Sanders food-label mandate would raise grocery bills without helping kids, columnist argues

By Patrice Onwuka | Commentary, Townhall.com AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin I am a mom of three school-aged boys who play multiple sports. They mostly drink water but enjoy juice, lemonade, and even slushies regularly. Like most parents, I am committed to establishing good eating habits for them early in life, but I bristle at the idea of a Washington, D.C. bureaucrat dictating to me what they should drink.  That’s why I am concerned about Sen. Bernie Sanders’ (I-VT) Childhood Diabetes Reduction Act, supported by Senator Roger Marshall. This federal bill opens the door to heavy-handed regulations on food and beverage labels that promise to make kids healthier but instead will make choices for parents costlier with little or no impact on health outcomes. I support trans...

DSA wants Medicare for All as Medicare itself nears insolvency

By Chris Talgo | Commentary, Townhall AP Photo/Julia Demaree Nikhinson The Democratic Socialists of America’s (DSA) recently released “Workers Deserve More” program is full of silly policies that will probably never come to full fruition, fortunately. However, one of the more “mainstream” policies of the program, Medicare for All, absolutely could become the law of the land.  Medicare for All is popular because it drips empathy and means different things to people. There is no distinct definition. To some, it means a single-payer system. To others, it means providing subsidies to those who cannot afford healthcare.  Specifically, the DSA’s Medicare for All plan would “guarantee universal healthcare at no cost to individuals, including complete access to repro...

Socialist Backed Candidates Continue to Build Momentum in 2026

By: Newt Gingrich | Gingrich 360 The recent surge in endorsements by the Democratic Socialists of America for various electoral races — congressional, state, and local — is cause for concern. This year, the Democratic Socialists of America has endorsed 29 candidates for the House of Representatives. Of these, 11 have been defeated in their primaries, seven have won, and 11 are still awaiting their primaries. The importance of these endorsements lies in the positions held by some of these candidates. Here are a few examples of the candidates and their viewpoints: Melat Kiros, a former attorney, defeated 30-year incumbent Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette for Colorado’s 1st Congressional District. Endorsed by both the DSA, Denver DSA, and U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, Kir...

Maine Democrat Graham Platner Ends Senate Bid After Mounting Controversies

By Nolan D. McCaskill, Richard Cowan and Daniel Trotta | The Daily Signal Democrat Senate candidate Graham Platner of Maine on Wednesday promised to formally withdraw from the race, after a string of controversies including an accusation of sexual assault plunged one of the most competitive races in the 2026 midterm elections into turmoil. The suspension by the former U.S. Marine, announced in a video posted on social media, is likely to complicate Democrats’ efforts to win control of the Senate in the Nov. 3 elections. Republicans currently hold a 53-47 majority. In the recorded video, Platner repeated his denial of the sexual assault accusation and said the effort to remove him from the ballot was fueled by his effectivene...

The American Dream is slipping away and socialism is filling the gap

By Brian C. Joondeph | Commentary, American Thinker Not long ago, the American Dream followed a familiar script. Graduate from school, find a job, buy a modest home, start a family, and gradually build a better life than the generation before you. For many young Americans today, that script increasingly feels like historical fiction. A recent survey from Rasmussen Reports reveals a striking generational divide: younger Americans are far more likely than older voters to view socialism favorably. According to the survey, 44 percent of voters under 40 believe socialism is a better system, compared with only 12 percent of older Americans. Recent election results in New York City confirm Rasmussen’s findings.  For Americans who grew up during the Cold War — or ...

Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros Puts DeGette’s Three Decades in Congress at Risk

By: Colleen Slevin and Jesse Paul | The Colorado Sun Kiros has tapped into the national discontent for incumbents among Democratic voters and parlayed her social media savviness into a campaign that has DeGette’s supporters incredibly nervous. 29-year-old democratic socialist is giving U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette her biggest challenge in the 30 years since she was first elected to represent Denver, appearing on the verge of pushing Colorado’s longest serving member of Congress out of Washington. Melat Kiros, who was endorsed by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders last week, has tapped into the national discontent among Democratic voters toward incumbents and parlayed her social media savviness into a campaign that at the very least has DeGette’s supporters incre...

New ‘Urbanist Party’: Sanders, AOC, Hogg

By Paul Bedard | Washington Examiner With the Democratic Party continuing to splinter, progressives are building and expanding their base, especially in big cities and suburbs. As worn-out old bulls fight for power in Washington, the big population zones are opening their arms to the progressives led by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and party Vice Chairman David Hogg in numbers so large and supportive that a pollster tracking the movement has given it a name. “Call it the ‘Urbanist Party,’” said Jeremy Zogby, the managing partner of John Zogby Strategies, which polled for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his 2024 populist bid. “I think it has legs,” he added. Upset with how Democratic leaders are fumbling their attacks on P...

Tristan: Democrats are betting on fear to win back power

By George Tristan | Guest Columnist, Rocky Mountain Voice Nearly all the plexiglass barriers have been removed from checkout lines in grocery stores. It is rare to find any of the 6-foot spaced markers that facilitated social distancing. And thankfully, toilet paper is back in full supply on store shelves. However, the fear of COVID lives on. Many people still wear masks – some even don gloves.  A law enforcement officer recently refused to shake my hand when I extended mine to thank him for his service.  Undoubtedly, the most significant recent example of the effect of fear on the human psyche, was the pandemic. The daily uptick in the global death toll gripped the world in fear. It drove the masses to stand in line to inject an experimental drug into their veins tha...

‘Inorganic’ – GPS data reveals Bernie Sanders, AOC anti-Oligarchy rally was full Of serial protesters

By  Tyler Durden | Zero Hedge The Democratic Party launched a full-scale propaganda blitz in a desperate attempt to sway public opinion as its favorability ratings plunged to record lows. True to form, the party of leftist radicals prefers to bend reality—relying on rent-a-protesters or, in this case, inorganic crowds—to create a false perception of popularity. And that's exactly what unfolded on Friday in Denver.  Drone footage shows a large crowd as U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, spoke at Denver's Civic Center. The outspoken socialist wrote on X: "34,000 people out in Denver. Largest political rally there since 2008."  Sanders attempted to explain that the large turnout reflected what voters are saying: "No to authoritarianism. No to oligarchy...
