Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s (AOC) campaign paid out nearly $19,000 in 2025 to a psychiatrist known for ketamine-based treatments, according to Federal Election Commission records.

Filings obtained by The New York Post show three payments to Dr. Brian Boyle totaling $18,725. The expenses were listed as “leadership training and consulting.”

Boyle is a Boston-based psychiatrist and chief medical officer at Stella, a clinic focused on alternative treatments for conditions including PTSD and depression.

He has publicly discussed the use of ketamine in mental health care.

“I just saw the incredible power of what these treatments could do,” Boyle said in a podcast las year. “It’s a ton of fun helping patients get better.”

“Celebrities tend to be more inclined to be on the hunt for highly effective solutions across beauty, health, mental health, nutrition and so on.”

The campaign has not elaborated services were provided or who took part.

AOC has previously backed expanding research into psychedelics. In 2019, she pushed for federal funding into substances like psilocybin and MDMA.

“From the oioid crisis to psilocybin’s potential with PTDS, it’s well past time we take drug use out of criminal consideration and into medical consideration,” she swrote at the time.

”That begins with research. I’m proud to introduce an amendment that helps scientists do their jobs.”

The proposal failed at the time but similar efforts later passed in 2023.

It is not the first time that AOC has been caught spending other people’s money on questionable campaign activities.

Last March, it was revealed that she had secretly charged axpayers thousands of dollars for dance lessons and lavish parties at Mexican restaurants.

.@AOC got dance lessons on 12/13/2024 from Bombazo Dance Co Inc and made the US taxpayer cover the $850 bill for that “training.”

On the same day there was $3,700 paid to Juan D Gonzalez for more “training.”

A man who admitted to fatally shooting a pregnant woman was found not guilty by reason of insanity.

As previously reported, a pregnant woman was shot and killed in her car at a Seattle intersection in June 2023.

Eina Kwon, 34, a mother of a 2-year-old child, was senselessly murdered while sitting in her car with her husband.

Her unborn child died following the shooting.

According to reports, the suspect, 30-year-old Cordell Maurice Goosby, ran up to the driver’s side of the vehicle and fired several shots before running away.

Eina Kwon was struck several times and her husband, Sung-hyun Kwon, was shot in the arm.

Kwon was rushed to a nearby hospital so her baby could be delivered by emergency C-section but it was too late.

The young mother and her unborn baby died.

Her husband survived.

At the time of the shooting, Goosby told police he thought he saw a gun in the car and acted in self-defense when he fired on the couple, however, video revealed he was lying.

“No amount of justice will bring that family home again,” Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz said at the time of the senseless murder.

“We know that this has great impacts to the community, not only the greater community, but the Korean community. I have been in conversations and communications with members throughout the community to try and ensure that we are doing everything we can to make this community safe,” he said.

On Friday, Goosby was found not guilty by way of insanity.

KIRO 7 News reported:

The man accused of shooting and killing a woman and her unborn child in Belltown in June of 2023 has been found not guilty by reason of insanity.

Cordell Goosby will be sent to a psychiatric hospital like Western State, potentially for the rest of his life.

He is accused of walking up to a car near Fourth and Lenora and opening fire, killing a pregnant woman and her unborn child and injuring her husband in what investigators described as a random attack.

Goosby was arrested shortly after the shooting. Court proceedings after the arrest included discussion over his psych evals, which featured a history of hard drug use. Lawyers argued over whether he was competent to stand trial.

“Mr. Goosby previously did have competency issues and went through competency restoration,” Gabrielle Charlton, chair of the Felony Competency and Forensic Mental Health Unit at the King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office, said in a prerecorded statement.

Goosby was eventually found competent to stand trial, but the insanity plea is different; it deals with his mental state at the time of the shooting. The insanity was confirmed by experts hire by both the defense and prosecution.

President Turmp’s border czar Tom Homan just cooked Dana Bash over Trump’s plan to send ICE agents into airports across the country.

During an interview on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday, Homan was asked about Trump’s plan to deploy ICE agents to do the work of TSA agents.

The proposal would see them temporarily replace TSA staff affected by the partial DHS shutdown and even arrest illegal aliens passing through the airport.

“With respect, if you’re doing this in 24 hours how well thought out could it possibly be?” Bash asked.

“Again, ICE has been at airports across the country for a long time, it’s just expanding those,” Homan replied.

“How much of a plan does it take to guard an exit to make sure no one comes through that exit?”

”We’re talking about security options and these officers are well trained in security and they are well trained in identification.”

“We are going to do what we can to help TSA move those people through the line.

Watch the clip below:

The proposal comes as lines in airports across teh country have exploded in length because of Democratic efforts to block the funding of Homeland Security.

Videos taken at major airports show lines running well out of the airport entrances, causing delays massive disruption to people’s travel plans.

Trump first floated the idea on Saturday as negotiations to fully reopen the DHS continue to stall.

He wrote:

If the Radical Left Democrats don’t immediately sign an agreement to let our Country, in particular, our Airports, be FREE and SAFE again, I will move our brilliant and patriotic ICE Agents to the Airports where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before, including the immediate arrest of all Illegal Immigrants who have come into our Country, with heavy emphasis on those from Somalia, who have totally destroyed, with the approval of a corrupt Governor, Attorney General, and Congresswoman, Ilhan Omar, the once Great State of Minnesota.

