Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg is leading in new polling on a hypothetical Democratic presidential primary as the party seeks a new path after 2024 losses. An Emerson College Polling survey released Thursday found Buttigieg at the top of the pack with 18 percent support, followed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) at 16 percent. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) notched 11 percent support, while Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) and former Vice President Kamala Harris — the party’s 2024 nominee — earned 10 percent each. Another 9 percent of survey respondents backed Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D), and 18 percent

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is gaining a reputation for penning nonsensical solo dissents in what should otherwise be unanimous Supreme Court decisions. And it’s becoming increasingly clear that her colleagues are no longer shy about putting such incoherence in its place. The latest incident came on Thursday in the Supreme Court’s Fernandez v. United States decision, in which the 8-1 majority held that “the supposed invalidity” of a prisoner’s conviction “is not among the ‘extraordinary and compelling reasons’ that justify compassionate release.” (Compassionate release is a process by which convicted individuals may seek a reduced sentence or early release due
Here's the latest • Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton will defeat incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the Republican Senate primary runoff, CNN’s Decision Desk projects. Paxton will advance as the GOP nominee to face Democrat James Talarico in November in one of the country’s highest-profile US Senate races. • Paxton secured President Donald Trump’s endorsement just a week out from the runoff election. While Paxton has a strong following in the state’s Republican grassroots, Trump’s endorsement likely helped seal Cornyn’s fate. • There are several other notable races on the ballot that highlight deep divides within the two major parties.
"American Sniper" widow Taya Kyle shredded Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner's "cowardly" comments, calling out the progressive Democrat for alleging her late husband inflated his kill numbers by shooting innocent civilians. "Nothing says, I want attention more than disparaging a national hero who's also dead..." Kyle responded on "The Sunday Briefing." "It is cowardly, it's lowbrow to lie about somebody else, and it distracts from what you've probably said..." Kyle accused Platner, a controversial challenger of incumbent Republican Sen. Susan Collins, of employing a "cheap political trick" to attach his name to someone who is "beloved". "That's working for him
Massie Won’t Rule Out 2028 Presidential Run

Republican Representative Thomas Massie signaled Sunday that his national political career may extend well beyond his upcoming departure from Congress, refusing to rule out a potential 2028 presidential bid following his recent primary defeat. Speaking on NBC News’ Meet the Press, the libertarian-leaning lawmaker declined to commit to specific future plans but left the door open to a White House run when pressed about speculation among his supporters. “I will not rule out anything, and right now I’m not going to rule in anything,” Massie told moderator Kristen Welker, adding that he plans to take time before deciding his next
BUNIA, Democratic Republic of the Congo — People set fire to an Ebola treatment center in a town at the heart of the outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on Thursday after being stopped from retrieving the body of a local man, a witness and a senior police officer said, as fear and anger grow over a health crisis that doctors are struggling to contain. (Snip) The bodies of those who die from Ebola can be highly contagious and lead to further spread when people prepare bodies for burial and gather for funerals. The dangerous work of burying suspected
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani said Thursday that the city will use a lottery system to distribute 1,000 World Cup tickets at $50 apiece to residents of the five boroughs. In collaboration with the New York-New Jersey host committee, the mayor said the city is also providing free round-trip bus transportation to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey for lottery winners attending the June matches. “A World Cup is coming to our backyard, and we want to ensure working-class New Yorkers have the opportunity to be part of it,” Mamdani said in a Thursday statement. “We sat down with the Host
Mark Fuhrman, the former Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) detective who played a central role in the 1995 O.J. Simpson murder trial, has died at the age of 74. Chief Deputy Coroner Lynette Acebedo of Kootenai County, Idaho, confirmed Fuhrman's death to Fox News on Monday. Fuhrman died last week, according to NBC4. TMZ reported that Fuhrman's death followed a battle with an aggressive form of throat cancer. During the trial for the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman, Fuhrman became a key figure after discovering a bloody glove at Simpson’s Rockingham estate. Prosecutors said the item matched

(Snip) He said he doesn't believe the virus came from the Argentinian region where the MV Hondius left from, but rather all signs point to it originating in the Andes Cordillera region in northern Argentina and Chile, where the specific carrier, the long-tailed rice rat, is common. "There's absolutely every reason to believe that this came from rodents," Pavlin said. He said WHO has confirmed the first hantavirus cases on board the MV Hondius stemmed

Black Caucus could be wiped out by redistricting wars 30 replies
WASHINGTON — The Congressional Black Caucus, a power center in the Democratic Party for decades, saw its membership rise this Congress to an all-time high of 58 House members. Now, thanks to a Supreme Court redistricting ruling that’s expected to dramatically diminish Black representation on Capitol Hill, the CBC is fighting a five-alarm fire that could devastate its membership. CBC Chair Yvette Clarke, D-N.Y., said as many as 19 of the caucus’ members could be affected by the redistricting wars in a worst-case scenario, though she noted it’s still fluid given that states are still drawing new maps in the

Carroll — for now 22 replies
NEW YORK — President Donald Trump won’t have to pay an $83 million defamation award to a longtime advice columnist until the U.S. Supreme Court gets a chance to review the case or reject an appeal, according to a court entry Tuesday. (Snip) Smith said last week there was a “fair prospect” that the Supreme Court will find in favor of Trump, who has called Carroll’s claims first made publicly in 2019 that she was sexually attacked by Trump in a Manhattan luxury department store dressing room in spring 1996 a “made up scam.” The $83 million award to Carroll
A law that was brought in under Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to give all candidates an equal chance at the ballot is now being contested. In California, the primaries — dubbed the “jungle primaries” — work in a way where the two candidates, regardless of party, who secure the top two positions in the June primary advance to the general election. Now, a newly filed application is aiming to change that. (Snip) “It was extremely scary to envision the November ballot for governor with Republicans on it,” Maviglio told the Los Angeles Times.

