The hearing is spearheaded by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan of Ohio, focusing on what they call the pro-crime, anti-victim policies of Bragg.

Bragg just charged Former President Trump, a close ally of Jordan's, with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.

The witnesses scheduled to testify include advocates for victim's rights and Jose Alba, a bodega worker who was charged with murder in a killing that was later ruled self-defense, and the charges were dropped. "There is shoplifting, there's boosting, there's assaults, there's rapes, there's a nonstop crime. You look on 57th Street alone from east to west, it's become a danger zone," said Curtis Sliwa, former candidate for NYC Mayor, and head of the Guardian Angels.

"This is really ridiculous, particularly when you do an analysis of the congressional district of Jim Jordan. You'll see that crime is actually higher in his district, per capita," Mayor Adams said. The murder rate per capita in Ohio's largest city of Columbus is three times as high compared to New York City.

Be aware of dishonest / misleading commentary by billritter7 . NYC crime in 2022 under DA Bragg skyrocketed so Bill Ritter compares 2023 crime stats to 2022 when there was a huge increase. Of course 2023 has seen a decrease in crime because 2022 crime was historically high.

House Judiciary Committee members to include New York lawmakers in field hearing focused on crimeHouse Judiciary Committee members on both sides of the aisle are expected to include their New York colleagues for a hearing Monday in Manhattan focused on soaring crime in the city, against a backdrop of scrutinizing Democratic District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his prosecution of former President Donald Trump. It isn't about crime. It's about harrassing the Manhattan DA for Donald Trump. This committee is a joke. republican run states have highest crimes/murder rates, highest poverty rates, worst healthcare outcomes. austerity and 'trickle down' economics are failing americans there.

Opinion | Dianne Feinstein is a Democratic Rorschach text — but there is a right answerMarisa Kabas: Women have never had a louder political voice than we do now. It’s essential we have leadership that serves our causes — not someone whose stubbornness impedes them. If Dianne Feinstein and Justice Kennedy just divulged what made them so upset regarding Trump's collusion with Russia in 2016, and Kennedy's extortion tainted retirement, the 2024 election would not include Trump. Well, what kind of women are we talking about? Real women with a real biological parts that make them a woman or trans pretend women? Democrats eat their own! 😞

Texas House investigating committee issues four subpoenas, days after allegations against Bryan Slaton emergeThe Texas House Committee on General Investigating issued four subpoenas Friday, though it did not say to whom or for what purpose. This comes days after complaints against Rep. Bryan Slaton alleged he had an 'inappropriate relationship' with an intern. Interns are fair game. Bill Clinton said so. Well, he lied and the Senate said it was OK. stevanzetti Im so confused, I thought it was the TN house speaker having an affair with a lobbyist who's married someone on the governor's staff. Starting to sound like those republican coke fueled orgies might actually be a thing. SO ARE THE SUBPOENAS FOR THE SEXUAL ABUSE? BECAUSE IT WOULD BE RELEVANT TO THE NEWS IF IT WAS ABOUT THE SEXUAL ABUSE
