House Democrat: Idea of Democratic Party going hard left 'frankly overblown'
Rep. Glenn Ivey (D-Md.) said Friday that talk about the Democratic Party taking a hard-left turn is “frankly overblown,” comments that came after notable wins by democratic socialists in Democratic primaries. “I mean, there are a lot of other people, like me, who won our elections on Tuesday who don’t take those kinds of positions....

They run to Axios with all their complaints.

It's about who is in power and whose friends and families get the goodies.Some ideologies get more goodies, of course.

Americans need to 'fight for the soul' of the US: Lawmaker McGovern | The Bottom Line
Progressive Democratic politicians who refuse to take donations from pro-Israel groups have won several party primary elections across the United States. Democratic Congressman Jim McGovern tells host Steve Clemons that the left is rising because Americans “want more from Democrats”. “Right now, we're doing a lot of bad things all around the world, and people need to protest,” McGovern says. On US policy ranging from Cuba to Israel, he argues that Congress has become “just a rubber stamp on whatever this president wants to do”. “We need to fight for the soul of this country,” McGovern adds. #unitedstates #politics #uspolitics #history

Hannity Weeps After Big Night For 'Radical Socialists'
Pretty amusing, Sean Hannity seemed on the verge of tears last night as the results from the New York Democratic primaries came in. Of course, he quickly brought on Stephen Miller to say that Democrats were now adopting a radical, revolutionary, and in many cases violent ideology. And soon after that, willing dupe John Fetterman to decry the 'dirtbag left,' those who want to ‘abolish ICE,’ ‘abolish the police,’ ‘abolish the border.'” HANNITY: As a Fox News alert, incumbent Congressman Dan Goldman, who was just banned from a New York City coffee shop because of his support for Israel, he has now lost his primary to a radical socialist backed by Mamdani. It appears that, you know, a pretty scary transformation is now fully underway in the Democratic Party, especially in a blue state like New York. Pathetic, as always. You can bring Sean Hannity to the brink of tears over a Democrat losing if that Democrat was backed by AIPAC lol pic.twitter.com/EnMAaoflH4 — jordan (@JordanUhl) June 24, 2026 read more

Ana Kasparian and Cenk euchre who have been the Tanya voices for independent thinking lay it out for the establishment of both parties: value of America and Americans first, or hit the road Jack. That goes for Nancy Pelosi, Chuck, Schumer, Mitch McConnell, Hakeem Jeffries, and any other establishment politician who thinks we owe them Bupkis. You work for us dudes.