The June 2024 presidential debate between then-President Joe Biden (D) and then-GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump was inarguably one of the most consequential events in American political history, largely because it proved to the American people beyond a shadow of a doubt that the occupant of the Oval Office was unwell. As we all know, it led to Biden withdrawing from the presidential race three weeks later after essentially being forced out by his fellow Democrats. It was a reckoning of sorts for the Democrat Party, the Biden-Harris administration, and the mainstream media, all of whom played starring roles in the deliberate years-long cover-up of Biden's decline,

Mamdani Begins to Implement Communism
19 replies
The Communist Twelver Shi’ite mayor of New York City, Zohran Mamdani, made a major announcement on Tuesday: he is beginning to implement the Marxist seizure of property in New York City.
He did not, of course, state that in so many words. As Marxists always do, he couched his plans in the language of social justice, claiming that he was striking out against bad landlords and providing an opportunity for all New Yorkers to live in decent, fairly-priced housing. And as is always the case with Marxist promises, Mamdani’s big announcement was an obvious and flagrant lie to cover up for his seizure of private property, not so much
Spoiler alert: Naaah. But it's certainly fun to fantasize.
Yes, John Cornyn may have been a slightly safer bet than Ken Paxton in a general election. Given the relative difference between how the two would have voted over the next six years, the gain from nominating Paxton probably doesn't justify the assumed risk of dethroning the incumbent Cornyn. It might take more money to fight for the seat in the general election, but that assumes that Democrats would have left Texas alone had Cornyn eked out a win over Paxton.
In the end, though, Texas is Texas,

Healthcare to Migrants as Budgets Spin
Out of Control 17 replies
A host of deep blue states are quietly pulling back from their generous programs of “free” healthcare to migrants as federal dollars dry up and their budgets continue to spiral into the red. With the Trump administration beginning to close the spigot of billions in federal aid that many states lavishly spent caring for illegal migrants, sates including California, Colorado, Illinois, New York, Oregon Washington, and the District of Columbia are finding that they cannot afford to replace the chocked off federal dollars with their own state budget dollars. This reality setting in has caused state officials to begin scaling back their freebies —
On Memorial Day, Minnesota Democrat officials, including Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, dumped the troops and headed to the eyesore known as ‘George Floyd Square’, an epicenter of the BLM riots, to groove along with the ‘Brass Resistance Band’ and a DJ in honor of the fallen violent criminal who had died of a drug overdose while resisting arrest.
“Today, we remember George Floyd,” Mayor Frey tweeted. “The weight of what happened is still with our city six years later – and the responsibility to keep moving forward together is too. I know we can keep building a Minneapolis that is safer, more accountable, and more worthy
Here Come da Judge!

There’s a growing scandal in Georgia. Seems a woman federal court judge has been reprimanded for having sex in the courtroom chambers with a male police officer. The sex was duly accompanied by loud, um, sex noises within easy hearing distance of the judge’s staff.
This happened over and over. And over again. For years.
One of the judge’s discomfited clerks reported the matter, and the appellate court conducted an investigation. The judge outright lied to the appellate court investigators, and attacked the clerk who had filed the report.
Democrats are shaking their heads in disbelief at the timing of Jill Biden’s memoir and her change in tone about Joe Biden’s disastrous debate performance.
The party would rather talk about the high cost of living and increased gas prices under President Trump, Democrats told The Post, rather than relive the debate around Joe Biden’s cognitive health.
“We need this as much as we need a hole in the head,” Jim Manley, a Democratic strategist who worked in the Senate for years, said. Jill Biden’s confessional about her concerns over the former president’s health is dropping as the party fights to win control of Congress in November.
CBS News Editor-in-Chief continues draining the woke swamp at the long-compromised Sunday news program, 60 Minutes.
The Gateway Pundit has documented for years how ’60 Minutes’ repeatedly targeted conservatives and President Trump with one-sided hit pieces while giving Democrats and their allies soft-glove treatment.
The show’s credibility collapsed further after the disastrous Kamala Harris interview that triggered a major lawsuit and exposed its activist bent.
Bari Weiss, who famously walked away from The New York Times over its radical leftward lurch and cancel culture, is now applying the same standards at CBS.
There is a bizarre controversy out of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, where a federal judge has been reprimanded for engaging in repeated, loud sexual encounters during office hours in chambers with a police officer. (snip) Ironically, among the clues about the judge’s identity, the order mentions that the judge attended the “victory party for a District Attorney” in 2024, the night before “the judge’s summer interns’ first day.” The Georgia primary was on May 21, 2024, and the date coincides with the victory party for Fani Willis,
Boston’s liberal mayor is promoting a transgender menstruation event at a public library — offering attendees a catered meal and free period underwear — just weeks after the city revealed a budget shortfall of nearly $50 million.
Mayor Michelle Wu’s office for LGBTQ advancement has partnered with the Massachusetts National Organisation for Women and several local pro-LGBTQ groups to host an event called Trans Period Pride on 17 June at a branch of Boston Public Library. Promoted via an Instagram post decorated in the pink and blue shades of the transgender pride flag, the event is billed as “another consciousness raising conversation around transgender experiences with menstruation.”
