Sen. Elizabeth Warren Backs Zohran Mamdani’s Proposal For State-Owned Grocery Stores

Senator Elizabeth Warren has thrown her support behind New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s proposal for government-owned grocery stores.

During an appearance on CNBC Squawk Box on Friday, the Massachusetts Senator was asked about some of Mamdani’s most radical proposals, which include the state owning and subsidizing groceries with its own stores.

She explained:

We’ve got a problem with entire food deserts where people can’t get access to grocery stores.

He said, I’d like to take a look at whether or not we can have some kind of — like we do on military bases — you have some kind of support from the city government that says, we’re going to get some food, grocery stores in areas that, right now, are food deserts.

And by the way, it’s a new and fresh plan for New York City. But it’s been tried in other cities around the country and has had some real successes.

So, what I hear Mamdani say is, I want to try things to make it work for working families. And you know what? This is how democracy works.

A lot of people in New York City said, that sounds good to me, I’d rather try that than any of the other alternatives available to me, I support that.

Frequent Stephen Colbert Guest Elizabeth Warren Pushes Conspiracy Theory About Show’s Cancellation

In case you haven’t heard, the painfully unfunny ‘Late Night With Stephen Colbert’ show has been cancelled by CBS. What a shame.

Colbert has not been funny in years. He took a show that used to be produced for the enjoyment of the whole country and used it as a vehicle for his personal and pathological hatred of Trump.

Colbert made it a habit to invite various Democrats on the show on a regular basis, just for the purpose of bashing Trump. One of those regular guests was Elizabeth Warren. She has appeared on the show numerous times and you could tell that Colbert just loves her.

This is one of the reasons millions of Americans stopped watching, which probably made cancelling the show an easier decision.

Within hours of the announcement, Warren took to Twitter/X and began pushing a conspiracy theory about all of this, suggesting that the decision to pull Colbert is political, and is about the upcoming CBS merger deal. She even calls it a “bribe.”

President Trump’s Crypto Czar, David Sacks, Says Elizabeth Warren Behind Biden Regime Anti-Crypto Agenda… ‘Controlled Autopen’

In a fiery Fox Business interview on Tuesday, President Trump’s newly appointed Crypto and AI Czar, David Sacks, pulled no punches — directly accusing radical leftist Senator Elizabeth Warren of running the Biden White House’s infamous autopen and using it as a weapon to “terrorize” the crypto community.

Sacks, the Silicon Valley entrepreneur turned pro-Trump policymaker, didn’t mince words during the interview.

He accused “Pocahontas” Warren of waging a personal war against digital finance, calling her actions a “pathological hatred” of crypto.

Sacks: “This is the financial system of the future, Jessie, and we have to encourage it. What the Biden administration was doing—and let’s face it, it wasn’t Biden—Elizabeth Warren controlled the autopen during that administration.

She, for some reason, has this pathological hatred of the crypto community. She wants to drive this community offshore; she doesn’t want it happening in the United States. That’s the wrong policy for the United States.

We want all the innovation happening here. This is a financial system of the future. It’s cheaper, it’s more efficient—we want it happening here, Jessie. And I think people are thrilled that President Trump is making that possible.”

Elizabeth Warren Humiliates Herself Defending Biden’s Mental Acuity: ‘He Was on His Feet.’

During a recent appearance on the podcast “Talk Easy with Sam Fragoso,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) found herself squirming under the weight of her own words as she tried — and failed — to defend past remarks about Joe Biden’s mental acuity. What unfolded was a meandering, painfully awkward exchange that exposed just how untenable the party line has become. Even the most loyal Democrats are struggling to maintain the illusion that Biden is still mentally sharp, and Warren’s stammering, half-hearted defense was nothing short of humiliating.

Fragoso began by zeroing in on Warren’s repeated defense of Biden’s mental fitness during his presidency. 

“Do you regret saying that President Biden had a mental acuity, he had a sharpness to him? You said that up until July of last year,” he asked.

Warren, visibly cautious, responded, “I said what I believed to be true.”

But Fragoso pressed further, not letting her get away with a vague non-answer: “And he, you think he was as sharp as you?”

That’s when the wheels started to come off. There was a long pause, followed by a silent, nervous chuckle from Warren. She finally replied, “Um, I said I had not seen decline.” After another pause, she added, “And I hadn’t at that point.”

Fragoso wasn’t buying it. He followed up: “You did not see any decline from 2024 Joe Biden to 2021 Joe Biden?”

Warren stuck to her guns — barely. “Not when I said that. You know, the, uh, the — the thing is he… Look, he was sharp, he was on his feet. I saw him [at] live event[s], I had meetings with him a couple of times.”

But “on his feet” clearly wasn’t the answer Fragoso was looking for or one that inspired confidence, and he called her out on it.

“Senator, ‘on his feet’ is not praise,” he said. “‘He can speak in sentences’ is not praise.”

Warren, sounding increasingly deflated, conceded: “All right. Fair enough. Fair enough.”

Sen. Warren Introduces Bill to Tighten Ethics Standards for Musk and Other Special Government Employees

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) has announced new legislation that will subject Elon Musk and other “special government employees” (SGEs) to the same ethics rules as other federal employees. 

Warren said the legislation was prompted by Musk’s close advisory access to President Donald Trump, coupled with the fact that Musk’s companies have been the recipients of billions in government contracts and subsidies for over a decade.

Her proposed legislation aims to prevent conflicts of interest by preventing SGEs from communicating with government agencies whose work overlaps with their business interests. 

The bill “would apply standard ethics rules to SGEs starting on the SGE’s 61st day in government,” would require the Office of Government Ethics to sign off on any conflict-of-interest waivers issued to SGEs, and make such waivers public. 

