Brad Lander, New York City Comptroller and close ally of socialist mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, has been arrested for interfering with an ICE investigation. 

The arrest is already shaking the city’s political landscape, raising serious questions about Mamdani’s judgment and associations as he positions himself as the face of New York’s socialist movement.

According to federal authorities, Lander obstructed ICE officers during an active investigation into individuals accused of visa fraud and possible ties to organized crime.

Instead of cooperating, the city’s top financial officer allegedly disrupted the investigation, placing himself between agents and their target, in violation of federal law. 

ICE has long argued that New York’s sanctuary policies are undermining national security. Still, now one of the highest elected officials in the city has been accused of taking matters even further.

Lander has been one of Mamdani’s most vocal supporters, regularly attending campaign events, fundraisers, and rallies. 

The two have openly described themselves as close friends, with Mamdani crediting Lander for “guiding him through city politics.” 

That bond now puts Mamdani in the uncomfortable position of having his campaign tied directly to a federal obstruction case. 

For New Yorkers already wary of Mamdani’s radical socialist platform—which includes calls for rent cancellation, massive tax hikes, and slashing police budgets—the arrest of his closest ally adds fuel to concerns about his judgment and leadership.

Federal prosecutors have made clear that obstructing immigration enforcement is not a symbolic act of protest but a serious federal crime. 

“No elected official is above the law,” an ICE spokesperson said, pointing out that Lander’s actions could have allowed dangerous individuals to escape justice. 

The spokesperson emphasized that interference from public officials not only disrupts federal authority but also endangers the safety of American citizens.

The timing of the arrest could not be worse for Mamdani. 

With his campaign already facing skepticism from working-class New Yorkers who distrust socialist experiments, this scandal highlights the risks of putting radical ideologues and their allies in positions of power. 

It also underscores how deeply the city’s progressive establishment has become entangled in obstructing federal law enforcement—prioritizing political posturing over public safety.

If Mamdani’s closest friend and confidant is willing to break the law to protect criminal suspects, New Yorkers must ask: what kind of mayor would Mamdani be? 

The city is already struggling with rising crime, budget shortfalls, and growing distrust in government. 

The last thing it needs is a socialist administration that treats federal law as optional.

TPUSA spokesperson and longtime executive director for The Charlie Kirk Show, Andrew Kolvet, has set the record straight on the lack of an exit wound in Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Since the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk, dozens of rumors have surfaced online questioning the FBI’s reports that Tyler Robinson was the lone shooter in the Charlie Kirk assassination by citing the lack of an exit wound.

The rumors took off after conservative commentator Candace Owens claimed she viewed the footage of the assassination from behind, and it did not show an exit wound from the back.

Kolvet has poured cold water on the “exit wound” theory and has addressed it straight on.

Kolvet, in a post on X, wrote, “I’m usually not interested in delving into most of this kind of online chatter, and I apologize this is somewhat graphic, but in this case, the fact that there wasn’t an exit wound is probably another miracle, and I want people to know.”

He continued, “I just spoke with the surgeon who worked on Charlie in the hospital. He said the bullet ‘absolutely should have gone through, which is very very normal for a high powered, high velocity round. I’ve seen wounds from this caliber many times and they always just go through everything. This would have taken a moose or two down, an elk, etc.’”

The doctor continued to share with Kolvet, “It was an absolute miracle that someone else didn’t get killed. His bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that he’s like the man of steel.”

I want to address some of the discussion about the lack of an exit wound with Charlie. I’m usually not interested in delving into most of this kind of online chatter, and I apologize this is somewhat graphic, but in this case, the fact that there wasn’t an exit wound is probably another miracle, and I want people to know.

I just spoke with the surgeon who worked on Charlie in the hospital…

He said the bullet “absolutely should have gone through, which is very very normal for a high powered, high velocity round. I’ve seen wounds from this caliber many times and they always just go through everything. This would have taken a moose or two down, an elk, etc.”

But it didn’t go through. Charlie’s body stopped it.

I mentioned to his doctor that there were dozens of staff, students, and special guests standing directly behind Charlie on the other side of the tent, and he replied:

“It was an absolute miracle that someone else didn’t get killed.”

“His bone was so healthy and the density was so so impressive that he’s like the man of steel. It should have just gone through and through. It likely would have killed those standing behind him too.”

In the end, the coroner did find the bullet just beneath the skin.

Even in death, Charlie managed to save the lives of those around him.

Remarkable. Miraculous.

Kolvet has also addressed the SD cards being removed from cameras at the scene of the assassination.

Donald Trump has reshaped the American economy in ways that extend far beyond traditional policy. 

His approach has not only revived U.S. manufacturing and trade competitiveness through harsh tariffs but also tackled one of the most underreported issues in the labor market: the abuse of foreign work visas. 

These reforms have been a direct defense of the American worker, ensuring that high-paying, high-skill jobs remain accessible to U.S. citizens rather than being siphoned away by cheaper foreign labor.

