Wacko Brooklyn politicians want New York to declare war on the US government by “turning off the power” to 26 Federal Plaza: Assemblyman Robert Carroll and City Councilman Justin Brannan claim it’s the only way to counter “the soft launch of a fascist regime.” 

Carroll (D-Park Slope) and Brannan (D-Bay Ridge) are mad that ICE is detaining illegal migrants for deportation inside the Jacob Javits building, which houses the Social Security Administration, HUD and other agencies.

Their solution: Have city government lay siege to force the feds to release the criminal aliens being held “illegally.” 

Never mind that the first victims of this idiocy would be the detainees, who would lose light, A/C and probably drinking water. 

Time for everyone who called the Jan. 6 Capitol riot an “insurrection” to check their dictionaries: Intentionally cutting off the power to interfere with federal law enforcement surely fits the bill, every bit as much as the Confederates firing on Ft. Sumter.

This would be outright sedition — if the Brooklyn bozos were serious. 

Even if they’re unfamiliar with the Supremacy Clause of the US Constitution, Brannan and Carroll have to know that neither the city nor state has any authority to disrupt the US government as it carries out the policies of the president: Fighting this out has to happen in the courts,or at the ballot box — period.

But the rebel yells demonstrate their loyalty to the extremism that now defines the Democratic Party in New York, right up there with Zohran Mamdani’s vow to be “Trump’s worst nightmare.”

Heck, Brannan lost his bid for comptroller and is off the City Council come January, while Carroll’s probably a decade from having enough seniority to do much in the Assembly: This call for open rebellion looks mostly like a bid for City Hall positions under a Mayor Mamdani. 

Local politics is in a sad state indeed when calling for insurrection is how pols apply for new jobs.
