NEW: AOC Faces House Ethics and FEC Complaint for Spending Campaign Funds on Doctor who Specializes in Ketamine Therapy

NEW: AOC Faces House Ethics and FEC Complaint for Spending Campaign Funds on Doctor who Specializes in Ketamine Therapy
March 29, 2026

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) has come into the crosshairs of an ethics complaint for using campaign contributions for personal use after allegedly spending almost $19,000 on a psychiatrist who is known for specializing in Ketamine therapy.

The National Legal and Policy Center filed a joint complaint with the Federal Elections Commission (FEC) and the House Ethics Committee on Friday.

It reads, “NLPC alleges that AOC’s expenditure of almost $19,000 of campaign funds in 2025 to psychiatrist Dr. Brian W. Boyle ostensibly for ‘leadership training and consulting’ was expended instead for personal psychiatric services provided to AOC or members of her campaign staff. Accordingly, those expenses were also misreported by the campaign committee with the FEC. NLPC requests that the FEC and OCC immediately investigate the facts and circumstances of these payments and impose appropriate penalties and disciplinary sanctions against AOC.”

However, “there is reason to believe that Dr. Boyle does not provide campaign ‘Leadership Training and Consulting,’” the complaint continues, highlighting his specialty in depression and his status as a “leading authority” on Ketamine therapy.

The complaint further provides receipts of the expenditures from FEC data.

Paul Kamenar, the group’s general counsel, told the New York Post, “AOC’s spending almost $19,000 in campaign funds for a shrink appears to violate both the FEC and House Ethics rules prohibiting use of such funds for personal purposes.”

He added, “While AOC has been in therapy in the past, she should spend her own money if she needs psychiatric treatment from Dr. Brian Boyle, whose specialty includes narcissistic personality disorder.”

More from the New York Post:

Boyle — the chief psychiatric officer at Stella, a chain of mental health clinics focusing on “novel” therapies popular with Hollywood and Wall Street – received four payments from the socialist pol’s campaign last year totaling $18,725.

The expenses were marked as “leadership training and consulting.”

However, it’s unclear what the sessions consisted of or who participated. Ocasio-Cortez’s campaign did not respond to requests for comment.

Boyle, a Harvard-trained doctor, calls himself an “interventional psychiatrist” and specializes in unorthodox methods for treatment-resistant depression, PTSD and anxiety.

This isn’t the first time AOC has come under fire for an ethics violation.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, AOC was previously found guilty of an ethics violation after the House Ethics Committee found that she impermissibly accepted more than $3,700 worth of apparel and accessories and a $35,000 Met Gala ticket for her then-boyfriend, Riley Roberts, during her infamous “Tax the Rich” dress stunt.

Activists wearing bright vests speak at a rally with banners and flags in the background, promoting community engagement and social change.

Anti-Trump “No Kings” protesters in the nation’s capital added a verse celebrating open borders to the song “America the Beautiful” during their rally on Saturday.

Several men in pink vests stood on stage and led the crowd in singing the altered lyrics promoting mass migration into our nation.

The leftists sang:

For beautiful, thy immigrant

Who hail from every land

By grace and work and diligence

Like gifts from God‘s own hands

America, America

By grace, shall that remain

To greet the poor,

And reach the shore

With open arms again

The tune was caught on video by Daily Wire reporter Brecca Stoll.

An upside-down American flag can be seen waving behind them.

WATCH:

The “No Kings” protests took place nationwide on Saturday with little fanfare, as they were much smaller than the previous demonstrations.

The protests are being organized and funded by progressive far-left groups, including Indivisible, the 50501 movement, and MoveOn.

A Fox News investigation found that roughly 500 organizations with a combined $3 billion in annual revenue backed the protests. This network includes well-funded Democratic-aligned nonprofits and explicitly socialist/communist groups.

Investigation Finds ‘No Kings’ Protests Backed by Network of Hundreds of Groups With Estimated Annual Revenue of $3 Billion

Indivisible, the lead national coordinator for many events, has received millions from Soros’ Open Society Foundations. One documented grant was a two-year, $3 million award in 2023, with additional funding flowing through the network.

