  • A Tale of Two Political Parties

    New American Prophet ^ | October 13, 2025 | Jeff Crouere
    In America today, our two major political parties are moving in opposite directions. For Republicans, it might be the “best of times.” Under the leadership of President Donald Trump, the GOP is feeling confident. Republicans have a strong chance to retain control of the Congress in 2026 midterm elections despite the party out of power traditionally gaining many new seats. This political environment is different. President Trump has had an incredibly successful first nine months of his second term and this will help Republicans in the midterm elections. After four years of no border security under the previous administration, it...

    Knives are coming out for former Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) in the California gubernatorial race after several videos released this week generated widespread criticism over her behavior. Porter’s opponents and other Democrats rebuked the former congresswoman this week after she sought to end an interview early over a question that was visibly frustrating her.Shortly after, Politico obtained a video of Porter berating a staffer in 2021 for entering her live shot while she was recording a video with then-Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm (D), fueling further backlash. Though the California primary is months away, the incidents are threatening to hinder her...

    Los Angeles Times ^ | October 11, 2025 Updated 3:49 PM PT | Seema Mehta
    The emergence of two videos showing former Rep. Katie Porter in an unfavorable light have cast a cloud over her gubernatorial prospects, feeding perceptions among some that the Irvine Democrat is thin-skinned and a short-tempered boss. How Porter responds in coming days could determine her viability in next year’s race to replace termed-out Gov. Gavin Newsom, according to both Democratic and Republican political strategists.“Everyone’s had a bad day. Everyone’s done something that they wouldn’t want broadcast, right? You don’t want your worst boss moment, your worst employment moment, your worst personal moment, captured on camera,” said Christine Pelosi, a prominent...
  • Katie Porter targeted ‘softer spoken’ underlings for abuse, was ‘downright mean’, ex-staffer warns voters

    Katie Porter was exposed for berating a staffer and throwing a tantrum during an interview in two video clips this week. And the California governor candidate is even worse when cameras aren’t rolling, one ex-staffer told The Post Friday. One of the lawyer and politician’s cruelest tactics is dehumanizing her young underlings by referring to them in the third person — while in their presence. “It was easier for her to do these things to the quieter ones, the more soft-spoken ones, who wouldn’t be like, ‘hey, that’s not okay,’ ” Sasha Georgiades, a former Wounded Warrior Fellow and Navy...

    On the largest stage to date in the race to replace retiring California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the three top Democratic candidates dashed through their state party’s convention this weekend in downtown Los Angeles, courting delegates, meeting with potential backers and trying to build early support in the unpredictable contest. Rep. Katie Porter snapped selfies with fans as her campaign offered croissants, muffins and coffee. Rep. Adam B. Schiff delivered a combination of risqué humor and dad jokes during a nighttime stand-up performance. And Rep. Barbara Lee leaned heavily into her long history of supporting liberal causes, even when they were...

    Bombshell accusations of Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) allegedly physically abusing her ex-husband surfaced on Wednesday, which come on the heels of her pattern of aggressive interpersonal interactions in recent years. Porter was the first of three prominent House Democrats to announce their candidacies for Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) seat as she heads to retirement at the culmination of her term. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), both of whom have held House seats for at least two decades, have also launched bids in the high-stakes race.

    Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) announced her candidacy for U.S. Senate in 2024 on Tuesday as she eyes 89-year-old Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) seat, which has been occupied since 1992. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times last month, Feinstein said she intends to complete her term but is weighing whether she will retire or seek reelection in 2024. Though the oldest member of Congress, who has reportedly had issues with forgetfulness, has yet to announce a decision, the more progressive Porter is amping up the pressure with her campaign announcement video on social media.

    Democratic California Rep. Katie Porter said Wednesday during a Congressional hearing on anti-LGBTQ violence that the term “pedophile” brands people as criminals because of their “sexual orientation.” Survivors of the Club Q shooting, activists and others testified Wednesday about anti-LGBTQ violence before the House Oversight and Reform Committee. Porter said the phrase “groomer” is a “lie” used to position members of the LGBTQ community as a “threat.” “It denies them access to public spaces,” Porter said, before asking one witness whether Twitter allows posts calling people “groomers.” Human Rights Campaign (HRC) president Kelley Robinson said Twitter does not allow users...

    Democrat Katie Porter captured a Republican-held U.S. House seat Thursday in the heart of what once was Southern California's Reagan country, extending a rout of the state's GOP House delegation that might not be over. Porter's upset in Orange County is a sign of changing times in a region once known nationally as a GOP fortress. The coastal county southeast of Los Angeles was home to President Richard Nixon, and President Ronald Reagan once likened it to a Republican heaven. Porter, a law professor and protege of Massachusetts Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren, defeated Republican Rep. Mimi Walters, who was re-elected...

    First-time candidate Katie Porter, a UC Irvine law professor and consumer protection attorney, defeated two-time incumbent Rep. Mimi Walters of Laguna Niguel in California’s 45th Congressional District, becoming the first Democrat elected to the seat in the longtime Republican stronghold in Orange County. Porter ran on a progressive platform, touting her support for universal healthcare and vowing to take corporate money out of politics. Her victory in the wealthy, highly educated district including Tustin and Mission Viejo, which had never sent a Democrat to Congress, signals the shifting political landscape in the county.

    Katie Porter’s “unhappy experience” in a viral interview has become the news cycle from hell. The bipartisan pile-on following the widely-circulated clip of her contentious sit-down with a local CBS news reporter was only hours old when a new video surfaced from POLITICO of the former House member berating a staffer in 2021 — the two clips fueling long-simmering concerns about her temperament and judgment. Together, they suddenly boiled over into the broader political zeitgeist, raising questions about just how durable Porter’s lead in California’s gubernatorial race really is. “Is this a disaster? Yes,” said Gale Kaufman, a veteran Democratic...
