Ossoff: Now maybe you saw Trump's so desperate he's begging Putin for diesel. But listen to this, at the very same time, the White House is brokering the sale of billions in Russian energy assets to people who fund the Trump family and the Trump campaign. We're talking oil fields, refineries, gas stations all over the world to be sold to the first family's cronies in a deal brokered and backed by the U.S. governmentโฆ
Amidst a global energy crisis, the president's son-in-law and the president's business partner are brokering the sale of Russian oil fields to the first family's friends. The same friends who have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into Trump family businesses.
And then there's Marco Rubio committing $1.6 billion of your money to back the Trump boys' mining interests in Kazakhstan. Did you hear about that? Pete Hegseth steering hundreds of millions of Pentagon dollars to back Don Jr.'s magnet investment. Venezuelan oil money turning up in Qatari bank accounts. Because, see, they are literally the elites they pretend to hate. And here's the bottom line: If you're involved in any of this, next year you'll be raising your right hand and swearing to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help you God, in front of the United States Congress.
BREAKING: Mayor Zohran Mamdani enrages MAGA by urging New York City parking lot owners to ban ICE agents from their properties โ throwing a massive wrench into Trump's fascist plans.
This is such a brilliant chess move...
"Every day, your garages and lots serve the people who make New York City work: nurses coming off overnight shifts, contractors bringing equipment to job sites, families visiting relatives across the five boroughs, and customers headed to the shops and restaurants that fuel the vibrancy of our streets and our economy," the mayor wrote to the owners and operators of the properties in question.
"When the City closes roads for emergency repairs, a marathon, or a parade, your facilities give drivers somewhere to go," he continued. "Thank you for the essential service that you provide to millions of New Yorkers and visitors each day. We write to ask for your help at a critical juncture for our City: we are asking that you do not rent, lend, or otherwise make your property available to ICE as a staging area for its enforcement operations."
Over 100 elected officials, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, have signed on in support of the initiative. The move comes after ICE agents shot Oscar Belgal last week in his car with his 5-year-old son present.
A city that was already opposed to ICE's brutal tactics has now turned overwhelmingly against these masked, over-armed, undertrained, bloodthirsty paramilitary agents that are terrorizing innocent people. And now Mayor Mamdani is asking lot owners to do their part to fight back.
โIn solidarity with immigrant New Yorkers and in our shared commitment to the City we love, we ask that you do not rent, lend or otherwise make your property available to ICE as a staging area for its enforcement operations,โ he wrote.
"Make it known to ICE that it is not authorized to use your garages and lots," Mamdani continued. "Some of you have already taken this step. On Morton Street in downtown Manhattan, an operator removed ICE vehicles from a garage after neighbors spoke up. We are grateful for this action and invite every owner to follow this courageous example. Should you like to discuss this matter further please contact our NYC Commissioner of Immigrant Affairs Faiza Ali at [email protected]."
"Time and again, New York City has made it through challenging moments because government, businesses, and community leaders come together and show the world what New Yorkers can do," he added.
Predictably, Republicans on social media are losing their minds over this letter, calling Mamdani a "terrorist" and "traitor" who should be deported. But why should he care? They say that anyway. He might as well pursue good policies like this one while his enemies screech in vain.
"Owners who refuse to take part in these federal civil immigration enforcement operations advance public safety by protecting their own staff and customers, as well as fellow New Yorkers beyond their lots and garages. They also tell every immigrant New Yorker that they are treasured members of this community and that our City welcomes them with open arms. We hope you will stand with us," Mamdani concluded.
Do you support this idea?
Please โค๏ธ and share to urge the parking lot owners to sign on!
@cnnbrk How much you want to bet that diaper Don will make this a law after he is confirmed? He is dead set on giving these thugs our hard earned money ๐คฌ
