Goodbye, Tabby Tuesday, who could hang a meme on you? …
Jay Jones just tried to kick a dog outside a polling place in Virginia.
In fairness, he may have confused it for a small child with Republican parents.pic.twitter.com/k4RMtL5Q9e

Ed: Who in the world IS this guy? How did he rise this high in politics? If there is any justice from today’s elections at all — and I’m skeptical — it will be that Jay Jones can’t get himself elected dogcatcher in the future. Literally.

Free Beacon: Virginia attorney general candidate Jay Jones (D.) launched a canvassing event Sunday alongside Swing Left, an activist group that has pushed bail funds that have freed violent criminals and has called for “divesting resources away from policing.”
“Great to stand alongside @swingleft and @yasminradjy at a canvass launch in Newport News,” Jones posted to X. “With just three days until the election, Virginians are ready to get out the vote and flip the AG’s office blue!” …
The organization launched a racial justice resource webpage, which remains live, that promotes the policy platform for the Movement for Black Lives, noting that it calls for reparations and “divesting resources away from policing.” Swing Left’s webpage also calls on users to “donate to a bail fund” to “help combat racial and economic disparities in the bail system and defend protesters’ freedom, regardless of their wealth.” It links to a website of Community Justice Exchange, a project of the George Soros-funded Tides Center, that lists bail funds by state.
Ed: As if we didn’t already have enough to disqualify Jones from office.

.@PressSec said the Foreign Terrorist Organization designation for Antifa is being worked on, but no official announcement yet.
The FTO designation was recommended last month during the White House roundtable about Antifa. pic.twitter.com/TqcclX5JoV

Ed: Not sure why this is being held up. Even the request took longer than it should have. The FBI doesn’t necessarily need this designation for criminal investigations, but it might for a counter-terror operation.

Olivia Reingold at the Free Press: If former governor Andrew Cuomo manages to reverse Mamdani’s surge in New York City, it will be an upset even more stunning than Mamdani’s victory in the Democratic primary. Barring that, the democratic socialist will have the entire party at his mercy. In some ways, he already does. Just look at former president Barack Obama, who called Mamdani on Saturday and offered to be his “sounding board.” The Mamdani fever is so strong that it even turned Schumer, the highest ranking Jewish elected official in U.S. history, silent—even though Mamdani will not answer with a simple yes or no whether he believes Israel has a right to exist, and has cozy relationships with anti-Israel radicals such as Siraj Wahhaj, a Brooklyn imam once on the New York Police Department’s terrorist watch list.
And this is just the beginning. The Free Press reviewed thousands of pages of internal Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) documents, which show that the organization’s leaders view Mamdani as a tool in their agenda to abolish prisons and borders, and ultimately end in what it calls the “barbaric order of capitalism.” The DSA, founded in 1982, is a political body dedicated to the doctrine of democratic socialism, which is a variety of socialism that simply specifies how it would like revolution to occur: peacefully, through the subversion of democracy. Mamdani, a dues-paying DSA member since 2017, is the tip of that spear.
Ed: John Fetterman is in denial, unfortunately. Read all of Reingold’s essay to see where the Democrat Party is truly heading.

The militants—who had staged at a safe house the night before—arrived in body armor, carrying rifles. They detonated fireworks to lure officers out into the open, and then opened fire, and kept shooting until their guns jammed. One cop was hit in the neck and critically wounded. pic.twitter.com/X0xwHXGFvC

Ed: This is just one of many incidents that should have initiated a whole-of-government response against Antifa before now. Better late than never, but the ICE officer is lucky to be alive after this ambush. Let’s hope that the DoJ cracks open the RICO statutes and everyone involved spends a lot of time in federal prison.

