Maybe it's time for commentators and politicians to stop scoffing at people worried about noncitizens voting in US elections.

Bill Maher’s audience audibly gasps when he reads what the Democratic Socialists of America are actually saying out loud:

MAHER: “Trump has told 1 trillion lies, but when he says the DSA are actually COMMUNISTS, that’s not one of them.”

“And it’s not hard to prove it just by quoting the DSA and their candidates.”

“J.D. Vance was on the show, and I told him that if the Democratic Party keeps going in the direction of the DSA, my vote was in play. And all I heard all vacation was, ‘Oh, my God, you’re a Republican now.’ No, that's not what I said. I said in play, and here’s why.”

“Because not a week goes by where I don’t read about some newly chosen, exciting new face in the Democratic Party. And then when that face opens its mouth, the Communist Manifesto or some other crazy shit comes out! Again.”

“Let’s just read the quotes. The DSA platform says: ‘You work as much as you are able and no more than needed.’ If that was any closer to Karl Marx’s dictum, from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, they’d be sued for plagiarism.”

“New York Mayor Mamdani once tweeted, Karl Marx’s words exactly. They’re not trying to hide it. Their most popular influencer, Hasan Piker, thinks communism is so groovy, he laments the fall of two of the most murderous regimes in history, the Soviet Union and Chairman Mao's China.”

“Mamdani's aide, his top aide, Cea Weaver, said, ‘If you don't believe in the government's sacred right to seize property, it's over.’ And ‘impoverish the white middle class.’ What? That's a goal? You know you're supposed to scare people into voting for you, right?”

“One of the new, soon-to-be Democratic congresspeople, Darlesia Chavalier, supports seizing all properties from landlords and said, ‘Seize the means of production.’ Mamdani has said ‘The end goal is seizing the means of production.’ I think they want to seize the means of production.”

“Now, maybe you missed that in school or missed school altogether, but THAT'S COMMUNISM.”

“Now the coalition within the DSA called the Marxist Unity Group is in ascendance. And I must take them at their word. When their words include, ‘Our commitment is to the long-term struggle for a fully liberated classless society. In a word, communism.’”

“What do they have to do, tweet out ‘Elect more communists’? Oh, yeah, Cea Weaver did that.”

[Shows tweet, audience audibly gasps]

“Yes, [she really did that]! ... People gotta realize this is going on.”

NEW: Dr. Fauci writes in his diary that in June 2021, he received a (classified?) briefing from the CIA on the origins of COVID-19 while in a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) at NIH, and reveals that the CIA told him they had intercepted Chinese communications in Wuhan, including indications that the Chinese had transferred pangolin viruses from Beijing to Wuhan. Additionally, Fauci writes that the CIA had information from sources that the Chinese military had conducted unknown experiments in Wuhan, and that the CIA had information about a "super spreader" event in China in July 2020 in relation to "passage of a virus in a laboratory."

Fauci writes that the CIA briefer, who he names, was "almost pathetic in her naivety and obvious lack of appreciation of any of the science of what she was talking about."

NEWS Canada’s four straight years of record-breaking wildfires have emitted at least 800M metric total tons of carbon, now an annual public health crisis that’s wiped out the liberal government’s climate mandates including net zero powerplants, vehicle emission standards, and federal carbon pricing. Dangerous smoke now blankets 23 U.S. states and D.C. with dangerous particulates and toxins including toluene, xylenes, benzenes, and formaldehyde. Particulate pollution triggers strokes, heart attacks and asthma attacks. Senator Bernie Moreno to introduce a sanctions bill against Canadian officials to revoke their visas and block their assets. U.S. lawmakers demand Canada stop its policy choice of failing to manage its forests now annually exploding into uncontrollable fires. Americans are now forced to yearly breathe its hazardous smoke. #Canada #wildfires #news #breaking #BreakingNews #breakingnews #BREAKING #news @MarkJCarney @x @Reuters @AP @FoxNews @EveningEdit @FoxBusiness

A Nazi tattoo they could forgive.

Roughing up his girlfriend? No problem—she's a Republican.

Living off government benefits and his rich mommy and daddy while pretending to be working class? That's just the profile of your average DSA member.

But then Platner committed the gravest of sins: He started to slip in the polls.

Percentage who say they are extremely or very proud to be American:

2001:
🟥Republicans: 90%
🟦Democrats: 85%

2026:
🟥Republicans: 92% (+0)
🟦Democrats: 36% (-56)

The Democrat change in just 25 years is insane.

He was deported once.

