Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz says police informed him of possible murder plot against him
Rep. Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., said in a statement that the Margate Police Department informed him about a possible plot to kill him. The congressman, who won re-election this week, said authorities informed him of the news a day ahead of the election. “The day before the election, I was notified by the Margate Police Department, located in my Congressional District, about a potential plot on my life. The individual in question was arrested not far from my home; he is a former felon who was in possession of a rifle, a suppressor, and body armor,” Moskowitz said in the statement. DEM CONGRESSMAN SAYS TRUMP SHOULD TALK ABOUT DROPPING OUT AFTER DEBATE “Found with him was a manifesto that, among other things, included antisemitic rhetoric and only my name on the ‘target’ list. There are many other details that I will not disclose as I do not want to interfere with an ongoing investigation,” the lawmaker noted. “This is outrageous,” Rep. Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., tweeted in response to Moskowitz’s statement about the potential plot. “Nobody should hurt Jared!” Fox News Digital reached out to the Margate Police Department regarding the potential murder plot against Moskowitz, and Maj. Alain Banatte provided a press release that discusses the arrest of 41-year-old John Lapinski. GEOGRAPHIC TERRITORY OF HURRICANE DISASTER IS ‘GIGANTIC’: REP JARED MOSKOWITZ “On November 2, 2024, the Margate Police Department conducted an investigation that resulted in the arrest of John Lapinski, DOB 07/23/83, a resident of Margate, for possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and other firearms related charges,” the release noted. “During the investigation, our detectives located several firearms and evidence that indicated he may have been planning some type of criminal act,” the press release continued. “The Margate Police Department contacted the Broward Sheriff’s Office (BSO), the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to assist with the investigation. “Since this investigation is still active and ongoing the Margate Police Department will not be providing further comment. The ATF is currently the lead agency for this investigation,” the press release concluded. REP. JARED MOSKOWITZ: WE NEED TO GET TO A CEASE-FIRE, BUT WE MUST GET THE HOSTAGES OUT Moskowitz congratulated Susie Wiles in response to the news that President-elect Donald Trump had picked her as his chief of staff. “Congrats to @susie57!” he tweeted. “I worked with Susie in the DeSantis Administration. She is brilliant, tough, strategic. She will serve the country well.”
Soros DAs suffer 12 big defeats, billionaire’s agenda faces uncertain future
Americans are turning the page on the woke left’s approach to crime, if this week’s district attorney elections are anything to go by. A majority of the 25 George Soros-linked district attorneys on the ballot this week were defeated, signaling a backlash against progressive policies that critics say are to blame for a surge in crime across the country in recent years. Many of the losing Soros candidates were running for office in deep blue jurisdictions and suffered heavy losses despite Vice President Harris clocking up comfortable majorities in those same areas – indicating that a large portion of Democrats are also done with the progressive Left’s soft on crime experiment, according to the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund, a pro-police non-profit that tracked the 25 races. Of the 25 Soros-linked district attorneys on the ballot, 12 were either defeated or recalled. ‘FAILED EXPERIMENT’: EXPERTS REVEAL WHY SOROS-BACKED POLICIES TOOK BEATING IN DEEP BLUE STATE Soros, the Hungarian-born left-wing billionaire, runs a dark money web of non-profits that bankroll various candidates around the world who align with his progressive agenda, including his Open Society Foundations. Soros has given over $32 billion to Open Society Foundations since 1984, according to its website. The most high-profile loss this week came in the city of Los Angeles, where District Attorney George Gascón, backed by Soros, was thumped 24% by his tough on crime opponent, Nathan Hochman, a former federal prosecutor, with crime being a top issue of the election cycle. In contrast, Harris swept Los Angeles County by 30 points. In other areas of the liberal bastion state, hard-on-crime San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins comfortably beat out prosecutor Ryan Khojasteh, who was the handpicked candidate of former district attorney Chesa Boudin, who was recalled in 2022. Jenkins claimed in January that the city has been experiencing a “hard turn to the right” in recent years. Those sentiments were echoed by Gascón after his loss this week. In another loss for Soros-backed prosecutors in the Golden State, District Attorney Pamela Price was recalled in Alameda County, home to