‘Progressive capitalist’ rallies for ‘democratic socialist’ candidate in NYC mayoral race
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
JAMAICA, QUEENS – Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., is a «progressive capitalist,» but ahead of New York City’s highly-anticipated Election Day, the Silicon Valley congressman rallied for self-identified democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani.
As a broad coalition of Mamdani supporters gathered in Queens’ Major Mark Park on Saturday, a socialist and a capitalist – both of Indian descent – found common ground despite the Democratic Party’s looming identity crisis.
«My vision is economic patriotism,» Khanna told Fox News Digital after the rally, explaining that he wants to «build a broad, FDR-Obama-like coalition» to overhaul the U.S. economy. «I think we need to be a broad tent.»
Khanna said he is «probably one of the few» Democrats who has campaigned for the Democratic nominee in all three major races of this election cycle, also joining gubernatorial candidates Rep. Mikie Sherrill, D-N.J., and former Rep. Abigail Spanberger, D-Va., on the campaign trail in their states this year.

«If you had asked me when I was growing up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, that there would be an Indian-American of Hindu faith representing Silicon Valley introducing an African-born Indian of Muslim faith, who would be the next mayor of New York, I would have told you only in a Mira Nair film, but it’s happening,» Khanna told the crowd, referencing Mamdani’s filmmaker mother.

Among those rallying in Queens were coalitions of New Yorkers from Afghan, Muslim, Pakistani and Bangladeshi backgrounds, along with local elected officials, including former Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., who lost his Democratic primary to a more moderate challenger last year.
Speakers during Saturday’s rally and canvass launch condemned Islamophobia, after Mamdani last week criticized his competitors in the mayoral race, including Independent candidate former Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Republican nominee Curtis Sliwa and Mayor Erics Adams, who suspended his re-election campaign and endorsed Cuomo for what he claims was «Islamophobic rhetoric.»
Mamdani asked the New Yorkers gathered to raise their hands if they were ever called a terrorist, if employers «mangled» their names or they had been made to feel «less-than because of who you are.»
«We are not just saying goodbye to a disgraced former governor on Tuesday, we are saying goodbye to the politics of that disgrace,» Mamdani said.
But just moments prior, a protester disrupted Mamdani’s remarks, lambasting the leading mayoral candidate for his refusal to denounce the phrase «globalize the intifada» – which is widely considered a call to violence against Jews. Mamdani said he would discourage others from using the phrase but has been reluctant to denounce it.
«You are a communist!» the protester shouted from the press pen as the crowd booed him while Mamdani continued speaking.
«This is not Cuba! This is not Venezuela!» the protester, who was wearing a shirt with the Cuban flag, shouted.
He was ultimately escorted out of the rally by police officers as he shouted, «F— you, Zohran!»
President Donald Trump has labeled Mamdani a «100% Communist Lunatic» and «My little communist» – a moniker Mamdani has rejected.
Mamdani’s ambitious campaign agenda includes fast and free buses, city-run grocery stores, and free childcare, which he plans to pay for by raising taxes on corporations and the top 1% of New Yorkers.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, who was heckled by Mamdani supporters to «Tax the rich» during last Sunday’s rally, has ruled out a tax hike, despite endorsing Mamdani’s mayoral campaign.
After Saturday’s rally and canvass launch, Khanna told Fox News Digital that Hochul «should be taxing the billionaires.»
«What’s wrong with having a tax on that wealth so that we can pay for childcare?» Khanna questioned, explaining that a 10% «trillionaire tax» – which he said Elon Musk is angling to be – could pay for universal childcare in the United States.
«I don’t understand why she’s not for a basic wealth tax,» Khanna added.
Mamdani’s mayoral campaign has exposed a divide within the Democratic Party, as New York Democrats were reluctant to endorse his democratic socialist agenda.

After months of withholding his support, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries finally endorsed Mamdani last week. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has yet to endorse Mamdani with just days left in the race.
As the Democratic Party grapples with losses up and down the ballot in 2024, a new report this week urged Democrats to moderate their positions.
The report was released on the heels of the trio of self-identified democratic socialists – Mamdani, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt. – joining forces to rally more than 10,000 New York City voters at Forest Hills Stadium last Sunday.

