Loser Democrat candidate makes an absurd claim about Republicans

This leftist needs to go into hiding. Their opinion is constantly wrong.

And a loser Democrat candidate made an absurd claim about Republicans.

Stacey Abrams is at it again, peddling the same tired scare tactics that the left loves to spew.

On Thursday’s edition of MS NOW’s “The Briefing,” Abrams claimed that Republicans have an intent to destroy democracy.

She framed routine redistricting in Tennessee as some grand conspiracy to wipe out black political power and drag the nation back to the Jim Crow era.

Host Michael Steele pressed her on the energy in Memphis, specifically the ninth Congressional District.

Abrams answered with a story about her own appearance before a Senate committee.

“I was there, I testified in front of the Senate committee, a committee that convened and passed a map. It had not yet drawn. The Senate minority leader, Raumesh Akbari, asked for a copy of the map and they said, well, we haven’t drawn it yet, but we know what we’re doing. And as you pointed out, they intended to dismantle black voting power because they intend to dismantle democracy. And I think it’s so important that we recognize that while they target black voters for their animus, their intention is to dismantle democracy for all of us,” she stated.

“They just start with the community they think is the easiest to attack. But what has always happened and what we saw happen that day, I testified that morning, but that evening I was in a church that was packed with more than 200 people who’d gathered to protest those maps, but also to start planning what could they do in response?”

“And what we know is that it’s taken them 61 years to get what they wanted, which is a return to Jim Crow, a return to a moment where the 15th amendment didn’t actually work for everyone in this country, but it took them 60 years to dismantle it. We don’t have 60 years to wait to rebuild it. Now is the time for us to believe that we not only have the power and the agency, we have the numbers.”

Abrams treats lawful redistricting—something both parties have practiced for generations—as an existential plot.

She insists the goal is not competitive districts or fair representation but the deliberate destruction of black voting strength as a first step toward crushing democracy itself.

Right-leaning voters have heard this song before. Every time a Republican-led state redraws lines after a census, the same voices cry foul and reach for the most extreme historical comparisons available.

Abrams herself has a long record of claiming elections are stolen or systems are rigged whenever the outcome does not go her way.

After losing the Georgia governor’s race twice, she built an entire public brand around the idea that the machinery of democracy is permanently stacked against her side.

Moderate Democrats just got kicked out of the Democrat Party

Moderate Democrats just got kicked out of the Democrat Party

The Left is undergoing a massive change. And it’s crazier than you think.

Now moderate Democrats just got kicked out of the Democrat Party.

Michigan’s Democratic primary was supposed to settle one nomination fight. Instead, it’s poured gasoline on a party-wide civil war that now shifts to Wisconsin and Minnesota, where progressive candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America and Sens. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are threatening to repeat El-Sayed’s playbook — and giving Republicans fresh ammunition to paint the entire party as out of step with mainstream voters.

Abdul El-Sayed’s narrow victory over more moderate Rep. Haley Stevens this week has emboldened the party’s left flank ahead of primaries next Tuesday that will decide a top-tier Senate race in Minnesota and a pivotal governor’s race in Wisconsin, both states Republicans see as ripe for pickup.

Progressive Momentum Builds Beyond Michigan

“Michigan proved that working people are ready for something different, and Wisconsin is next,” Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong wrote following El-Sayed’s win. Hong, a state representative and self-identified Democratic Socialists of America member, currently leads the polling for the Democratic nomination and is backed by prominent progressives including Reps. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota and Ro Khanna of California.

Hong’s platform includes guaranteed paid leave and a one-year moratorium on new AI data centers in Wisconsin. She has also faced renewed scrutiny over old social media posts calling for defunding and abolishing police departments — positions she now says she no longer holds. The winner of the Democratic primary is expected to face Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany, the commanding frontrunner for the GOP nomination in the race to replace retiring Gov. Tony Evers.

In Minnesota, the same ideological rift is playing out between progressive Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan — backed by Sanders and Warren — and more moderate Rep. Angie Craig, as both compete for the Democratic nomination to succeed retiring Sen. Tina Smith.

Establishment Democrats Sound The Alarm

Not everyone in the party is cheering the leftward shift. A Wisconsin-based Democratic strategist, granted anonymity to speak candidly, warned that a Hong nomination “will hurt Democrats down ballot, in key congressional and legislative races” across the battleground state — a concern echoed privately by Democrats worried that a Flanagan win in Minnesota could hand Republicans an opening in a state the GOP hasn’t carried in a presidential race in decades.

