CNN’s Senior Data Reporter, Harry Enten, shared that Americans are overwhelmingly in support of requiring voter ID.

During his discussion, Enten referenced an X post Nicki Minaj posted on Sunday which stated, ” What sensible forward thinking cutting edge leading nation is having a DEBATE on whether or not there should be VOTER ID?!?!!!!

“Like?!?!? They’re actually fighting NOT to have ppl present ID while voting for your leaders!!!!! Do you get it?!?!!!! Do you get it now?!?!!!”

Enten shared that, despite what Democrats keep saying, 83% of Americans are in favor of it.

John Berman: So voter ID, just so people understand, is the idea that someone shows a photo ID when they go to vote, when they go to cast their actual ballot, because there’s a separate discussion right now about needing a passport or a birth certificate to register to vote. But the polling is all on voter ID showing an ID to vote.

Harry Enten: Showing a photo ID to vote. And the American people are with Nicki Minaj because what are we talking about here? So take a look here. Favor Voter ID to vote. Look, I got all this polling on the screen going back since 2018. You’ll notice on all of it, it’s all north of 75%, 76%, 76%, 76%, 81%, and then 83% in the last year of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj. They favor photo ID to be able to vote.

John Berman: What about by party?

Harry Enten:  Yeah, normally you might expect, Hey, there’d be a big divide by party with Republicans really for it and Democrats really against it, but not really here.

I mean, just take a look here. Favor photo ID to vote. You got 95% of Republicans, pretty much all of them, but even 71% of Democrats favor photo ID to vote.

So again, Nicki Minaj posting that on X.And what you see is that the American people, actually, it’s not really all that controversial. The American people are with Nicki Minaj, whether they are Republican or even if they are Democrats, we’re talking about seven in 10 Democrats agreeing with Nicki Minaj that you, in fact, should show a voter photo ID to vote.

John Berman: What’s the racial breakdown?

Harry Enten: Okay, what’s the racial breakdown on this? Because I think a lot of people make the argument that people of non-white Americans have a harder time procuring a photo ID to vote.

But even here, take a look here. Favor photo ID to vote. 85% of White people favor it, 82% of Latino, 76% of Black Americans favor it. So the bottom line is this. Voter ID is not controversial in this country.

A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country.

It is not controversial by party, and it is not controversial by race. The vast majority of Americans agree with Nicki Minaj that, in fact, you should have a photo ID to be able to vote.

John Berman: So something of a non-troversy, in other words.

Harry Enten: Very good. The alliteration of Mr. John Berman, that Harvard education paying off once again.

Watch:

Americans agree with Nicki Minaj when it comes to voter id.

83% of favor photo voter id to vote per Pew. This includes 70%+ of Democrats and Republicans, as well as 75%+ of Americans across races…. White, Black, and Latino.

Joe Abraham’s 20-year-old daughter, Katie, was killed by an illegal immigrant from Guatemala. The illegal, who is suspected of drunk driving, struck Katie at high speed while she was stopped at a red light.

The White House shared a video of Joe rebuking anti-ICE activists and Democrats for protecting illegals over the safety of Americans like his daughter, noting, “THIS IS OUR WHY.”

Joe told Fox News, “The person that killed Katie, Julio Cucul-Bol, who was using an alias, who couldn’t read or write English or Spanish, he was using a Kai Qi language, barreled into them at 80 miles an hour.”

“Katie died on the scene. He fled the scene.”

“So you hear a lot of this like, ‘Oh, you’re separating families and you’re disappearing people.'”

“Well, I was separated. Katie has been disappeared. Why is there no consideration on that for Katie?”

“When am I going to get a phone call to say, ‘Let’s go to Springfield and protest Governor Pritzker’s radical policies?'”

“He nullifies federal law. He tells Congress that immigration is their purview. He nullifies it, basically comes up with his own immigration plan, which is nothing. Clearly, it was nothing. He allows hundreds of thousands in.”

“Katie wasn’t the only victim, and he’s got nothing but silence for us.”

“Unfortunately, Renee Good in Minnesota, two seconds in, he’s in front of the mic. I don’t understand the one-sided compassion.

“Apparently, Katie does not qualify for any compassion from our governor, J. B. Pritzker.”

The lovefest honeymoon for radical socialist NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani appears to already be over after just a month in office.

As New York tries to recover from a record storm, the streets are still a mess a week later, and celebrities in the city are taking to social media to blast the mayor.