When asked about the value of building a coalition with Mamdani, despite Khanna rejecting socialism and calling himself a «progressive capitalist,» he told Fox News Digital that the real challenge is the «wealth divide.»
«People can’t afford rent,» Khanna said. «People can’t afford childcare. SNAP is being cut. I represent more wealth than ever before, and I’m saying you can tax billionaires so people can have healthcare and education. We can have a vision of how we’re going to create high-paying jobs, not just here in Queens, but in rural America, in factory towns across this nation.»

Former Rep. Gohmert blasts Jack Smith for allegedly targeting his personal phone records in J6 probe
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
EXCLUSIVE: Former Rep. Louie Gohmert blasted ex-Special Counsel Jack Smith for allegedly targeting his personal phone records as part of his investigation into the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, telling Fox News Digital in an exclusive interview that his action «destroys the checks and balances that the founders counted on.»
Fox News Digital exclusively reported Thursday morning that Smith targeted then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy’s personal, private phone records, as well as Gohmert’s.
JACK SMITH SOUGHT THEN-HOUSE SPEAKER MCCARTHY’S PRIVATE PHONE RECORDS IN J6 PROBE, FBI DOCS REVEAL
Fox News Digital exclusively reviewed the document that FBI Director Kash Patel recently shared with Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson containing the explosive revelations. Grassley and Johnson have been leading a joint investigation into Smith’s «Arctic Frost» probe.

According to the document, Smith, on Jan. 24, 2023, allegedly sought the «toll records for the personal cell phones of U.S. Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (AT&T) and U.S. Representative Louie Gohmert (Verizon.)»
The information was included as part of a «significant case notification» drafted by the FBI’s Criminal Investigative Division May 25, 2023.
«It is astounding that Jack ‘Frost’ Smith went on this persecution,» Gohmert told Fox News Digital Thursday. «Apparently, this guy has never read the Fourth Amendment because you have to describe with particularity what it is you’re going after — there should be probable cause, and they had no probable cause. They were going on a witch hunt.»
Smith had sought Gohmert’s personal cellphone records from November 2020 through the end of January 2021.
«They don’t have any regard for the Fourth Amendment,» he said. «It makes Watergate look like school yard folly.»
But Gohmert said it is the «principle.»

«It is the separation of powers that is the problem,» Gohmert explained. «People and whistleblowers contacted me regularly from within the DOJ and the FBI about overreach within the FBI and DOJ. By grabbing my records, they could stifle reporting of potential crimes by people within the agencies.»
JACK SMITH TRACKED PRIVATE COMMUNICATIONS, CALLS OF NEARLY A DOZEN GOP SENATORS DURING J6 PROBE, FBI SAYS
«You can’t just go seize members of Congress’ records even with a warrant because of that separation of powers,» Gohmert said. «There has to be a wall and that’s what troubles me more than anything.»
Gohmert told Fox News Digital that he didn’t remember who he spoke with during the time period Smith sought records, but said that «the last thing I want is for someone who trusted me to keep their name private to have some jack-booted thug like Jack ‘Frost’ Smith grab my records and find out who is tattle tailing on him.»
He added: «It violates and destroys the checks and balances that the founders counted on.»
Gohmert, though, told Fox News Digital that he trusts the current Justice Department and FBI leadership.
«I trust the DOJ and trust the people running the FBI,» he said. «We’ll see if there were any crimes committed and, if following the Constitution, they can be properly prosecuted.»
HAGERTY PRESSES VERIZON OVER FBI’S ACCESS TO HIS PHONE RECORDS DURING JACK SMITH PROBE
Meanwhile, McCarthy said he will take legal action against Smith.