Oakland and Berkeley, less than two years after taking office following backlash for her alleged soft-on-crime approach. Vice President Harris clinched the county 75%-25%. “Across the battleground states and in Vice President Harris’ home state of California, a sizable share of Democrats voted to oust progressive prosecutors,” Sean Kennedy, the Law Enforcement Legal Defense Fund’s policy director, tells Fox News Digital. “The election results show that the soft-on-crime approach is not only a failed policy experiment, but also a political loser – even in deep blue areas. California’s Proposition 36, which sought to restore tough penalties for drugs and theft, easily passed with 70.4% of voters. Every single county in the state voted in favor of Prop 36. The defeats come after retail chains and mom-and-pop shops have been hit hard by theft, smash-and-grab robberies and organized retail crime gangs, while cities like San Francisco, Oakland and Los Angeles have been ravaged by rises in property crime and retail theft. LOS ANGELES DA GEORGE GASCON DEFENDS RECORD ON CRIME: ‘I KNOW HOW TO KEEP COMMUNITIES SAFE’ Kennedy says the voter backlash against soft-on-crime policies was especially acute in the battleground states. In Georgia, District Attorney of Athens-Clarke and Oconee Counties, Deborah Gonzalez, was tossed out by 20%. She represented the same county where nursing student Laken Riley was allegedly killed by an illegal migrant, who had been arrested and then released before the brutal crime. Gonzalez ran 16% behind Harris, who carried those counties 56.5% to Trump’s 43.5%. Meanwhile, traditional prosecutors in Arizona’s Maricopa County and Michigan’s Macomb County overperformed Trump’s margin of victory and beat back Soros-backed challengers, according to Kennedy. “In the most significant district attorney races, traditionally minded prosecutors got a larger share of the votes than either Donald Trump or Kamala Harris because one out of eight Harris voters backed the tough on crime candidate. It turns out public safety isn’t a partisan issue, it’s a common sense one.” However, there were wins for Soros-linked candidates, with Savannah’s progressive prosecutor Shalena Cook Jones holding on to her seat by 7%. In Florida, Soros-backed Monique Worrell reclaimed her position as the Orange-Osceola state attorney, beating out Andrew Bain by just over 5%. She was ousted last year by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for “dereliction of duty” on crime. However, another DeSantis foe, Andrew Warren, lost to Republican Suzy Lopez in Hillsborough County. DeSantis suspended Warren in August 2022 for refusing to enforce the state’s abortion ban. Kennedy says that out of the roughly 75 Soros-linked prosecutors nationwide his organization has since identified in 2022, over 30 have left office, and 20 have been replaced by traditional district attorneys.

Sen. Josh Hawley ‘delighted’ to back Sen. John Cornyn for Senate Majority Leader
Republican senators will select a new Senate GOP leader next week, and Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., has endorsed Sen. John Cornyn, R-Tx., for the role. GOP senators will vote via secret ballot on Wednesday, Nov. 13. “I’m backing John Cornyn for majority leader,” Hawley said in a statement. “In the last two years, nobody has done more to win back the majority than he has. He tirelessly raised millions of dollars for competitive Senate races, including mine. CORNYN TOUTS LIFETIME FUNDRAISING PROWESS FOR GOP IN FINAL CASE TO SUCCEED MCCONNELL “He has a heart for people: He has voiced his support for the RECA compromise that would fairly compensate hundreds of thousands of Americans poisoned by their government, including so many in Missouri,” Hawley continued. “And I know he will work closely and effectively with President Trump to deliver on the promise of our new majority. I’m delighted to give him my support,” he concluded. In addition to Cornyn, Republican Sens. Rick Scott of Florida and John Thune of South Dakota are both vying for the Senate GOP leader position. RICK SCOTT SEES RED WAVE AS ‘BEST CASE SCENARIO’ FOR SENATE LEADER BID AS HE LOBBIES TRUMP FOR SUPPORT Thune is currently the Senate Republican Whip, a role which Cornyn previously held. Scott has previously served as National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) chair. Republicans won the Senate majority in the 2024 election. Earlier this year, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. who has helmed the Senate GOP since 2007, announced that his current term as Senate Republican leader would be his last. TOP REPUBLICAN PRIVATELY BACKING THUNE TO SUCCEED MCCONNELL IN GOP LEADER RACE Scott, during an appearance on Fox Business’ “Kudlow,” said he hopes President-elect Donald Trump will support him for the role. Thune said during an appearance on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that he would prefer for Trump to “stay out” of the leadership race. Fox News Digital’s Julia Johnson contributed to this report.
