The Colorful Mr. George Santos
Despite the frigid 40-degree temperature, Yorkers went to the polls today to elect Tom Suozzi to represent them in Congress.
Early polls indicated that Congressman Tom Suozzi and political newcomer Mazi Philip were in a close race. The spread was 40 to 44 in favor of Suozzi, who was familiar to Washington.
In 2016, 2018, and 2020, Suozzi represented New Yorkers from the 3rd District.
In 2022, Suozzi vacated his seat to challenge the incumbent, Gov. Kathy Hochul. In 2021, Hochul became governor of New York State by default after claims of sexual harassment forced Governor Andrew Cuomo from his office.
The Democratic Congressman Tom Suozzi’s challenge came from Ethiopian political Cameleon Mazi Pilip.

Ethiopian Mazi Pilip Lost Her Bid For Congress
Ms. Pilip was among those 14,325 Ethiopians rescued by the Israeli government in 1991. Ms. Pilip is a member of the Nassau County Legislature, 10th District.
Ms. Pilip and other Ethiopians who moved to Israel object to being called a derogatory term like “Falasha.” She has served in the Israeli Military and holds dual citizenship. She has seven children with her husband.
On Tuesday, the House of Representatives voted to impeach Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas by a 213 to 214 margin.
Mayorkas is swimming way out of his depth.
Congress accused Mayorkas of leaving the Southern Border unprotected. Mayorkas has caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Americans via Fentanyl. In 2022, there were 73,654 fentanyl overdose deaths in the US, which is more than twice the number of deaths in 2019 under President Trump’s administration.
For those who say there is no case against Mayorkas: Tell that to the families of near 74 thousand Americans who died from Fentanyl overdose in 2022 alone.
With 90 percent of the votes in, Tom Suozzi is leading Mazi Pilip by 13,000 votes.
