New York socialist congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier (D) is continuing to advocate for socialism, a leftist system that is threatening the United States. Her comments came as radical candidates in the Democrat Party are moving toward the midterm elections. Chevalier mentioned the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) while speaking during an interview Friday on ELR News with Kevin Ortega-Rojas. “I think with DSA specifically, something that I’m very excited to do is to build black socialism within the caucuses of DSA. And something that my team and I were very intentional about we’re making sure that we weren’t just...

The revolution is getting a real-estate glow-up! The New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America is ditching its dingy Lower East Side headquarters and spending $22,000 a month on two new offices — in Midtown and Bed-Stuy. Co-chair Grace Mausser broke the news to her comrades at a recent meeting, as she presented the chapter’s budget — while also making the case for giving embattled co-chair Gustavo Gordillo and herself $95,000 salaries each. The new Manhattan office is in a 14-story building on West 35th Street in Hudson Yards, complete with a doorman, 24/7 security and furnished...

Democrat U.S. Senate nominee James Talarico spoke of “dismantling” capitalism while dismissing the future of Texas’ oil and gas industry during a 2020 climate forum, newly resurfaced video shows. The comments, first reported by CNN, came during a virtual candidate forum hosted by the Austin Sierra Club while Talarico was serving his first term in the Texas House.

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...

Senate Democratic nominee James Talarico appears ready to bring a touch of Trotsky to Texas. In a video from a climate forum, Talarico is shown declaring capitalism an "oppressive system" linked with White supremacy and saying that it must be "dismantled" to achieve a better world. It is reminiscent of Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky, who denounced the "fundamental evil of the capitalist system" and called on citizens to free themselves from its oppression. The Democratic Socialists of America and radical sites have long called "to dismantle the capitalist state." As a state representative, Talarico addressed the 2020 climate conference by...

Tucker and Saagar Enjeti agreed that El-Sayed is running an “America First” campaign and said they would bet on him to win. Then Tucker said no one should be further from a position of power than Mike Rogers. https://x.com/JustinUSA/status/2095321352630636999

Tucker Carlson praised Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the Democratic Senate nominee in Michigan, calling the candidate’s agenda “literally Trumpian.”El-Sayed prevailed in last month’s Democratic primary over Rep. Haley Stevens, despite being outspent nine-to-one, thanks in large part to more than $30 million in ad buys from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. He has pledged to oppose continued U.S. aid to Israel.El-Sayed’s Republican opponent is former Rep. Mike Rogers, who chaired the House Intelligence Committee and has been a fervent supporter of Israel. Given Americans’ increasingly negative views of Israel, Rogers’ campaign is reportedly concerned about AIPAC spending money on its...

The "DSA Explorer," created by Utah software engineer and rightwing personality Jennica Pounds, purports to connect various groups and activists on the political left. A Utah software engineer who was recently hired by the Pentagon is under fire after unveiling a database she built to track people with ties to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Why it matters: Critics say the "DSA Explorer" is an inappropriate use of sensitive political information by a federal employee at best — and amounts to government spying on U.S. citizens at worst. The other side: Jennica Pounds, the rightwing Utah influencer and data...

Democratic strategist James Carville expanded his critique of left-wing streamer Hasan Piker on Tuesday, branding him an “idiot” and saying he cannot answer for Piker’s band of “left-wing idiots.” Piker, a self-described socialist streamer who campaigned with Democratic Michigan U.S. Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, has emerged as a leading voice on the left as democratic socialists continue to gain influence. “There’s two things that I know about Hasan Piker. One, he’s an idiot, and two, he’s not a Democrat. So, I don’t answer for idiots, and I don’t answer for people who are not Democrats,” Carville said on “The Story.”...

Senator John Fetterman may be a Democrat, but he has also been one of the most vocal critics of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). During a recent appearance on FOX News, Fetterman dropped some serious truths about the DSA, saying that they are anti-American, but buried in his comments was a huge truth about these people that doesn’t get mentioned nearly enough. Fetterman says, ‘they want to impoverish middle class whites’ and that is absolutely correct. Listen to any one of them talk long enough and they will eventually link capitalism to white supremacy. It’s not true, but it...

WASHINGTON — House Democrats voted down a proposed constitutional amendment to lock in the number of justices on the Supreme Court at nine. The amendment failed in a 212-206 vote, far short of the two-thirds majority needed to get it through the lower chamber. Only one Democrat, Rep. Don Davis of North Carolina, voted with Republicans in support of the proposed amendment. Republicans brought up the constitutional amendment as part of an effort to accuse Democrats of seeking to pack the high court due to its conservative majority and tie them to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). “We will...

We’ve seen neither hide nor (wig) hair of Democrat Maxine Waters in several months. Don’t misinterpret that as a complaint. But she's back and crazy as ever. She recently appeared on political commentator Roland Martin’s podcast. She says the friction between the Democrat Party and its Democratic Socialists of America members is being spurred on by the ‘white media.’

Democrat gubernatorial candidate David Jolly is sharing the top of the ticket race with Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Senate candidate Angie Nixon in Florida, and despite acting as a moderate Democrat, Jolly shares many of the same positions as DSA. Jolly – a Republican turned Democrat – has attempted to position himself as a moderate Democrat, but that is anything but the case. He has openly said he wishes to apologize to the world for Florida’s “culture wars” and sided with disgraced former National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) head Anthony Fauci during the pandemic, fleeing Florida...

The Jewish Democratic Council of America and other Jewish Democrat groups keep trying to make the case that Jewish donors should at least fund the right Democrats (they may be a bit fuzzy on which those are the JDCA backs multiple candidates who accused Israel of genocide) and that it’s just a tiny minority of bad ones. But money is fungible and with the Dems talking up how their party is now a ‘Big Tent’ that includes Jews and people who hate them and want to kill them, that’s a bit tricky. Take the recent campaign of Alex Vindman. The...