Hochul has ‘very cordial’ call with Trump following combative press conference with AG James
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul says she called President-elect Trump on Thursday to “reaffirm” the pair can work together in areas like infrastructure where the state relies on federal funding. The call came a day after Hochul and Attorney General Letitia James held a combative press conference where James vowed to “fight back once again” against a Trump administration and defend the rights of New Yorkers and the rule of law. “It was a very cordial call, and listen, I said I’ll work with anybody,” Hochul said, at a post-election political event in Puerto Rico Friday, per Politico. She said it was an appropriate courtesy to congratulate the winner of an election. “I basically just reaffirmed there are areas we can work together, like infrastructure, where we rely on federal money, and he seems to share my priorities.” TRUMP HATING NY ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES VOWS WAR WITH PRESIDENT-ELECT IN DIVISIVE NEWS CONFERENCE New York relies on federal funding via the CHIPS and Science Act for its semiconductor plant near Syracuse, the future of which was thrown into doubt after Speaker Mike Johnson said Republicans would likely repeal the law, although he later walked back the comment. The Micron semiconductor plant could bring 50,000 jobs to Central New York, per Politico. The state also plans to extend the Second Avenue Subway in Manhattan and Hochul says she underlined the importance of federal funding for the MTA and upgrading Penn Station, the busiest transit hub in the country that has become a haven for the city’s homeless population. Hochul previously called it a “hell hole.” The plan to expand Penn Station would involve demolishing city blocks and could cost nearly $17 billion, according to the New York Post. The plan would run in tandem with the completion of the $16 billion Gateway Project involving the construction of a new tunnel linking New York and New Jersey and refurbishing existing century-old Penn tracks that were badly damaged by Superstorm Sandy in 2012. “I want Penn Station to be something that we’re all proud of. I said it can be beautiful. And he agreed,” she said of Trump. FORMER AIDE TO NEW YORK GOV HOCHUL, WHO IS ACCUSED OF BEING CHINESE SPY, WENT ON A TOUR OF THE WHITE HOUSE Federal funding for the MTA could hinge on support for Trump, while Hochul has floated implementing congestion pricing to help boost MTA coffers by $1 billion, but Trump previously vowed to terminate congestion pricing. The controversial proposal was shelved by Hochul over the summer weeks before it was expected to be implemented. The plan would impose $15 tolls on vehicles entering Lower Manhattan. The MTA received more than $15 billion in COVID-19 funding. At Trump’s Bronx rally in May, the president-elect vowed to “save” his home city and “turn it around very, very quickly.” But Hochul also said she would be “unrelenting in protecting the rights of New Yorkers.” On Wednesday, following Trump’s election win, Hochul and James vowed to protect New Yorkers against attacks on abortion, civil rights, immigration, gun control and LGBTQ rights. Prior to the election, Hochul said that if New Yorkers voted for Trump and the GOP, “you’re anti-woman, you’re anti-abortion, and basically you’re anti-American because you have just trashed American values and what our country is all about.” Fox News’ Greg Wehner contributed to this report.