A fact sheet on the bill states that “While most ethics laws for regular federal employees apply to SGEs, some apply more loosely and others do not apply at all.”

It would also allow public access to some SGE financial disclosures and require the Office of Personnel Management to keep a list of which federal workers are designated as SGEs.

Elizabeth Warren: Congress Has to Take Tariff Authority Away from Trump

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Congress had to take away the tariff authority from President Donald Trump.

Warren said, “It is a mistake to have the President of the United States out there just playing red light, green light and saying, oh, this morning I woke up and think the tariffs should be this big. Now, I think they should be this big; now, I think they should be somewhere else. And I got to say, saying, well, I will continue to make those decisions and I’m going to hold off on these tariffs for 90 days, that doesn’t put the economy in a better place. That doesn’t put investors in a better place.”

She added, “Congress has a job right now, and that is to step up and take this authority away from Donald Trump. He has proven how he will use it. But remember the statute that he’s now using starts with a declaration of emergency. And in that same statute, Congress has the responsibility to decide is it really an emergency or not? Are we really in an emergency with Belgium right now? Are we really in an emergency with South Korea? Congress can say no, there’s no emergency. It’s a resolution. And if we do that, it takes Donald Trump back to the trade as we had it before. Tariffs are then decided with Congress having an important say in it. That’s an important signal to the rest of the world. Right now it’s a no curbs on Donald Trump and that means chaos and corruption. We have an opportunity in Congress to vote that down and to say, no, we are going to use tariffs in a far more targeted way.”

EPIC! President Trump Calls Out Warmonger Elizabeth “Pocahontas” Warren During Speech – Then Warren Claps for 20 More Seconds

President Trump called out Democrat Senator Elizabeth Warren (MA) during his Congressional Address on Tuesday after the Democrat clapped in favor of five more years of war in Ukraine. 

Democrats interrupted with loud clapping as President Trump noted that hundreds of billions of dollars have gone to Ukraine, and “millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight.”

They were clapping for war!

Trump then asked, “Do you want to keep it going for another five years?” Elizabeth Warren apparently continued clapping. “Yeah, you would say—Pocahontas says, Yes,” Trump replied.

Trump: I’m also working tirelessly to end the savage conflict in Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians and Russians have been needlessly killed or wounded in this horrific and brutal conflict with no end in sight. The United States has sent hundreds of billions of dollars to support Ukraine’s defense with no security.

You want to keep it going for another five years? Yeah, you would say— Pocahontas says, Yes.

Elizabeth Warren’s Hubris Allowed Trump To Defund the CFPB

Since at least the days of the ancient Greeks, humans have known that one way to write a compelling story is by including a bit of hamartia—a tragic flaw.

Sometimes that is a physical shortcoming—Achilles had that famously vulnerable heel—but it is often more interesting if the flaw is a more innate thing tied to a character’s understanding of themselves. Hubris, or excessive pride, is the famous one. After all, it wasn’t really Achilles’ unprotected heel that took him down, but his false belief that his mother had made him invulnerable.

You might say the exact same thing about the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). It could be headed into a sort of coma later this year because of a fatal flaw embedded by its own parents: Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D–Mass.) and former President Barack Obama.

Unlike every other department and agency within the federal government, the CFPB is not funded via congressional appropriations. Instead, its funding flows directly from the Federal Reserve. Each year, the White House submits a budget to the Federal Reserve, and the central bank hands over the necessary amount—$729.4 million last year, in case you were wondering.

For a long time after the CFPB was created in 2010, there were serious questions about the constitutionality of that structure. That finally got resolved last year, when the Supreme Court ruled that Congress was within its powers to hand off the purse strings. So, funding the CFPB via the Federal Reserve is not unconstitutional—it’s just unorthodox and foolish.

Here’s where the hubris enters the story. When Warren and Obama created the CFPB, they designed that unorthodox funding structure specifically to prevent a future Republican-led Congress from trying to defund the bureau. Remember, this was in the age when Republicans were running around the country telling voters they intended to repeal Obamacare too. By isolating the CFPB from Congress’ budgetary powers, Warren was trying to make it invulnerable to attack.

Instead, she simply gave it a fatal flaw.

Watch Elizabeth Warren Contradict Elizabeth Warren About the Importance of Court Rulings Depending on What’s at Stake

There is an old saying that if it weren’t for double standards, liberals wouldn’t have any standards at all. Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts is the living embodiment of that statement.

In recent years, Warren and many other Democrats have waged an almost daily war on the legitimacy of the U.S. Supreme Court. Now that they want to stop everything that Trump is trying to do, they are relying on courts to do it and saying that anyone who would undermine the legitimacy of those courts is a threat to democracy.

Watch the side-by-side video of Elizabeth Warren below. The first half is from last year, the second half is from this month.

Elizabeth Warren DESTROYED by X Community Notes Over Pharma Corruption

If ever you needed proof that X Community Notes is vastly superior to corporate “fact checks” as a way for real journalists to do real work countering “misinformation” rather than as a bludgeon to suppress dissident narratives, this is it.

Lying about being a Native American for DEI leg-ups, it turns out, isn’t the only dishonesty Elizabeth Warren peddles.

This lie, however, is much more consequential in terms of policy impact:  “I don’t take contributions from Big Pharma executives. I don’t take any corporate PAC money,” Elizabeth Warren says in the Senate hallway when confronted over her smears of RFK Jr.

But the contradictory proof is all right there in the X Community Notes window, just under the lying pharma tool, with links and links and links, rendering my job as a journalist exposing her blatant lies far easier: “Elizabeth Warren has in fact received donations from both Pharmaceutical companies and PAC organizations in the combined tune of millions of dollars.”
