Democratic National Committee (DNC) Chairman Ken Martin is distancing himself from his party’s own long-awaited review of the 2024 election, openly criticizing the report after Democrats suffered a major defeat to President Donald Trump.
Martin described the party’s loss as both “painful and consequential,” while acknowledging that Democrats face serious challenges with voters heading into future election cycles.
“I am not proud of this product; it does not meet my standards, and it won’t meet your standards,” Martin said of the report.
The DNC chairman went even further, stating that he could not “in good faith put the DNC’s stamp of approval on it.”

A House subcommittee held a hearing on left-wing calls to pack the U.S. Supreme Court with liberal activists on Thursday. And unsurprisingly, not a single House Democrat in attendance condemned such a radical proposal.
Hosted by the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Courts, Intellectual Property, Artificial Intelligence, and the Internet, lawmakers heard testimony from several legal specialists about Democrats’ ongoing efforts to undermine SCOTUS. As indicated by its title (“Court Packing: A Threat to the Supreme Court’s Legitimacy”), the hearing was supposed to examine how the left is using such efforts to push for stacking the court with left-wing activists who will rule on issues in their favor.
While House Republicans and their witnesses kept to the topic and underscored how packing the Supreme Court would undermine the rule of law and the legitimacy of the institution, the subcommittee’s Democrats couldn’t help themselves. Not only did every single leftist representative in attendance decline to disavow packing SCOTUS, these members went out of their w

Planned Parenthood is putting women’s lives and health at risk once again.
The abortion business has launched a program that sells abortion pills to women who are not even pregnant, allowing them to stockpile the drugs for possible future use in ending the lives of their unborn babies.
The initiative, called “Just In Case Abortion Pills,” comes from Planned Parenthood Great Northwest, Hawai’i, Alaska, Indiana and Kentucky.
It makes the two-drug regimen of mifepristone and misoprostol available in advance to residents of Washington state and Hawaii. Women can obtain the dangerous abortion pills in person at one of the affiliate’s 16 health centers or, in some cases, by mail.

The stories of troubling past comments and behavior keep surfacing in the campaign of US Senate candidate Graham Platner, a Democrat from Maine.
After an initial controversy surrounding a tattoo that appeared to depict Nazi symbolism, he attracted backlash for unearthed explicit Reddit posts that many described as disturbing.
Now, more of his previous online musings are coming to light, and these are particularly objectionable, as Breitbart reported:
“This video never gets old,” Platner wrote in a June 2019 Reddit post, referring to a viral video featuring Pfc. Ted Daniels in a 2012 firefight with the Taliban, which resulted in the soldier being shot four times and earning a Purple Heart for his injuries.
“Dumb motherfucker didn’t deserve to live,” the Democrat Senate hopeful — whose archived Reddit rants can be found on the Maine Monitor’s database — said in his since-deleted post.
Platner went on to write, “At least his stupidity and fat ass wheezing are available for all future infantrymen to witness and hold in contempt.”
“Poor marksmanship on the Taliban’s part is the only reason this mouthbreather made it home, he managed to make every possible shit decision possible when it comes to small unit combat,” Platner added.
The unearthed posts come from a deleted, but archived, Reddit account known as “P-Hustle,” which Platner previously acknowledged was his.

The owner of the Future Leaders Early Learning Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota, was charged with defrauding Minnesota’s Child Care Assistance Program on Wednesday. Fahima Egeh Mahamud is accused of filing bogus claims to receive $4.6 million in government grants to serve thousands of meals to low-income children, but the meals allegedly were never served.
Mahamud’s daycare center was one of the places featured in Nick Shirley’s viral video earlier this year, highlighting rampant fraud in Minnesota daycares. According to reports, Mahamud registered Future Leaders Early Learning Center in a federal child nutrition program through the Minnesota nonprofit organization Feeding Our Future. As part of the scheme, she allegedly claimed that her daycare center collected required co-payments from impoverished families to receive the federal government subsidies to provide meals to children, none of which actually happened, according to prosecutors.
“One of the requirements of participation, by both child care providers and recipients, was the collection and payment of co-payments,” read official court documents. “The co-payment was paid to the family’s child care provider biweekly. The co-payment amount was based on family and annual income after allowable de

