📰 Comrade Chris’ – Republicans aim to anchor Mamdani to Democrats across the country
Republican politicians are seizing on Zohran Mamdani’s victory in the mayoral primary in New York City to attack Democrats nationwide. Mamdani’s win has energized Republicans to link him with other Democrats in competitive races, such as in New Hampshire’s 2026 Senate race. The GOP is using digital ads to connect Mamdani with prominent Democrats like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, labeling them as far-left and socialist. Mamdani’s progressive policies, such as free bus rides and government-run grocery stores, are being used by Republicans to paint him as extreme. Despite the attacks, Democrats are downplaying the impact of the GOP strategy, citing the unique political landscape of New York City compared to other parts of the country.

📰 Inside longtime Biden aide’s marathon closed-door grilling in House GOP cover-up probe
Ashley Williams, a longtime ally of former President Joe Biden, met with House investigators for nearly six hours as Republicans investigate allegations that top aides hid Biden’s mental decline. During the interview, Williams claimed not to recall various details multiple times, including discussions about Biden’s cognitive health and the use of teleprompters. Despite this, she affirmed that Biden is fit to be president. House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer is also looking into whether presidential orders were signed without Biden’s knowledge and if there was a cover-up of his alleged decline. Republican investigators have raised concerns about Biden’s fitness for office, particularly after a disastrous debate in June 2024, but Williams defended his performance during that event. Williams, who worked for Biden’s 2020 campaign and in the White House, was subpoenaed by the committee last year but was reportedly blocked from providing information. She is the third person to appear before investigators in recent weeks.
