The Federalist: As Tolerance For Wokeness Dies, Leftists' Lust For Violence Grows
The acquittal of Daniel Penny, who restrained a violent felon on the subway, signals a backlash against perceived leftist tyranny and soft-on-crime policies in New York City. This verdict reflects growing public frustration with rising crime and calls for law and order.

This has raised concerns about illegal foreign funding in U.S. elections, prompting further inquiry by the House Administration Committee.
Rep. Bryan Steil highlighted that ActBlue's practices may have allowed foreign entities to influence U.S. campaigns, with calls for stricter regulations to prevent such occurrences.
