A high-profile leftist activist group has directed all of its members to wear black to mark President Donald Trump’s inauguration as a “national day of mourning.”

‘Occupy Democrats’ posted to its 10 million followers on Facebook:

“Don’t forget to wear all black on January 20th,” with an emoji of a broken heart.

The post was also published on Instagram, which also featured TDS-inspired hashtags.

Some respondents suggested, “We’ll be wearing black for the next 4 years.”

Others expressed how they felt more unsafe while labeling Trump a “rapist” and parroted their false media talking point.

We can expect a massive wave TDS for Monday.

It will be glorious to watch all of those liberal meltdowns being posted on X.

Of course, taking pleasure in others’ suffering is nothing we should ever indulge in.

However, given what we’ve all been through in the last four years, perhaps a dash of smugness is in order.

As we reported on Monday, thousands of far-left protesters swamped Washington, D.C. to protest Trump’s inauguration.

Protesters chanted “Lock him up!” and other slogans, such as “Elon Musk has got to go!” as they marched through the nation’s capital.

We reported last week, other groups, such as Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) Coalition and the People’s Forum, which were responsible for vandalized American monuments last year, have begun publicizing plans in November to “fight back” against Trump’s second presidency

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, nominated by President Trump as Homeland Security Secretary, faced the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Friday morning for her confirmation hearing.

As reported by The Gateway Pundit, what unfolded was not only a testament to her poise and knowledge but also an embarrassing display of unpreparedness from Senator Andy Kim (D-N.J.).

Noem, who has served as governor since 2019 and previously represented South Dakota in the U.S. House of Representatives, handled the hearing with professionalism. However, Senator Kim’s questioning revealed a shocking lack of understanding about border security and constitutional authority.

Kim began by citing the appointment of Tom Homan as President Trump’s Border Czar and asked Noem, “Who’s in charge of the nation’s borders?”

A question so elementary it hardly required a response. Without hesitation, Noem clarified that under the U.S. Constitution, the President holds ultimate authority over national security, including border management.

Kim sheepishly admitted that her response aligned with what he expected but claimed he was “confused” because of Homan’s role.

Noem patiently explained that while Homan has been tasked with overseeing enforcement, she, Homan, and other officials work under the President’s directives.

Her clear, concise response underscored Kim’s lack of preparation. The moment was a stark reminder of the gaps in understanding among some Democratic lawmakers regarding basic governmental functions.

The exchange didn’t end there. Kim launched into a lengthy monologue expressing concern that Homan’s role might overshadow Noem’s responsibilities. Remaining composed, Noem reassured him that she had no issues collaborating with Homan under President Trump’s leadership.

Her response once again highlighted her competence and understanding of the role, leaving Kim visibly flustered.

For New Jerseyans, this display from Senator Kim might give pause. If this level of confusion and lack of preparation is what they can expect over the next six years, the Garden State may be in for a rough ride.

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s administration has leveraged a state business incentive program to offer more than $1 billion each to eight different companies since it was created in 2021. Records obtained by The Detroit News through “a protracted, 10-month public records process” revealed only two of the eight companies ultimately took the bait, while offers to the other five were either rejected or are still pending.

Both of the accepted $1 billion-plus deals are now in limbo, with a Ford battery plant in Marshall downsized and delayed, and a Gotion battery parts plant near Big Rapids that remains tied up in litigation and public opposition over environmental concerns and links to the Chinese Communist Party. The other billion-dollar deals involved Volkswagen AG, Stellantis, Samsung SDI America, Scout Motors, and Micron Technologies.

Officials at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, meanwhile, are defending the deals, which they said go through business, financial and legal reviews before they’re approved by lawmakers. “We have been focused on making sure that we are growing the economy where we can utilize our competitive strengths that we have in the state in terms of advanced manufacturing, mobility and our clean energy opportunities,” said Josh Hundt, MEDC’s chief projects officer. “These and all the companies that we’ve made offers to under the SOAR program have fit within one of those areas.” Michigan taxpayers will have to take Hundt’s word for it, as 100 pages of nearly 550 produced in response to The News’ records request were redacted.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) took center stage in the House chamber to rail against the GOP-backed Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act of 2025.

She accused Republicans of hypocrisy and using women’s rights as a smokescreen to push what she called a “bigoted” agenda targeting transgender girls.

“Here we are today, Republicans who have voted against consistently against the Violence Against Women Act, who have taken away the right of all women to choose and have control over their own body, who, as women, are bleeding out in parking lots across the country, standing there allowing us to die. Now want to pretend today that they care about women,” Ocasio-Cortez said, highlighting what she views as glaring contradictions in Republican priorities.

The bill, which seeks to ban transgender girls from participating in girls’ sports, has sparked fierce debate.

Ocasio-Cortez warned that its vague wording could pave the way for harmful enforcement practices. “The majority right now says there’s no place in this bill that says it opens up for gender genital examinations. Well, here’s the thing, there’s no enforcement mechanism in this bill, and when there is no enforcement mechanism, you open the door to every enforcement mechanism.”

Ocasio-Cortez argued that such legislation could lead to invasive scrutiny of young girls based on their appearance or behavior.

“What this also opens the door for is for women to try to perform a very specific kind of femininity, for the very kind of men who are drafting this bill, and to open up questioning of who is a woman because of how we look, how we present ourselves, and yes, what we choose to do with our bodies,” she said.

Her critique didn’t stop there. The congresswoman took aim at the bill’s backers, accusing them of having ulterior motives.

“I know who loves this bill. Yes, bigoted folks love this bill. Assaulters love this bill. But also CEOs love this bill, because Los Angeles is on fire right now, and this is the number one priority this majority has.”

Ocasio-Cortez also expressed frustration with what she sees as misplaced focus in Congress, urging lawmakers to address pressing issues like climate change.

“Los Angeles is on fire right now, and this is the number one priority this majority has,” she repeated, underscoring her belief that the bill distracts from more critical problems.

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act remains a lightning rod for controversy.

Supporters argue it ensures fairness in women’s sports, while critics, like Ocasio-Cortez, claim it promotes discrimination and infringes on personal autonomy.

With the debate heating up, Ocasio-Cortez’s impassioned speech has further polarized the discussion.
