This is a hostile takeover
If you’re a Democrat, wake up.

[Stu Smith @thestustustudio]

DSA Co-Chair Ashik Siddique laid out the group’s strategy for using the Democratic Party as a launching pad for an independent socialist party.

Siddique said DSA is a “big tent” that includes members who want to reform Democrats, those calling for a clean break, and others pursuing a “dirty break” using the party’s ballot line until they are forced out.

He described the prevailing “party surrogate model” as running DSA candidates under the Democratic label while building the infrastructure for a future socialist party. Representing the DSA’s Groundwork Caucus, Siddique made the goal explicit: “We are trying to build the party, and in many ways we’re already doing it.”

It is important to understand that Siddique is the DSA’s respectable frontman, the buttoned up figure they present so attention drifts away from members calling to abolish the family or boasting that New York City is flying people in for trans healthcare and footing the bill.

It is an open admission that the DSA’s long game is to hollow out the Democratic Party from the inside until it is ready to replace it or compete against it directly, which, as you will hear later, is exactly what they do in deep blue areas.

Yes, Dems need to flip some GOP US Senate seats.

But while most Americans know who Graham Platner is, few have heard of Josh Turek.

Nice job media.

Let’s see …

Karen Bass - first Black woman Speaker of the CA House of Representatives; Chair of the CBC; Chair of the Foreign Affairs Africa Subcommittee; short list for Joe Biden’s VP; Mayor of Los Angeles

Xavier Becerra - member of the CA legislature; Chair of the CHC; Vice Chair of the US House Democratic Caucus; member of the powerful House Ways and Means Committee; CA Attorney General; US Secty of Health and Human Services

These are ACCOMPLISHED leaders, glass ceiling breakers in their respective communities and not folks … “just hanging around.”

@KarenBassLA @XavierBecerra

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

WTF is wrong with @alexwagner?

On MSNBC tonight, she attacked @HunterBiden over his addiction and personal life like some cheap right-wing troll, all because people are responding to him.

Maybe Democrats like Hunter because he’s real, unfiltered, and has actually lived through the media garbage he’s calling out.

You and your elitist friends don’t get to tell us who we’re allowed to like or defend. We’re sick of the failed media gatekeepers.

Hunter is saying what millions of Democrats have been waiting to hear.

Deal with it.

Trump has just destroyed the US beef industry. No country in their right mind is going to import US beef.

After Trump cut funding for Screwworm monitoring programs, the dangerous flesh-eating parasite has been found in US cattle for the first time since 1966.

[Judge Glock @judgeglock]

Wait Graham Platner got a 100% disability rating from the VA? Why isn’t that the biggest scandal of the whole campaign?

In another era a clearly healthy young man running around with the same rating as a paralyzed veteran would be an outrage even if he wasn’t running for Senate

[Daniel Goldman @danielsgoldman]

Brad Lander changes his positions so frequently, it can be hard to keep up. 

During the debate he claimed that as comptroller he did not have control over pension fund investments in Elbit Systems. So why did he brag about investing in Elbit Systems (Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer) on an Orthodox Jewish radio show in 2025?

[Candidly Tiff @tify330]

Welp!! She said it and he used it against her. That’s politics for ya!

[Rep. Dan Goldman @RepDanGoldman]

UPDATE: After @RepJasonCrow @SenCortezMasto @SenAlexPadilla and I led 70 of our colleagues in calling out @SecKennedy for unlawfully withholding pay from legal aid orgs representing vulnerable kids, we are hearing reports that HHS is finally beginning to process payments.

HOWEVER, HHS is still trying to condition these payments on lawyers handing over sensitive, confidential data about these migrant children. 

Legal providers cannot—and must not—be compelled to violate ethical obligations to get paid.

Stop the extortion!!

[Democracy Docket @DemocracyDocket]

The Trump administration admitted that a DOGE team member entered into an agreement with an organization that has been active in seeking to overturn state election results, Skye Perryman, CEO of @DemocracyDocket, says.

“Trump and this administration are trying to undermine people’s ability to vote and for votes to be counted.”

[Tymofiy Mylovanov @Mylovanov]

Applebaum: Trump is using a specific language from the 1930s: “enemies within,” “enemies of the people,” migrants and political opponents as “vermin,” migrants “poisoning the blood” of Americans.

That language comes from Hitler, Stalin and the Stasi. 1/

[queen of hoops snark 👸🏻✡️🏀🧜‍♀️ @layneashley222]

This is so fucking Trumpian

[Neera Tanden🌻 @neeratanden]

This would have been a good monologue to have in 2016 before we faced the 6-3 court. Alas I don't remember this energy in that election.

[Kaivan Shroff @KaivanShroff]

I’m a Democrat because I believe in smart, thoughtful, policy and leadership values.

I’m not a Democrat for the sole purpose of defeating Trump. That’s not a real enduring political project or vision. You can’t sacrifice substance just to win…or what are you even fighting for?

[Kaivan Shroff @KaivanShroff]

For those saying this is about more than Platner — yes.

It is an opportunity to pull back from the desperation that has led Dems to embrace leftist slopulism, Bernie Bro identity politics, over-reliance and capitulation to influencers/youtubers, & the consultants selling it all.

[Ron Filipkowski @RonFilipkowski]

Janet Mills signs are back out today.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

But I was told by the press that members of the Biden Administration were "toxic" and unelectable. 🤷

Wrong again.

[Claire @Claire_V0ltaire]

Ilhan Omar’s softness on Turkey drives her Russia sanctions opposition.
In 2019, Erdogan launched a brutal incursion into northern Syria, displacing Kurds, and freeing ISIS fighters. Omar voted against targeted sanctions on Turkey’s military, called sanctions a “failed playbook,” and went “present” on the Armenian Genocide.
Now she’s the lone Democrat blocking broad Russia sanctions, using the exact same “protect civilians” excuse.
Why? Turkey runs on Russian gas through TurkStream and Blue Stream pipelines, with fresh contracts under negotiation beyond 2026. Hitting Moscow hurts Erdogan’s energy lifeline.
This isn’t principle. It’s protecting Turkey by shielding Putin.

[Jeb Fain @JebFain]

This is not a hard call. Platner should not be the Democratic nominee. The more of us in the party who call it like it is — the better.

[Craig McCarthy @createcraig]

Controversial far-left New York House hopeful Darializa Avila Chevalier refused to answer when pressed by The Post Friday about past comments that parroted Russian President Vladimir Putin’s justification for invading Ukraine.

[Vote @letat_lechat]

The Democratic Party is destroying itself. The corrupt Left Wing backed it into a corner and told it to punch itself in the face.

Someone will write an expose about how LW consultants groomed a rapey guy & had Dem men flush their reputations for him.
