The National Republican Congressional Committee mocked the establishment wing of the Democratic Party after the far-left socialist victories in New York City elections.

Three socialist candidates backed by Democratic New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani crushed their centrist opposition and tipped the scales in the party toward more extremism.

‘How can he defend against the Marxist march around the country and these other districts?’

The NRCC sent flowers and a card expressing condolences to the Washington, D.C., office of House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.).

“Three losses in one night is tough. We wanted so-called ‘Leader’ Jeffries to know our thoughts are with him, his candidates, and whatever remains of his influence in the Democrat Party,” said NRCC spokesman Mike Marinella in a statement to Fox News.

The card read “With heartfelt sympathy,” according to a photo posted by Bill Melugin of Fox.

Jeffries’ Republican counterpart, Speaker Mike Johnson of Louisiana, reiterated how bad the losses were in a media briefing where he pointed out that many Democrat voters booed Jeffries and chanted that he was next.

“These are socialists. These are Marxists in their ideology,” said Johnson.

“Hakeem Jeffries has a tall task ahead of him right now, he’s gotta go out and somehow make a credible pitch to Democrat establishment donors that that’s a good national investment right now, that’s a tough one to make,” he added.

“He has just proven that he cannot even hold the line in his own back yard,” Johnson said. “How can he possibly defend against the Marxist march around the country and these other districts? This is not your father’s Democratic Party, as we see all the time.”

“The Democrat Party — the socialists, the Marxists — have nominated some of the most radical candidates to ever run for office, and they’re running for Congress. The insurgent left is on the rise.”

Others, like Hunter Biden, say the results of the elections show that Democrats need to veer to the far left and be far more socialist and far more extremist.

“The lesson under the lessons: the country is tired of being managed. People want to be led,” Biden said.

President Donald Trump, on the other hand, replied: “America the Beautiful will NEVER be a communist Country!”

Memphis Police on Tuesday afternoon responded to the 6600 block of West Quailbrook Cove at the GreenBrook Apartments after a break-in and shooting, WHBQ-TV reported.

The homeowner told police he arrived at his residence just before 3:15 p.m. and saw a masked man trying to take his television from a wall, the station added.

‘This is the direct result of what happens when the system to protect people fails completely. People take care of themselves. We’ve entered this phase.’

Police said the homeowner indicated the suspect then turned around toward him and reached into a bag, WHBQ added.

The homeowner told officers that with that, he pulled out a gun and shot the suspect twice, the station said.

In addition, the homeowner said the suspect ran from the apartment and headed west toward GreenBrook Bend, WHBQ reported.

The homeowner added to police that he fired two more shots as the suspect ran away, the station said, adding that the homeowner said the suspect fell, dropped the bag, got back up, and continued running off.

WHBQ said that when officers tried to make contact with the suspect, police said he fled on foot in the apartment complex.

Police told the station that officers conducted an extensive search and found a man injured in the 6400 block of Macon Road.

WHBQ added that the injured male was taken to the hospital in critical condition.

What’s more, the station said police released to the homeowner’s wife a white PlayStation 5, pink and white Jordan 1 sneakers, black and pink Jordan 1 sneakers, all-black Nike Air Max 97 sneakers, white Air Force sneakers, a black Roku controller, and a purple PlayStation controller.

WHBQ reported that the homeowner’s wife said all items belonged to the couple.

Individuals commenting underneath the station’s Facebook post about the incident seemed squarely behind the homeowner who fought back:

“Awesome job, homeowner,” one commenter wrote. “Don’t commit burglary; won’t get shot.””Good!” another user exclaimed. “More people need to fight back and make Memphis great again!””U got shot for a PS5 and some shoes,” another commenter lamented.”The thief got straight to FO part of FAFO,” another user quipped.”315 in the afternoon. That is hella bold,” another commenter observed.”This is the direct result of what happens when the system to protect people fails completely,” another user stated. “People take care of themselves. We’ve entered this phase.”

Democrats are grasping at straws after the president gave Congress an ultimatum on the housing affordability bill passed overwhelmingly on Tuesday.