«Jack Smith’s radical and deranged investigation was never about finding the truth,» McCarthy told Fox News Digital. «It was a blatant weaponizing of the Justice Department to attack political opponents of the Biden administration. Perhaps no action underscores this point more than the illegal attempt to access the phone records of sitting members of the House and Senate — including the Speaker of the House.»
«His illegal targeting demands real accountability,» McCarthy continued. «And I am confident Congress will hold hearings and access documents in its investigation into Jack Smith’s own abuses.»
HAGERTY PRESSES VERIZON OVER FBI’S ACCESS TO HIS PHONE RECORDS DURING JACK SMITH PROBE
«At the same time, I will ask my own counsel to pursue all areas of redress so this does not happen to anyone else,» McCarthy said.
The revelations come after Fox News Digital exclusively reported in October that Smith and his «Arctic Frost» team investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots were tracking the private communications and phone calls of nearly a dozen Republican senators as part of the probe, including Sens. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, Josh Hawley of Missouri, Cynthia Lummis of Wyoming, Bill Hagerty of Tennessee, Dan Sullivan of Alaska, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and GOP Rep. Mike Kelly of Pennsylvania.
An official told Fox News Digital that those records were collected in 2023 by Smith and his team after subpoenaing major telephone providers.
Smith has called his decision to subpoena and track Republican lawmakers’ phone records «entirely proper» and consistent with Justice Department policy.
«As described by various Senators, the toll data collection was narrowly tailored and limited to the four days from January 4, 2021 to January 7, 2021, with a focus on telephonic activity during the period immediately surrounding the January 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol,» Smith’s lawyers wrote in October to Grassley.
Grassley, R-Iowa, and Johnson, R-Wis., have been investigating the matter.

An FBI official told Fox News Digital that «Arctic Frost» is a «prohibited case,» and that the review required FBI officials to go «above and beyond in order to deliver on this promise of transparency.» The discovery is part of a broader ongoing review, Fox News Digital has learned.
Smith, after months of investigating, charged President Donald Trump in the U.S. District Court for Washington, D.C., in his 2020 election case, but after Trump was elected president, Smith sought to dismiss the case. Judge Tanya Chutkan granted that request.