The stakes are difficult to overstate: more than $80 million was poured into the Michigan Senate primary alone, making it the most expensive Democratic Senate nomination fight in American history, much of it spent by outside groups — including the AIPAC-aligned United Democracy Project — trying to stop El-Sayed. Progressive strategist Adam Green, co-founder of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, argued the outcome proved the left’s staying power regardless: “any win against $60 million dollars of outside spending by AIPAC and corporate interests is a giant win and sets us on a path of proving our case in November to shake up the system.”

Republicans Sense An Opening Heading Into November

El-Sayed’s win wasn’t an isolated data point. Sunrise Movement co-founder William Lawrence narrowly won a competitive primary in Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, and state Rep. Donovan McKinney — backed by Sanders, El-Sayed and House “Squad” members — upset sitting Rep. Shri Thanedar in Michigan’s 13th District. The left did suffer one high-profile loss, however, as former Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri, a DSA member, was routed by Rep. Wesley Bell in a St. Louis rematch.

Taken together, Republicans argue the results validate their midterm strategy of tying every Democrat on the ballot to the party’s most progressive flank. Vice President JD Vance made that case directly this week on Fox News’ “The Ingraham Angle,” arguing that “the base of the Democratic Party just wants radicals. It wants these DSA types, it wants people who hate even the idea of private property ownership.” President Trump has gone further still, routinely labeling the party’s progressive wing “communists.”

Whether that message resonates with general-election voters — or whether it’s Democratic moderates who end up paying the price for their own party’s leftward drift — will be tested in Wisconsin and Minnesota next week, and ultimately at the ballot box in November.

Trump’s helicopter entered uncharted territory in a terrifying run-in

Donald Trump’s life is at risk seemingly all the time. But this is inexcusable.

Now Trump’s helicopter entered uncharted territory in a terrifying run-in.

What Actually Happened in the Skies Over Washington on Tuesday

Two aircraft. One shared patch of sky near Reagan National Airport. And now, two federal agencies trying to figure out exactly how close things really got.

It happened as President Trump was leaving the White House aboard Marine One, headed for Joint Base Andrews and, eventually, Los Angeles. At almost the same time, a commercial airliner was climbing out of Reagan National. For a brief window, the two aircraft came closer together than FAA rules allow — a “loss of separation,” in aviation terms, meaning they broke the required three-mile buffer for planes flying at the same altitude within 40 miles of an Airport Surveillance Radar antenna.

The FAA’s account of what followed is notably specific: “Based on our preliminary safety review, there was momentary loss of separation, after which the aircraft continued to move away from one another. The air traffic controller was in contact with both the commercial pilot and Marine One pilot during the loss of separation. As the White House has said, the president was never in danger. We are continuing to review the incident and will implement any appropriate corrective actions based on our findings.”

Who’s Investigating, and What They’re Saying

The NTSB confirmed Wednesday afternoon that it opened a formal inquiry, posting on X that it is “investigating a reported loss of separation event between Marine One and a commercial aircraft departing DCA that occurred on Aug. 4.”

The White House, for its part, wasted no time putting the episode in context. “Marine One flights are piloted by some of the best aviators in the world, and at no point was the president in harm’s way,” spokesman Kush Desai said.

Reached for comment, the Secret Service pointed reporters back to the White House and FAA statements rather than adding anything new. That leaves two open threads: the NTSB’s formal investigation into how the loss of separation occurred, and the FAA’s own safety review, which officials say could still result in corrective action once complete. Neither agency has offered a timeline for when either review might wrap up.

Bernie Sanders reveals a disgusting stance on this vile, anti-American leftist

Sanders continues to say asinine things. It’s a concerning trend.

And Bernie Sanders reveals a disgusting stance on this vile, anti-American leftist.

Bernie Sanders just reminded everyone why the radical left remains a toxic force in American politics.

On a recent appearance on CNN, the Vermont independent once again chose the side of the most extreme voices over basic patriotism and common sense.

Host Abby Phillip pressed him on the close ties between progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed and the far-left streamer Hasan Piker.

She asked, “Are you comfortable with El-Sayed having a close association with him, given some of his past statements, to give you an example, one of the more controversial ones is that Piker has said America deserved 9/11. Are you comfortable with that association?”

