A Free Press reporter asks New Yorkers if socialism is good for America.
They all say yes.
Then she brings out Daniel Di Martino, who fled Venezuela, and they get a firsthand horror story they weren’t ready for.
NEW YORKER: “I think socialism is actually really good for society.”
DI MARTINO: “Are you familiar with how socialism worked out in other countries historically?”
NEW YORKER: “Just because it didn’t work out so well in other parts of the world doesn’t mean it won’t work out well for New York.”
Di Martino’s family lived through the promises these voters are buying.
DI MARTINO: “My family went from making $2,000 a month 20 years ago to $100 a month in 2016. That was because the government gave everything you can imagine for free.”
“We went from being a normal middle-class family with a car and then no electricity, no water.”
Asked if they support “government grocery stores,” the answer is just as confident.
NEW YORKER: “Of course I do.”
So Di Martino explains what grocery shopping looked like under socialism.
DI MARTINO: “There was very little supply of chicken, toilet paper. It was a line for blocks and blocks for a grocery store.”
NEW YORKER: “What happened in Venezuela isn’t going to happen here. The policy is more focused on helping people out.”
A man describes lines stretching for blocks just to buy chicken and toilet paper, and a Mamdani voter waves it away. Because THIS time, they’re sure it will work.
REPORTER: “You know, they have tried that in the Soviet Union from where my parents and my grandparents are from. All they remember of grocery stores is empty shelves.”
DI MARTINO: “The DSA went to Venezuela just last year to support the dictator and say that he won the election that he didn’t.”
NEW YORKER: “I had no idea. I did not know.”
DI MARTINO: “Government rent control. It’s going to stop people from renting apartments because they’re not going to be able to profit. There are going to be fewer apartments for rent.”
NEW YORKER: “That’s a good point. I agree with that. Okay. I understand more about socialism now for sure.”
Socialism always sounds good to people who’ve never had to live under it.
Those who have never want to live under it again.

💰 FOLLOW THE MONEY. 🤯 WATCH THE MELTDOWN.
$285 MILLION from a Shanghai-based communist tycoon.
That’s what funded the network whose activists spent this week on Capitol Hill bird-dogging lawmakers.
When I turned the cameras on them, they had a meltdown.
Their operation illustrates cognitive warfare against American: the systematic use of money, media, protests, political pressure and propaganda to shape what Americans believe and feel.
Earlier this year, I added up the numbers for a five-part @FoxNews Digital series: Neville Roy Singham, an American-born communist tech tycoon living in Shanghai, moved $285 million into a network of U.S. nonprofits that organize street actions, produce propaganda and lobby Congress — all while operating as tax-exempt charities.
The result is a decade-long campaign of anti-American messaging that aligns with Chinese Communist Party priorities.
On Wednesday, I spent six hours following the Singham network’s activists as they cornered members of Congress and demanded cuts to the U.S. military budget, an end to U.S. military ties with Israel and support for communist regimes from Cuba to China.
This tactic is called “bird-dogging.” Watch their confrontations—and their efforts to obstruct my reporting—in the 🧵
I saw some of the network's msot promient organizers: CodePink co-founders Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans, who married Singham in 2017; CodePink D.C. organizer Olivia DiNucci; CodePink activist Tighe Barry, Benjamin’s husband; and BreakThrough News host Rania Khalek, who says she lives in Lebanon.
The money that reached their groups:
💰 People’s Forum: $22.44M
đź’° CodePink: $1.33M
đź’° BreakThrough BT Media: $1.098M
All from Singham.
This week, activists from these groups sought to influence specific legislation. Their funding matters because it helps sustain the organizing and media operations behind that political pressure.
Three House committees — China Select, Judiciary, and Ways and Means — have investigated the network for allegedly operating as unregistered foreign influence that defends the Chinese Communist Party, Hamas, Iran, Hezbollah and communist regimes worldwide. They deny the allegations.
CodePink’s Benjamin and Evans just returned from a propaganda junket to China. Rania had a long record of defending Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad. The People’s Forum has been a central hub for the anti-Israel, anti-U.S. protest wave, especially the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks by Hamas on Israel.
When I turned the camera on them and asked about ordinary questions about their funding and tactics, they blocked the lens, hurled insults, and tried to block my path through the public hallways of the People's House, as it's called.
Rania had a Party for Socialism and Liberation activist film her confrontation as she lashed out at my questions. BreakThrough News later posted the clip, trying to shame me.
In cognitive warfare, that tactic works if you aren't strong. I am very strong against such tactics because I have seen them deployed for so many decades now.
One follower praised her “psychic militancy.”
I've seen it 1,000x as I cover protests. Shouts by anti-ICE protesters to hardworking Americans, telling them: "Go kill yourself," because they dare to work in immigration enforcement. Bloody cries of destroying Israel "from the river to the sea." Condemnations of America as "AMERIKKKA."
It's all meant to shame, silence and overwhelm the brain so that any level of nonsense can enter.
Watch how the shouting and accusations overwhelm the exchange, pushing the original questions aside. As my @FoxNews Digital colleague @HannahBrennan99 brilliantly edited my footage, she had one word: WOW.
The audience for these confrontations extends far beyond a lawmaker or a journalist in a hallway. These displays of rage are meant for an audience captured with a camera. Once posted online, they become messages aimed at the world.
But what I learned: They can dish it out. They just can’t take it.
Follow the money. Watch the meltdown.
And thank you to all of you for your appreciation and support as I go into the trenches to bring dispatches like this one back to you for Fox News Digital.
I do it because you have to see and feel the weapons of propaganda, intimidation and abuse hurled at someone to ever win the cognitive war and build an iron dome for your brain.
I want to show you that you can face the cognitive war and win with truth, rational thought and clear thinking.

