Comment on John Kelly and John Bolton Have Shouting Match Over Immigration

(WASHINGTON) — Vice President Kamala Harris used a profanity on Monday while offering advice to young Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders about how to break through barriers. Harris was participating in a conversation moderated by actor and comedian Jimmy O. Yang when he asked her what it means to be the first vice president of Asian descent and how that heritage has informed her views and roles as a leader.

(NEW YORK) — Donald Trump’s fixer-turned-foe, Michael Cohen, directly implicated the former president in a hush money scheme Monday, telling jurors that his celebrity client tasked him on several occasions to stifle stories about sex that he feared could torpedo his 2016 presidential campaign. “Stop this from getting out,” Cohen, the prosecution’s star witness, quoted Trump as telling him in reference to porn actor Stormy Daniels’ account of a sexual encounter with Trump a decade earlier. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] A similar episode occurred when Cohen alerted Trump that a Playboy model was alleging that she and Trump had an extramarital affair.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston will launch a new office within city government focused on neighborhood safety — one that will be independent from the city’s police force and its safety department. The concept announced by the mayor Monday is one that minority communities and progressives long have pushed for. The Johnston administration’s plan calls for creating the Denver Office of Neighborhood Safety at no additional cost to a city that already has had to make some tough budget decisions in 2024 to support its response to the migrant crisis. In the next eight to 12 weeks, the city will relocate 65 city positions from the Denver Department of Public Safety to the umbrella of the new office.

Former President Donald Trump faced off with his onetime fixer Michael Cohen in court on Monday, and for the most part, Cohen delivered a persuasive indictment. Even though the two men have had an openly antagonistic relationship for years, Trump appeared to be very performatively ignoring his former attorney, as Cohen methodically testified about Trump’s close involvement with a scheme to cover up his alleged extra-marital affairs, including one with adult film star Stormy Daniels, in the runup to the 2016 election.

At a rally in Wildwood, New Jersey on Saturday, former President Donald Trump made many questionable comments. He called Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “Fat Alvin.” He claimed migrant children “don’t speak English.” And he said that, if he’s re-elected, he will deport pro-Palestinian, antiwar protesters. “When I’m president, we will not allow our colleges to be taken over by violent radicals, and if you come here from a violent country and try to bring jihadism, or anti-Americanism, or antisemitism to our campuses, we will immediately deport you.

There’s no doubt about Jews being a smart people, but they’re also a stiff-necked one and remarkably slow to change their views.