Actor Michael Rapaport took to Instagram and shared a video of the still towering mounds of dirty snow.

” A week after the snowstorm and this is what we got Zoron the Shoveler! Filthy black snow, garbage soup, ice rinks on every corner, cars buried like fossils.”

“People slipping, breaking ankles, nobody shoveling, nobody salting, nobody doing SH*T.”

“This is New York City. Three minutes from the mayor’s house.”

“Start spreading the news… this place is a dirty snow covered dump.”

“Clean it the f*** up Mayor!”

Even actress Debra Messing, who has made no secret of her far-left views, slammed the city’s failure under Mamdani’s leadership.

“Sitting in a taxi trying to get to an appointment,” she shared on X. “Should take 20 minutes, we are at an hour and ten minutes and counting. The streets are a disaster. It hasn’t snowed in 5 days and the streets still haven’t been cleared. Poor ambulance sitting in aessentially a parking lot with sirens going. I’m praying for the person needing emergency care.”

“I’ve lived here for 15 years (this go around) and this has never happened. The plows have always worked around the clock to get the city back to working.”

“I wonder what happened?”

“Hang in there New Yorkers.”

If Mamdani thinks the failure to plow the city is a minor blip that will be forgotten, he might want to take a look at what happened to former Chicago Mayor Michael Bilandic. His failure to lead during the blizzard of ’79 cost him the election.

Primary challenger Jane Byrne capitalized on his failure to address the anger and, after winning the primary, she replaced Bilandic as mayor.

“Bilandic’s blizzard” is a cautionary tale in Chicago politics, and subsequent mayors since have treated snow removal as a high-stakes priority to avoid a similar fate.

Mamdani also faced criticism over the weekend for his slow pace in fulfilling his campaign promises. Protestors swarmed outside Gracie Mansion, the official mayoral residence in Carl Schurz Park, and shared their disappointment.

Protesters shouted through a megaphone, “We was with you, Zohran! We voted for you, Zohran! We advocated for you, Zohran!” He continued, “You ain’t did nothing but get up in there and lie to us! You lied, Zohran! Shame, Zohran!”

As the radical rhetoric by sanctuary politicians like Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) has led to an unprecedented 1,300% increase in assaults against ICE officers and a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks, Schiff is on the hot seat after deceptively editing a Department of Homeland Security X post.

The original DHS post shared, “Want affordable housing? Help report illegal aliens in your area. Call 866-DHS-2-ICE.”

“If you are an illegal alien, you can take control of your departure using http://DHS.GOV/CBPHOME.”

Schiff shared the post, but deceptively edited it while, ironically, referencing Nazi propaganda, while doing a full Goebbels impression.

In his post, Schiff shared, “‘Turn in your neighbors, and life will be better for you.'”

“Logic circa 1930s Germany, now DHS policy.”

During the first year of the Trump administration, from January 20 – December 31, 2025, DHS officials reported 275 assaults as compared to the 19 reported assaults during the same period in 2024. This is a horrific 1,347% increase in assaults against ICE officers.

From January 21, 2025 – January 7, 2026, ICE law enforcement officers experienced 66 vehicular attacks against them, compared to only 2 during the same time period the previous year. This is a 3,200% increase in vehicular attacks.

DHS shared some of the more disturbing examples of political rhetoric as well as photos of the resulting attacks against ICE agents.

Comedian Ricky Gervais, who has hosted the Golden Globes multiple times, slammed Sunday’s Grammy winners for their overly political speeches, noting they’re “still not listening.”

Gervais posted an image of a quote from his most recent hosting gig in 2020, when he roasted woke-Hollywood.

“If you do win an award tonight, don’t use it as a platform to make a political speech,” Gervais said at the time.”You’re in no position to lecture the public about anything.

“You know nothing about the real world. Most of you spent less time in school than Greta Thunberg.”

He added to his prior remarks, noting,  “They’re still not listening.”

During the Grammys, winners took the time to virtue-signal their wokeness.

Singer Kehlani, who won a Grammy for Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance for her hit song ‘Folded,’ said, “I hope everybody’s inspired to join together as a community of artists and speak out against what’s going on.”

She added, “I’m gonna leave this and say, F*ck ICE!” as the audience full of leftists cheered.

Billie Eilish, who won for “Song of the Year,” said during her speech, “No one is illegal on stolen land.”

“We need to keep fighting and speaking up,” she added. “Our voices do matter.”

Before concluding with, “F**k ICE.”

