Hasan Piker, Medea Benjamin Subpoenaed by Trump Administration

Remember back in March when Marxist influencer Hasan Piker, members of Code Pink, and other commies went to Cuba to essentially back up the regime, denounce Donald Trump and the United States, and make a mockery of the lives of the Cuban people? Well, it looks like they Trump administration isn’t letting that go lightly. 

Fox New Digital is reporting that the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) has issued administrative subpoenas to Piker and Medea Benjamin, the co-founder of Code Pink. According to Fox, it’s “part of a wider investigation into whether U.S. organizations and leaders violated U.S. laws and sanctions in supporting Cuba’s communist regime.”  

If you’ll recall, Piker and Benjamin were some of the faces of the group “Nuestra América Convoy,” mostly communist sympathizers who traveled to Cuba from multiple countries. They claimed they were there to bring humanitarian aid and investigate how U.S. sanctions and blockades were impacting the people of the country, but they spent their time cozying up with the Cuban regime and left the island nation shouting the regime’s propagandic talking points. 

While in Cuba, the group also stayed in a five-star hotel with power and held a concert (spoiler alert: it wasn’t acoustic) while much of the country suffered a blackout. They wined and dined at the hotel, while many people in the country dig through garbage to find food. They also took vehicle tours through the streets of Havana, as if they were on some sort of poverty porn safari tour and left claiming the people were out in the streets, having a good time.  

“But today is a beautiful day out here, 75 degrees, sunny — people are partying, people are partying in the f*cking streets,” Piker said, as if he’d been at a Margaritaville resort. “I don’t know if it’s like an island mindset — I don’t know if that has something to do with it; I’m sure it has something to do with it — but, like, they’re just chilling.”  

They’re out in the “f*cking streets” because they have no air conditioning, running water, or things to do inside, you moron, but I digress.  

Anyway, these subpoenas are called “Requests for Information,” and they seek to find out more about the financial, logistical, and communications information involved in planning the trip to determine if they violated any of the many U.S. sanctions on Cuba, including potentially unlicensed travel-related transactions, financing, logistics, delivery of goods, or contacts with sanctioned Cuban entities/government personnel. 

Fox reported earlier on Saturday that the Justice and Treasury Departments are “investigating U.S. nonprofits and activist groups for allegedly coordinating lobbying, messaging, fundraising, delegations, and political organizing efforts with Cuban government officials as part of a possible foreign influence campaign operating inside the United States.”  

According to Fox, 145 U.S. organizations that report around $1billion in combined revenue “are mobilizing in support of the Cuban government and the Communist Party of Cuba.

Rep. Chip Roy Files Bill to BAN Chinese Communists and Radical Islamists from Buying American Homes

Rep. Chip Roy has introduced new legislation to stop Chinese Communist Party members, radical Islamists, and other designated foreign adversaries from purchasing homes and real estate in the United States.

In an announcement on Tuesday, Roy declared that American property should belong to American citizens, not to geopolitical foes who seek to undermine the country from within.

The bill would explicitly prohibit individuals affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party, Islamist groups, or other designated adversaries from acquiring residential property.

“American homes belong to American families — not the Chinese Communist Party, foreign Islamists, or our geopolitical foes,” Roy told the Daily Caller. “While Americans struggle to afford housing, hostile regimes are buying up our land and neighborhoods.”

“This bill slams the door on foreign adversaries owning American housing and forces them to sell what they already control,” Roy added. “We’re putting America’s homes back in American hands.”

Housing affordability is a top issue for American families struggling with high prices and limited inventory, while foreign entities, especially from China, continue to snap up homes and farmland in strategic locations.

Radical Leftist Adored by Democrats Pushes ‘Violent Revolution’ Following Court Decision Against Virginia Gerrymander

People in the left are absolutely frothing at the mouth over the decision by the Virginia Supreme Court that tore down their effort to gerrymander the state.

Hasan Piker, an America-hating, self-proclaimed communist and streamer, who Democrats just can’t seem to get enough of, has alsready suggested violent revolution as a fix for the problem.

