Democrats are tortured by what they should stand for now and heading into the 2028 elections. But a number of current trends suggest a likely answer: their own version of a populist, anti-establishment, MAGA-like makeover.Why it matters: The debate is usually framed as liberal vs. centrist, Rahm versus AOC. But big, fast changes in AI, media habits and general public angst point to a more sweeping shift in ideas and attitude.Four megatrends that are already shaping Democrats' efforts to remake their image and rewrite their agenda:Media: MSM is fading in its mesmerizing hold over liberals. At the same time, the...

Sipping beers, snapping selfies, crying save...

Saturday on MSNBC’s “Velshi,” Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) claimed Republicans had taken their hoods off in President Donald Trump’s second term. Crockett said, “It’s not just even the fact that it’s gerrymandering. I want to be clear, this is racial gerrymandering, specifically in the state of Texas.” Host Ali Velshi said, “Do you hear the stuff they’re saying about Gene Wu, by the way, talking about Asians, like how he’s connected to the Chinese Communist Party, like the racism. They’re not doing a great job at keeping it, you know, keeping the lid on that pot.”

So she's now calling her own staffers racist and sexist? LOL. The NYP is reporting that staffers for Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett are BLASTING her for being a "diva" who mistreats staff and is "focused almost exclusively on being an influencer" instead of being a member of congress. "She is laying around her apartment, won’t come into the office" “I don’t want to hear Jasmine Crockett talk about helping black women when she just fired one for no reason!” “The only person that she thinks about and cares about is herself." "She doesn’t care about the local issues happening in...

WASHINGTON — Rep. Jasmine Crockett has positioned herself as an unfiltered critic of President Trump, earning regular TV appearances and an enthusiastic online following, but congressional aides tell The Post that the Dallas Democrat is just as “rude” and mean to her own staff. The liberal loudmouth, 44, has rocketed to fame since taking office in January 2023 as a fiery antagonist of the Republican president and his allies. But three sources who have worked with or for Crockett say she’s rarely present when TV cameras aren’t rolling — and terrorizes staff when she does appear. Crockett is not often...

Late-night host Stephen Colbert confronted Democratic Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker with gerrymandered maps of Illinois congressional districts on Tuesday amid Texas Republicans' efforts to redraw the state's congressional map. "If you are considering doing a little more redrawing in Illinois, you already have some crazy districts in Illinois. Take a look at this. Look at [district] 17 here. It does that, then it comes up here, and it sneaks around there and goes all the way up here and then goes right over there like that," Colbert said as he gestured, describing the districts. "Is this common for all states...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, allegedly told The Atlantic she was "shutting down" its profile of her after learning the author had reached out to other Democrats without telling her. Staff writer Elaine Godfrey described in an article on Sunday that Crockett called her four days before the piece was published "to express frustration that I had reached out to so many House members without telling her first."

(Screenshot/YouTube/The Official Jamal Bryant Podcast: Let's Be Clear) Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett said in an interview Thursday that cutting the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) could pave the way for another 9/11-style attack. President Donald Trump signed an executive order freezing foreign aid funding in January, while Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency worked to dismantle USAID due to spending money on projects like Peruvian transgender comic books and a transgender clinic in Vietnam. During an interview with Jamal Bryant on the podcast “Let’s Be Clear,” Crockett said that cutting USAID funding could lead to a...

One of the biggest lies ever told in the history of the world is that the Democrat Party is the party of "love" and "compassion." In fact, one of the reasons I completed my conversion to the dark side (conservatism) all those years ago and never looked back was the realization that there was nothing "loving and compassionate," for example, about advocating for the "right" to terminate innocent, unborn life at any stage of pregnancy. So, like many on our side of the aisle, whenever I hear such claims coming from Democrats and their allies in the press, I just...

Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, told late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on Tuesday that she would “absolutely” take a head-to-head IQ test against President Donald Trump. “He also called you low IQ, I’m sure you’re aware of that. Would you be willing to take an IQ test publicly head-to-head against the President of the United States?” Kimmel asked. “Absolutely!” Crockett responded. Kimmel played a clip of Trump talking about the Democratic lawmaker, during which he called Crockett the Democrats’ “new star,” and suggested the party was in trouble if that was the case. Trump made the comments about Crockett during the National...

As you're already aware, Texas Democrats have fled democracy because they know they will lose a vote on redrawing U.S. congressional districts in the Lone Star State. Calling it 'gerrymandering,' they hypocritically hopped a plane to Illinois, which is one of the worst states for Democrat Party gerrymandering. Hating billionaires, they rushed to Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, who put them all up in one of his luxury hotels. Meanwhile, Texas Governor Greg Abbott says the vacationing Dems are facing arrest. That's got Jasmine Crockett being dumber than ever and promising to throw fists. (WATCH) VIDEO AT LINK............. They’re not putting...

A recent article on Jasmine Crockett in The Atlantic reveals that she sees representing the American people as a mere side hustle.When Democratic firebrand Jasmine Crockett agreed to be profiled by The Atlantic, she probably expected just another boot-licking puff piece that would add to her leftist street cred and fundraising numbers. What she got was a surprisingly balanced account of her background and meteoric rise in a collapsing political party, which is why she reportedly tried to spike the article.Perhaps Crockett was incensed by the embarrassing anecdote that staff writer Elaine Godfrey related at the very beginning of the...

Democrat Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX) suffered a meltdown after the Texas GOP unveiled a new congressional map that leaves her quite literally out of bounds. The far-left loudmouth, known for her unhinged outbursts, freaked out after Texas State Rep. Todd Hunter (R) released a proposed redistricting map that would reshape the political battlefield in favor of conservatives. The proposed map includes the elimination of five Democrat districts across Austin, Dallas, Houston, and South Texas.
