AOC Joins Top Dems In Abrupt Pivot Against 'Antisemitism' A synchronized burst of pro-Israel social media messaging from the Democratic Party's most ardent foot soldiers is raising eyebrows, as even their most progressive members are taking on 'antisemitism'. For example, here's AOC - a vocal critic of Israel, slamming Hamas supporters protesting in a Jewish neighborhood as a "disgusting and antisemitic thing to do ." Hey so marching into a predominantly Jewish neighborhood and leading with a chant saying “we support Hamas” is a disgusting and antisemitic thing to do. Pretty basic! https://t.co/Zx4wJPCPfP — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) January 10, 2026 Other notables include NY AG Letitia James, NY Gov. Kathy Hochul, NY Mayor Zohran Mamdani , Illinois Gov.

" Guys, something is happening ," X user Clandestine wrote in a post, accompanied by screenshots of some of the highest-ranking Democratic lawmakers from the land making the pivot from pro-Islam to pro-Judaism and anti-Hamas. As Clandestine noted, " They are getting in front of something ." "All the pro-Islam Democrats are all the sudden, in unison, posting pro-Judaism and anti-Hamas posts, after their followers have been screaming "free Palestine" all day every day for years ," they continued. Guys, something is happening.

Federal prosecutors have opened a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over the central bank’s renovation of its Washington, DC, headquarters, the New York Times reported , citing officials briefed on the situation. The US attorney’s office in the District of Columbia is investigating whether Powell lied to Congress about the scope of the renovations, the paper said, adding that Jeanine Pirro — who was appointed to run the office last year by President Donald Trump — approved the inquiry in November. Prosecutors have contacted Powell’s staff to seek documents but it was not yet clear whether a grand jury was convened or subpoenas have been formally issued, the report said. The White House didn’t immediately respond to a request from Bloomberg News for comment. Trump has repeatedly called for Powell to resign and has complained about the renovation project. The complaints rose in July when Russell Vought , director of the White House Office of Management and Budget, wrote to Powell saying that the president was “extremely troubled” by his management of the Federal Reserve System and the building of “an ostentatious overhaul of your Washington D.C. headquarters.” The estimated cost for the Fed renovation of the two historic buildings in Washington have increased to $2.5 billion this year, compared with the initial estimate of $1.9 billion in 2023, per budget documents . The project’s “construction cost estimates have continued to increase, particularly within the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing trades, due to competitive bid pricing,” the Fed’s 2025 budget said. Trump said he has already picked his nominee to replace Powell, whose term as chair ends in May 2026. He has not named the successor, but Kevin Hassett , the director of the National Economic Council, is a front-runner.
