'I DJed at the Crypto Ball for what, 30 minutes… Made a whole bunch of money, made a lot of relationships to help the inner city and teach financial literacy,' Snoop said. 'That's 30 minutes. I've been doing great things for the community for 30 years. So which one is it? 30 for 30?'
He insisted the event wasn't politically motivated. 'I don't represent the Republican Party. I don't represent the Democratic Party. I represent the gangster party. Period.' The booking, he explained, came through longtime business partner David Sacks and was part of a broader crypto initiative meant to bring resources 'back to the hood.' 'Cool, I'm with you! You're helping the hood out! How does [the hate] work when I'm tryna help y'all, but y'all talking [trash]?'
When online backlash followed, Snoop didn't hesitate to confront some of his critics. 'I would jump right in their DMs with a video like, 'You b**ch a** n**ga... What you wanna do?' And they'd be like, 'Oh man, I'm just a fan,'' he shared. 'Don't come for me if you don't know me.'
Snoop continued, 'My work should speak for me. Don't take my personal or my business [decisions] and try to involve it in my life or who I am as a person. The things that I do in real life should matter to you more.'
In the same interview, Snoop previewed his new album, Iz It A Crime (somewhat inspired by the aforementioned critiques), which will arrive on Friday (May 16) with an accompanying film. The LP will include features from Sexyy Red, Wiz Khalifa and others. He described his chemistry with Sexyy Red, revealing that their studio time turned into a week-long creative exchange.
'[She] is the home girl. I love her to death,' he said. 'She came back to the studio like a week straight and we just bonding like uncle and niece… She just reminds me of me. She just don't give a f**k.' The album will arrive after Altar Call, Snoop's recent gospel compilation, and Missionary, his joint release with Dr. Dre.

MAGA-ousted Dem senator from key swing state launches comeback campaign after losing seat in 2024: report
After losing his re-election bid in 2024, three-term Ohio Democratic senator Sherrod Brown will be launching a new bid next year to return to his position, according to a report. Brown's plans to run for Senate were shared with local media by three Ohio labor leaders who said that Brown had confided in them directly about the plans. Other Ohio Democrats also expressed to the outlet that they had heard of Brown's plan from members of his inner circle, and the reporting follows news that Brown has been interviewing campaign managers for his upcoming bid. Brown was ousted in 2024 by MAGA challenger and current freshman Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno, who came out victorious with 50.2% of the vote, compared to Brown's 46.4%. Senate Democrats Are Feverishly Recruiting Top Candidates To Win Back Majority In 2026 Midterms Despite the brushing defeat, Democratic Party Senate leader, Chuck Schumer, has reportedly lobbied Brown to run for months. If selected as the Democratic Party's candidate, Brown's likely GOP opponent would be Sen. Jon Husted, R-Ohio, who was appointed to fill Vice President J.D. Vance's seat after he left for the White House. A 2026 special election will decide who will serve out the remainder of Vance's term, which lasts until 2029. Read On The Fox News App "Should Brown enter the race as Schumer's handpicked candidate he will be starting in the biggest hole of his political career," said Tyson Shepard, spokesman for Husted's campaign. "He has never faced a candidate like Jon Husted. Brown's slogans will ring hollow as his coalition walks away, tired of the radical policies he's forced to support to appease his coastal bosses in California and New York." Bernie Sanders Addresses Whether He'll Run In 2028 Ohio, often seen as a key battleground state, has been trending towards Republicans. In 2024, President Donald Trump won the state by more than 10 percentage points. Since Brown left his position in the senate, he founded the Dignity of Work Institute, which says it is "dedicated to the people who make this country work, and to creating an economy and a society where Americans' work is valued." Brown, nor his representatives, could be reached for comment. Original article source: MAGA-ousted Dem senator from key swing state launches comeback campaign after losing seat in 2024: report

Zohran Mamdani takes aim at Trump's immigration policies in fiery Staten Island speech: 'We are fighting to keep NYC a sanctuary city'