“No, I am not. And I think that’s a dumb statement. On the other hand, he has a whole lot of followers, and there are a lot of things that he’s saying that are making sense to a lot of people. I think we have to get above cancel culture,” Sanders said.

“When you’re doing radio, whatever they do, podcasts three hours a day, you say dumb things. I suspect if you go back over your career, there may be one or two things that you’ve said that you may have regretted. But I think what we have got to do is look at the totality of where people are coming from and go forward.”

That is the softest possible defense of a man who claimed the United States deserved the worst terrorist attack in its history.

According to Sanders, Piker’s massive audience and the occasional sensible-sounding rant somehow outweigh open contempt for the country that gave him a platform.

Phillip followed up by pointing to Democratic strategist James Carville, who has said he wants no part of a party that includes figures like Piker.

She asked Sanders which side he would choose. His answer was pure progressive arrogance:

“Well, that’s not much of a choice. If Mr. Carville doesn’t want to be in my party, the party that I belong to, that Piker, that El-Sayed belongs to, he can start his own party.”

In other words, the longtime Democratic operative who helped elect Bill Clinton can leave.

The streamer who cheered 9/11 stays. Sanders made the hierarchy crystal clear.

Mike Pence makes one demand of President Trump that he can’t ignore

Pence and Trump aren’t on the best terms. But that isn’t stopping the former VP from speaking his mind.

And Mike Pence made one demand of President Trump that he can’t ignore.

Former Vice President Mike Pence delivered a clear message this week that America cannot afford endless hesitation when dealing with the Iranian regime.

Appearing recently on Fox New’s “America’s Newsroom,” Pence called on President Donald Trump to take decisive action and finish what has already begun.

Host Bill Hemmer opened the discussion by referencing a recent Fox poll on Iran:

“I want to ask you about Iran. We had a Fox poll that came out about two weeks ago. We asked the question on the ultimate outcome with Iran. The U.S. will reach what good deal, bad deal or no deal. And 48% said no deal. What’s your view?”

“Well, I have more confidence in President Trump than that. I think the Iranians should be very wary at this moment,” Pence said in response.

“Look, I strongly supported the president’s decision to use military force last year. And this year, striking Iran, really for the first time in 47 years, after they voted for continuous war against the United States and the West all those years. But honestly, I think the president, after that first month where our military did a brilliant job taking down 13,000 military sites.”

“I think the president has tried to create room for diplomacy. He’s done that again over this weekend, even as we’re marshaling military assets across the region.”

The former vice president made plain that patience has limits. He argued that the moment has arrived for full-strength American power to be applied against the remaining threats.

“But I honestly think that the time has come for the president of the United States to unleash the armed forces of the United States, strike the remaining nuclear facilities in Iran, take down and degrade their ability to project force not only in the strait, but across the region,” Pence continued.

The former VP drove the point home with a principle that every serious leader should understand:

“Look, one does not make peace with one’s enemy. One makes peace with one’s defeated enemy. And given their posture and their attitudes and even denying that negotiations are happening, I have every confidence that there will come a moment where my old running mate has had enough, and we ought to turn loose so you can. Right. US military in the world.”

He reminded viewers of the character of the man he served alongside:

“The president I served with is a man of action. He leads from the front. I don’t think you can understate the significance of his decision last year to strike around directly for the first time in the history of our relationship with the regime. In Tehran, unleashing our armed forces in operation at was historic. But now we’ve got to let our armed forces and our ally, Israel, finish the job, and I believe we can.”

For years the Iranian regime has sponsored terror, threatened shipping lanes, and chased nuclear weapons while American administrations mixed threats with half-measures.

That pattern ends when strength is applied without apology. Pence’s words reject the failed idea that endless talks will somehow change the nature of a regime dedicated to America’s destruction.

US cyberattack leads to deadly civilian plane crash

US cyberattack leads to deadly civilian plane crash

It wasn’t supposed to go down like this. And now we’re picking up the pieces.

Because a US cyberattack led to a deadly civilian plane crash.

Military GPS Jamming Test Linked to Medevac Crash That Killed All Four Aboard

A civilian medevac flight that took off from Roswell, New Mexico, this past May flew directly into a military training operation that disabled its navigation capabilities — and by the time the crew got their GPS back online, it was too late. The plane crashed into the Capitan Mountains, killing all four people on board instantly.

