Media Miss by the left: Jeffries says Mamdani is not the future of the Democratic Party
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said that while he has voted for and endorsed Zohran Mamdani, he doesn’t believe the New York City mayoral candidate is a glimpse into the future of the Democratic party nationwide.
Instead, the future of Democratic politics nationally lies with those Democrats currently serving in the U.S. House of Representatives.
“I think the future of the Democratic Party is going to fall, as far as we’re concerned, relative to the House Democratic Caucus and members who are doing a great work all across the country, as it relates to our need to both take back control of the House, but, in doing so, make sure that we’re communicating to the American people, like, we understand, you deserve better than the country that you have received,” Jeffries told CNN’s Jake Tapper Sunday.

Media Miss by the right: Report raises ethics, corruption concerns for Trump’s White House ballroom
A new report is raising concerns over both political and corporate corruption. The report, from Ralph Nader’s non-profit Public Citizen, found that most of the private donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have received a combined $279 billion from the U.S. government over the past five years.
On top of that, the report said more than half of those donors “are facing federal enforcement actions and/or have had federal enforcement actions suspended by the Trump administration.”
