Democratic Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz announced Friday morning that she is now seeking reelection in Florida’s 20th Congressional District. Currently representing Florida’s 25th Congressional District, Wasserman Schultz announced the move in a video statement posted to X with a poster of former President Barack Obama visible in the background. She stated in the social media post that she intends to “continue to use my seniority in Washington to make Broward a safer, less expensive place to live, raise a family, and retire.” “I’ve fought for the people of Broward County my whole adult life, and you’ve always been able...

Somewhere, Ron DeSantis has got to be sitting back, booted feet propped on his desk, laughing and smoking a cigar at what has been playing out in Florida's 20th Congressional District. As RedState readers will recall, at the governor's urging, the Sunshine State redrew its congressional map in late April just as the Supreme Court's ruling in Louisiana v. Callais was being handed down. Republicans hold 20 of Florida's 28 congressional seats. The new map, if it survives the current court challenges, could potentially net them another four seats in the upcoming midterm elections. One of the districts impacted was...

As one might imagine, the reactions to Friday's Virginia Supreme Court ruling are fast and flowing, with the state's Republicans doing a victory dance while the state's Democrats - and high-ranking Dems in Congress - cope and seethe. Not surprisingly, Democrat House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) isn't talking much about "maximum warfare" at the moment, but he does seem to think Democrats may have another option or two on the table.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) has been making the rounds amid the rioting that has taken place in Los Angeles County - including in parts of her Congressional district, over the last several days. As per the norm, there has been the predictable gaslighting, histrionics, theatrics, and Republican Derangement Syndrome that we've come to expect over the years from the entrenched Congresswoman. As RedState reported, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) put on his best Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) persona in a press conference Tuesday when he was asked about Waters' denial of the violence happening during the LA riots. "I'm just...

Embattled Dept. of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas sat down for an interview Sunday with NBC's "Meet the Press," where among the issues discussed were the border crisis, the House GOP's attempts to impeach him, and the Hur report. The Hur report, as we've also talked about, has brought about a plethora of frenzied reactions from officials in Joe Biden's administration, including White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who during the Monday press briefing actually claimed Biden didn't need to take a cognitive test because he "proves every day how he operates, how he thinks," an alarming statement if there ever...

With the mainstream media and Political Pundit World busy essentially declaring Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ 2024 presidential campaign over not even two months after he formally announced, what’s an excitable MSNBC host to do? Tell us who the left really fears, that’s what. As RedState has previously reported, in their own not-so-unique but nevertheless illuminating way, members of the press, their allies on the left, as well as the truuuuue conservatives at the Lincoln Project, have been busy bees over the last year and a half or so telling us how DeSantis is “worse than Trump” because DeSantis in their...

It’s not hyperbolic to suggest that the vicious political war Joe Biden is currently waging against who he calls “MAGA Republicans” (aka “deplorables”) is one of the most un-American tactics ever put on display by a President against his own people in the history of American politics.At the core of Biden’s complaints about “MAGA Republicans” is the belief among many of them that the 2020 presidential election wasn’t decided fairly, that deception and underhanded tactics were involved. Further, Biden says he is concerned that some so-called “election deniers” might go and get themselves elected, and then our democracy will really...

There are many, many, many things we should never accept lectures from CNN over, and defining what this country is and isn’t is definitely one of them.CNN’s editor-at-large Chris Cillizza, who once infamously declared that “Reporters don’t root for a side. Period,” apparently became fauxfended after Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) told the New York Times in a Monday piece on how Republicans are “shrugging” over Democratic “warnings of democracy in peril” that “the idea of democracy and majority rule really is what goes against our history and what the country stands for.”Further, Paul stated, “The Jim Crow laws came out...

Leftist activists, including members of North Carolina NAACP, are in Raleigh, North Carolina, today for the so-called Moral March. Their mission? To screech about everything from abortion restrictions to fast-food wages. North Carolina blogger extraordinaire Sister Toldjah has a must-read Moral March primer on the Moral Monday movement and its hateful organizers. As bused-in protesters and professional agitators prepared to promote their progressive causes — including oh-so-racist voter ID requirements — the state NAACP told participants make sure to have photo ID handy “at all times.” According to the “Important Dos and Don’ts for Marchers!!!” you should bring a “driver’s...