China planting a spy to have an affair with the Nvidia CEO and China-tied groups using far-left activists to scare communities into blocking data-center development are not unrelated.
It’s the same story: China is fighting for the future, and it doesn’t plan to fight fairly.

A Tucson man YouTuber, Lane Myers, is serving three years in prison. Now prosecutors want him released after emails used in his sentencing were traced to the home of the woman he pleaded guilty to stalking - and her husband, a city prosecutor.
Lane Myers pleaded guilty to stalking and harassment charges in July 2025 and received probation with restrictions on posting about Shannon Walker and her family. In October 2026, a judge sentenced him to three years for violating probation.
Then came new evidence: investigators reportedly traced at least two harassing emails to an IP address associated with the Walkers’ home.
Her husband, Tucson prosecutor Matthew Walker, is now on paid administrative leave amid a misconduct investigation. Who actually sent the emails has not been established.
Prosecutors requested Myers’ release, but the judge said scheduling and transporting him from prison would delay an evidentiary hearing until November 17.
His convictions have not been overturned. But potentially exculpatory evidence has raised serious questions about his sentence—and why he remains behind bars while prosecutors themselves seek his release.

NYT reports on an additional wrinkle to the Nvidia spy scandal.
They found that several of the Chinese companies that the Commerce Department approved to buy H200 Nvidia chips don’t seem to exist or have direct ties to the Chinese military.

Want to see what happens when a possibly once “normal” human being gets radically indoctrinated by Marxism via public schools, colleges, and universities?
Josh Horgan, 25 New Hampshire, his green hair, a major red flag, gets into a MVA and all the police officer wants is an interview for his report…
That’s when Josh here goes utterly BALLISTIC thinking he can take a swing on a cop.
He unleashed a word-vomit session including of all sorts of liberal/Marxist/anti-police rhetoric.
The cop gets the best of him, or they/them…idk.

The claims of the ACA were:
1. Going to save families $2,500 a year
2. Going to lower the deficit
3. You could keep your doctor
The reality is:
1. 80% of doctors are employed
2. The costs of health insurance have exploded
3. The insurance companies are seeing record profits
4. One in five in-network claims are denied
5. One in three out-of-network claims are denied
We have to borrow money to subsidize the companies that are the problem.
Americans deserve better; eliminate the ACA!

