Former Rep. Eric Swalwell resigned from Congress this spring, and dropped out of California's governor's race, following a slew of scandals in which Swalwell was accused of sexual misconduct and allegations of sexual assault. But Swalwell isn't the only one with a scandal on his hands.
Rep. Jimmy Gomez, another California Democrat, has been caught having an extramarital affair with Yardena Wolf, who was Swalwell's former Chief of Staff. Gomez is married with a young child at home.Quotehe mystery woman Rep. Jimmy Gomez admitted to making “mistakes” with is his best buddy Eric Swalwell’s former chief of staff, The Post can reveal.
The married California Democrat had an 11-month-old child at home when he was caught in a moment of passion with Swalwell’s minxy congressional aide Yardena Wolf three years ago.
Gomez, the founder of the Dads Caucus in Congress, confessed Tuesday in a statement that he cheated on his wife after The Post’s reporting on the encounter with Wolf, which kicked off a House Ethics Committee investigation, yielding fresh tips on his conduct.
Wolf, at the time 29, and Gomez, then 48, were spotted having an intimate moment against a car outside a party at Swalwell’s home north of the Capitol in the summer of 2023 — about two years into her tenure as Swalwell’s top staffer.
The Department of Justice on Thursday announced a series of anti-fraud actions in Ohio as part of a broader effort to crack down on public fraud nationwide.
Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, Assistant Attorney General Colin McDonald, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Small Business Administration Director Kelly Loeffler, and Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Director Dr. Mehmet Oz all participated in the press conference.
"Today, Ohio’s fraud-fighting team is uniting with us in historic ways to contribute uniquely to the fight against fraud," McDonald said.
Oz detailed a string of fraud findings involving illegitimate recipients of public funds for healthcare.
"Unfortunately, this area around Columbus is responsible for 1/3 of all of the $1.5B spent on home healthcare in Ohio... that's 3x what you would expect... it defies belief. Some of these buildings were vacant," he said.
Loeffler, meanwhile, announced the discovery of $1.1 billion in Paycheck Protection Program fraud and the suspension of more than 27,000 Ohio borrowers.
At the end of the day, you won’t find a more envious, petty, bitter, and catty bunch of people than liberal women. When they’re not feeding their cats, they’re online, often wasting what little time we all have on this earth following the lives of people they detest — people who are actively living their own lives, like Karoline Leavitt.
That would explain why the White House press secretary, who is on maternity leave, has the liberal “Karens” all tied in knots over her social posts about things like recipes, healthy eating, and motherhood.
The Mirror US, the American sister publication of the British tabloid of the same name (The Mirror UK), is all over the story in woke tabloid fashion. Meanwhile, Leavitt is paying no mind to all of her haters as she enjoys quality time with her family, and especially her second child, Viviana, who was born on May 1.
As time allows and the impulse leads her, Leavitt has not infrequently posted Instagram stories that feature mostly harmless photos of what she’s eating. But for the angry left, this is a bridge too far.
“Karoline Leavitt appears to be turning a blind eye to America's ongoing cost-of-living crisis and instead focusing on cooking with pricey ingredients,” the Mirror's Ellie Hook wrote. ...
If Maine Democrats were already nervous, they should be in full panic mode now. Just days after Graham Platner sat down with Senate Democrats and told them straight to their faces that nothing new would come out about him, the New York Times dropped an investigative report that should be the end of his candidacy.
The Times relied on more than two dozen sources, including six of Platner’s former romantic partners, whose stories are backed up by texts, social media messages, and diary entries. The picture that emerged was rather ugly: heavy drinking, serial infidelity, emotional abuse, and physical intimidation.
Platner promised his party this moment would never arrive. He lied.

It’s damning stuff. He’s arguably survived quite a few scandals already, but can he survive this story?
Fox News’s Jesse Watters doesn’t think so.
"It's over. He can't survive it,” Watters said on The Five Thursday. “They have women on the record calling him a brute. He was rough with them. He twisted their arms behind their back, locked them in closets, grabbed them by the wrist, roughed them up, and left marks. I mean, you can't survive that. No one can survive that. The guy's an animal. He's unstable. He might even be mentally ill."

So this is the moral abyss wokeness has dragged us into.
A society where a dying teenage boy can be roughly handcuffed by cops because someone accused him of being racist.
A hellish dystopia where the last thing a kid hears as he gasps his final breaths is a politically correct police officer reading him his rights.
A nightmare world where not even the victim of a vicious stabbing can escape the haughty suspicion of the state’s DEI-trained goons.
There’s been a ton of talk about James Talarico, the Democrats’ nominee for the Senate seat in Texas, and how he claims that Christianity is a left-wing faith. The left so desperately wants it to be true, even as so many leftists reject Christianity.
A couple of mainstream media outlets are hyping up Talarico as a new kind of Christian politician. What they’re inadvertently doing is revealing how out of touch with true Christianity Talarico actually is.
If you want an idea of how far out of the mainstream Talarico’s theology is, check out the first few paragraphs of a profile of the candidate's pastor in the New York Times:QuoteOn a recent Sunday morning at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas, Jim Rigby asked his congregation to share what came to mind when he mentioned the Apostle Paul, the major Christian figure to whom 13 books in the Bible are attributed. They cheerfully complied:...
“Villain!”
“Homophobic!”
“He’s a jerk.”
Paul’s attributed writings include passages seen as encouraging wives to submit to their husbands and instructing them to be quiet in church, and others condemning same-sex sexual behavior as sinful.
Mr. Rigby acknowledged the trouble. But in a sermon that also cited the Bhagavad Gita and the Buddha, he nudged his congregation to reconsider the apostle, one of the most important in the early Christian church. “Aristotle and Plato, they were creeps, too, in modern times,” Mr. Rigby said. “But do we want to learn from our ancestors or not?”
Of course, the truth is that Talarico is the one distorting Christianity. He has twisted scripture, practiced eisegesis (which is reading one’s own meaning into a biblical text — and in Talarico’s case, bringing his own agenda into scripture) to claim that the Bible says what it doesn’t, and even preached from heretical, false Gnostic texts to paper a far-left agenda over Christianity.
Please don’t misunderstand me: I’m not trying to claim that Christianity is the exclusive claim of conservatives and Republicans. Liberals can be faithful Christians and still have misguided political beliefs. But Talarico’s theology is so far outside the mainstream because he leads from his politics and builds his faith convictions around them. It should be the other way around.