The 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act is intended to increase access to financing and grants in order to provide more housing units in hopes of lowering housing costs.

‘He probably spent hours laughing to himself thinking that peddling this lie would be funny.’

Just hours before President Donald Trump was scheduled to sign the bill into law, he canceled the event and told Congress he would hold the bill hostage until lawmakers passed the SAVE Act.

“Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” the president wrote on social media.

Republicans have been pushing the SAVE Act to require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, but Democrats have vehemently opposed the legislation on the basis that it might disenfranchise some legal voters.

The development appeared to catch everyone off guard as they scrambled to respond, but Democrat Rep. Ted Lieu of California stole the top prize for most bizarre reply.

“We have a bipartisan housing bill that both the Congress and Senate passed. There was supposed to be a big signing ceremony today in the Capitol, and then all of a sudden Donald Trump decides he’s not coming to sign the bill,” said Lieu to reporters at a media briefing.

“Well, why is that? Did he wake up on the wrong side of the bed? Is he unable to stay awake today? What’s causing him to chicken out again? Is it taco Wednesday? Or is it side effects from a drug? We don’t know,” he continued.

“This erratic behavior of the president is very concerning. He’s having trouble staying awake at many White House events and Cabinet meetings. He has clearly some weakness in one of his arms. He’s got swelling in his hands, and the White House needs to come clean,” Lieu said.

He cited a report that a high-profile 79-year-old person in the U.S. was able to obtain a special drug under the compassionate use provision usually reserved for terminal cases.

“We need to know: Did Donald Trump get this special drug from Eli Lilly?” he added. “And if he did, why is that the case?”

Assistant to the president and White House Director of Communications Steven Cheung fired off an insulting response to Lieu.

“Ted Lewd is a dumbass,” he wrote on social media. “He probably spent hours laughing to himself thinking that peddling this lie would be funny. Sadly for Ted, there’s no special new drug to cure being a b***h.”

Lieu fired back at Cheung on social media, where he thanked him for “amplifying” the Democrat’s remarks.

“I see you didn’t answer the question I asked,” said Lieu. “Was trump [sic] the mystery patient who received the special experimental drug by Eli Lilly under the law designed for people with terminal illnesses?”

The White House has denied the allegation that the president received the weight-loss drug under the special accommodation.

The fate of the housing bill remains uncertain.

An AI model has reportedly exposed vulnerabilities in secure government systems as concerns over cybersecurity rage through top companies and government leadership alike.

The Associated Press reported that Mythos, an advanced Anthropic AI model, identified weaknesses in “sensitive and secure U.S. government computer systems during a testing exercise,” citing a U.S. official.

‘This tool broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks but in hours.’

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, reportedly told the AP that the testing was conducted as a part of Project Glasswing, though the identification of the vulnerabilities does not mean that they were exploited.

Project Glasswing, which was announced on April 7, was described at the time as “an urgent attempt to put [the capabilities of frontier model Mythos Preview] to work for defensive purposes.”

The project announcement noted that Anthropic would be partnering with several industry giants to identify the vulnerabilities on their platforms, with Anthropic even pledging “up to $100M in usage credits for Mythos Preview across these efforts, as well as $4M in direct donations to open-source security organizations.”

The companies listed include Amazon Web Services, Anthropic, Apple, Broadcom, Cisco, CrowdStrike, Google, JPMorganChase, the Linux Foundation, Microsoft, Nvidia, and Palo Alto Networks.

These defensive measures, including the testing performed by Mythos, was alluded to by Sen. Mark Warner (D-Va.) during a June 11 Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs hearing.

Mentioning Mythos and Anthropic by name, Warner said, “This tool broke into almost all of our classified systems, not in weeks but in hours.” Warner attributed this information to the head of the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command, General Joshua Rudd.

The government limited access to Anthropic’s latest models for foreign nationals just days after President Trump signed an executive order establishing a national security framework for AI, cybersecurity, and the regulation and classification of “frontier models.” That directive resulted in the company disabling the model temporarily.

Blaze News reached out to the office of the National Cyber Director and Anthropic but did not immediately receive a response.