A Routine Flight Turns Fatal

The flight should have been an easy one: 60 miles from Roswell to Ruidoso to pick up a patient, flown by pilots who, though relatively new, were well-qualified. Captain Keelan Clark, 30, had earned his commercial pilot’s license a year and a half earlier, and first officer Ali Kawsara, 23, had previously worked cargo flights. Two nurses were also aboard. Medevac flights are often inherently riskier than most civilian flight operations, and this one ended in tragedy for everyone involved.

The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the role military GPS jamming may have played in the crash. Shortly after takeoff from Roswell airport, one of the pilots reported to an air traffic controller that they had lost GPS capability; three other aircraft crews reported similar problems. An air traffic controller asked the military at nearby White Sands Missile Range to pause its GPS interference testing. The military halted jamming for a few minutes but resumed after the controller reported the plane had a visual fix on its destination. The aircraft crashed five minutes later. The NTSB’s preliminary report does not state whether controllers informed the pilots of either the pause in jamming or its resumption.

Warning Signs Long Before the Crash

This marks the first time the NTSB has cited GPS jamming as a potential factor in an air-safety investigation, but White Sands has long been linked to disruptions in civilian aviation more than 500 kilometers around the base, reaching into neighboring states and even Mexico. The site is one of the Army’s primary centers for testing in GPS-denied environments and for developing its own jamming and spoofing technologies.

A previous investigation into GPS jamming had already documented worrying reports of near misses in the White Sands region, along with data showing aircraft flying off course, entering military airspace by accident, and losing their ability to navigate. Air traffic controllers responsible for the surrounding airspace had also reported becoming overworked during testing and expressed confusion over when they could request a “stop buzzer” — a temporary pause in jamming for safety reasons. One controller wrote in a 2021 anonymous safety report that requests to stop jamming were routinely refused: “Refusing to stop buzzer is commonplace.” Another controller warned in 2024, months before the fatal crash, that continued delays in halting jamming were “a danger to the flying public.”

According to one source familiar with the matter, FAA managers reportedly told controllers that pausing a GPS test at White Sands costs the military between $5 million and $10 million each time — a financial disincentive that safety advocates say may have contributed to the reluctance to halt testing when pilots reported trouble.

Aviation expert Juan Browne described the terrifying moment pilots in similar situations realize their instruments have failed them: “When those lights go out, man, you know you are in big trouble.”

Investigation Continues as Testing Resumes

Todd Humphreys, director of the Radionavigation Laboratory at the University of Texas at Austin, explained that some tests at White Sands involve spoofing GPS signals to generate inaccurate location data, prompting the Army to place powerful jammers at the range’s perimeter to drown out the spoofed signals and protect civilian aircraft from being misled. It is likely this “cover jamming” that the medevac plane and other aircraft experienced in May. “The jamming coming from White Sands is intense,” Humphreys said. “It goes all the way up to low Earth orbit and even affects satellites up there.”

The military does issue advance notices to warn pilots of upcoming tests, and backup systems exist for pilots and controllers to help cope with disruptions. Still, the number of aircraft affected by GPS signal loss nationwide doubled between 2021 and 2024, according to industry data, underscoring a growing tension between military testing needs and civilian aviation safety.

The NTSB generally aims to complete full investigations within two years, and the agency has cautioned it would be premature to characterize the significance of GPS jamming in the crash while it continues examining the aircraft, avionics, weather, and air traffic control data. In the meantime, GPS interference testing at White Sands has continued, with jamming scheduled for at least 12 days since the fatal crash in May.

Dr. Fauci put through a wall by this Trump official

Fauci is an American villain. There’s no other way to put it.

And Dr. Fauci was put through a wall by this Trump official.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. delivered a direct challenge to the media’s long-standing defense of pandemic orthodoxy during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

He stated that Dr. Fauci lied “about everything.”

Kennedy pressed the point:

“All you know how to do is repeat things that people told you and say trust the experts that what you do, during Covid now we know that Anthony Fauci who was the expert was lying about everything about mass and how to social distancing about natural immunity about transmission from vaccine about this source of covet he is lying and you are punishing people for not trusting experts and now you’re rolling out the experts again let’s talk about something they have no personal knowledge.”

The exchange quickly turned to the question of COVID shots for children. Kennedy asked the host, “You think the COVID vaccine protected children?”