Protestor holding a sign demanding accountability stands outdoors, while another individual smiles in casual attire against a backdrop of trees and a gathering crowd.

Disgraced former CNN anchor, turned YouTuber, Jim Acosta was on video laughing and praising a protest sign that called for President Donald Trump’s death during the “No Kings” rally in Washington, D.C., on Saturday.

While doing a live “pregame” YouTube stream ahead of the third round of nationwide “No Kings” protests, Acosta stopped to review several signs held by demonstrators.

One sign, held by a woman who appeared to be a senior citizen, featured a photo of President Trump in golf attire and the message, “OK cholesterol, do your job!”

Acosta read the sign out loud and laughed about it.

“I think I know what that means!” Acosta said, gleefully.

He added, “That’s very funny, it’s very clever!”

WATCH:

Acosta continued his live coverage of the protest, later commenting on another sign referencing the unreleased Epstein files.

The full encounter happens at approximately the 21-minute mark in Acosta’s YouTube episode titled “NO KINGS 3 WASHINGTON, DC: THE PRE GAME SHOW.”

(VIDEO) Tim Burchett Eviscerates Senate RINOs for Refusal to Fund Government and Pass SAVE Act, Calls for Thune to be Replaced as Leader
March 29, 2026

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) tore into the US Senate and Senate leadership over their failure to reopen the government and the Republican Party’s refusal to execute on its mandate and pass the SAVE America Act on Sunday. 

The Senate remains deadlocked on both issues due to a slim majority, but could quickly solve both by terminating the 60-vote requirement to pass legislation in the filibuster. However, Senate RINOs, including Leader John Thune, refuse to follow the will of their voters and do so.

Butchett went off on John Thune for his failure on the highly popular SAVE America Act, which would require voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, and for passing a garbage funding bill in the middle of the night to fund the Department of Homeland Security without funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, then ditching town.

“you, as a member of the media, ought to be disgusted to the fact they passed that thing at 2:25 in the morning, and left all the other senators kind of hanging,” Burchett told Fox’s Jacqui Heinrich, slamming Thune for cutting a deal with Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer.

“The whole deal of the stereotype of Congress is, and it’s well deserved, is that we pass stuff in the dark of night because we don’t have any guts, and that’s clearly what’s shown in the Senate leadership,” he added, calling for Thune to be ousted.

“I think they need to get some new leadership over there, in my opinion.”

WATCH:

Burchett: I think he made a huge mistake, ma’am. 83% of the population supports President Trump and SAVE America Act, which they should. He ignores that, and you, as a member of the media, ought to be disgusted to the fact they passed that thing at 2:25 in the morning, and left all the other senators kind of hanging.

All he had to do is have five of his cronies on the floor. He cuts a deal with Schumer. Obviously, the leadership in the Senate, and that’s on both sides of the aisle, has a real disgust for this President and House leadership because they didn’t even have the guts to call Speaker Mike Johnson and let them know what happened.

The whole deal of the stereotype of Congress is, and it’s well deserved, is that we pass stuff in the dark of night because we don’t have any guts, and that’s clearly what’s shown in the Senate leadership. I think they need to get some new leadership over there, in my opinion.

He further slammed the Senate for bailing on vacation while the government remains shut down, touting his Do Your Job Act, which he has introduced numerous times since 2019 to freeze Congressional salaries if federal employees are not getting paid due to a shutdown.

“When government’s in a shutdown, or a partial shutdown, as this is, we shouldn’t get paid, he said,” slamming his colleagues as “spoiled brats.” To the members who complain about their nearly $200,000-a-year salary for almost no work, he said, “Dadgummit, go home!”