I look forward to seeing ICE in action at our Airports.

Democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell has been missing votes in Congress while running for California governor, spending his time hanging out at a $23.4 million Beverly Hills mansion owned by one of his top campaign donors.

Swalwell has visited the lavish 9,700-square-foot estate on Roxbury Drive on at least 10 different days since September, according to a report from the New York Post.

The property, owned by Las Vegas timeshare mogul Stephen Cloobeck, features six bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a tennis court, double gates, and luxury artwork that Swalwell has used as a backdrop for social media videos and TV interviews.

Congressional records show Swalwell missed House floor votes on at least three days when he posted content from the mansion.

Swalwell missed more votes in 2025 than any other active member of Congress, more than even the late Rep. Raúl Grijalva, who died in March.

Cloobeck has been a major backer of Swalwell’s gubernatorial campaign. He contributed $1 million to a supporting committee, provided resources from his own short-lived 2025 governor bid, and previously spent $31,000 on a trip flying Swalwell to Nice, France, according to congressional gift reports. Cloobeck has publicly referred to Swalwell as his “Little Brother” and confirmed the use of his home for campaign work, saying of one televised hit, “That’s my backdrop. Mi casa, su casa.”

The visits occurred during key moments in Swalwell’s campaign, including the October government shutdown, his November campaign rollout, a December campaign stop, and multiple days in January.

Swalwell’s campaign spokesperson, Micah Beasley, told Politico the campaign is “grateful to have Stephen Cloobeck’s support in this race.” Neither Swalwell nor Cloobeck responded to further requests for comment from the New York Post.

The story also raises questions about Swalwell’s California residency.

Swalwell claims to have lived in a rented Livermore home since 2017, but neighbors there say they have never seen him, despite his living on the street for years. His actual family home is in Washington, D.C.

The Post reports:

One question is why Swalwell would need to stay at Cloobeck’s casa.

The Bay Area congressman’s neighbors in Livermore couldn’t identify Swalwell when The Post showed them his picture, despite Swalwell claiming to have lived on the quiet cul-de-sac since 2017.

“I’ve never seen him,” said Gita Prusty, who’s lived on the street for five years.

Campaign records show Swalwell has spent thousands of dollars on luxury hotel rooms in and around his district.

Swalwell’s campaign, which did not respond to The Post’s requests for comment, has refused to provide any documentation on a lease agreement or monthly payments for the three-bedroom house, which is just 1,350 square feet and also home to another family.

A Sacramento judge tentatively struck down a lawsuit challenging his ballot eligibility, with a final hearing scheduled for Monday.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton told the Post, “I honestly can’t figure out what’s going on with Eric Swalwell.”

“He obviously has no interest in his current job, because he missed more votes than a member of Congress who died,” Hilton added. “He clearly doesn’t have any real interest in California either, because he lives in another state.”

Riverside County Sheriff and California gubernatorial candidate Chad Bianco has seized more than 650,000 ballots from last November’s election as part of an investigation into potential discrepancies in the county’s vote count.

The probe follows allegations from the Riverside Election Integrity Team that the county’s tally may have been inflated by more than 45,000 votes.

“This investigation is simple: Physically count the ballots and compare that result with the total votes recorded,” Bianco said at a Friday press conference.

He said the review will determine whether the results are accurate.

“There is no acceptable error, small or large, in our elections,” he said.

The investigation covers ballots tied to Proposition 50, which passed in Riverside County with 56 percent of the vote, a margin of more than 82,000 ballots.

Riverside County Registrar of Voters Art Tinoco said the alleged discrepancy stems from a misunderstanding of incomplete data.

He said the actual variance was 103 votes, or 0.016 percent.

I think Eric Swalwell read the story wrong. We were the ones investigating the 45,000 vote discrepancy.

Your Attorney General is the one trying to block it. https://t.co/KvuHSAmk5o

— Sheriff Chad Bianco (@ChadBianco) March 21, 2026

Bianco said the process is not a recount of the measure, but a full verification of the ballots.

“It is just as much to prove the election is accurate as it is to show otherwise — we will not know until the count is complete,” he said.

The move has predictably upset Democrats, who fear what Bianco may find.

Among them is Attorney General Rob Bonta, who called the investigation “unprecedented in both scope and scale” and said it appears “not to be based on facts or evidence.”

Bonta also said his office had requested information about the probe.

“[The sheriff] has delayed, stonewalled, and otherwise refused to work with us in good faith,” Bonta said.

“Let me be clear: this is unacceptable,” Bonta wrote in a letter to Bianco earlier this month.

”Your decision to seize ballots and begin counting them based on vague, unsubstantiated allegations sets a dangerous precedent and will only sow distrust in our elections.”

Bianco responded by calling Bonta “an embarrassment to law enforcement.”

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber also complained about the probe, saying the sheriff’s deputies “are not elections officials and they do not have expertise in election administration.”

Bianco said a Riverside County Superior Court judge has ordered the appointment of a special master to oversee the ballot count.

The investigation comes as Bianco, a Republican candidate for governor, continues to gain traction in the race. A recent poll showed him among the leading candidates in the field.
