Two days after progressive lawmaker Chris Rabb pulled off a primary win in Pennsylvania's 3rd Congressional District, the city's like-minded district attorney is calling for new Democratic leadership. ---SNIP--- "The Democratic Party in Philadelphia for far too long has spent more time fighting against progressives, fighting against its future than they have spent fighting against Republicans, fighting against fascists, fighting against Donald Trump," Krasner says in the video.

A Democrat member of the Pennsylvania state House of Representatives has introduced a bill to require mandatory vasectomies for men over the age of 40, or who have already fathered three children, "whichever comes first." The bill would also enable women to take "civil action" against those who "wrongfully conceive" with them. The bill would "codify 'wrongful conception' to include when a person has demonstrated negligence toward preventing conception during intercourse."

A Washington-based super PAC that has spent a staggering $3.5 million to support physician Ala Stanford for an open Philadelphia congressional seat pulled its television advertising off the air this week with just days left until the election. That is according to media tracking firm AdImpact, which shows that the “pro-science” political action committee, 314 Action Fund, spent hundreds of thousands of dollars a week to air pro-Stanford TV commercials through much of March and April. However, that changed last week. The group has spent virtually nothing on television since May 5, according to AdImpact, and has not reserved any...

Democrats still searching for a way out of the rubble of the 2024 election got a peek in Tuesday’s primaries of what their voters want for the future. The races spanned a mix of competitive and safe-blue seats across six states — including a pair of crucial swing states. The result: A slate of disparate candidates who won’t give them a much clearer sense of their future. State Rep. Chris Rabb, a progressive firebrand and self-styled “rabble-rouser,” won the open primary for the bluest House district in the country in Philadelphia. In a nearby Pennsylvania House battleground, Democrats nominated Bob...

Rep. Chris Rabb, a Democrat in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, has introduced a bill that “will require all inseminators to undergo vasectomies within 6 weeks from having their third child or 40th birthday, whichever comes first.“ He announced his intention to introduce the bill on Twitter, ironically including the hashtag #ReproductiveRights with it.

Five-term Pennsylvania state Rep. Chris Rabb won the Democratic primary for Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District on Tuesday. Rabb secured the Democratic nomination for the seat held by retiring Rep. Dwight Evans after securing 44.3% of the vote, according to projections from NBC News. The Pennsylvania state lawmaker’s primary victory comes after he unveiled “parody legislation” in October 2021 to “require all inseminators to undergo vasectomies within six weeks from having their third child or 40th birthday, whichever comes first.” “As long as state legislatures continue to restrict the reproductive rights of cis women, trans men and non-binary people, there should...

President-elect Donald Trump has officially won Arizona, securing 312 electoral votes and sweeping all seven swing states. On Saturday evening, the race in Arizona was called, which gives Trump 11 more electoral votes and brings his total to 312 electoral votes. Vice President Kamala Harris is currently at only 227 electoral votes. Trump’s Arizona pick-up ends the battle for swing states in the 2024 presidential election. The president-elect also picked up electoral votes in North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan, Nevada, Georgia and Pennsylvania. In 2020, President Joe Biden won the state of Arizona by less than one-half of 1%. Before that,...

Joe Kent, a Republican 3rd Congressional District candidate, believes the Yelm and Rainier communities are a crucial factor in his second attempt running for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. That’s why he visited Mr. Dougs in Yelm on Thursday, Feb. 8 for a meet and greet with approximately 50 supporters in attendance. Despite only a portion of southern Thurston County being represented in the 3rd District, Kent said the region is “key” to his candidacy. “Yelm and Rainier and this little sliver of Thurston County is very important because it’s a very conservative district. We did very...

DENVER (KKTV) - The Colorado Secretary of State certified the 2022 General Election on Monday. “The certification was conducted after each county’s bipartisan canvass boards submitted their official abstract of votes to the Secretary of State’s Office, as well as the conclusion of a mandatory recount in the race for Colorado’s U.S. Congressional District 3 and permissive recount of the Colorado House District 43 race,” part of a news release from the Secretary of State’s Office reads.