🚨🚨 THE DEMOCRACY FILES / ILLEGITIMACY PLAYBOOK, PART 16: HOW THE MIDTERMS WERE PULLED OFF 🚨
Among today's talk of voter fraud, a critical role is overlooked: the importance of NGOs in early voting.
Below, I show the receipts where NGOs directly take a role in making the midterms happen.
It's been a long week, and I'm too tired to type up a summary.
Just know the two main points:
Republicans have an institutional blindness. They believe getting voters is all about branding and messaging. They pay enormous sums to consultants and TV ads and have endless conferences on what the right "message" is.
Democrats, meanwhile, have built an entire and expensive institutional machinery around getting people physically to the polls. And they were more motivated in 2026 than any other year.
I do NOT deny the existence of voter fraud. Saying the data doesn't show that others claim to show, is not equivalent to saying there is no fraud.
As I've said in several posts today, the election system in the United States is structurally set up such that citizenship verification is an honor system. The biggest swings in 2026 were among young people and Hispanics.
And 2026 was a concerted effort by NGOs like none other. Watch them in their own words how they pulled it off:

🚨 THE GREATEST THREAT TO ELECTION INTEGRITY ISN’T JUST FRAUD, IT’S THE PERMANENT, WELL-FUNDED PROGRESSIVE NGO GROUND MACHINE THAT PHYSICALLY TURNS OUT VOTERS WHILE REPUBLICANS RELY ON ADS, CONSULTANTS, AND TWEETS.
DataRepublican’s Democracy Files Part 16 (“How the Midterms Were Pulled Off”) shows NGOs bragging, in their own words, about the scale of field ops, registration, youth mobilization, and early voting work that made races “too big to rig.”
In Georgia, Melody Oliphant (Executive Director, Georgia Youth Justice Coalition / GYJC) claimed her group knocked more than 19,000 doors and made nearly 49,000 calls, and that this “absolutely made the difference in Georgia.” The flow chart is simple: DONOR → MVP → GYJC → DOORS. GYJC is a progressive youth organizing group (501(c)(4), Abrams-linked ecosystem) that has long done massive campus/door/phone GOTV and claims credit for youth turnout edges.
This is not one-off. It’s institutional, year-round paid and volunteer organizers, data-driven targeting of young/left-leaning voters, pledge cards, campus phone banks, and coordination across groups. Republicans have institutional blindness, endless conferences on “the message” while the other side builds the supply line that gets bodies to the polls. Citizenship verification remains largely an honor system, the biggest swings keep hitting among young voters and other high-intensity demos.
Republicans can counter this NOW:
Build and fund parallel ground operations (door-knocking, phone banking, registration, early-voting drives) instead of treating elections as ad contests.
Engage young conservatives on campuses and in communities with the same relational, consistent organizing (not just social media).
Support effective local and national GOTV groups that prioritize physical contact and voter turnout over pure messaging.
Demand GOP committees and PACs shift resources from consultants/TV to field infrastructure and data.
Watch, audit, and match the scale in real time, especially in swing areas like Georgia.
Watch the receipts: teapaw.org/DataRepublican/status/…
This machine is already running. Match the operational intensity or keep losing the ground 👇

It feels like removing a dagger from my leg.
Headache. Dysphoria. Flatness. Hearing phantom iPhone dings in my sleep.
Days 1-3 were more of a rush. I felt light and free.
On day 4, the withdrawals began. I've never had to kick something like this before.
Screens are a legit addiction.
I'm curious to see if the month 6 PET scan shows enhanced metabolism in regions that improve in drug addicts who quit like the thalamus, frontal cortex, and striatum (reward circuit).
There are no PET studies of people quitting screens, so Dr. Eber and I are breaking new ground.
Image attached is baseline PET (F18 tracer). That's one of a few scans I'm tracking.

Ron DeSantis explains why the GOP "screaming socialism" doesn't work anymore:
"Young people have a very positive view of socialism compared to capitalism. The question is, why is that? Some of it is the education in our universities. But I think a big part of that is, what they're comparing is not free enterprise versus socialism. What they're comparing is how government gets involved in business, and you have crony capitalism. The best kind of indirect supporters of socialism are some of these corporatist republicans who propagate these crony policies. The average person is seeing that and saying, 'Wait a minute, you're trying to bend the government to funnel benefits to this corporation or that industry. What about having a competitive market? ... Young people really aren't seeing that. They're seeing just a handful of companies that have an outsized influence on our economy and on our society"

“These Zionist establishments must go!”
Schlesinger’s is a Jewish deli in Philly owned by an American Jew. Activists still put it on a list of “Zionist establishments” that “must go,” with a bike rally on the eve of Kristallnacht.
They keep telling us “Zionist” doesn’t mean Jew. Then they make the list.