Puerto Rican musician Bad Bunny declared, “ICE Out,” while accepting the Album of the Year Grammy award for Debí Tirar Más Fotos.

This reportedly marked the first time a Spanish-language album has won Album of the Year, which should come as no surprise, as Hollywood and the left try to force Americans to accept the replacement of our American demographics and culture.

And when he took the stage to give his acceptance speech, he snubbed the official language of the United States, delivering a speech in only Spanish.

Trevor Noah, who hosted this year’s Grammys, targeted Nicki Minaj for her support of President Trump during his opening remarks.

Noah took a swipe at the iconic rapper, saying that Minaj was absent because she was “still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues.”

“Nicki Minaj is not here. She is not here,” Noah said.

Fox Varian, a young woman who identified as a boy in her teens,  was only a minor when she said doctors in New York convinced her to undergo a double mastectomy as part of her ‘transition.’ Varian filed a lawsuit against the doctors.

In a landmark decision, The New York Post reports Varian was awarded $1.6 million for past and future pain and suffering, and an additional $400,000 for future medical expenses “in the first detransitioner malpractice lawsuit in the nation to go to trial and win.”

Per The Post:

Psychologist Kenneth Einhorn and surgeon Simon Chin were held responsible in Westchester County Supreme Court in White Plains for ignoring standards of care and procedural guardrails by pressuring the minor into addressing gender dysphoria with permanent surgery, the jury decided.

Lawyers for Varian pointed the finger at Einhorn, saying he “drove the train” and was “putting the idea in Fox’s head” that she needed to change her gender with surgery, according to the report.

Varian’s mother, Claire Deacon, testified that she was against the surgery, but consented to it out of fear her daughter would commit suicide, according to the outlet.

The Epoch Times reports:

Varian’s attorneys have suggested that she actually had body dysmorphia, an irrational obsession with a flaw or part of one’s anatomy. They allege that the health care professionals did not give enough consideration to her host of other problems: depression, autism, social phobia, anxiety, and anorexia.

Deacon said she was never fully on board with the procedure and initially told Einhorn that “it was never gonna happen” if she had any say in the matter. This led to many “heated discussions” with the psychologist.

“This man was just so emphatic, and pushing and pushing, that I felt like there was no good decision,” she said.

Chloe Cole, who de-transitioned in 2021 after about five years of “gender affirming care” celebrated the news.

Varian V Einhorn is the first detransitioner lawsuit to reach a verdict, and Fox Varian was awarded $2M

Even better is that this was in New York!

In July of 2023, Chloe Cole spent her 19th birthday before the U.S. House of Representatives, reliving her horrifying, life-altering experience with “gender-affirming” care.

Cole pleaded with House lawmakers during a hearing on gender-affirming care for minors to put an end to child sex changes and shared the heartbreaking details of how her parents were manipulated by a sinister “gender specialist” into having her mutilated.

There are currently approximately 28 detransitioner lawsuits in different stages of legal proceedings across the country.

Soren Aldaco was only 17 years old when she went on transgender hormones, and by the time she was 19, she had a body-altering double mastectomy.

Aldaco, who is now a 22-year-old student at the University of Texas at Austin, is suing the medical providers who allegedly enabled the body mutilations she now regrets.

In 2023, a  25-year-old North Carolina woman filed a lawsuit against doctors who aided her sex change when she was only 15 years old.

Detransitioner Prisha Mosley told Charlie Kirk, “I was promised male puberty, and instead I got menopause.”

Mosley was left with a disfigured body, deepened voice, joint pain, bone pain, and facial hair, to name just a few irreversible side effects.

When Cristina Hineman was only 18 years old, she visited a Planned Parenthood in Hudson, New York, to seek options for hormone therapy to address her ‘gender dysphoria.’

Instead, according to her lawsuit, she was given life-altering testosterone following a brief 30-minute evaluation with a nurse practitioner despite facing mental health issues including self-harm, depression, anxiety, and autism.

On Sunday, Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) joined Jacqui Heinrich on Fox News to discuss who is really controlling the Democrat party and shaping policy decisions.

Kennedy argues that moderate Democrats are no longer in charge but are being controlled by the radical “Karen” wing of the party.

The Gateway Pundit reported that in January, the House of Representatives voted 220-207 to pass a Department of Homeland funding bill, which funds the TSA and ICE.

Fox News reported that the seven Democrats who voted with Republicans did so “despite opposition from their own leadership over unmet demands for additional guardrails on Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations.”