It’s just amazing how political violence has become so normal for people on the left. They just want their way and will do anything to get it.

Leftist streamer calls violent revolution ‘inevitable’ as Democrats explode over Virginia court decision

Democrats exploded in fury Friday after the Virginia Supreme Court struck down a party-backed redistricting map central to their midterm election strategy, with at least one prominent leftist voice going so far as to call violent revolution “inevitable.”

In a 4-3 decision, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled that a voter-approved map, which would give Democrats a 10-1 advantage in U.S. House races, violated the state’s constitution because of procedural errors in the map’s passage. Virginia voters will cast ballots in the 2026 midterms using the same district maps from the 2022 and 2024 elections, which Democrats currently hold 6-5.

But Democratic lawmakers and commentators alike have framed the Supreme Court’s ruling as an act going against the will of the people. Hasan Piker, a popular leftist streamer who has espoused antisemitic rhetoric and campaigns with congressional candidates, accused the Virginia Supreme Court of denying the results of the state’s redistricting referendum.

“Scotus gutted the voting rights act and tennessee carved up the last dem district destroying black voter power in the state,” Piker wrote on X. “Those who make peaceful revolution impossible, make violent revolution inevitable.”

Cori Bush Teams Up with Far-Left Streamer Hasan Piker, Who Has Called for Killing Republicans, at St. Louis Rally to Bash Trump Voters as ‘Racists and Monsters’ and Demand We Abolish ICE

Former Rep. Cori Bush, now mounting a 2026 comeback bid to reclaim Missouri’s 1st Congressional District, appeared alongside far-left Twitch streamer Hasan Piker at a May Day rally in downtown St. Louis on May 1.

During the event, the radical left duo unleashed attacks on Republicans and pushed demands to abolish ICE.

The rally at Aloe Plaza near Union Station drew hundreds of protesters from labor unions and community groups demanding higher wages and an end to ICE.

Bush, who lost her seat in the 2024 Democratic primary to incumbent Rep. Wesley Bell, used the stage to campaign aggressively ahead of the 2026 primary rematch.

In one clip shared by RNC Research, Bush openly acknowledged the disconnect between Democrats and voters while speaking to Piker before taking the stage.

“What they said is that ‘[President Trump] fights for me’…people don’t feel that way about the Democrats,” Bush admitted.

In her actual speech, Bush escalated her rhetoric on immigration enforcement, calling to abolish ICE and threatening to primary any elected official whose police cooperate with federal immigration authorities.

“Any elected official that is standing saying that our police need to work with ICE, we coming to vote you out,” Bush declared.

Communist and socialist groups call for ‘revolution’ and seizure of property at Minneapolis May Day rally

Communist and socialist groups called for a “revolution” at a May Day rally in Minneapolis Friday, highlighting the growing influence of far-left organizations at an event traditionally centered on workers’ rights.

Some of those demonstrators denounced capitalism and pushed for the seizure of private property and the means of production, marking a shift in tone from past May Day rallies that primarily focused on labor issues.

Protesters on the ground outlined a range of demands, including rent caps tied to income, a reduced work week and the redistribution of wealth from billionaires. The rally, which drew well over 1,000 people, was organized as an immigrant rights demonstration but brought together a broad mix of labor unions, activist organizations and far-left political groups marching side by side.

Among the groups present were the Communist Party USA, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization (FRSO), the Revolutionary Communists of America (RCA), the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) and members of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), with numerous participants carrying flags and signage featuring socialist imagery like the hammer and sickle.

Code Pink Commie Karens Exposed Themselves with Luxury ‘Revolution’ Vacation While Cubans Suffer

Television host Greg Gutfeld criticized a group of left-wing activists who traveled to Cuba and stayed in luxury accommodations during a widespread blackout, contrasting their experience with the conditions faced by ordinary Cubans.

Speaking alongside video clips of activists and commentators, Gutfeld described the trip as disconnected from the realities on the island, where residents have faced longstanding shortages and infrastructure issues.

