Among Democrats, a whopping 66 view []

Trump rips into communism in scathing attack as momentum grows across the US

Sky News host James Morrow discusses the growing influence of Democratic Socialists following recent primary victories in New York. “Well, a few days ago, three democrats, but they're not really democrats, they're from something called the Democratic Socialists of America, won primaries that all but guarantee them seats in the US Congress and the New York State Senate,” Mr Morrow said. “They are too far to the left of even the usual progressive democrats we poke fun at on this program. “In New York, Zohran Mamdani, the mayor who was the kingmaker behind these elections, has just frozen the rent on one million apartments … You see the scam that is being pulled here, classic communist looting, where the old owners are shuffled off for various politically connected collectives.”

Centrist Democrats Rebuke Party’s Left Wing: ‘We Are Capitalist, Not Socialist’

Left-wing Democrats have exulted after democratic socialists emerged victorious from House primaries in deep-blue New York districts this week.

The Great American Flop

When you've raised inflation by implementing illegal tariffs against our trade partners. When you've sent your brown-shirts in masks in unmarked cars to scoop up and kill US citizens unrepentantly. When you drive up gas prices by unnecessarily attacking Iran and starting a war that's hampered the Strait of Hormuz. When you deny there's an affordability crisis. When you raise the cost of healthcare for millions of Americans for tax cuts to your friends. When you refuse to sign the bipartisan Housing Act. Even your MAGA cult will not turn out for your narcissistic events. Oh yeah, it's still extremely sparse at the Great American State Fair -- despite it being MAHA Monday. — Justin Baragona (@justinbaragona.bsky.social) June 29, 2026 at 9:55 AMread more

Meet Aber Kawas, DSA-Backed Palestinian American Who Won New York State Senate Primary

The Democratic Socialists of America’s slate dominated the New York primaries last week, with Aber Kawas winning the Democratic nomination for a New York state Senate seat in the New York City borough of Queens with a 20-point lead against progressive State Assemblymember Steven Raga. Born and raised in New York to Palestinian parents, Kawas campaigned on affordable housing, universal healthcare, immigration reform, public transit, climate action and opposition to U.S. support for Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Over the past decade, the DSA has grown from about 5,000 members to over 100,000 members in 200 chapters across the United States. “What we are saying is that we want to make sure that people who are struggling are provided the best social services possible by our government,” says Aber Kawas of DSA candidates. “That is not a threat to people. That is a really hopeful message that so many Americans and so many people are looking for, and that is why we were able to win in these landslide victories.”
