The Supreme Court of the State of New York has ruled the vaccine mandate for New York City employees illegal. The court has ordered Mayor Eric Adams (D) to reinstate some 1,400 public employees that were fired for refusing to get vaccinated. The city must also issue back pay to the terminated workers — many of whom were police and firefighters. https://twitter.com/MarinaMedvin/status/1584930051166208000?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1584930051166208000%7Ctwgr%5E4ab2cc7c73073f02c87df4a7c1de96df0f068bd2%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fus%2Fnew-york-supreme-court-reinstates-all-employees-fired-being-unvaccinated-orders-backpay Despite its name, New York’s State Supreme Court is not the state’s highest court. The state’s highest court is called the Court of Appeals, which Mayor Adams and the other defendants may appeal to. Fox News further reports:…

Even as Republicans look poised to win congressional majorities, Rep. Liz Cheney, R-Wyo., is predicting the rise of a “new conservative party” should former President Donald Trump mount another run for the White House. Cheney recently lost her primary to represent Wyoming’s at-large congressional district to Trump-endorsed candidate Harriet Hageman, garnering less than 29% of the vote. The Washington Times has more on what many would argue is a quixotic plan: “I think that the party has either got to come back from where we are right now, which is a very dangerous and toxic place, or the party will splinter,…
A Republican canvasser for Sen. Marco Rubio’s reelection campaign was violently assaulted last night in the Miami suburb of Hialeah. The volunteer was knocking on doors as part of the senator’s get-out-the-vote effort. According to Rubio’s official Twitter account, he was wearing a Rubio campaign shirt and a DeSantis baseball hat when four hooligans told him he wasn’t welcome in the neighborhood. By the time they were finished, the young man suffered internal bleeding and a broken jaw. He was transported to the hospital in an ambulance and will need reconstructive facial surgery. https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/1584564895605198849?s=46&t=ni1M2Sy5RJkCS-yG579fjg Hialeah is a conservative enclave.

Days after losing his bid to stall his testimony in Georgia’s Fulton County probe into former President Donald Trump’s alleged interference in the 2020 presidential election in Georgia, Sen. Lindsey Graham has won an unexpected reprieve. The change comes as Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas moved to temporarily block a subpoena from an Atlanta grand jury seeking Graham’s testimony in an ongoing investigation over possible criminal activity attempting to overturn the 2020 election. https://twitter.com/scotusblog/status/1584584056792289280?s=46&t=ni1M2Sy5RJkCS-yG579fjg Graham is one of several Republicans, including the former president, accused of pressuring Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) to “find” thousands of votes to reverse…
Following Liz Truss’ dramatic resignation as prime minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, 42, has been chosen by fellow members of the governing Conservative Party to lead the U.K. in a time of profound economic crisis. Sunak is the first person of color to lead the country. His parents immigrated from India. Sunak will be the third prime minister this year.

A new poll shows Republican Congressman Lee Zeldin leading incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) — for the first time — in New York’s gubernatorial race. Hochul’s lead was widely believed to be insurmountable mere weeks ago. However, a stubborn crime wave, further evidence of quid pro quo corruption in state politics and building GOP momentum across the country has made the race more competitive. (RELATED: NY Gov. Hochul Hit With Another Scandal as Race Tightens) After multiple surveys showed Zeldin’s deficit within the margin of error, a poll released over the weekend by co/efficient showed the Long Island Republican leading…
The Jan. 6 Committee investigating the U.S. Capitol riot has issued a subpoena for former President Donald Trump to testify, likely setting up a historic court battle. The move by the select committee is the most aggressive against the former president yet, which predictably led to partisan cheerleading and condemnation on Twitter. https://twitter.com/RepKinzinger/status/1583518471685427200 https://twitter.com/ACTBrigitte/status/1583518992983293962 The New York Times reports: The subpoena drastically escalated the stakes of what was already the most consequential congressional investigation in decades. Coming weeks before the midterm elections, the subpoena threatened to thrust Mr. Trump and the Jan. 6 committee into a protracted legal battle that…
Kash Patel, former chief of staff to the Acting United States Secretary of Defense Christopher C. Miller in the waning days of the Trump administration and a top aide to the former president, was spotted outside a federal courthouse in Washington, D.C. Patel reportedly spent several hours in front of a grand jury as the Mar-a-Lago documents probe heats up. Prosecutors at the Department of Justice believe Trump may have violated the Espionage Act through the unauthorized transportation and storage of government records at his Florida estate after leaving office. Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs…
Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy triggered President Joe Biden when he asked the commander-in-chief what issue was more important for floundering Democrats: inflation or abortion? As HuffPost reports: “They’re all important,” Biden said. “And we oughta be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.” https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1582825426485149696 With that, the president buttoned his jacket, pumped a fist and walked out. This isn’t the first time Biden has snapped at Doocy. In January, Biden called Doocy a “stupid son of a b****” after he asked if inflation was a “political liability” for him.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) will not comply with the Biden administration’s demand that he remove shipping containers along the U.S.-Mexico border in the highly-trafficked Yuma sector. Ducey said that Arizona was forced to act after the White House failed to award a contract to fill existing gaps in the border wall. The wall of double-stacked shipping containers adorned with razor wire was placed on the border in August. The Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) wrote Ducey’s office last week, calling the barrier illegal. USBR said the land belongs to the Cocopah Indian Tribe’s West Reservation and interferes with the work…
