July 5, 2006. Linen, who had faced up to 25 years behind bars, continued to deny he was involved and rebranded himself as a community activist following his release from state prison. He spent years volunteering as a so-called violence interrupter and also founded Rising Kings, a non-profit group that teaches classes to inmates at Rikers Island. Now, Linen is involved with a social justice organization that he co-founded with another adviser of Mamdani, anti-Israel activist Linda Sarsour. Their group is called Until Freedom, which Linen apparently uses to advocate for non-violence. Until Freedom broke the news of Mamdani’s appointment of Linen on social media. Fox News reported: Mamdani’s appointment of Mysonne Linen, 49, was announced in a Nov. 26 Instagram post from Until Freedom, a New York City–based social-justice organization, where Linen is a leader. Linen is featured in the social media post alongside Tamika Mallory and Angelo Pinto. “We are proud that Until Freedom leaders have been chosen to serve on Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani’s transition team on committees for public safety and criminal justice respectively,” the post reads. “This is a testament to our decades of work advocating on behalf of Black and Brown communities and our expertise in gun violence prevention, legislative advocacy, and criminal justice reform. We are building something different.” Over the years, Linen has built a public presence as a community activist, frequently posting about anti-violence initiatives and civic engagement, and promoting his involvement with Until Freedom. This is shaping up to be a disaster. Don’t say we didn’t warn you, New York. NYC’s new mayor-elect is putting a guy who did 7 years for armed taxi robberies in charge of advising on public safety. Nothing says “stop crime” like hiring someone who used to commit it. Welcome to 2026, New York. — MidnightRun (@MidnightRunz) December 8, 2025

The most jacked HHS Secretary in U.S. history — Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — practices what he preaches. At the Ronald Regan National Airport, RFK Jr. pulled off a very impressive feat. He jumped up on a bar and cranked out 20 pullups — right then and there! Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy joined him to do 10 pullups of his own, but he couldn’t beat Bobby! Watch: Pull-up competition between Secretaries Kennedy and Duffy. pic.twitter.com/V2QpqDgvLo — CSPAN (@cspan) December 8, 2025 RFK Jr. is the true, living embodiment of the MAHA movement. He’s in amazing shape, regardless of his age, but especially for a 71-year-old! This is impressive to be honest from a 71 year old! — Hunter Eagleman (@Hunter_Eagleman) December 8, 2025 20 pull ups is elite no matter your age. That’s insane. — Luca Taner (@LucaTaner) December 8, 2025 That is ridiculously hard no matter how old you are. Every Health sec. From here on out Should have to do at least 5 in order to be hired — gootecks (@gootecks) December 8, 2025 What do you think? Would you dare go against RFK Jr. in a pull-up competition?

Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s campaign for the Senate is already a total disaster. This evening, she held her official campaign launch event. It started with a rapper being trotted out to introduce Crockett by singing an original (and truly awful) song about her. Watch this train-wreck for yourself: Jasmine Crockett brought a rapper on stage to perform a song about her at her U.S. Senate campaign launch event pic.twitter.com/7iJ8vGFDfx — Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) December 8, 2025 This is just beyond satire. I also love how he has to look down at his paper for the lyrics the entire time. It’s almost like Crockett wrote the song herself and hired him last-minute to sing it… Immediately after this guy sang his song, they played Jasmine Crockett’s official campaign video before Jazzy herself came up on stage. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s literally just Jasmine staring into a camera while President Trump calling her a “low IQ person” plays on a loop. Yes, really. I literally thought it was an AI parody video when I first saw it. But no, it’s her real, official campaign video! Watch this: NOW: In a bizarre moment, Jasmine Crockett announces her Texas US Senate campaign through a rapper, then plays a video of Donald Trump insulting her as “low IQ” pic.twitter.com/JexaEh4Blt “Y’all look REAL good!

But are you FRRED up! Lezz get down to it! I know y’all ready to hear some good news, and some uh y’all already heard it before you even got here.” “Yes, it is true. I am running to become your next US Senator from the state of Texas.” More on the campaign video here: HILARIOUS: Jasmine Crockett Posts First Senate Ad — And It’s EXTREMELY Low IQ! What kind of campaign strategy even is this? This woman is running in Texas, no less. President Trump swept the state, winning by double digits in the 2024 election. Needless to say, Jasmine Crockett's chances of winning the Senate race are slim-to-none. However, it will be very entertaining to watch this campaign continue to crash and burn. Get your popcorn. @JasmineForUS, this campaign will go down in history better than any sketch you seen on SNL. I can’t to watch the ? show! — KJ (@kdawgf1) December 9, 2025

Liberals in Minneapolis just took virtue-signalling to a whole new level. They are now flocking to Somalian-owned businesses in order to show their support for migrants. Of course, this comes after the Minnesota Somalian community was caught in a massive fraud scandal that stole billions of dollars from American taxpayers. See for yourself: Backup here, if needed: UPDATE: In a pathetic move, liberals in Minneapolis are FLOCKING to give their money to Somali business to stand in solidarity with the 3rd world fraudsters Literally setting your money on fire. These people are dumb. You can’t make this crap up. pic.twitter.com/rSaLog0UrO — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) December 8, 2025 What, exactly, is there to “stand in solitary” with? Defrauding the American people? Apparently, the billions of dollars they’ve already scammed us out of is not enough — we need to give them even more money so we can prove we aren’t racist against them, or something… These people are as dumb as it gets. Take a look at some of these spot-on replies: So, they steal billions and the response is donate more money to them? — Tony (@TonyDGianino) December 8, 2025 Something beautiful happened in our community.

