Here we go! David Hogg has infuriated top Democrats, and they are now plotting to force him out as DNC Vice Chair. In February, the DNC elected David Hogg, 25, as Vice Chair – and Democrats immediately had buyer’s remorse as the ‘twerp’ began threatening to primary certain Dem lawmakers. Hogg has no experience in actually getting Democrats elected to office. He’s an online troll who is causing too much damage to the already ailing Democrat party, so now the Democrat leadership has the knives out for him. Last week, TGP reported that Hogg vowed to spend millions to unseat...

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has announced the launch of a rogue “shadow government” dubbed the People’s Cabinet — a brazen attempt to sabotage President Donald Trump’s America First agenda. The announcement comes on the heels of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz’s shocking call for a “shadow government” during a recent town hall in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, where he openly advocated for what he called “alternate press conferences” to spin the public with Democrat-approved talking points. Now, DNC Chair Ken Martin is taking that vision a step further, turning it into an official operation.

The top Democrat in the U.S. House of Representatives says Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election is vital because the only way to challenge “gerrymandered” congressional voting maps is “if you have an enlightened Supreme Court” overseeing a legal challenge. Republicans say it’s proof Democrats are planning to redraw maps if liberal Dane County Judge Susan Crawford wins on April 1. Crawford’s campaign says she’s never commented on congressional redistricting and the GOP is trying to distract from Elon Musk’s support for conservative Waukesha County Judge Brad Schimel. During a Democratic National Committee update Monday afternoon, New York House Minority Leader Hakeem...

House Minority Speaker Hakeem Jeffries just said the quiet part out loud about the upcoming election in Wisconsin. During a Democratic National Committee update broadcaster on Friday afternoon, Jeffries talked with DNC Chair Ken Martin about the importance of Wisconsin’s Supreme Court election on Tuesday. Jeffries explained: In Wisconsin, that’s a 50-50 race, because we know Wisconsin’s a 50-50 state, and we have a strong Democratic candidate. Whoever wins is going to determine who has the majority in the Wisconsin Supreme Court. Why is that important? Because there are gerrymandered congressional lines right now in Wisconsin. Wisconsin’s a 50-50 state,...

As Twitchy noted, the party of DEI last month decided to elect two white men to be the DNC's new chair and deputy chair. Democrats voted for former Tim Walz advisor Ken Martin to lead their party back to greatness, alongside deputy chair David Hogg. As. Rep. Jasmine Crockett is making herself the face of the Democrat Party in Congress, Martin is making his presence known as the face of the DNC. Martin was asked by an obviously biased reporter what he thought of Elon Musk and the teens he was working with at DOGE, and Martin had a very...

"This is a new DNC," party chairman Ken Martin proclaimed when he won his seat in February. On Monday, he appointed the DNC’s new executive director: a longtime political operative who has worked for at least four losing Democratic presidential campaigns and who lists his pronouns in Chinese on social media. .. Amid the scores of losing campaigns on his resume, Lau has made a point to clarify on his LinkedIn page that he has secured at least one win during his 22 years in the field. He served as campaign manager for former Rep. Niki Tsongas’s winning bid for...

As the Democratic Party continues to grapple with former Vice president Kamala Harris' loss to President Trump, some leaders in the party think they should focus on their economic messaging and creating a coherent message to respond to the president. "We have no coherent message," Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, told The New York Times on Sunday. "This guy is psychotic, and there’s so much, but everything that underlines it is white supremacy and hate. There needs to be a message that is clear on at least the underlying thing that comes with all of this." The DNC elected Minnesota party...

Top Democratic elected officials and billionaire donors found out they don’t have much pull at the Democratic National Committee, where party insiders on Saturday chose a steady hand — Ken Martin — over their preferred choice for chair. Neither Martin nor the pick of much of the establishment, Ben Wikler of Wisconsin, were promising a major overhaul of the party. And in selecting Martin, Democrats did little to answer some of the deepest questions their party faces as they search for a path out of the political wilderness. Instead, inside a hotel ballroom at National Harbor in Maryland on Saturday,...

Minnesota state party chair Ken Martin was elected on Saturday to serve as the next chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC). Martin, a longtime chairman of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, secured more than 246 votes out of the 428 DNC members who voted, according to multiple reports. Martin has reportedly expressed a desire to see Democrats get “back to basics” and rebuild the Party’s image following the loss of so many working-class voters who have moved over to the political right and President Donald Trump’s Make America Great Again movement.

Former Congressman Jason Lewis announced Thursday morning he is running for the U.S. Senate in 2020. Lewis, a Republican who lost his 2018 re-election bid to represent the 2nd Congressional District, will try to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Tina Smith. In his announcement, though, he targeted Rep. Ilhan Omar, the Democrat from Minneapolis who has been repeatedly criticized by President Donald Trump, just as much as Smith. “We are at a crossroads in Minnesota and across this country not seen since the chaos and turmoil of the 1960’s,” Lewis said in his announcement. “llhan Omar, with Senator Tina Smith marching...

Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Laborer Party leaders addressed domestic abuse allegations involving Congressman Keith Ellison during a Thursday news conference, just two days after he won the party’s primary for attorney general. DFL Party Chairman Ken Martin said Ellison has their support for now as the party’s candidate. "We take these allegations seriously, we are certainly eager to hear all the answers to the questions that have been raised,” said Martin. “We continue to watch the story develop, we don't know how it's going to develop and the conclusion at this point."

Hours after releasing a statement saying he will seek re-election, a Minnesota state lawmaker who police say had a rest-stop liaison with a 17-year-old boy, told 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS he has reconsidered his position and will not be running again. He also says he will not be at the upcoming special session to discuss flood relief for the area he represents. He says he does not want to be a distraction. In his original statement released Wednesday afternoon, 56-year-old Rep. Kerry Gauthier said, the scandal "has been an obvious tragic embarrassment to me. I am sorry for the hurt this...