Dana Bash replied, “I think that what I have to talked to scientists and doctors—”

Kennedy cut through the deflection: “Can you show me one study that shows that children were protected by the COVID vaccine?”

Bash shifted to a talking point about lives supposedly lost to “disinformation.”

“I can tell you that when it comes to the vaccine there have been studies that show that because of vaccine disinformation, disinformation there could have been a hundred to two hundred thousand lives in the U.S. saved. But because people didn’t get the vaccine, that’s why — I’m not saying that it entirely… let me finish,” she stated.

Kennedy rejected the claim on the spot:

“You are saying nonsense! You are saying something that you cannot show me a single study that says that.”

“I am not saying nonsense! Excuse me! Excuse me,” Bash responded.

Kennedy kept the demand simple and concrete: “Cite me the study! What study?”

The CNN host answered, “What studies are you talking about? You’re actually talking about studies that actually don’t exist.”

For years the public was told to accept every decree from the same circle of officials without question.

Masks, distancing rules, claims about natural immunity, assertions about vaccine transmission, and the origin story itself were all presented as settled science.

Kennedy’s appearance made clear that those assurances did not hold up under scrutiny.

Chuck Schumer was utterly humiliated after being asked one simple question

Chuck Schumer was utterly humiliated after being asked one simple question

Schumer is losing his grasp on power. The cracks are starting to show.

And now Chuck Schumer was utterly humiliated after being asked one simple question.

Schumer Refuses to Say Whether Democrats Should Reject Party’s Socialist Wing

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer dodged a direct question Wednesday about whether the Democratic Socialists of America’s platform has a place in the Democratic Party, opting instead for vague talking points as the party’s socialist wing continues notching primary victories nationwide.

Schumer Sidesteps Direct Question on Abolishing the Senate

“[The] bottom line is Democrats from one end of the spectrum to the other are going to be working to defeat Trump, to bring down costs, to go after his corruption and to end the chaos,” Schumer said at a leadership news conference when pressed by Fox News.

The Senate minority leader did not elaborate on whether he agreed with the DSA’s call to abolish the Senate, an institution he currently hopes to lead as majority leader if Democrats retake control in November.

DSA’s Radical Platform Puts Schumer’s Own Political Future at Risk

The Senate has frequently drawn criticism from socialists for giving equal representation to all states regardless of population and for its 60-vote threshold requiring bipartisan consensus. The abolition proposal is part of the DSA’s recent platform, “Workers Deserve More,” which also calls for scrapping the presidency and the Supreme Court in favor of representatives “chosen by” and “subordinate to” a unicameral Congress, along with abolishing police and prisons, defunding the Department of War, and dismantling capitalism.

Schumer’s evasive answer comes as his own path to power increasingly collides with the socialist movement’s growing strength. After DSA-backed candidates upset Democratic incumbents in New York City and Colorado this year, the group is working to keep its winning streak alive in upcoming primaries in Missouri and Michigan. If far-left Michigan Senate hopeful Abdul El-Sayed wins his hotly contested primary, Schumer’s hopes of becoming majority leader could hinge on his ability to win a general election in November — with Schumer having already thrown his support behind the more moderate Rep. Haley Stevens, D-Mich., instead.

Schumer himself could also face a primary threat from his party’s far-left flank if he seeks reelection in 2028.

DSA Co-Chair Confirms Radical Positions as Even Fellow Democrats Object

DSA co-chair Megan Romer affirmed the group’s support for these sweeping proposals during a recent interview with “Fox News Sunday,” when Fox News’ Shannon Bream asked her directly whether she was advocating for abolishing the Senate.

“True,” Romer responded. Asked whether the group wanted to “replace the presidency and Supreme Court as we now know them,” Romer said, “Yep.” Asked about abolishing ICE, she replied, “Absolutely.”

Even some moderate Democrats have called on the party to draw a clearer line against the DSA. “This isn’t a big tent—it’s anarchy,” Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., wrote on social media this week. “Why can’t Dems call out the DSA?”

Whether party leaders like Schumer continue to sidestep the question or finally take a clear stance will likely shape how Democrats are perceived heading into the November midterms.

The GOP has one silver bullet that could win the midterms

The GOP has one silver bullet that could win the midterms

Democrats are overplaying their hand. And it could get ugly.

Now the GOP has one silver bullet that could win the midterms.