ABC News: The FBI was first alerted to the men after a 2024 review of one of the unnamed co-conspirator’s phones. When that person returned to the United States, a Customs and Border Protection officer searched the phone and found “Google searches related to ‘ISIS’ and the ‘Islamic State,’ and pictures of what appear to be Co-conspirator 1 in military-style clothing with weapons,” documents said.
While the co-conspirator was traveling abroad, Ali and Mahmoud participated in a group call “discussed traveling overseas to join Co-conspirator 1 and then later traveling together to Syria to join ISIS,” the documents said.
That is when, according to the Justice Department, the men said they were going to stay in the U.S. to do the “same thing as France,” referencing the 2015 ISIS attack in Paris. Later in the conversation, the men allegedly referenced a potential attack at a club or disco, referencing the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting, which ISIS claimed responsibility for.
On Oct. 17, Ali allegedly told an unnamed individual, “We’ve got some new plan for real — for real,” and urged the person to “learn how to shoot,” according to the complaint. The next day, Ali allegedly said he would hold a meeting to discuss how to move ahead with the alleged plan.
Ed: Just a reminder that Antifa is not the only domestic-terror threat extant in the US at the moment. The Dearborn community appears to have a radicalization problem.

Islamist terrorists allegedly focused on LGBTQ targets. Take note, ‘Queers for Hamas,’ or whatever. https://t.co/va4tSLILGv

Ed: “Queers for Palestine,” actually, but there’s not much difference.

Just the News: Mamdani’s campaign swing on the final weekend before Tuesday’s election featured a host of speakers and guests from both inside and outside NYC, and his campaign thanked at least one group — the Muslim Democratic Club of New York (MDCNY) — which had been led by Sarsour and also previously featured Mamdani as part of the executive board.
A Just the News review previously found that Mamdani embraced a nearly decade-long association with high-profile anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian activist Linda Sarsour as he rose from an activist to New York State assemblyman and now the Democratic Party’s nominee to run America’s largest city.
Mamdani’s views on the Jewish state, law enforcement, and far-left policies have been closely aligned with Sarsour, whose views on Israel have stirred years of controversy and accusations of anti-Zionism.
Ed: It’s Election Day, so all of the masks are coming off now. It comes as absolutely no surprise that Mamdani and Sarsour are allies — at least to those of us outside of New York City. I guess we’ll see how many voters in the Big Apple are suddenly shocked, shocked to see radical Islamists running the city hit hardest by 9/11. Maybe Cuomo will win (I’m writing this earlier in the day), but it’s more likely that this crowd will be running the world’s biggest capital market. Or at least it is at the moment.

Cuomo: “The president does not support me, the president opposes Zohran Mamdani. The president believes Zohran Mamdani is a communist… an existential threat. I believe he’s a socialist and an existential threat. And not a dress-up socialist.” pic.twitter.com/qCuRX03uP2

Ed: Several years ago, South Park did a hilarious episode on elections by having the elementary school vote on a new mascot, with the two final nominees being a turd sandwich and a giant douche. I’m not sure which of these Cuomo is, but I know he’s one of the two, and Mamdani is the other. I’d take Stan’s option from the episode rather than vote for either, even if it meant getting ridden out of town tied backwards on a donkey.

Setting aside the fact it’s morally reprehensible to market this stuff to kids, it’s gratifying that the culture has moved on such that this sounds like encountering the remnants of a woke cargo cult. https://t.co/pDC88KYDpe

Ed: I certainly hope the culture has moved on. If Democrats win the White House again, I’m not so sure.

Variety: Sweeney told GQ magazine that “it was surreal” to have Trump and Vance weighing in on the ads, but she did not pay attention to the controversy at large.
“I kind of just put my phone away,” the actor said. “I was filming every day. I’m filming ‘Euphoria,’ so I’m working 16-hour days and I don’t really bring my phone on set, so I work and then I go home and I go to sleep. So I didn’t really see a lot of it.”
One thing Sweeney did hear about was American Eagle’s stock rising 38% amid the controversy, to which she said: “I was aware of the numbers as it was going. So when I saw all the headlines of in-store visits were down a certain percentage, none of it was true. It was all made up, but nobody could say anything because [the company was] in their quiet period. So it was all just a lot of talk.”
Ed: The best revenge is living well. And selling jeans. But mostly living well.