“So far left activists went to Cuba and stayed in five star hotels while the rest of the country had a total blackout. Because nothing says fight the power when no one else has any, and nothing says solidarity, solidarity with the oppressed like maid service and a mint on your pillow,” Gutfeld said.

He added, “It’s their version of MTV spring break. But instead of Carmen Electra, you get Greta Thunberg. The Cuban people are eating rationed rice in the dark, and these clowns are chowing down on $20 Snickers bars.”

Gutfeld continued, “Call it Safari communism Club Med, but red nibbling on ceviche while real Cubans swim past sharks to get to Miami.”

Video shown during the segment included footage of a performance by Irish rap group Kneecap, where fans could be heard chanting, “Free, Free Palestine.”

Gutfeld reacted to the chant, saying, “Well, if those are Irish rappers, they should change their name from kneecap to sucky charms. They chant Free Palestine in a different country where people are rationing beans.”

Today’s Anti-Capitalists Want to Regulate What You Can Eat, How Often You Drive, and the Size of Your Home

It may sound cruel to say so, but such thinking closely mirrors that of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.

Planned economics is enjoying yet another revival. Climate protection advocates and anti-capitalists are demanding that capitalism be abolished and replaced with a planned economy.

Otherwise, they claim, humanity has no chance of survival.

In Germany, a book called Das Ende des Kapitalismus (Englisch: The End of Capitalism) is a bestseller and its author, Ulrike Herrmann, has become a regular guest on all the talk shows. She openly promotes a planned economy, although this has already failed once in Germany—just like everywhere else it has been tried.

Unlike under classical socialism, in a planned economy, companies are not nationalized, they are allowed to remain in private hands. But it is the state that specifies precisely what and how much is produced.

There would be no more flights and no more private motor vehicles. The state would determine almost every facet of daily life—for example, there would no longer be any single-family houses and no one would be allowed to own a second home. New construction would be banned because it is harmful to the environment. Instead, existing land would be distributed “fairly,” with the state deciding how much space is appropriate for each individual. And the consumption of meat would only be allowed as an exception because meat production is harmful to the climate.

In general, people should not eat so much: 2,500 calories a day are enough, says Herrmann, who proposes a daily intake of 500 grams of fruit and vegetables, 232 grams of whole meal cereals or rice, 13 grams of eggs, and 7 grams of pork.

“At first glance, this menu may seem a bit meager, but Germans would be much healthier if they changed their eating habits,” reassures this critic of capitalism. And since people would be equal, they would also be happy: “Rationing sounds unpleasant. But perhaps life would even be more pleasant than it is today, because justice makes people happy.”

Such ideas are by no means new. The popular Canadian critic of capitalism and globalization, Naomi Klein, admits that she initially had no particular interest in climate change. Then, in 2014, she wrote a hefty 500-page tome called This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate.

Why did she suddenly become so interested?

Communist LA Council Member Launches Mayoral Challenge Against Deranged Karen Bass

Over the weekend, Los Angeles City Council Member Nithya Raman launched what may be the most revealing mayoral campaign in the country. A member of both the Democrat Party and the Democrat Socialists of America, Raman is now running for mayor in 2026, positioning herself as the “accountable” alternative to Mayor Karen Bass. 

In reality, her candidacy exposes a deeper truth: the Democrat Party is no longer drifting toward socialism—it has embraced it.

Raman’s announcement was wrapped in familiar Democrat rhetoric—talk of accountability, urgency, affordability, and compassion. She positioned herself as ideologically aligned with Zohran Mamdani, the socialist who won the New York City mayoral race. Beneath the polished language, however, was a worldview that has failed everywhere it has been tried.

Raman is not just a progressive Democrat; she is an open socialist, part of an organization that explicitly advocates for government control over housing, energy, and large segments of the economy.

Democrats often insist that “democratic socialism” is different from socialism, and socialism is different from communism. History tells a different story. 

Every communist state in the world began as a socialist project. The Soviet Union. Mao’s China. Castro’s Cuba. Venezuela. Each promised fairness, equity, and government “accountability.” 