The House has adjourned for the summer, but House Republicans are far from finished — they’re using the break to educate voters on just how far left the Democratic Party’s rising crop of candidates has drifted, betting the contrast will help the GOP defend its narrow majority in November.

Republicans Frame Midterms as a Choice Between Freedom and Communism

“We’re going to have a lot to talk about during this break,” said House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La. “The contrast on the ballot this November between communism and freedom.”

“The reality is that the communist caucus, the commie caucus is coming to Congress,” said Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y.

Republicans hope to cling to their majority by drawing a sharp line between themselves and the wave of Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates who have swept primaries in New York City and even Colorado. The GOP believes these far-left candidates alarm independents and mainstream Democrats alike, and is banking on that dynamic as an insurance policy heading into the fall.

House Republicans also notched wins last week, advancing a host of priority bills while forcing Democrats to go on the record on measures the GOP believes it can use against them this fall.

“They have to answer for why they voted against funding our troops, against funding the government, against common sense policies like voter ID and proof of citizenship,” said House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La.

The House approved a plan barring stock trades by members, 232-198, with only 13 Democrats joining all Republicans in support after the GOP added a voter ID mandate to the bill. Democrats argued the provision turned a once-bipartisan issue into a political wedge.

“I proudly voted no because we are not going to sabotage mail-in voting in this country. And we’re not going to fall for that kind of bait-and-switch tactic here,” said Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

Democrats Struggle to Offer a Clear Plan on Iran War

President Trump has paused the air campaign against Iran after two weeks of consecutive bombing, and the conflict presents Democrats with a potential political opening — though one they’ve struggled to capitalize on with a coherent alternative.

Asked whether Democrats would recalibrate their messaging on Iran heading into the midterms, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., insisted no shift was needed: “We don’t have to recalibrate our message. We’ve been opposed to Donald Trump’s reckless and costly war of choice in the Middle East from the very beginning.”

The House voted last week to rein in the president’s Iran war powers, with four Republicans defecting to side with Democrats, though the Senate rejected the measure hours later. Trump allies argued the House vote undercut American forces in harm’s way.

“To belittle this mission is to belittle and demean the very service these members who gave their lives,” said House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast, R-Fla.

Despite Democrats’ criticism of the president’s handling of Iran, they remain vague on what they would do differently. When pressed on whether Democrats had a plan to end the conflict, Jeffries replied, “We’ve got to figure that out. But Donald Trump got us into this mess,” before declining to elaborate further. Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., one of the party’s more thoughtful voices on foreign policy, offered a similarly noncommittal response: “I wouldn’t have gotten into this war.”

GOP Confident History Won’t Repeat Itself

Unlike Democrats’ successful 2006 midterm campaign against the Iraq War, which came with a clear plan to wind down the conflict, Republicans note that today’s Democrats appear to lack a comparable strategy for Iran nearly two decades later — leaving them, in the GOP’s view, with only one consistent message this fall: blaming President Trump.

Democratic Socialist Co-Chair admits her terrible plan for America

This country is at a crossroads. And the time for action is now.

And the Democratic Socialist Co-Chair admitted her terrible plan for America.

The national co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America stunned viewers Sunday by proudly confirming a sweeping list of the organization’s radical policy goals — including abolishing the U.S. Senate, eliminating prisons and doing away with national borders — drawing rebukes from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

DSA Co-Chair Confirms Radical Platform Point by Point

Speaking to Fox News’ Shannon Bream, DSA national co-chair Megan Romer fired off a series of “yes” and “true” responses when asked whether the organization’s platform calls for dismantling major American institutions.

“[You’re advocating for] abolish[ing] the Senate?” Bream asked.

“True,” Romer responded.

Romer also affirmed the organization’s support for replacing the presidency and Supreme Court, abolishing ICE, eventually eliminating national borders while granting amnesty to people living in the country illegally, defunding the Pentagon, phasing out prisons and shifting most large corporations to public ownership. She said some proposals, including abolishing borders and prisons, are part of the organization’s long-term vision.

Republicans and Even a Democrat Sound the Alarm

The comments triggered swift backlash. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, wrote, “These people are insane.”

House Speaker Mike Johnson posted, “Read their platform: Abolish the Senate, the Presidency, the Supreme Court and immigration enforcement. Open the border wide. Grant mass amnesty. Defund the Pentagon. The barbarians are inside the gate—and Democrats are WELCOMING them in! Communism is no longer a far-fetched threat. It is here on our SHORES! This isn’t just Common Sense vs. Crazy anymore. It’s Common Sense vs. COMMUNISM.”

