During the holiday season, fundraisers to help those in need are a common occurrence. But a recent attempt to tug at the heartstrings to help families in need has been exposed as yet another attempt to pad the coffers of someone decidedly not in need. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) recently sent out an email asking supporters to donate for a Thanksgiving turkey giveaway in New York City. The message read, “Thanksgiving is two weeks away. Will you chip in $5 or anything you can today to help us bring the joy of the holiday season into homes around NYC this year?” The page disclosure notes, “paid for by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for Congress, with donations not qualifying as charitable deductions.” https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/aocs-turkey-giveaway-charity-push-sends-money-directly/ Multiple reports in American mainstream media, echoed by Ukrainian state news, indicated on Tuesday that U.S. Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll is holding meetings with Russian officials in Abu Dhabi, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to discuss a U.S.-proposed end to the Ukraine invasion. Reports from Reuters, CBS News, and the Associated Press, among others, suggested that talks have begun between American and Russian officials to refine what began as a 28-point peace plan presented by Washington last week. The Ukrainian state media outlet Ukrinform did not independently verify the report, but shared the report citing the American news outlets, suggesting its accuracy. Lavrov confirmed that the Russian government was in possession of the latest version of the Ukraine peace deal, but stated that officials “received it through unofficial channels,” rather than through either America or Ukraine. Secretary of State Marco Rubio traveled to Geneva, Switzerland, this weekend to discuss the plan with Ukrainian officials, leaving the engagement declaring that they were “the most productive and meaningful so far” towards ending Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Reports surfaced late on Monday that Ukraine had agreed to the peace proposal, so American diplomats were now tasked with convincing Moscow to sign on. “The Ukrainians have agreed to the peace deal,” an anonymous purported U.S. official told ABC News on Tuesday. “There are some minor details to be sorted out but they have agreed to a peace deal.” The survey asked respondents – likely voters under the age of 40 – “The next presidential election is in 2028. Would you like to see a democratic socialist candidate win the 2028 presidential election?” Across the board, 51 percent said “yes,” they would like to see a democratic socialist win the 2028 presidential election. Only 32 percent said “no,” and 17 percent remain unsure. The survey follows the rise of Muslim socialist Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect in New York City, who has pushed radial ideas including city-owned grocery stores. He has also suggested that “mental health experts” should respond to crimes rather than police. It also comes as Democrat infighting becomes more prominent as seen during the Democrat government shutdown, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) trying to appease the far-left base of his party. UPDATE: At 7:10 pm ET, CBS News confirmed with sources that the suspect is 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who entered the country under Biden in 2021. The Gateway Pundit reported that the two members of the West Virginia National Guard, who were shot, were rumored to be killed. However, West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey now said there are conflicting reports about the condition of the two guard members. As The Gateway Pundit reported, at least two National Guard members were shot near the White House on Wednesday, causing the White House to come under lockdown. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/11/developing-suspect-shooting-near-white-house-identified/ The Department of Homeland Security has announced the revocation of the Temporary Protected Status (TPS) of Haitian migrants. The ruling, which will take effect on February 3, 2026, will impact more than 500,000 Haitians currently benefiting from the designation. Haiti received this designation following a series of political crises and natural disasters, beginning with the devastating 2010 earthquake that shattered the nation and crippled its already fragile economy. Just last week, the administration announced that it was ending TPS for people from Somalia, although the decision is only expected to affect around 700 people Posting on Truth Social, Trump described the state of Minnesota, where they mostly reside, as a “hub of fraudulent money laundering activity.” “Send them back to where they came from,” he wrote. “It’s OVER!”