In fact…the officials remained pretty vague concerning details about the suspects.
Law enforcement discovered a manifesto and over 30 guns while executing three search warrants:
Law enforcement officials also served search warrants on the suspects’ electronic devices during the investigation. Investigators said they recovered a manifesto, as well as writings outlining religious and racial beliefs “of how the world they envision should look,” according to FBI Special Agent in Charge Mark Remily.
“These subjects did not discriminate in who they hated, and let me be very clear to anyone who thinks they can end the world through violence: They’re sorely mistaken,” Remily said. “The FBI, our law enforcement partners and our community are much stronger than you think.”
Mark Remily of the FBI said during a news conference that authorities have uncovered writings by the suspects. Authorities declined to specify what ideologies or views were expressed by the shooters, only that they met online and shared a “broad hatred” toward different religions and races.
There was no specific threat against the Islamic center, which is the largest mosque in San Diego, but authorities found that the suspects engaged in “generalized hate rhetoric,” [San Diego Police Department Chief Scott] Wahl said.

On May 5 and 6, the Trump Department of Justice (DOJ) filed two related Second Amendment lawsuits in Colorado: one challenging Denver’s ban on so-called “assault weapons,” including AR-15-style semiautomatic rifles, and another challenging Colorado’s statewide ban on magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds. In both cases, DOJ argues that state and local officials are criminalizing arms commonly owned by law-abiding Americans in violation of the Second Amendment and Supreme Court precedent.
Colorado law generally prohibits selling, transferring, or possessing a “large-capacity magazine,” defined as a magazine capable of accepting more than 15 rounds, with an exception for magazines owned before July 1, 2013, and continuously possessed since then. Denver’s ordinance separately bans possession of so-called “assault weapons,” including many AR-15-style semiautomatic rifles.
The DOJ argues that the laws rely on deceptive language and fearmongering to try to justify an end-run around the Constitution. “The Magazine Ban uses politically charged rhetoric to describe the arms it bans,” the complaint states. “The Magazine Ban’s characterization of these magazines as ‘large capacity’ is a misnomer, because magazines capable of holding more than 15 rounds are, in fact, standard capacity magazines for many popular firearms, including the AR-15 rifle, the most popular rifle in America.”

The incendiary and stochastic terrorist rhetoric of ABC and Disney’s The View took on its darkest and most dangerous form yet. During their Behind the Table podcast on Monday, co-host Sunny Hostin called for an open “rebellion” to fight President Trump and Republicans. Her inspiration was Disney’s Andor, a live-action Star Wars show about the early days of the Rebel Alliance and their violent and clandestine efforts to overthrow the Galactic Empire.

Hostin’s open call for a rebellion was the climax of her reaction to recent election related news items. First, she echoed her previous false suggestion that only Republicans were gerrymandering and played dumb about why party gerrymandering was legal while racist gerrymandering wasn’t (party affiliation was not a protected class) (Click “expand”):

A gunman opened fire near the White House on Saturday evening, with US Secret Service agents killing the assailant in a shootout during which a bystander was also struck, authorities said.
US President Donald Trump was in the White House at the time – on a day when he was working to negotiate a deal with Iran – but was not impacted by the incident, Secret Service communications chief Anthony Guglielmi said in a statement.
The confrontation took place just after 18:00 (22:00 GMT) when a man near the White House security perimeter “pulled a weapon from his bag and began firing”.
“Secret Service Police returned fire, striking the suspect, who was transported to an area hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. During the shooting, one bystander was also struck by gunfire,” Guglielmi said, without giving details on the bystander’s condition.

The purge of news releases documenting criminal charges, convictions and sentencings is the latest step by the Trump administration to dramatically rewrite the history of the assault on the Capitol, when hundreds of supporters of Republican President Donald Trump stormed the building in an effort to halt the congressional certification of his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

Senate Republicans blocked two of Trump’s legislative priorities, angered by the push to create a $1.8-billion federal fund to compensate people who claim to have been politically persecuted, including rioters who assaulted the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

US Senate Republicans abandoned plans on Thursday to advance major immigration enforcement legislation after furious internal disagreement over a proposed $1.8 billion compensation fund for US President Donald Trump’s allies who claim they were unfairly targeted by federal agencies.
The collapse was a significant setback for Trump and party leaders, who had hoped to pass roughly $70 billion in funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Border Patrol and other agencies before lawmakers began a week-long recess.
Instead, the debate exposed rare public resistance from Republicans normally inclined to fall in line behind the president, with senators baulking at provisions they feared would be politically toxic in an election year dominated by affordability concerns.
The immediate flashpoint was Trump’s proposed “anti-weaponisation fund”, which critics warned could send taxpayer money to Trump supporters convicted of violence against police officers during the 2021 attack on the US Capitol.