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, R-La., warned, “The DSA isn’t just gaining influence in New York or California. Bernie Sanders- and Mamdani-backed candidates are winning races across the country. Watch this clip closely. These ideas could be coming to your community sooner than you think.”

Notably, the criticism wasn’t confined to Republicans. Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. John Fetterman also called out Romer’s comments on X, writing, “This isn’t a big tent—it’s anarchy. Why can’t Dems call out the DSA?”

Investor Bill Ackman, an outspoken critic of New York City’s socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, added, “This is insane. How can anyone vote for a @DemSocialists member unless you are an anarchist?”

Wisconsin GOP Candidate Ties DSA Rhetoric to Democratic Gubernatorial Hopeful

Tom Tiffany, a Republican running for governor in Wisconsin, said Romer’s remarks echoed the positions of democratic socialist Francesca Hong, who is running in the state’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, writing that Hong has supported abolishing police, abolishing prisons and abolishing the Senate.

A spokesperson for Hong pushed back, telling Fox News Digital that “Tom Tiffany is once again telling lies and inventing quotes” and that Hong “has never called for abolishing the U.S. Senate,” though the spokesperson acknowledged Hong has spoken about police and prison abolition “as an aspirational goal” in the past. Hong’s campaign website lists the Milwaukee, Northeast Wisconsin and Madison DSA chapters among her endorsements.

Socialist Momentum Continues to Build Nationally

The controversy comes as socialist platforms and campaigns continue gaining traction nationally, including in New York, where two House candidates backed by Mamdani defeated incumbent progressive lawmakers and are likely headed to victory in November, while a third open House race saw a Mamdani-backed candidate defeat an establishment-backed Democrat. The DSA did not immediately return Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

Arizona’s Hobbs Torched for “Drunken Sailor” Spending as Campaign Burns Through Cash Ahead of Midterms

Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs’ reelection campaign spent nearly three times what it raised in the second quarter of 2026, burning through more than $7.4 million in three months as a prominent Arizona GOP activist accused the battleground incumbent of “spending like a drunken sailor” to prop up a struggling campaign.

Hobbs Campaign Burns Through Cash at Alarming Rate

Campaign finance records reviewed by Fox News Digital show Hobbs’ campaign began the second-quarter filing period with roughly $7.18 million cash on hand, raised about $2.64 million, spent more than $7.44 million, and ended the quarter with just $2.38 million in the bank. Much of the spending went toward communications, TV advertising and outside campaign consulting firms.

“She’s spending like a drunken sailor. And drunken sailors typically don’t spend smart,” Turning Point USA chief operating officer, former Maricopa County GOP chair and seventh-generation Arizonan Tyler Bowyer told Fox News Digital. “When you’re spending that much money on consultants and TV and paid messaging, that tells me there isn’t a lot of organic energy behind the campaign.”

Bowyer said the filing reflects a broader challenge for Democrats in Arizona and nationally, calling Hobbs’ campaign spending more than it raised “a huge problem” for an incumbent Democrat in a battleground state, and pointed to a heavy reliance on paid media and consultants over grassroots organizing as a red flag for the campaign’s underlying strength heading into November.

GOP Sees Opening as Hobbs Heads Toward Rematch With Trump-Backed Challenger

Hobbs, who narrowly won the governor’s office in 2022 against then-Republican challenger Kari Lake, won her uncontested primary this week and will face Trump-backed Republican nominee Rep. Andy Biggs, R-Ariz., in the general election. Biggs’ campaign seized on Hobbs’ spending numbers earlier this month, accusing the incumbent governor of “lighting” $7.4 million “on fire” and highlighting what it described as a 281% Q2 burn rate.

Hobbs campaign manager Nicole DeMont pushed back on the criticism, telling Fox News Digital: “While Andy Biggs’ campaign is floundering and stuck defending his decision to side with a pedophile cult over protecting women and children, we’re proud of the strong support we’ve received from grassroots donors in all 15 Arizona counties. We’re going to continue using those resources to reach Arizonans across the state in both English and Spanish through face-to-face conversations, community organizing, and on their TVs, local radio stations, and digital platforms.”