Print Close By Deirdre Heavey Published August 13, 2025 New York City's Democratic mayoral nominee, Zohran Mamdani, brought his anti-Trump campaign swing to Staten Island on Wednesday, blasting President Donald Trump's signature immigration reform agenda. Trump was once again front-and-center in the race for Gracie Mansion on Wednesday as Mamdani continued his "Five Boroughs Against Trump" tour at the Istanbul Bay Authentic Mediterranean Restaurant on Staten Island. "As we gather here on an island, where nearly 1 in 4 were born outside of this country, an island where 30% of its residents speak a language other than English, it's an island that we know is not immune from this horrific crackdown. We are seeing from the Trump administration. We are seeing it and feeling it," Mamdani said. "And we know that it has nothing to do with safety. It has to do with punishment." While Trump campaigned for president last year on securing the border and deporting illegal immigrants, Mamdani is campaigning for mayor this year on protecting New York immigrant communities amid Trump's deportation rollout. Joined by Staten Island District Staten Island District Leader, Jasmine Robinson, Immigration Rights Activist, Yesenia Matas, and President of the Staten Island Democratic Association, Ali Ansari, Mamdani focused Wednesday's event on Trump's "horrific attacks on New York City's immigrant communities" in which he continues to "rip New Yorkers off the street without due process." MAMDANI ZINGS CUOMO IN RENT-STABILIZED HOUSING SPAT DURING ANTI-TRUMP TOUR STOP Mamdani said earlier this month that New York City and the United States are facing a "dark moment." He then called the Trump administration an "authoritarian government" and slammed ICE for "abduct[ing]" immigrants." According to Mamdani's campaign website, he is committed to "Trump-proofing NYC," by removing ICE from "all City facilities" and strengthening sanctuary city laws. ZOHRAN MAMDANI LAUNCHES ANTI-TRUMP TOUR ACROSS FIVE BOROUGHS IN NEW YORK CITY Resistance to Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration dominated headlines during New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, in which Mamdani handily won in June. Primary contender and New York City Comptroller Brad Lander—whom Mamdani cross-endorsed and campaigned with in the primary—was arrested by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents in June after being accused of assaulting a federal officer as he tried to escort a migrant from their federal immigration court hearing. While Lander ultimately faced no charges, the incident catapulted Trump's illegal immigration crackdown onto the New York City campaign trail. After being detained for several hours, Lander joined fellow primary candidates outside 26 Federal Plaza, an immigration facility in Manhattan, as Mamdani called the incident "fascism." It was one such instance of elected officials being detained by federal immigration officials as they protested Trump's deportations, including Newark mayor Ras Baraka in neighboring New Jersey. Sen. Alex Padilla of California was also forcibly removed and handcuffed by federal agents earlier this year when he shouted questions about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids at DHS Secretary Kristi Noem during a press conference. Protests rejecting ICE have erupted across the country this year, particularly in Los Angeles, where protests delved into riots, leading Trump to authorize the National Guard without Gov. Gavin Newsom's request – the first time in 60 years. During incumbent Mayor Eric Adams' tenure, New York City became an epicenter of the migrant crisis as President Joe Biden's administration lifted COVID-era Title 42 expulsions and Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, began sending busloads of migrants to New York City from his border state. As the situation unfolded, Adams began speaking out against Biden's immigration policies, calling New York City's migrant crisis a state of emergency. When Mamdani declared victory in the Democratic primary, he described his vision for New York City's future as a place "where the mayor will use their power to reject Donald Trump's fascism, to stop mass ICE agents from deporting our neighbors and to govern our city as a model for the Democratic Party." Meanwhile, Adams built a reputation during his tenure for challenging Biden's immigration policies while vowing to coordinate with Trump's illegal immigration crackdown, including working alongside Trump's border czar, Tom Homan. Adams has also cozied up to Trump since he was elected in November, visiting both Mar-a-Lago and the White House. Trump's Justice Department dropped bribery, wire fraud and conspiracy charges against Adams earlier this year. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP Gov. Kathy Hochul, D-N.Y., weighed removing Adams from office following a slew of City Hall resignations after Adams' case was dropped. Adams and former Gov. Andrew Cuomo are both running as independent candidates in New York City's mayoral race, and Curtis Sliwa is the Republican nominee. The election is on Nov. 4.
