California Gov. Gavin Newsom seemed almost glib as he carved a deep chasm in his own political party Thursday over the issue of biological male trans athletes competing in girls’ and women’s sports. But Newsom’s seemingly off-the-cuff remarks deeming the issue one of “fairness” during his debut podcast episode is not just dividing the Democratic Party. It may have left his own personal house divided as well.
Newsom, a longtime, committed champion of LGBT rights who was one of the first prominent politicians to defy state law and issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, is now siding with conservatives with his stated opposition to biological men participating in women’s sports.

Perhaps nothing signifies the transformation of the Republican Party into the party of the working American more than an estimated 45 percent of union households that voted for Trump in 2024. If public sector union members were excluded from the exit polling, that estimate would likely rise to a majority.
This reality puts America’s union membership at odds with union leadership, which generally remains loyal to the Democratic Party. The choice this presents union leadership in America is not subtle. They can continue to align themselves with a corporate uniparty establishment that is increasingly indifferent to the challenges facing American citizens, or they can honestly confront the consequences of establishment policies over the past 20-30 years. The implications are profound.

The Democratic Party is polling about 31 percent approval, a near-historic low.
Despite enjoying a huge lead in fundraising, legacy media favoritism, and incumbency, in the 2024 election, Democrats lost the White House to Donald Trump. Ever since, they have offered nothing new, no novel agenda, no innovative policies—nothing other than screaming that they are loudly against everything and anything that the president is for.

One pivotal byproduct of President Donald Trump’s second term is that it continues to expose the mainstream media’s brazen allegiance to propping up what remains of the Democratic Party at the expense of the American people.
President Trump’s mere existence as the head of state is once again incensing the mainstream media and exposing their overly cozy relationship with the Democratic Party.

Barack Obama had long been rumored as the catalyst for the 2020 Biden nomination — and thereafter played the whispering puppeteer behind the subsequent lost Biden administration years.

While the Democratic Party has often controlled the narrative on the issue of climate change, the Republicans have been promoting alternative options that they argue are more cost-effective and could improve the environment while at the same time strengthening America’s energy independence.
Democratic elected officials have put up some solutions to climate change such as the “Green New Deal” and staying in the Paris Climate Accord, the international treaty that has a goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

A Democratic-aligned dark money group that receives significant backing from a foreign billionaire is dumping tens of millions of dollars into influencing ballot initiatives ahead of November’s election, according to a new report.
The Sixteen Thirty Fund received $143 million in backing from the Berger Action Fund, a nonprofit bankrolled by Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss, between 2019 and 2022. This election cycle, the Sixteen Thirty Fund has spent nearly $23 million on ballot initiatives in a number of swing states on issues like abortion, minimum wage policy and election reform, according to a report from watchdog group Americans for Public Trust (APT).

The common refrain among supporters of the Democratic Party’s open borders policy is that immigration helps the economy. A very recent example of this was published in MSNBC Daily last month, where the author, David Bier of the Cato Institute, claims that “The Congressional Budget Office finds that the surge will boost the economy by $7 trillion and reduce the federal debt by nearly $1 trillion by 2034.” That’s actually an unimpressive statistic since the cumulative GDP of the United States over the next decade will easily exceed $300 trillion, but Bier is probably not wrong in his assertion that immigration increases GDP.