Bowyer Says Spending Spree Reflects Broader National Democratic Weakness

Bowyer also cast Hobbs’ burn rate as symptomatic of a larger problem for national Democrats, arguing the party is spending aggressively just to keep pace with Republicans heading into the midterms even though Democrats are the party out of power in Washington and would typically expect the president’s party to face tougher headwinds.

He added that Hobbs’ cash position matters beyond her own campaign because Arizona lacks a Senate race this cycle to help drive Democratic fundraising and turnout infrastructure down the ballot.

“If the governor doesn’t have money, then a lot of candidates down ballot won’t have a ton of money,” Bowyer said, arguing Democrats often rely on federal races as a “crutch” to support campaigns lower on the ticket.

Bowyer framed the stakes in stark terms for conservatives well beyond Arizona’s borders, calling on Republicans to invest now in the battleground state to build the organization and funding needed for the 2028 presidential map.

“Right now, we’re in the battle of our lives for what 2030 and beyond will look like,” Bowyer said. “We may look back at 2026 and realize that was the pivot point where we saved America ahead of 2028, or we lost America for good.”

Pete Buttigieg was asked one question that left him squirming

Buttigieg didn’t do so great under Biden’s administration. Nothing has changed.

Because Pete Buttigieg was asked one question that left him squirming.

Former Transportation Secretary and potential 2028 candidate Pete Buttigieg drew sharp criticism from a former RNC chairman Friday after he sidestepped repeated opportunities to disavow the rise of socialism inside the Democratic Party, instead coining a new label for himself: a “Buttigieg Democrat.”

Buttigieg Refuses to Directly Confront DSA Agenda

Speaking on “America Reports,” Buttigieg declined to directly address questions about Democratic Socialists of America policies, such as abolishing the Senate and ending deportations, instead pivoting to criticize President Donald Trump’s foreign policy and economic record.

“Look, there’s always going to be some people in my party who go too far for me, people I disagree with. If you pick the five or 10 or 15 furthest-left people in our party, they’re going to, by definition, disagree with a lot of others. But there’s so much that we do, in fact, agree on,” Buttigieg said.

“I think one of the reasons why you see people who run on a promise of shaking it up, whether it’s a DSA candidate on the left or whether it’s someone like Donald Trump, is because people can tell that the system we have is not just showing its age — it’s letting us down,” he added.

When pressed on where he falls on the Democratic spectrum, Buttigieg avoided a direct label altogether.

“I’m a Pete Buttigieg Democrat. I think I’m a common-sense Democrat, but of course everybody thinks that their ideas are common sense to them,” he said.

Former RNC Chair Says Buttigieg Ducked the Real Question

Fox News political analyst Reince Priebus, who served as RNC chairman and Trump White House chief of staff, argued Buttigieg was refusing to confront the socialist wing of his own party, calling the interview an example of mainstream Democrats aligning themselves with “people that are far outside the mainstream.”

“The opponent, the Democrats from where Pete Buttigieg is at, is aligning itself with people that are far outside the mainstream. They’re on the wrong side of normal, and he didn’t really address that when he was pressed,” Priebus said. “And that’s the big question for him.”

Priebus’ warning comes after a wave of self-described democratic socialists notched major primary victories in recent months, including in New York and Colorado. Melat Kiros, a DSA-backed newcomer, pulled off an upset over longtime Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette in Denver’s heavily Democratic district, while a slate of far-left candidates backed by New York City’s socialist mayor, Zohran Mamdani, won primary elections in June, including newcomer Darializa Avila Chevalier’s defeat of Rep. Adriano Espaillat and Brad Lander’s ouster of Rep. Dan Goldman.

Buttigieg Sits Atop 2028 Polling Alongside AOC, Insists He’s Not Running

A University of New Hampshire Granite State Poll published this week places Buttigieg neck-and-neck with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., in a potential 2028 Democratic primary match-up. Ocasio-Cortez, when asked earlier this month about DSA proposals like abolishing the Senate, called it a “constitutional question” and noted, “we’ve all got our complaints.”

Despite the speculation, Buttigieg insisted Friday he was not laying groundwork for a White House run.

“I’m not running for anything,” he said. “I’m helping people who are because this is a very important election where people are seeing that their everyday lives — from the price of gas to healthcare, is on the line — and a lot of people who generally prefer a Republican president still want to see some kind of balance, some kind of check, some kind of restraint, and are considering maybe for the first time in a long time, voting for a Democrat for Congress.”