Each delivered shortages, corruption, repression, and economic collapse. The labels changed. The outcomes did not.

Raman’s own remarks highlight the contradiction. She criticizes City Hall for fiscal mismanagement while supporting the same tax-and-spend ideology that created Los Angeles’ budget crisis in the first place. 

She acknowledges that voters approved higher taxes for homelessness and housing, yet admits the city has failed to deliver results. That failure is the inevitable product of socialist governance—high spending, low accountability, and no consequences for failure.

Los Angeles already serves as a warning sign. Streetlights can take a year to fix. Homeless encampments persist despite billions spent. Housing costs continue to soar. Public trust has collapsed.

Founder of anti-capitalist group Take Back Power – who dumped manure at The Ritz and threw custard over the Crown jewels – is privately educated son of megayacht insurance executive

The ringleader of a leading anti-capitalist protest group is the son of a top executive at a superyacht insurance broker, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.

Privately educated Arthur Clifton, 25, is a leading organiser for Take Back Power, the protest group which this month dumped manure at The Ritz Hotel in Mayfair and threw apple crumble and custard at the Crown Jewels in the Tower of London.

The group – a successor to Just Stop Oil – has raised £56,000 in an online fundraiser for its campaigns to ‘tackle economic inequality’ and impose greater taxes on the rich.

But The Mail on Sunday can reveal that Clifton’s father, Michael, 58, is a boss at international insurance brokers Chaucer, which boasts of having taken $3.1 billion (£2.3 billion) in premiums in 2024.

Michael is the head of US casualty treaty – where a re-insurer covers a portfolio of risks – and has 30 years’ experience in the business.

In a huge contrast to what Take Back Power stands for, Chaucer boasts on its website of providing insurance coverage for private yachts – the preserve of the superrich – as well as other vessels such as cruise ships and tankers.

A source said: ‘Where Arthur’s dad works is in direct opposition to the aims and objectives of Take Back Power. Arthur has been given a private education and a wonderful lifestyle most young people can only dream of, funded by his dad working in the same environment he claims to want to fight against.’ 

Clifton grew up in an upmarket West London property and attended Latymer Upper School, one of the top public schools in the country where annual fees are £30,000.

Records show he was recently living in a £2 million house.

Clifton was previously a member of direct action group Youth Demand. Earlier this year he was given a 12-month community order, with 120 hours of unpaid work, for causing £5,000 of criminal damage by spraying orange paint at University College London in 2023.

Take Back Power said: ‘It’s time ordinary people decide how to make the super-rich pay their fair share, in order to fix Britain.’

“War Against ICE”: Anarcho-Communist Website Calls For Mobilization Across U.S.

AnarchistNews, the long-running anarcho-communist propaganda site, popular among Antifa militants and radical leftists, issued a movement order this week instructing “all anarchists across the country” to disrupt operations at ICE facilities in every city and to “celebrate life with fire against the death march of american law and order.”

“We invite all anarchists across the country not only to occupy and disrupt operations at ICE facilities in every city, but to celebrate life with fire against the death march of american law and order. With tactical diversity, lets meet in the streets and wage a carnival of war against ICE and all authority!” read a post titled “A Call for Anarchist Action in America,” anonymously submitted on AnarchistNews.

Given that AnarchistNews doesn’t usually create original reporting, it collects and reposts content from anarchist collectives, independent media, and individuals. It’s therefore difficult to determine who penned this action order. Still, its publication on the site suggests that Trump’s domestic terror designation of Antifa has riled up the base of far-left radicals who have already been attacking ICE facilities nationwide. This signals a likely rise in civil terrorism, as seen on Wednesday when a left-wing extremist opened fire at an ICE facility in Texas. 

On Wednesday morning, FBI Director Kash Patel provided new details about yesterday’s radical leftist shooter, who had written down notes during the planning phase of the attack, writing: “Hopefully this will give ICE agents real terror, to think, ‘Is there a sniper with AP rounds on that roof?”