The new Indiana congressional map passed a critical vote on Monday and advanced through the Indiana Senate Elections Committee. The committee voted 6-3 to advance the map, which is expected to give Republicans a 9-0 advantage in the state’s congressional delegation. There’s still uncertainty that the map will pass a full Senate vote. Just in: The Indiana Senate Elections Committee has officially passes the new congressional map for 2026 in a 6-3 vote This will now go before the full Senate for a vote The map would move from 7R-2D to 9R-0D pic.twitter.com/3ZNxFmHneP — The Calvin Coolidge Project (@TheCalvinCooli1) December 9, 2025 Democracy Docket has more: Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray (R) has repeatedly said the upper chamber does not have enough Republicans supporting the measure for the map to pass, but Monday’s committee action marked the clearest sign yet that GOP leaders may still attempt to force a floor showdown later this week. While states normally update their congressional maps once a decade following the census, Trump, facing ever uglier polling figures, ignited a mid-decade redistricting war over the summer, saying Republicans were “entitled” to five more seats in Texas. GOP lawmakers there quickly obliged, as they did in Missouri and North Carolina. But Indiana Republicans have resisted the call, leaving the ultimate outcome of this redistricting fight uncertain. At least 16 of the 40 Republicans in the Senate could join with the chamber’s 10 Democrats to vote no — GOP Lt. Gov. Micah Beckwith could break a 25-25 tie. After the Supreme Court upheld a new Texas congressional map likely to result in five additional GOP-held House seats, passage of the Indiana map would be another boost for Republicans going into the 2026 midterms. JUST IN: Supreme Court Issues Ruling On New Texas Congressional Map WTHR shared further: Some of those Republican senators who voted yes had not said publicly before Monday where they stood. They made it clear their vote Monday night didn't necessarily indicate how they'd be voting when the bill got in front of the full Senate. Elections Committee Chairman Sen. Mike Gaskill (R-District 25) said he supports redistricting. "I can mention many other states, I think somewhere between 15 and 20 seats, additional seats Republicans could have today if there were fair maps in other states. This is a very small part we can play and rebalance the scales on a national basis," Gaskill said. One Republican senator crossed the aisle to vote no on passing the bill forward. Sen. Greg Walker (R- District 41) has been a no on redistricting since August and made it clear Monday, that's where he still stood. Walker referenced the Senate's ethics rules prohibiting lawmakers from being influenced by outside offers and read from those rules, saying, "If the senator determines that by acceptance of the offer, the senator's independent judgment may be affected, the senator shall refuse the offer. That's a shall and that's in our rules."

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as “foreign terrorist organizations.” “Florida agencies are hereby directed to undertake all lawful measures to prevent unlawful activities by these organizations, including denying privileges or resources to anyone providing material support,” DeSantis said. EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY Florida is designating the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as foreign terrorist organizations. Florida agencies are hereby directed to undertake all lawful measures to prevent unlawful activities by these… pic.twitter.com/2s48yYfEg7 — Ron DeSantis (@GovRonDeSantis) December 8, 2025 Fox News shared further: The governor’s order said the Muslim Brotherhood has long engaged in and supported violence, political assassinations and terror attacks on civilians with the intent of establishing a worldwide Islamic caliphate. It also said the group, as well as Hamas have active fundraising arms in the United States. The order said CAIR, which was created to challenge stereotypes against Islam and Muslims, has had individuals associated with it that have been convicted of providing and aspiring to provide material support to foreign terrorist organizations. In a post on X, Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said: “Great news! Thanks for this important Executive Order, Governor. We are ready to support!” A joint statement by CAIR and its Florida chapter said the DeSantis administration has prioritized serving their interest of the Israeli government over the people of the state. The move follows Texas Gov. Greg Abbott making a similar designation. “This bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas and authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down,” Abbott said. Republican Governor Designates CAIR, Muslim Brotherhood As “Foreign Terrorist And Transnational Criminal Organizations” WFLA shared the full joint statement from CAIR National and CAIR-Florida: “From the moment Ron DeSantis took office as Florida governor, he has prioritized serving the Israeli government over serving the people of Florida. He hosted his very first official cabinet meeting in Israel. He diverted millions in Florida taxpayer dollars to the Israeli government’s bonds. He threatened to shut down every Florida college’s Students for Justice in Palestine chapter, only to back off when CAIR sued him in federal court. Like Greg Abbott in Texas, Ron DeSantis is an Israel First politician who wants to smear and silence Americans, especially American Muslims, critical of U.S. support for Israel’s war crimes. Governor DeSantis knows full well that CAIR-Florida is an American civil rights organization that has spent decades advancing free speech, religious freedom, and justice for all, including for the Palestinian people. That’s precisely why Governor DeSantis is targeting our civil rights group with this unconstitutional and defamatory proclamation. We look forward to defeating Governor DeSantis’ latest Israel First stunt in a court of law, where facts matter and conspiracy theories have no weight. In the meantime, we encourage all Floridians and all Americans to speak up against this latest attempt to shred the Constitution for the benefit of a foreign government.” The CAIR Legal Defense Fund was involved in the filing of a federal lawsuit against Texas Gov. Greg Abbott last month after he made a similar proclamation declaring the Texas chapter a “foreign terrorist organization.”