The first Trump administration sent him back to Mexico.

He came back. Illegally. To the same state.

He was arrested for DUI. Released.
Arrested for DUI. Released.
Arrested for DUI. Released.
Arrested for DUI. ICE asked the jail to hold him.

The state refused.

He walked out.

A year later, he stabbed a 23-year-old mother, her 54-year-old mother, and her two-week-old son to death in their own home in Modesto.

He had been told to leave the country. He came back.

He had been caught four separate times for drunk driving.

He had been requested by federal immigration four separate times.

The state of California, on principle, said no every time.

And a two-week-old baby paid for it.

He should be alive.
His mother should be alive.
His grandmother should be alive.

God bless every American who refuses to call this normal.

In Argentina, rent freezes destroyed the housing market.

When Milei got rid of the price controls, supply rose by 300%, and rent prices decreased compared to inflation.

But communists are nothing if not absolute idiots who refuse to learn from history.

ABC News is tougher on Trump about algae in the reflecting pool than they were on Biden about his disastrous exit from Afghanistan that cost American soldiers’ lives.

As I have reported several times and now acknowledged by the Governor of California...Gavin and his wife are under federal investigation... what he failed to tell you... This began during the Biden Admin. Kind of a big detail.

Elon just created 4,400 millionaires in a single day.

400 of them are now worth over $100 million.

These aren't VCs. They're SpaceX employees, and the list includes welders, technicians, and cafeteria staff, because for two decades the company paid every level of the workforce in stock instead of higher salaries.

Juan Hernandez immigrated from Mexico and took a $28 an hour contractor welding job in 2015. He says he didn't even know what SpaceX was. The company gave him a $10,000 equity grant and let him buy more shares through payroll deductions. That stake is now worth $880,000.

Trevor Hise's parents wanted him to take a stable job at General Electric. He picked SpaceX instead, stayed 12 years, and accumulated over 100,000 shares. At the $135 listing price that's $13.5 million. He's 37 and semiretired. His words: "The magnitude of this has been ridiculous."

The most telling detail came before the listing. Over 100 employees quietly banded together and negotiated a group wealth management deal covering up to $5 billion, because none of them had ever needed a wealth manager before.

Software IPOs have minted millionaires for 30 years. This is the first one where the money went to the factory floor.

🚨 BREAKING: In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court has ruled that Louisiana's creation of a majority black district that stretches across the state from Shreveport to Baton Rouge was an unconstitutional gerrymander.

It did not strike down Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act entirely, but ruled that drawing districts on the sole basis of race is unconstitutional.

Without racial gerrymanders in the southern states, Republicans could gain at least a dozen seats.

BREAKING: A major fraud suspect in Minnesota flees the country days before his trial. Abdirashid Said was the top defendant in an $11 million racketeering PCA fraud case, the largest the MN Attorney General’s office has ever prosecuted. But he skipped town before a pretrial hearing this week.

[Sam Stein @samstein]

The accusations against Swalwell aren't he-said-she-said. They're well reported, fairly corroborated, detailed and damning. And while he's denying them, it's with precise language ("These allegations are false" v. I have never engaged in any such type of behavior). He has allies abandoning him (Pelosi giving the TKO) and, in all likelihood, more stories coming. This is unsustainable.

[Alan Jacoby @AlanJacoby]

While President Trump is being hysterically smeared by the media for even considering targeted strikes on Iran’s nuclear and military sites, let’s remember the actual record of Democratic presidents:

Bill Clinton deliberately bombed Serbia’s civilian power plants and infrastructure for 78 straight days in 1999, plunging cities into darkness and causing widespread civilian hardship—yet faced zero war crime accusations from the same media.

Barack Obama’s administration systematically destroyed ISIS oil infrastructure that powered entire regions and provided electricity and fuel for millions of civilians, with no serious accusations of war crimes from the press.

Both Democratic presidents engaged in aggressive military actions with significant civilian ripple effects, and the media largely cheered or stayed silent.

Now, the same outlets are rushing to label hypothetical precision strikes under Trump as “war crimes.”

The double standard is glaring: when Democrats bomb, it’s “humanitarian intervention” or “counterterrorism.” When Trump defends American interests against a regime racing toward nuclear weapons, it’s suddenly an outrage.

Trump’s approach prioritizes decisive strength and deterrence to protect the U.S. and its allies—exactly the kind of leadership that kept adversaries in check, unlike the inconsistent and consequence-free posturing from the previous Democratic administrations.

Turns out, when you lower the standards, you just fail the kids in a different way.
