The Democratic National Committee’s credentials panel voted Monday to void activist David Hogg’s election to vice chair of the party. Hogg, a survivor of the 2018 mass shooting at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., was elected vice chair in February but has drawn criticism from some Democrats over his plans to spend $20 million to take down long-serving Democratic House lawmakers in primaries. “[It’s] impossible to ignore the broader context of my work to reform the party which loomed large over this vote,” Hogg said in a statement after the vote, according to Politico. “The DNC has...

He reviewed the victories of the past two years in Afghanistan and Iraq, and assessed the war tasks ahead. Homeland security was prominent on the president’s agenda and its cornerstone was the Patriot Act, which Congress had passed in 2001 just after the World Trade Center attack. When the president came to the point in his address where he intended to ask legislators to renew the Act, there was an unscripted moment in...

The globalist World Economic Forum (WEF) founder Klaus Schwab has begun to “start the process” of stepping down as chair of its board of trustees, the Geneva-based institution confirmed Thursday. The German academic said the forum, which convenes its annual gathering of world elites at the Swiss resort of Davos, must recover its “sense of mission” after a period of turmoil. The Financial Times first reported Schwab’s departure, citing a letter to trustee board members and confirmation by two people with knowledge of the situation. The missive reportedly said in part: I am deeply convinced that in today’s special context...

A German diplomat once best known for laughing at Donald Trump’s warning that Germany’s dependence on Russian energy would become a problem was unable to finish his speech at the Munich Security Conference as he apparently found the implications of emissary JD Vance’s message from the Trump White House too upsetting.

Some Democratic insiders are already expressing concerns over newly elected Democratic National Committee (DNC) Vice Chair David Hogg just two weeks into his tenure in leadership. Hogg has already ruffled some feathers within the DNC for using the committee’s contact list to solicit donations for his own political action committee (PAC), Leaders We Deserve, according to a report from the New York Post.

This is a huge win for our movement to make the Democratic Party more reflective of our base: youthful, energetic, and ready to win," reads one of...

Failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz congratulated gun control activist David Hogg for securing the position of Democratic National Committee vice chair. Breitbart News reported that Hogg’s selection comes just months after the Democrats’ gun control message failed to resonate with young voters, many of whom shifted to President Donald Trump and his pro-Second Amendment message. Hogg announced his new position with an X post Sunday, writing, “I’ve just been elected as a Vice Chair of the DNC. I’m deeply grateful to the members for their trust and belief in me and I don’t take it lightly. Now it’s time...

His comments confirmed a report, published hours earlier by Punchbowl News, that Thompson had at least one conversation in December with the White House counsel’s office about a potential pardon.

It wasn’t a particular pardon. … I said for me, as a member of the...

Before now, the party had faced defeats to be sure. But our playbook still basically worked. The waters were turbulent at times, but our ship was...

Outgoing Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair Jaime Harrison believes “identity politics” should remain the Democrat party’s core messaging theme moving forward. Harrison’s suggestion comes as the party is grappling with why President-elect Donald Trump won reelection in a landslide. Democrats have floated many theories. Some of the theories are here, such as suggesting black and Hispanic voters voted for Trump because they are misogynist.

This perception ignores an individual’s preferences, decisions, and agency. In short,...

Democratic strategist David Axelrod is pushing for U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel to become the new chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). “If they said, ‘Well, what should we do? Who should lead the party?’ I would take Ambassador Rahm Emanuel, and I would bring him back from Japan and I would appoint him chairman of the Democratic National Committee,” Axelrod said Tuesday on his podcast “Hacks on Tap.” “He is the most skillful, political kind of infighter in the Democratic Party. … He’s been a member of Congress, he’s been White House chief of staff, he’s been...

The Republican National Committee has made a decision on one of the most hotly contested state GOP chair seats in America. Only moments ago, it was announced that former Trump Ambassador to the Netherlands and former US House Intelligence Chair Pete Hoekstra will be officially recognized as the GOP Chair in Michigan.

South Carolina wants to bring back the firing squad and the electric chair as the state argues that “painless” deaths are not mandated. Among the 33 prisoners on death row in the Palmetto State, four inmates are arguing that the electric chair and firing squad are cruel and unusual punishments. The inmates also claim a 2023 law that allows lethal injections is too secretive about many details of the new drug. However, the governor of the Palmetto State disagrees, saying all three methods fit the existing protocol and painless executions are not mandated by law. “Courts have never held the...

During an interview with ABC News Live on Wednesday, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison responded to efforts to impeach President Joe Biden by wondering, “Are we going to impeach a President for being a good father, for standing up for your child?” Host Linsey Davis asked, “Hunter Biden, I understand that he’s not on the ballot, but are you concerned at all that his case and House efforts on impeaching Biden could be a distraction for your party and for the President during what’s sure to be a competitive general election?”
