In the Candace Owens fictional account of WWII, the real victims were not the Jews but the Germans; the real villains, not the Axis but the Allies. She downplays the Holocaust while accusing the US and its allies of “ethnically cleansing Germans.” Those harboring hate in their heart can be either ignorant or malevolent. Candace Owens is both ignorant and malevolent, both stupid and sinister.

A few hours ago, I found myself accosted by Medea Benjamin of Code Pink, which is so beholden to the Chinese Communist Party that it denies the actual genocide against Uyghur Muslims while falsely accusing Israel of genocide. Code Pink has been seen meeting with Hamas, a foreign terrorist organization that murdered, maimed, mutilated, raped, tortured, and abducted thousands of Jews in Israel.

Over 1.2 billion pounds of food have been delivered to Gaza, flatly contradicting the false narrative of genocide. There is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, brought on by a wretched war that Hamas began, but there is nothing remotely resembling genocide. The only party in the conflict with genocidal intent is Hamas, which seeks to annihilate every Jew in Israel until the Jewish State itself is annihilated.
Jeremy Corbyn, who recently won a seat in Parliament as an independent, once boasted about holding an event with his “friends” Hezbollah and Hamas. As evidenced by the company he keeps, Jeremy Corbyn is the poster child for antisemitism in Britain. The exportation of Corbynism to America must be vigorously fought and defeated.

The narrative that the President simply had one bad debate performance reflects a continuing pattern of denial and self-delusion. The President did not just have one “bad debate.” The reality we saw with our own lying eyes is evidence of a deeper challenge. The notion that the President is going to be saved by this interview or that press conference misses the forest for trees. I will respectfully listen to the President’s press conference tonight and the interview on Monday evening but the ability to survive a single public appearance is the bear minimum of what should be expected of a Democratic Nominee. Neither the press conference tonight nor the NBC interview on Monday evening will offer the President the political salvation he seems to be seeking. If the President formally becomes the Democratic Nominee, we will have no choice but to make the best of a complicated situation. But there is no point in denying the complications.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has been waging foreign influence operations, amplifying disinformation with the aim of radicalizing and polarizing American politics. Mission accomplished! According to the Director of National Intelligence, “Iranian government actors have sought to opportunistically take advantage of ongoing protests regarding the war in Gaza…actors tied to Iran’s government posing as activists online, seeking to encourage protests, and even providing financial support to protestors.”
I paid a visit to a senior center in the Northeast Bronx. The seniors there drew me a wonderful piece of art, which I plan to hang in my office.

The 7/13 rally was not held in an urban environment densely populated with buildings. There were only a few rooftops for the Secret Service to secure yet an inexplicable failure by the Secret Service to secure them. Did the Secret Service deploy technology like drones to flag suspicious actors on “elevated positions” within firing distance of the former President?

Money laundering aided and abetted by the Chinese Communist Party is financing the global fentanyl trade, which has given us the deadliest drug crisis in America history. In 2023, over 100k Americans died from lethal drug overdoses. What role is the Treasury Department playing in policing the illicit finance at the heart of the opioid crisis? See the Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen’s response.
There are differences of opinion as to the best path forward for the 2024 Democratic Nomination. But there are two facts on which every Democrat agrees. Joe Biden has had the most transformative presidency in recent history, in keeping with the best traditions of FDR and LBJ. His legacy will stand the test of time. Donald Trump is so dangerously unhinged and unstable as to represent an unprecedented threat to America as a liberal democracy. It is fair for Democrats to have different opinions about how best to defeat Donald Trump and MAGA Republicans.
At least one person was watching me question Fed Chair Jay Powell about quantitative tightening and the size of the Fed’s balance sheet.
In determining how to proceed as a party, there must be a serious reckoning with the down-ballot effect of whomever we nominate. What matters is not how we feel but what the numbers tell us. An unsentimental analysis of the cold hard numbers—which have no personal feelings or political loyalties—should inform what we decide and whom we nominate. If we’re going to choose a particular path, we should be clear-eyed about its consequences. Blindness is not bliss amid the terrifying threat of a Trump presidency.
I was proud to join Head Start, Grand Street Settlement, New Settlement, and Bronx BP Vanessa Gibson in announcing a $57 MILLION investment in child care for families in need. The federal investment will lead to the creation of six new child care centers in the Bronx.
Can the US economy return to the golden age of low unemployment and low inflation? Or are we doomed to live with a new normal of higher interest rates?
I held office hours at a cooperative in the Northeast Bronx. Bringing government directly to the people.

The process of constructing affordable housing must itself be affordable. If we can crack the code on how to substantially cut the cost of construction and to do so at scale, we could substantially cut the cost of rent and mortgage for American households. We in America must harness the power of innovation—like modular construction and 3D printing—to build more housing to meet the demand and to do more with less.
