New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has stopped pretending his socialist vision is just a local experiment.On CNN International’s Amanpour, the Democratic Socialist was asked whether America is ready to elect people on the hard left — and whether the 2026 midterms will be a referendum not only on President Trump, but on the Democratic Socialists of America. “I think this will absolutely translate on a national level,” Mamdani said. Amanpour noted that other Democrats still believe national races reward moderates, and that local energy is one thing, but winning the country is another. Mamdani answered by recasting New York’s...

Democratic Michigan Senate hopeful Dr. Abdul El-Sayed danced around pleas from an emotional student Wednesday to condemn the theocratic government of Iran and stand with anti-regime protesters. During a “Students vs. Billionaires” town hall in Ann Arbor, Iman Dashti recounted how his family was oppressed by the Islamic Republic — citing the case of his uncle, who Dashti said suffered 50 lashes before being put to death; and his cousin, who was allegedly detained for not wearing a hijab properly. Dashti then confronted El-Sayed over leaked audio in which the candidate fretted about opining on the death of late Supreme...

ICE watchers across the country who watched federal agents shoot people in the streets and fought to drive ICE from their cities are turning their new skills against the next authoritarian threat from the Trump administration: election interference. Volunteers who showed up a few months ago asking, “Where do I buy a whistle?” are now trained and committed members of an “ICE Watch” movement, said Zach Mueller, whose anti-authoritarian group States at the Core started hosting trainings earlier this year. “They’re not in the normal cast of characters that have been showing up to rallies over the last several decades,”...

Democrats are so desperate to see President Trump out of office that a majority would be happy to see him overthrown in a military coup or die in his sleep, a jaw-dropping new poll has found. Nearly six in 10 (59%) of Democratic respondents said they would feel “very positive” or “somewhat positive” if they learned a junta had removed Trump and seized control of the American government, while 55% said they would feel the same if the president passed away peacefully, according to the survey from the Center for Strategic Politics. An even higher percentage said they would be...

A group of students at San Pablo, California’s Contra Costa College engaged in a “decapitation” of a Donald Trump piñata, which appeared to be celebrated by one of the school’s counselors. According to Fox News, the X account Libs of TikTok posted video of a person in a blindfold approaching a Trump figurine — donned in a “blue suit, red baseball cap and holding a sign that reads ‘F— ICE'” — and then beheading it. The event reportedly occurred “a few months ago,” but the video surfaced “just last week.” It “appear[ed] to be overseen” by Lorena Gonzalez, currently listed...

The Democratic nominee for Senate in Arkansas, Hallie Shoffner, raised money in the summer of 2020 for a "racial and social justice" bail fund founded by a left-wing activist who was later sentenced to 17 months in prison for her role in a series of firebombing attacks on police cars in Little Rock. Shoffner and the family farming company she ran at the time, SFR Seed, donated flowers to a jewelry store in Little Rock, Bella Vita Jewelry, that in turn sold bouquets to raise money for the Little Rock Freedom Fund. The store's owner posed with Shoffner as she...

The piece of art was unveiled a year after the activist was assassinated while he was talking to college students in Utah.

The University of Tennessee-Knoxville is condemning messages that celebrate political violence after mysterious "Kirkaversery" [sic] flyers advertised a gathering apparently marking one year since Charlie Kirk’s assassination, declaring, "WE WILL CELEBRATE THE FIRST NEW YEAR AK (AFTER KIRK)." The flyers, images of which circulated widely on social media and by Libs of TikTok, advertise an 8 p.m. Sept. 10 gathering on the HSS Lawn at UT Knoxville. But the university told Fox News Digital that it is not sponsoring an event related to Kirk’s assassination and that no organization has registered to use the location for such a gathering. A...

The pastor's X account posted security footage of the attackers, saying they cut off power to the home and tried to gain entry. "On Thursday night, 4 left-wing activists including 2 hooded individuals came to our home after our address was leaked publicly online," the post said.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas) are calling for a ban on artificial superintelligence and a broader pause on the development of advanced models following a string of AI-powered cyberattacks. The pair are preparing to introduce a bill that would ban the development and deployment of superintelligence and pause development of cutting-edge AI models until an agency is created to monitor their capabilities and identify potential risks. Sanders and Casar, the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, have positioned themselves as leading voices on the left warning of the potential for mass job loss and economic disruption...

The left-wing Guardian newspaper documented how “pro-choice militants” conducted terroristic attempts at intimidation from New York and North Carolina to Wisconsin, Texas and Washington state in recent years. “The methods have been extreme,” the report noted; “vandals have thrown Molotov cocktails, committed arson, damaged property and made threats.” Jane’s Revenge issued a statement demanding “anti-choice establishments” shut down in 30 days or face further violence. That was in 2022 — yet the group continued operating, until its website went dark just days ago thanks to President Donald Trump’s crackdown on terrorist infrastructure. Jane’s Revenge and various other radical organizations, including...

The leadership of the “Student Intifada,” the National Students for Justice in Palestine (NSJP), has escalated its war against normalcy and decency in academia. Its incrementalist approach to taking over every campus (as it has haughtily claimed is inevitable) began with targeting students, moved on to targeting faculty, and has now put university presidents and trustees in its cross hairs. The following cases represent only a subset of their recent activities. Cornell University President Targeted The post-October 7 attacks against Jewish students are well-known and widely-documented. So too are efforts to isolate and stigmatize Jewish and Zionist faculty members. Only...

Here’s a bit of appalling footage showing just who the Democratic Party is choosing to associate with in 2026. The Michigan Senate race sees Republican candidate Mike Rogers taking on Democrat Abdul El-Sayed, the latter of whom has garnered attention for a myriad of reasons, his association with popular leftist internet personality Hasan Piker among them. For those unfamiliar with Piker, he’s a millionaire Marxist nepo-baby who gained notoriety through working for his uncle, Cenk Uygur of left-wing media outlet The Young Turks. Piker is not the most discerning, articulate, cunning, or even presentable figure. When watching him, the viewer...

WASHINGTON — Mao-adoring Twitch streamer Hasan Piker erupted in fury after Wisconsin state rep. Francesca Hong’s shocking defeat in the Democratic gubernatorial primary, venting that boomers should be outlawed. Piker, who had stumped with Hong during the final weeks of her primary, blamed older Americans for her loss amid her double-digit lead in most polling and struggled to talk about the blow to the far-left. “I don’t want to read this because I will f—ing kill myself with a gun in a video game,” Piker griped after reading an article about a late-deciding voter who backed Milwaukee County Executive David...

Among the organizations helping drive the demonstrations was the Party for Socialism and Liberation, which Fox News Digital has previously identified as a key organizer of nationwide protest movements within the broader activist ecosystem surrounding organizations funded by Marxist tech entrepreneur Neville Roy Singham, who lives in Shanghai. Earlier this year, a Fox News Digital investigation documented roughly $285 million flowing from Singham into a global network of nonprofits, activist organizations and media operations. Another prominent organizer is Freedom Inc., a Madison-based activist nonprofit that advocates abolishing police, defunding law enforcement and broad criminal justice reforms. IRS filings reviewed by...
