🚨 BREAKING: We're on the ground at Mayor Mamdani's Tax Day Forum in New York City — and history was just made.
New York just passed the FIRST pied-à-terre tax in state history.
Here's what that means: When billionaires like Ken Griffin buy a $238 million penthouse in NYC and leave it sitting empty, they pay ZERO New York income taxes. They benefit from everything that makes this city great — and contribute nothing back.
That ends TODAY.
This new annual tax on luxury second homes worth $5 million or more will raise $400 MILLION every year — money that goes straight to free childcare, cleaner streets, and safer neighborhoods for working New Yorkers.
Mayor Mamdani ran on taxing the rich. 100 days into office, he's delivering.
This isn't just a win for New York. This is the blueprint for the entire country.
Share this if you think billionaires should pay their fair share.
Bill Clinton just DESTROYED the Republican witch hunt in his Epstein deposition — and made Donald Trump look absolutely pathetic by comparison!
BREAKING: While Republicans tried to turn the Jeffrey Epstein tragedy into another cheap partisan circus, President Bill Clinton showed up, raised his right hand under oath, and told the truth straight to their faces. No dodging, no whining, no hiding behind endless delays like a certain orange ex-president we all know.
Right from the start, Clinton laid it out like a real leader: "America is built on the idea that no one is above the law — even Presidents, ESPECIALLY Presidents." BOOM! That's the kind of accountability today's MAGA Republicans can't stand, because their whole game is "rules for thee but not for me."
He centered the REAL victims — the girls and women Jeffrey Epstein horrifically abused — and demanded justice and healing for them, not more political point-scoring. Republicans? They've been treating this nightmare like a piñata to whack for clicks and Fox News soundbites.
Clinton didn't mince words about the GOP's shameful tactics: They dragged Hillary Clinton in for SIX HOURS of nonsense, even though she had ZERO connection to Epstein — never met him, never flew with him, never visited his islands. Clinton called it what it was: pure spectacle, not fact-finding. "Whether you subpoenaed 10 people or 10,000, including her was simply not right." Mic drop!
Then came the line Republicans are already melting down over: "I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong." He backed it up with facts — he knew NOTHING about Epstein's crimes, cut ties years before the monster's 2008 plea deal came to light, and said if he'd ever suspected anything, he would've "turned him in myself" and fought for justice.
Even with perfect hindsight, Clinton said he saw zero red flags because Epstein hid his evil so well from EVERYONE. That's not evasion — that's honesty.
Contrast this with Donald Trump, who Epstein himself called his "closest friend" for years, who wished Ghislaine Maxwell "well" after her arrest, and who STILL refuses to testify or release the full Epstein files he promised to declassify. Trump hides, deflects, and rages on Truth Social while Clinton steps up like an adult.
Bill Clinton just exposed the GOP's hypocrisy in real time: They weaponize victims' pain for political attacks on Democrats but go radio silent when it comes to holding Trump accountable.
This isn't about "gotchas." It's about truth, justice, and putting survivors FIRST — something Republicans clearly forgot how to do.
SHARE if you're proud of President Clinton for showing up, telling the truth, and reminding everyone what real leadership looks like!
BREAKING: Hillary Clinton DISMANTLES the Republicans during her Jeffrey Epstein deposition to Congress, tell them to ask Trump "under oath" about the "tens of thousands of times he showed up in the Epstein files."
This MAGA scheme backfired immediately...
“You have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers,” Clinton said.
She tore into House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer for being such a shameless partisan hack for Trump and said that his committee subpoenaed her "based on its assumption that I have information regarding the investigations into the criminal activities of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Let me be as clear as I can. I do not."
"As I stated in my sworn declaration on January 13, I had no idea about their criminal activities," she said. "I do not recall ever encountering Mr. Epstein. I never flew on his plane or visited his island, homes or offices. I have nothing to add to that."
There is absolutely no indication that the former Secretary of State has any knowledge about Epstein, despite her husband's associations with him. As Democrats have said time and again, we don't care who is implicated in the files. Release them all and let the chips fall where they may.
Clinton urged Comer to make himself “worthy of the trust the American people have given you.”
She further accused Republicans of conducting their sham investigation in such a way that it is clearly "designed to protect one political party and one public official."
"A committee run by elected officials with a commitment to transparency would ensure the full release of all the files," she said.
"Instead, you have compelled me to testify, fully aware that I have no knowledge that would assist your investigation, in order to distract attention from President Trump’s actions and to cover them up despite legitimate calls for answers," Clinton continued.
"If this Committee is serious about learning the truth about Epstein’s trafficking crimes, it would not rely on press gaggles to get answers from our current president on his involvement; it would ask him directly under oath about the tens of thousands of times he shows up in the Epstein files,” she added.
There is a simple way to cut through all of this noise and finally get the full truth before the American people. Release the Epstein files and prosecute everyone who is implicated in them. Focusing on the Clintons is the last ditch effort of a White House desperate for a distraction. It won't work.
Please ❤️ and share to demand that Trump be forced to testify next!
Kash Patel in 2023: I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.
Let’s use the ICE playbook - round up everyone named in the Epstein files and anyone who protected them, detain them without due process, send them to concentration camps, then ship them off to some third-world prison. We’ll sort out innocence later… if we ever bother.