WATCH:

Burchett: I think we need to get back and get back to work, Ma’am. We used to say in the state legislature, you shouldn’t have hired on if you didn’t want to work. And clearly they don’t want to work. But honestly, I do more work when I’m at home. You know, I can’t get used to those two hour work weeks when I’m in Washington, waiting on the Senate to budge on something, and that’s clearly what’s going on here. And Harvey’s right. TMZ, he is correct. I hope they bust some people on this thing because this is ridiculous. America’s suffering, we’re paying more at the pumps.

These ridiculous lines, were forcing TSA agents to work for free multiple times this year, and yet, Congress has continued to be paid. That’s why I sponsored legislation to do away with that. When government’s in a shutdown, or a partial shutdown, as this is, we shouldn’t get paid, but we’re a bunch of spoiled brats, ma’am. And you know, I get sick and tired of congressmen saying they can’t, you know, “You know how much money I could make if I just went home and worked?” Well, dadgummit, go home!

More people have played professional baseball than have been in the United States Congress. You need to treat it as— I treat it as an honor. Every time I get off that plane and look at that capital, I get chills, and when you don’t you need to pack it up and come home.

SICKENING: North Carolina Youth Group Trained Teens as Young as 14 to Become ‘Abortion Doulas’ in Two-Day Event at UNC Charlotte

SICKENING: North Carolina Youth Group Trained Teens as Young as 14 to Become ‘Abortion Doulas’ in Two-Day Event at UNC Charlotte
March 29, 2026

Signage of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, featuring brick towers and landscaping, set against a clear blue sky.

A recent report has uncovered that a youth collective affiliated with Advocates for Youth hosted a two-day in-person “Abortion Support Training” at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in November, explicitly open to participants as young as 14 years old.

The event was organized by the Youth Abortion Support Collective (YouthASC), a nationwide network of young people under the umbrella of Advocates for Youth.

The training aimed to teach attendees the tools, resources, and skills needed for “abortion support” work, including how to become an “abortion doula,” companion, or support person.

According to the official event invitation, the training was described as follows:

“This training is for young people ages 14-24 and will provide an introduction to the tools, resources, and skills for abortion support work. We welcome anyone who is interested in becoming an abortion doula, companion, and/or support person. The training will center youth-led abortion support efforts, specifically for high school and college students, but we will also discuss how to offer support as community members and continue advocacy after leaving campus.”

The invitation further explained the role of an “abortion doula” using a definition from Dopo, the partner organization that helped develop the curriculum:

“Anyone that can physically, emotionally, and/or spiritually hold space for someone before, during, and/or after abortion.”

The program covered clinical and non-clinical settings for procedural and medical abortions, as well as strategies for organizing campus communities to build networks.

The training was promoted as part of a broader national effort by YouthASC to make “abortion doula” training accessible to activists aged 14–24. Advocates for Youth has run similar youth-focused programs, including multi-week online series and in-person sessions at other campuses.

The group has also hosted panels on “abortion funding for minors, challenges young people face in accessing care, and the state of abortion access in our region.”

A spokesperson for the University of North Carolina at Charlotte issued a statement to Fox News, confirming the event was hosted by a registered student organization.

“This particular event was organized and hosted by a registered student organization. The University is a marketplace of ideas, and as a public institution, we provide space on our campus for our students and student organizations to hold a wide range of events and discussions consistent with University and UNC System policies and state and federal law.”

The spokesperson added, “All groups holding events must follow applicable policies, including those related to minors and safety. We remain neutral on the diverse social and political points of view expressed by the more than 450 registered student organizations on our campus. Their events do not represent the views of the University.”

Breitbart News reports:

So-called “abortion doulas” sometimes work for free or on a sliding scale, while others may charge $200 to $800 for their services, KGOU reported in 2022.

It is important to note that as with the YouthASC invite, the abortion industry has targeted young people to spread its message and recruitment.

In 2021, Breitbart News reported that two abortion doulas created a children’s book to normalize the killing of unborn children as “another outcome of pregnancy.” The outlet noted the authors were working with abortion giant Planned Parenthood and Abortion Care Network to donate the book to clinics across the United States.
