Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and other Senate Democrats hold a press conference attacking Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). DOGE was granted access to the U.S. Treasury payment system last week, leading to Musk revealing suspect payments made by the United States government: Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren attacked the access granted to Musk and DOGE on Sunday:

Likely Dem primary voters in the upcoming mayoral election overwhelmingly say New York City is in crisis — with nearly half saying that if things get any worse, they may leave, a dismal new survey shows. The pessimism is broad and deep. Eighty percent of the respondents say they are worried about the current level of crime, while 75% believe their city is in a state of crisis, and 70% are “fearful and anxious” about its future, according to the poll by Democratic strategists with the Honan Strategy Group.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) claimed Thursday on ABC’s “The View” that the Democratic Party will not support President Donald Trump’s agenda. Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin said, “I want to ask you, what do you think Democrats need to pull themselves out of sort of this hole that they’re in since Trump has been elected, and who do you see as the leader of the Democratic Party at this moment?” Warren said, “So, look, the thing we need to do is get off our butts and get in the fight. I get it. It hurts to lose to Donald Trump. It...

Democratic strategist James Carville said Friday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that Democrats have no choice but to let President Donald Trump “punch himself out.” Carville said, “I mean, look, he just says anything that he wants to say. I mean, how many stories do I have to read that the delta smelt has nothing to do with this, but he’s just going to keep plowing through? OK. And we have to learn as Democrats just let him punch himself out. Just remember, this is a little bit before your time, but people of my generation remember Muhammad Ali and his...

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) claimed Thursday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that President Donald Trump had “legitimized” political violence against Democrats. When asked about the J6 pardons, Murphy said, “I mean, let’s let’s really talk about who he let out of prison this week, who walked out of prison. The guy walked out of prison this week that pepper sprayed multiple officers to the point where one had a heart attack, he let out of jail this week. People who were beating police officers over the head with poles he let out of jail. Someone who said when he arrived...

The Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act passed the House of Representatives on the strength of a unanimous Republican vote. However, only two Democrats supported the measure to protect girls from trans athletes, and the rest voted against it. Tennis legend Martina Navratilova is now calling foul. “Shame on the Democrats who really don’t care about women, girls, and their safety, fairness,” Navratilova said in response to a news report that only two House Dems had voted for the measure. In another post, Navratilova chastised Dems for having only two members willing to stand up for women. “More...

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “All In” that once in office, President Donald Trump will lock up Democrats and shut down media companies sometime in the spring. Murphy said, “We have to raise alarms on what is a really dangerous assault on democracy that has been underway since the election and will continue after the inauguration. It is just not hyperbole to suggest that we might be looking at Democrats being locked up, media companies being shut down by this new administration sometime in the spring.” He continued, “So listen, I’m all for rebuilding the Democratic Party....

Retiring Democratic Minnesota Rep. Dean Phillips flayed his political party for lacking leadership and having a lopsided focus on political longevity and identity politics in a Saturday exit interview with Politico.Phillips — who until Saturday represented his state’s 3rd District — bared his frustrations in the interview. “Right now, we are totally devoid of leadership. We are rudderless. I don’t know which Democratic Party member my colleagues would point to as the leader, de facto leader, and absent that, I don’t see much, frankly, happening,” he told Politico.“I think it’s ironic that the Republican Party is now representing America’s working...

Conservatives and allies of President-elect Trump are dismantling a narrative put forth by Democratic lawmakers such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren that Republicans blocked funding for childhood cancer research in the spending bill, pointing to a stand-alone bill that had languished in the Democratic-controlled Senate for months.

Democrats have no equals when it comes to taking undeserved credit and evading well-deserved blame. Consider a recent Time article titled "Don’t Give Trump Credit for the success of the Biden Economy." Of course, no one, including President-elect Trump, wants credit for Biden’s dumpster fire economy. That debacle just cost the Democrats an election. So, what is Time’s piece all about? Well, it is part of an effort to position Democrats to take credit for what even they see as Trump’s coming economic turnaround. It’s not the first time Democrats have tried to take credit for Trump’s economic success. Recall...

ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith has taken a break from giving career advice to NFL coaches and NBA players and decided to give some advice to the Democrat Party.

Smith Show podcast, the multi-million dollar hot-take artist blamed Democrats for proving the voters’ lack of trust in the Democrat Party to be accurate.

WASHINGTON — Democrats spent Thanksgiving eating crow — privately confessing that President Biden’s handling of the border crisis fueled voter outrage and the Republican sweep of the White House and both chambers of Congress. Lawmakers, aides and sources close to powerful Dems finally admitted after President-elect Donald Trump’s resounding victory over Biden’s successor, Vice President Kamala Harris, that the party’s permissive lurch on the border helped doom them in 2024. “We destroyed ourselves on the immigration issue in ways that were entirely predictable and entirely manageable,” a Democratic senator confided to The Hill under the condition of anonymity. “We utterly...

Democratic strategist Donna Brazile said Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” that her party can no longer pretend President-elect Donald Trump won because he is a “better liar.” Brazile said, “The truth is we should put it all on a table and have a great introspection as to what happened, what happened in New Jersey when Chris and I were sitting there on election night, and I’m looking at Chris like, Hey, what’s going on? What was going on in Minnesota? What was going on, of course, in Massachusetts and Rhode Island?”

Former George W. Bush adviser Karl Rove said Tuesday on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom” that the battle for control of the Senate was a series of nightmares for the Democrats. Rove said, “First of all, he’s already had a nightmare or two because West Virginia, there was no way they could hold it once Joe Manchin announced his retirement. I can’t even tell you the name of the Democratic candidate, he’s a mayor of a town in the western panhandle and he’s going to lose by 30 points. Then they had another nightmare, Schumer had another nightmare. In Montana,...

Bill Clinton gave Donald Trump a free ad the other day when he hit the campaign trail in Georgia and declared that Laken Riley would still be alive if the illegal migrant who allegedly killed her had been “properly vetted.” The 78-year-old former president was trying to defend Kamala Harris’ record as the border czar, who presided over the invasion of more than 10 million illegal migrants. “You had a case in Georgia not very long ago . . . a young woman who had been killed by an immigrant,” Clinton said Sunday. “Well, if they’d all been properly vetted...

Democratic strategist Aisha Mills claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “The Beat” that the November elections are between former President Donald Trump’s “toxic masculinity” and Democrats’ tender “holistic sense of manhood.” Mills said, “Just speaking to someone who does not identify as a man, I have to say that stepping back, the thing that’s on display with this entire presidential campaign is a tale of two types of masculinity generally, whether black masculinity or otherwise. It is really about masculinity. What you see on one side is this toxic masculinity that is very much about patriarchal, it’s about bullying, it’s about locker...

1:41 Liberal documentary filmmaker Michael Moore said Monday on CNN’s “News Central” that he was “frightened” Democrats think former President Donald Trump will win. Host Brianna Keilar said, “In know you’ve heard it. There is there thinking that you’re aware of from I think Democrats in the political class who said yeah, but Harris needs people in the middle and liberals are going to vote for her regardless, why would they stay home? It’s as good as a vote for Trump. What do you say to that reasoning?” Moore said, “I honestly think we’re going to have one of our...

In an effort to "sow discord and shape the outcome of U.S. elections", Iranian cyber actors sent messages during the summer to people involved in President Biden's then re-election campaign containing stolen material from former President Trump's campaign, U.S. agencies said. "Iranian malicious cyber actors in late June and early July sent unsolicited emails to individuals then associated with President Biden’s campaign that contained an excerpt taken from stolen, non-public material from former President Trump’s campaign as text in the emails," the FBI, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in a joint...

Former California Senate Majority Leader Gloria Romero announced Wednesday she was changing her voter registration to Republican, stating she has "had enough."
