SEE IT: Massive NYC homeless encampment fuels backlash against Mamdani

A sprawling homeless encampment stretching roughly 12 blocks along Manhattan’s West Side is alarming people who live, work and visit nearby, with several telling Fox News Digital that the city is not doing enough to address the tents, trash and reported illegal activity. "I think it’s embarrassing," said Joan G., a woman who did not want to reveal her last name told Fox News Digital near the encampment. A nearby construction-site security guard who identified himself only as "Joe the Dog Man" also criticized the city’s response. "I just don't think enough is being done," he said. HOUSING FIRST IS A DISASTER. I SAW SACRAMENTO'S HOMELESS CHAOS FIRSTHAND Mamdani initially paused encampment sweeps after taking office, fulfilling an early campaign promise, but later introduced a revised removal policy that gives homeless-services teams seven days to conduct outreach before an encampment can be dismantled.

WATCH: Lawmakers reveal where they stand on congressional term limits after recent health scares

Amid renewed questions of age and health in Congress , lawmakers are split on whether they should implement some form of term limits, capping the number of terms any one person can serve as an elected federal representative. Despite the relative popularity of the idea of term limits, the debate hinges on whether implementing such a policy would inhibit voter choice and make it harder for Capitol Hill to retain institutional expertise. That’s the concern of Sen. Tim Sheehy, R-Mont. 'THIS IS NOT NORMAL': AOC UNLOADS ON MCCONNELL'S PROLONGED ABSENCE "The voters will decide who they want. We have term limits, and we have age limits and that is the voter. And if they decide they want to elect an 80-year-old or 100-year-old that's up to the voters," Sheehy said. Rep. Glen Grothman, R-Wisc., echoed Sheehy’s thinking. "I think the voters — when they’re electing, if they want to elect Grassley, you shouldn’t take that right away from them," Grothman said, ref...

The progressive education machine is collapsing. We should let it fall

The American education establishment is currently having a collective meltdown. If you watch the headlines closely, you can see the panic setting in across the country. This is the unmistakable sound of a broken progressive machine collapsing under the weight of its own arrogance. The radical left has engineered our educational system to prioritize ideological compliance over human formation. Reality is finally catching up with them, and the collapse is starting where the crusade began. The war on merit. A few years ago, the "prestigious" University of California system proudly eliminated standardized testing. They sacrificed the SAT and ACT on the altar of "equity," claiming that objective academic standards were inherently discriminatory. The administrators confidently claimed that removing the tests would level the playing field. They promised it would open the doors of elite academia to students with fewer resources, reshaping the demographic makeup of the inco...