It was close, but the mandatory recount in Colorado’s Third Congressional District election between incumbent Lauren Boebert and Democratic challenger Adam Frisch has reinforced what was already known. Boebert won, but not by a lot — less than 600 votes. In response, Boebert posted a lo-fi thank you video to her Twitter account. The video shows an unusually subdued Boebert exhibiting a quieter, let’s-get-to-work tone.Hey, everyone! I am happy to report all the counties in Colorado’s Third District have completed their recount. We’ve won this election as expected, and I’m headed back to represent you in Washington D.C.I can’t thank...

A man who owned a taxi service and storage facility in Aspen, Colorado, has claimed on video tape to the Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) campaign and in a separate exclusive interview with Breitbart News he allegedly blackmailed high profile congressional candidate Democrat Adam Frisch with surveillance footage of him showing up to a storage unit facility where, according to the business owner, Frisch was caught having an affair. ...

The business owner, a man named Todd Gardner,...

A few weeks ago, the Democrat candidate for Colorado’s Third Congressional District was accused of being blackmailed into changing his position on a matter of city policy while he was a city councilman in Aspen. He’s running against conservative firebrand Lauren Boebert, a person the liberal Aspen elite undisguisedly hate and would love to see beaten by Frisch. The Aspen newspapers – part of that Aspen liberal elite – have mostly dismissed or buried the blackmail story, to the extent they’ve covered it at all. The Aspen Daily News finally published something over a week after the story broke elsewhere:...

In a state governed by Democrats, a far-right candidate is about to win another term to US Congress - while her moderate Republican colleague is set to lose his bid for Senate. The races in Colorado are a capsule of the rifts shaping national politics. A few hours' drive out of Denver, the capital city in the centre of Colorado, an enormous sign can be seen from the side of the highway: white background, pink-and-black font, pasted on to an old, hulking trailer. "This Is Boebert Country," it reads. "Boebert" refers to Lauren Boebert. The 35-year-old Republican represents Colorado's third...

Voters are heading to the polls for the Colorado primary Tuesday. With races all around the state, one with potentially widespread implications is taking place in Colorado’s Third Congressional District. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO), endorsed by former President Donald Trump, is trying to hold onto her seat. But keeping her office in Congress is not happening without a challenge. Her primary opponent, Republican State Senator Don Coram, touts himself as a legislator, not an instigator. “He’s respected pretty broadly within the Republican Party and even by many Democrats who’ve worked with him over the years. And he’s generally considered a...

Former President Trump announced on Wednesday that he was endorsing controversial far-right GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert (Colo.) for reelection in 2022. "Congresswoman Lauren Boebert has done a fantastic job in her first term representing Colorado's Third District. She is a fearless leader, a defender of the America First Agenda, and a fighter against the Loser RINOs and Radical Democrats," Trump said in a statement issued through his Save America PAC. "She will continue to be tough on Crime, strong on Borders, and always protect our under-siege Second Amendment. Lauren has my Complete and Total Endorsement for her reelection!" the former...

A former housing official who served under the Trump administration launched a campaign last week for the U.S. House, entering a race where he will attempt to primary a fellow Republican representing a district in West Michigan. Republican John Gibbs is running against freshman U.S. Rep. Peter Meijer (R-MI), who voted to impeach President Donald Trump on a charge of inciting insurrection after an unruly mob stormed the U.S. Capitol in January.

A Colorado Democrat who planned to challenge Republican U.S. Rep. Lauren Boebert in 2022 has halted her campaign fundraising, citing proposed changes to the state’s congressional map that would place the Democrat’s properties outside the 3rd Congressional District that Boebert represents, according to reports. Kerry Donovan lives in Vail and owns a ranch in neighboring Wolcott, neither of which would be located in the revised 3rd district as proposed in the state’s revised congressional map, which still requires approval from the state Supreme Court, FOX 31 of Denver reported. The map was redrawn and approved by the state’s Redistricting Commission...
