Nationwide May Day Protests Spotlight Communist And Socialist Linked Activist Groups

By Asra Q. Nomani, Preston Mizell, Michael Dorgan | Fox News Democratic Socialists of America chapters, groups funded by China-based tycoon Neville Roy Singham lead the network with Democratic groups including the California Democratic Party. FIRST ON FOX: Some 600 groups, including hard-line communists and groups affiliated with the Democratic Party, are mobilizing all over the country today to demonstrate for May Day, socialism's high holy day. A Fox News Digital investigation has identified a sprawling "red-blue" network with combined annual revenue of about $2 billion organizing some 3,000 protests and events and advancing what critics describe as an anti-American agenda. They have called for Americans to skip work, school and shopping. At the center of th...

GOP Urged To Refocus As Voter Turnout Concerns Mount for Midterms

By Leona Salinas | Commentary, The Washington Examiner Just eight weeks ago, during his State of the Union address, President Donald Trump argued that economic stabilization is underway. He stated that egg prices had fallen by 60% and cited declining gas prices as evidence of progress. Republicans thought they could walk into the 2026 midterm elections with the most dangerous assumption in politics: that because Trump is in office, the ground is secure. How quickly things can change in a matter of weeks. Gas prices scratched an average of $4.12 per gallon, and who is monitoring egg prices when there’s a much more pressing situation in the Middle East? Even as signs of stabilization appear, frustration remains high. And frustration d...

Colorado Primary Battles Intensify As Voters Face Crowded 2026 Ballots

By Ernest Luning | Colorado Politics With just over two months to go until ballots are counted in Colorado’s primary, candidates are squaring off in high-stakes contests for their party’s nominations in statewide and congressional races approaching the midterm election. For the first time in memory, state voters will have the chance to elect an entire new slate of state-level executive officials — from governor and attorney general to secretary of state and state treasurer — since those offices’ Democratic incumbents all face term limits. At the same time, Democrats will decide which candidate to nominate in the state’s marquee U.S. House race, where the Republican incumbent in the 8th Congressional District is facing three potential challengers in what’s expected to b...

Democrat Push to Expand Supreme Court Could Redefine Constitutional Balance

By Jonathan Turley | Commentary, Jonathan Turley Blog Various Democrats have been openly discussing their plans after retaking power to change the system so they never lose power again. Democratic strategist James Carville has been one of the most vocal and returned to the subject this week in laying out how they will make D.C. and Puerto Rico states and pack the Supreme Court with a liberal majority. On his podcast with Al Hunt, Carville explained, “If the Democrats win the presidency and both houses of Congress, I think on day one, they should make Puerto Rico [and] D.C. a state, and they should expand the Supreme Court to 13. F— it. Eat our dust.” Notably, this week, New Jersey just elected a radical new member, Analilia Mejia, who ran on pa...

Major Democrat Donor Cuts Ties With Rep. Eric Swalwell After Disturbing Sexual Assualt Claims

By Olivia Rondeau | Breitbart News Stephen Cloobeck, the billionaire and former California governor hopeful who dropped out of the race to fund disgraced Rep. Eric Swalwell’s (D-CA) gubernatorial campaign, has kicked the congressman out of his mansion and reportedly wants his $1 million in donations back after multiple women accused him of sexual assault and misconduct. While Cloobeck called Swalwell his “little brother” in a March interview with Politico and “scoffed” when previously asked by the New York Post about the lawmaker’s rumored behavior with female staffers, the timeshare mogul told the outlet on Sunday that he is cutting ties with Swalwell — and the rest of the Democratic Party.  “I am no longer supp...

Rahm Emanuel Warns Democrats Have Lost Focus On Working Class

By Jay Caruso | Washington Examiner Rahm Emanuel has never been mistaken for a shrinking violet. As former President Bill Clinton‘s senior adviser, former President Barack Obama’s chief of staff, and the mayor of Chicago, he operates with a bluntness that has made him enemies on both sides of the aisle. So, when he sits down on a podcast and unloads on the Democratic Party of which he is a member, from the right, it is worth paying attention, even if you factor in that he is almost certainly running for president in 2028 and has every reason to position himself as the adult in the room. He is not wrong. In a wide-ranging conversation on the Reason podcast, The Fifth Column, with Michael Moynihan and Matt Welch, Emanuel laid out a critique ...

SAVE America Act Fight Heads To Senate Floor In High Stakes Messaging Battle

By: David Sivak | Washington Examiner Senate Republicans are planning a marathon debate on President Donald Trump’s marquee elections bill, a move designed to ease tensions with the MAGA Right after Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) ruled out a talking filibuster. Thune’s staff has been gaming out days of floor debate that are likely to begin next Monday or Tuesday, according to two sources familiar with the discussions. Also involved are the White House legislative affairs office and Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), the lead co-sponsor of the legislation, dubbed the SAVE America Act. The contours of that process are still coming together, with Thune first announcing the strategy to his conference on Tuesday, but the overall goal is to replicate a ...

Texas Democrat says President Trump’s State of the Union changed her vote

By Joni Werner | Commentary, USA TODAY I believe Trump has only the best interests of the U.S. at the core of all his decisions. I do believe the changes he has made are working. Democrats should offer him more support. I watched President Donald Trump's entire 2026 State of the Union speech. And I loved it! Watching it made me more likely to vote in the midterm elections. This was the first time I wasn't bored and actually agreed with everything he had to say. I appreciate his businessman's approach to the economy and tariffs. I loved that he celebrated the people directly affected by his policy changes and celebrated the economy wins by putting America first. I am disappointed in all the elected leaders who refused to celebrate th...

Former Colorado Senator Sonya Jaquez Lewis Convicted of Forging Documents

By Jacob Factor | KDVR DENVER (KDVR) — A former Colorado state senator who was at the center of an ethics investigation over treatment of her staff has been convicted of forging documents in the investigation. A Denver jury on Wednesday convicted Sonya Jaquez Lewis, who represented parts of Boulder County as a Democrat until she resigned in February last year, of one count of attempting to influence a public servant and three counts of forgery. “The public expects that governments operate honestly and transparently and that elected officials be held to a high standard,” Denver District Attorney John Walsh said in a statement posted on Facebook after the conviction. “Sonya Jaquez Lewis has now been convicted by a Denver jury of fabricating documents during a l...