WATCH: Trump’s TARRIFS Are WORKING

One of Trump’s most significant victories has been his success with tariffs. 

Democrats claimed tariffs on Chinese steel, aluminum, and other imports would harm the economy, but the opposite happened. 

American industries, previously stifled by low-cost, government-subsidized foreign goods, finally had the breathing room to grow. 

Plants that had been shuttered for years began reopening, and new jobs were created. 

The ripple effect was undeniable: tariffs drove companies to rethink outsourcing, pushed foreign producers to negotiate fairer trade deals, and sent a clear message that America would no longer be exploited in global markets. 

Tariffs weren’t just a policy tool—they were a signal of economic independence.

Now, Trump has introduced another groundbreaking policy: a $100,000 fee for H-1B visa applications. 

For years, Big Tech and multinational corporations have abused this program to undercut American workers. 

By hiring foreign employees willing to accept significantly lower pay, companies boosted their profits at the expense of U.S. talent.

These workers were often tied to their employers for visa sponsorship, making them less likely to demand fair wages or better conditions. 

The result was an uneven playing field, where American graduates in fields like information technology struggled to compete in their own country.

Trump’s $100,000 application fee changes the equation. 

If corporations truly believe they cannot find talent domestically, they now face a steep cost for choosing a foreign worker. 

By forcing companies like Google, Microsoft, and other tech giants to pay for their decision, Trump is ensuring that American workers are given priority. 

It makes outsourcing expensive and incentivizes hiring from within the U.S. labor force first.

Taken together, tariffs and visa reforms represent more than economic tweaks; they represent a philosophical shift. 

For decades, American workers were treated as expendable while corporations chased cheap labor and cheap imports. 

Trump reversed that trajectory. 

He put America first in trade, labor, and industry, creating an economy that rewards citizens rather than multinational giants. 

His policies prove that protecting American jobs isn’t just possible—it’s necessary for long-term prosperity.

Attorney General Pam Bondi may be in trouble after President Trump sent her an angry Truth Social post on Saturday that may have been meant as a text.

In the post, Trump says he has reviewed several saying she is “all talk, no action” when it comes to going after Democrat criminals, including James Comey, Adam Schiff, and Letitia James.

He also criticizes her for getting snookered into almost putting in a Democrat-supported attorney for good. As The Gateway Pundit reported, Erik Siebert, the US Attorney from the Eastern District of Virginia, who was under fire for not charging James, was fired.

On Saturday, Trump tapped pro-MAGA lawyer Mary “Maggie” Cleary as the new acting US attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.

While Trump later deleted the Truth Social post, the Internet is forever.

Here are the key parts of the post:

Pam, I have reviewed over 30 posts saying that essentially “same old story, all talk, no action. Nothing is being done.

What about Comey, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Leticia? They’re guilty as hell, but nothing is being done.”

Then, we almost put in a Democrat supported attorney in Virginia with a really bad Republican past. A woke RINO who was never going to do his job.

That’s why two of the worst Democratic Senators pushed him so hard.

Lindsey is a really good lawyer and likes you a lot. We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility.

They impeached me twice and indicted me five times OVER NOTHING! JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!!

Considering Bondi has been widely criticized by the base, particularly over her handling of the Epstein files and constant Fox News appearances, it may be time for a change.

Andrew Kolvet, the Executive Producer of The Charlie Kirk Show and spokeman for TPUSA, took to X to push back on the false narrative peddled by leftists regarding Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension.

The left, more angered by a late-night “comedian” being suspended for knowingly peddling fake news to enflame viewers than for the political assassination of Charlie Kirk, suddenly have a problem with cancel culture (although it is actually accountability culture).

Kolvet expertly explains what the Kimmel “saga” is really about.

Kolvet wrote on X, “Something important that’s being missed with the Jimmy Kimmel saga…” (emphasis added)

“By spreading the vile lie that Charlie was assassinated by MAGA, the implicit message from Kimmel was clear: If you kill a conservative, we will cover for you. We will whitewash the murder because we don’t think conservatives deserve to live. Kill more. Assassinate more. We have your back.”

“This is evil.”

“Executives at ABC rightly received a deluge of complaints from affiliates. They asked Kimmel to apologize for lying and he refused, instead vowing to double down. Only then did he get canned.”

“Networks like ABC, NBC, and CBS enjoy massive taxpayer supported privileges and advantages because they are supposed to contribute to the ‘public good.’ Those privileges come with a responsibility to not knowingly spread harmful lies like the one Kimmel was spreading.”

“Jimmy Kimmel is not a victim. He’s a liar.”

“Jimmy Kimmel is not a martyr. Charlie is.”

“Let’s keep that straight.”

Something important that’s being missed with the Jimmy Kimmel saga…

By spreading the vile lie that Charlie was assassinated by MAGA, the implicit message from Kimmel was clear: If you kill a conservative, we will cover for you. We will whitewash the murder because we don’t…
