\"Adam<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a special kind of satisfaction in watching a political weasel finally face the fallout from years of deceit and abuse of power. For so long, Adam Schiff operated as if he were untouchable \u2014 spinning lies, smearing reputations, and destroying lives in the name of partisan gain. But the walls are closing in, and that smug sense of immunity is cracking.<\/p>\n

Now, Schiff finds himself trapped in the same web of manipulation and dishonesty he so gleefully wove for others. The man who once fancied himself a crusader for \u201ctruth\u201d is learning that accountability cuts both ways. It won\u2019t undo the damage he\u2019s done \u2014 not by a long shot \u2014 but seeing him sweat under the weight of his own corruption? That\u2019s a good start.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Schiff is finally getting a taste of what accountability feels like, and it\u2019s not going down easy. His long, smug reign of deceit and self-righteous bluster is coming apart, and it\u2019s happening in spectacular fashion.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Enter GOP Sen. Eric Schmitt of Missouri, who delivered a masterclass in dismantling Schiff\u2019s sanctimony during a recent Senate committee hearing \u2014 reportedly alongside Justice Department officials, possibly Pam Bondi or one of her representatives. It was a thing of beauty.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

True to form, Schiff kicked things off with his usual pompous lecture on the \u201cweaponization of government\u201d \u2014 a topic he knows better than anyone, having practically written the manual on it. But this time, he wasn\u2019t the inquisitor \u2014 he was the one getting flayed by facts. And watching it unfold was nothing short of glorious.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Schiff was reminded, despite his \u201cpardon\u201d from President Biden, by Schmidt, Missouri\u2019s former attorney general, that there is no statute of limitations on \u201cconspiracy\u201d:<\/span><\/p>\n

Glorious. Oh, and about that pardon\u2026well, it might not be valid after all, thanks to the House Oversight Committee, which has declared Biden\u2019s autopen pardons \u201cnull and void\u201d:<\/p>\n

New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani (D) announced Wednesday that former Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Chair Lina Khan will serve as one of the co-leads for his transition team.<\/p>\n

Khan, who headed the FTC under President Biden, will join three longtime New York City Hall veterans in steering Mamdani\u2019s transition efforts, according to a statement released by the mayor-elect\u2019s office,\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Yorkers sent a clear message this week that it\u2019s time to build a city that working people can actually afford. I\u2019m excited to help Zohran build a team that will usher in a new era for New York City and set a new model for Democratic governance,\u201d Khan said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur transition leaders will help build a City Hall committed to excellence, integrity and a hunger to solve old problems with new solutions. Together, we will show the nation how government can deliver when we put the people, not billionaires, first,\u201d Mamdani added in a statement.<\/p>\n

Khan was a central \u2014 and highly controversial \u2014 figure in former Biden\u2019s antitrust and consumer protection agenda. As head of the FTC, she launched sweeping crackdowns on corporate mergers and led efforts to target what the administration labeled \u201cunfair business practices,\u201d including so-called junk fees and mandatory arbitration clauses.<\/p>\n

Progressives hailed her as a hero for taking on corporate America, but her heavy-handed tactics \u2014 particularly against Big Tech \u2014 backfired politically. Biden\u2019s war on Silicon Valley helped drive a wave of influential tech leaders toward the political right, many of whom now see President Donald Trump\u2019s pro-business agenda as the only real counterbalance to the left\u2019s regulatory crusade.<\/p>\n

Before joining the Biden administration, Khan taught at Columbia Law School in New York and served as a legal adviser to former FTC Commissioner Rohit Chopra, sharpening the left-wing, anti-corporate philosophy that would later define her tenure at the agency.<\/p>\n

Regarding self-claimed socialist Mamdani\u2019s rise to lead the one American city that defined capitalism, Trump pointed to \u201cpollsters\u201d who say the government shutdown \u2014 combined with the fact that his name wasn\u2019t on Tuesday\u2019s ballot \u2014\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018TRUMP WASN\u2019T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT, according to Pollsters,\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

Republicans lost major races on Tuesday, though the vast majority of them were in deep blue states and districts.<\/p>\n

Mamdani defeated a rare bipartisan coalition that had rallied behind former Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who ran as an independent, in the mayor\u2019s race.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not expected to be a victory. I don\u2019t think it was good for Republicans. I\u2019m not sure it was good for anybody, but we had an interesting evening, and we learned a lot,\u201d Trump said at a Wednesday morning breakfast with GOP senators.<\/p>\n

In New Jersey, a race that many expected to be close turned into a decisive win for Democrat Mikie Sherrill, who defeated Republican Jack Ciattarelli by a double-digit margin \u2014 56.2% to 43.2% \u2014 with 95% of ballots counted as of Wednesday morning.<\/p>\n

In Virginia, Democrat Abigail Spanberger also scored a commanding victory, defeating Republican Winsome Earle-Sears by more than 15 points, 57.5% to 42.3%, with 96% of votes tallied.<\/p>\n

For comparison, former President Donald Trump lost both states in the previous year\u2019s election \u2014 by 5.7 points in Virginia and 5.9 points in New Jersey, the Washington Times reported.<\/p>\n

House Republicans are exploring legal and constitutional strategies to block Mamdani from being sworn into office, citing the Constitution\u2019s post\u2013Civil War \u201cinsurrection clause.\u201d<\/p>\n

The effort, first reported by the New York Post, is being led in part by the New York Young Republican Club, which argues that Mamdani\u2019s past statements calling to \u201cresist ICE\u201d and his ties to left-wing organizations could qualify as \u201cgiving aid or comfort to the enemies\u201d of the United States \u2014 language drawn directly from Section 3 of the 14th Amendment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
