It was a simple question. She made it complicated. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., danced her way through a CNN town hall Wednesday night, artfully avoiding a direct answer to a simple question: Should illegal immigrants receive taxpayer-funded healthcare? The progressive star — whispered about by admirers as a 2028 presidential contender or even a future Schumer challenger — appeared beside Sen.

A warning shot across Chicago’s skyline. President Donald Trump said he could legally invoke the Insurrection Act to combat violent crime in Chicago, urging Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker to “beg for help” as tensions between the two leaders escalate. Speaking aboard Air Force One after concluding his Middle East peace tour, Trump compared violence-ridden American cities to Egypt’s strict approach to crime, which he credited to “strong leadership.” He said governors in struggling states should follow that example. “I want them to be stronger and tougher and not allow us to have record-breaking crime in Chicago and other places.
