Donald Trump has withdrawn his support for Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene after she called for the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, a disgraced financier accused of running a sex trafficking ring. Trump labeled Greene 'Wacky Marjorie' and announced he would support a challenger against her in the next midterm elections. Greene responded by accusing Trump of trying to silence her and intimidating her, claiming that his actions were fueling threats against her.

The article criticizes New York Governor Kathy Hochul for flip-flopping on her stance regarding tax hikes to accommodate the agenda of Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Initially, Hochul opposed raising taxes on NY corporations and wealthy residents, citing concerns about affordability and population out-migration. However, after Mamdani's election, Hochul suddenly became open to tax hikes, sparking accusations of political opportunism. The author argues that Hochul's reversal is a betrayal of her previous promises and will likely backfire in her re-election campaign. The article also highlights Hochul's history of making pledges and then reversing them, citing examples such as pausing and then implementing Manhattan congestion pricing and banning gas stove hookups in new homes.
