In a video shared Friday on his X account, Gutman recounted receiving a call from someone claiming to work in his bank’s “fraud protection” department. The caller introduced herself by name, provided a badge ID, and appeared to have detailed knowledge of his personal banking information. “They seemed to know so much about me, about my bank account,” Gutman said. “And then they said, ‘Listen, we suspect that there…

After a wave of democratic socialist primary wins, a faction of Democrats is fighting back — arguing capitalism has raised more people out of poverty than any system in history and vowing to reclaim the party from the left. “There’s a lot of us that don’t like what’s happening with the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America) — nobody’s organized,” Long Island Rep.