The DHS bill will be bundled alongside three other spending bills, totaling a combined $1.2 trillion in federal spending. The entire package’s passing is a significant step toward averting a government shutdown come Jan. 30.

Lawmakers in the House of Representatives voted on two separate packages on Thursday afternoon. One groups together three spending bills to fund the departments of War, Education, Labor, Transportation and Health and Human Services. The second is a standalone bill funding DHS, which includes ICE.

Jacqui Heinrich asked Kennedy about Democrats who opposed leadership, including Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-NY), after sharing a clip of Suozzi being heckled at a town hall by an anti-ICE activist.

“So, Tom Suozzi was one of seven Democrats who voted with Republicans, and that’s the reception he’s getting at home. What does that tell you?” Heinrich asked.

Senator Kennedy replied, “It tells me that the Karen wing, the Loon wing, Bolshevik wing, whatever you want to call it, Jackie, is firmly in control of the Democratic Party.”

“And whether we ever pass a bill, a budget for the Department of Homeland Security will require our Democratic leadership to embrace adulthood, because that’s what this discussion is all about.”

“It’s not, as it should be, a discussion of the efficient use of taxpayer money and funding ICE and DHS. It’s just the Karen wing of the Democratic Party wants to defund ICE.”

“They believe in open borders.”

“They also wanted to defund the cops, defund police.”

“We know how that vampire movie turned out. Now they’ve moved on to defunding ICE, and the Democrats, the leadership anyway, not people like John Fetterman, but the Democrats are scared of them.”

Watch:

Senator Kennedy also took a moment to praise Senator John Fetterman (D-PA).

The mother of a Washington State middle schooler has gone viral for a video showing her pulling her daughter from the school following an anti-ICE walkout.

The video shows the mother walking into the school as students stream out and gather on the front lawn.

“This is my daughter’s middle school being allowed to protest ICE agents. Disrupting traffic. Having everyone honk.”

“I’m pulling my daughter from school today.”

Once inside the building, she told the school administrators that she wanted to immediately withdraw her child, saying, “I am here to pull my child from the school right now.”

The flustered staff asked, “You want to withdraw her?”

“Yes,” she replied firmly.

While the school staff attempted to justify what was going on, the mother wasn’t having it, noting that the protest was disrupting her daughter’s education.

“This is unbelievable. I can’t believe my kid is in this environment right now. I’m blown away.”

“Can she be brought down to the office right now, please?” she continued.

A staff member replied, “We have everybody out there right now, we’ll get her for you.”

As the mom continues to express her dismay at the political activism forced on her child, another staff member attempts to justify the activity and says they can “explain” to her what they are doing.

Before they are able to launch into their justification, she reiterates her concern, “This is disrupting traffic and my child’s education.”

As they continued to justify the walkout, she asked, “What about my family?”  She did not receive an answer.

She then expressed frustration at students who booed her as she walked toward the building, presumably because she did not honk her support.

Following the violence by anti-ICE agitators across the country, and the school’s very clear support of leftist activism, she requested an escort for her and her daughter because she was fearful for their safety.

“I’m telling you right now, this is going to be a huge problem, guys,” she warned. “I cannot believe my child is in this environment right now.”

” I am ashamed and embarrassed  as a parent and as an adult.”

“I thought my kid was safe here.”

Former top Biden aide Andrew Bates performed an embarrassing self-own on social media.

Amidst the increased scrutiny of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minnesota, Bates attempted to draw sympathy by referencing the death of 8-year-old Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, who died in Border Patrol custody in an X post. The child suffered from sickle cell anemia and a heart condition.

The problem? Alvarez died in 2023 while Bates’ boss Joe Biden was in the White House.

Bates was responding to a post from Senate Judiciary Democrats which stated, “Anadith Danay Reyes Álvarez died in government
custody. She had sickle cell and congenital heart disease but couldn’t access timely and adequate medical care.”

“We need to reform immigration detention.”

Bates shared their post and commented, “Not about Democrat or Republican/left or right.”

“Just absolutely wrong.”

Following his post, Bates was on the receiving end of brutal reminders of who was in charge when the child died and the original post received a community note citing coverage of the story in 2023.

President Trump’s campaign communications director in 2020, Tim Murtaugh, slammed Bates.

“What’s remarkable, Andrew, is the level of pride you must have felt when posting this, completely unaware that it had happened while you worked in the White House yourself,’ Murtaugh wrote.

“Just remarkable. Top notch work from beginning to end.”