Qué leer esta semana: autorretrato de una niña violada por su padrastro, Viviana Rivero y la verdad sobre el cuidado del riñón
Sí, los libros nos acompañan bajo las frazadas en invierno y en la felicidad del aire libre o de una buena ventana cuando la temperatura empieza a subir. Los temas que tocan pueden ser reconfortantes como la primavera o de una dureza acorde con lo más polar del invierno. Esta semana tendremos un poco de todo.
Aquí hablaremos de Triste tigre, una verdadera historia de terror publicada por Anagrama y narrada con calidad literaria por Neige Sinno, la mujer que era una nena cuando su padrastro la violaba, entre los siete y los 14 años. Tambien de Secretos de sangre, donde la escritora argentina Viviana Rivero retoma personajes de su primer éxito para narrar historias cruzadas entre la Segunda Guerra Mundial y la Argentina contemporánea. Y, finalmente, de Por mis riñones que hoy como diez veces bien, donde el médico Borja Quiroga y el cocinero Miguel Cobo muestran cómo cuidar en serio los riñones, sin caer en mitos. Como agregado, un bonus track, gratis, de Gabriela Cabezón Cámara, que en estos días compite por el National Book Award, el gran premio literario de los Estados Unidos.
Todos los libros de los que aqui hablamos se consiguen en formato digital o audiolibro, para aprovechar comodidad y precio.
Muy triste, muy, muy triste lo que cuenta Neige Sinno. El tipo es un seductor, la gente lo quiere, incluso después de que confesó lo quieren, algo como “un buen tipo que violó a una nena”, ese tremendo oxímoron que la empatía puede generar. O, para decirlo, mejor: “Ese buen tipo que violaba a una nena”. Porque no fue una vez, fueron siete años. No fue en una calle oscura: fue en la casa donde él vivía como el marido de la madre de Neige y el padre de sus medio hermanos. No fue “un poquito” fue penetrando, poniéndole el miembro en la boca e incluso usando zanahorias y zapallitos cuando había que hacer lugar.
Triste tigre
Audiolibro
Sinno, nacida en 1977, lo cuenta todo ahora, que es una mujer grande pero no deja espacio para creer que “ya pasó”. Aunque siguió su vida, estudió en Estados Unidos y vive en México, se casó y tiene una hija, no permite, en el texto, que nos vayamos tranquilos, con la ilusión de la víctima que superó todo y curó sus heridas. La herida estará para siempre, aunque sea en forma de cicatriz.
Otro aspecto notable es el análisis que hace de Lolita, la novela de Vladimir Nabokov publicada en 1955 que tanta controversia causó. Se trataba, justamente, de la relación entre un adulto y una chica de 12 años. ¿Relación?¿Romance? Sinno destruye cualquier interpretación en ese sentido y valora la manera en que el autor muestra la cabeza de “alguien que hace el mal de forma deliberada”.
Triste tigre es un plato fuerte, para paladares duros. Inolvidable.
Un médico argentino que reside en Nueva York encuentra una acusación de nazi pintada en la fachada de su casa y, tras el impacto, decide investigar el pasado de su abuelo, un diplomático alemán que se refugió en Mar Chiquita, Córdoba durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La búsqueda lo lleva a la Argentina, donde el silencio que rodea la figura de Marthin Müller y el encuentro con Coralina Carreño, una joven madre con un secreto, abren nuevas incógnitas familiares.
Secretos de sangre
eBook
La novela alterna entre la época de la guerra y el presente, situando parte de la trama en el Hotel Viena, donde Marthin Müller y su esposa Amalia vivieron una intensa historia de amor. En la actualidad, la relación entre Alex y Coralina se convierte en el eje para desentrañar secretos familiares largamente ocultos.
Viviana Rivero, autora de esta obra, nació en Córdoba, Argentina, y divide su residencia entre su ciudad natal y Madrid, España. Es abogada y antes de dedicarse a la literatura trabajó como asesora legal y dirigió grupos de autoliderazgo femenino. También fue productora y directora de televisión. Entre sus títulos más destacados figuran Secreto bien guardado, Mujer y maestra, Y ellos se fueron, La dama de noche y Los soles de Santiago. Sus libros, publicados en España y otros países de habla hispana y traducidos al italiano, han alcanzado una gran repercusión de público y crítica. Actualmente, Rivero es profesora en el máster de literatura de la Universidad Internacional de Valencia (VIU).
¿Será verdad que beber dos litros de agua cada día beneficia a tus riñones? La hormona EPO, responsable de oxigenar la sangre, se produce en los riñones. Allí también se origina la proteína klotho, relacionada con el envejecimiento y la longevidad. A pesar de su importancia, los riñones siguen siendo uno de los órganos más complejos y menos comprendidos del cuerpo.
Por mis riñones que hoy como diez veces bien
eBook

Es bastante impactante que una escritora con una mirada tan profunda sobre América latina, la colonización, el derecho a la más radical de las diferencias y el impacto de la civilización sobre la naturaleza esté en la “lista corta” de uno de los grandes premios internacionales de literatura. Pero así es. Gabriela Cabezón Cámara está viajando a Nueva York donde el 19 de noviembre se hará el anuncio.
El onceavo dorado
eBook
Mientras tanto, se puede leer, gratis, El onceavo dorado, un cuento que Cabezón Cámara publicó a través de Leamos, la editorial digital de Infobae.
Desde el barro de la villa hasta el piso once de un edificio lujoso, Ariel experimenta un ascenso marcado por la distancia de la pobreza, la violencia y el hambre. En ese entorno de privilegios, rodeado de cocaína pura, promesas de riqueza y compañía ocasional, planea escapar al extranjero.
La aparente seguridad de Ariel se ve amenazada por la traición, ya que su posición resulta ser la de un peón dentro de un sistema que manipula y destruye vidas con precisión implacable. La autora Gabriela Cabezón Cámara expone en su relato la brutalidad de un engranaje social que compra lealtades y sacrifica personas, mientras el lujo y el progreso encubren una inminente catástrofe.
