The Democratic Party shift did not happen overnight. The Democratic Party shift was the result of a decades-long ideological capture. In this episode, Professor Nick Giordano breaks down the dramatic transformation of the Democratic Party. From the common-sense Clinton-era positions on border security and national sovereignty to today's Democratic Socialist influence, this episode exposes how the party shifted from mainstream policies to an activist-driven agenda. Heading into the 2026 midterms, this episode analyzes the Three Pillars of the modern Democratic strategy: Anti-Trump mobilization, government expansion, and identity politics. It also examines the Texas Senate primary and the rise of figures like James Talarico to illustrate how far the political goalposts have moved. What You'll Learn: The Clinton vs. Talarico Contrast: Why 90s Democrats sound like conservatives by today's standards. The DSA Takeover: How the Democratic Socialists of America moved from the fringe to the center of Democratic Party power. Biological Reality vs. Rhetoric: How the Texas Senate race reflects the party's continued shift toward radical identity politics. The 2026 Midterm Warning: Why Republican complacency and rising gas prices from the Iran conflict could create a "perfect storm" for the Left. Governing vs. Grievance: Why bigger government became a substitute for solving actual American problems.
Gustavo Gordillo, a key architect of the campaign to elect democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as mayor of New York City, spoke to a conference of CUPE Ontario local union presidents about organizing the successful campaign.

Chuck Warren, co-host of Breaking Battlegrounds, heard every Saturday at 9 AM right here on 960 The Patriot, joins Seth in studio for the full hour to talk about the recent joint American-Israeli strikes on Iran. They discuss the current state of American society, from the lack of celebration over the victory in Iran to the growing distrust of the U.S. government. Chuck shares his thoughts on the Democratic Party's stance on key issues and the influence of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) on the party's apparatus. They also touch on the importance of civic engagement and the need for politicians to connect with people who disagree with them. The conversation covers the intersection of politics, history, and culture, offering a unique perspective on the current state of America.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The FAQ NYC hosts discuss the messaging from Zohran Mamdani about America's new war, the mayor's meeting with the president days earlier and much more. Plus, New York Working Families Party Director Jasmine Gripper joins the pod to talk about its agenda, “how the left ecosystem in New York is evolving in a beautiful way” and the split between the WFP and Mamdani's Democratic Socialists of America in the race to replace Rep. Nydia Velazquez. “He's only been endorsing socialists” in district races, Gripper said..”The WFP sometimes endorses socialists, and sometimes we endorse people who wear a progressive hat, a liberal hat. I think the mayor is promoting one ideology. We're promoting a slightly different one. I don't think this stops us from working together.”

Are Democrats really ready for a comeback—or are we about to revisit the graveyard of their own failed experiments? The so-called “new paradigms” of the Obama-Biden years—open borders, DEI mandates, deficit socialism, disarmament, and radical gender ideology—didn't just falter… they collapsed under their own weight, argues Victor Davis Hanson on today's edition of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words:”
Claire Valdez, a Democratic candidate for Congress in New York's 7th Congressional District (which includes parts of Brooklyn and Queens), joined the show to discuss her campaign to succeed the retiring Rep. Nydia Velázquez in the House of Representatives. Valdez is a state Assembly member from Queens and Democratic Socialist running for Congress with the support of NYC-DSA and Mayor Zohran Mamdani. The primary is in June 2026. (Ep 569)
Ronnie welcomes NY City Council Member Tiffany Cabán, a Democratic Socialist, representing the 22nd District: Astoria, Rikers Island, parts of East Elmhurst, Jackson Heights and Woodside to talk about term limits, Democratic Socialism, voting - and more.
What does leadership look like when your city is under federal occupation? When ICE agents are killing civilians in your streets? When thousands of your neighbors are being hunted, arrested, and deported—and you're the one people are looking to for answers?In this urgent conversation, Dr. David Johns sits down with Minneapolis City Council Member Robin Wonsley, the council's Minority Leader and the first Democratic Socialist to hold leadership on the council. Robin represents Ward 2, home to one of the largest Somali communities in the country, and she's been on the front lines of what's been called the largest immigration enforcement operation in U.S. history: Operation Metro Surge.Robin doesn't just talk about what happened in Minneapolis—she was there. She was at the scene when Renée Good was killed by federal agents. She's been organizing eviction moratoriums, securing rental assistance, calling for ICE to be abolished, and building communities of care in the middle of a crisis designed to break people.Most importantly, Robin teaches us about revolutionary love—how Minneapolis chose to lean into care and compassion instead of bitterness when faced with state-sanctioned terror. She shows us what a politics of care looks like: starting with your neighbors, your workplace, your school, your faith community. Building the networks that sustain us when institutions fail us.Class is in session.

The Republican Party currently controls the White House and both houses of Congress in the United States. But will that change in November? Among Republican voters, US President Donald Trump is still wildly popular, despite criticism over uneven economic conditions and brutal anti-immigration tactics. And within the Democratic Party establishment, there is no sign of a desire to shift towards a more progressive, less centrist platform – even as left-leaning Democratic Socialists make gains. Host Steve Clemons asks Republican strategist John Feehery and Amy Dacey, former chair of the Democratic National Committee, about Trumpism and the election prospects of both parties.

As Minnesota, the only state not to have voted for Ronald Reagan, continues to dominate the headlines, a question arises: Just how radical is the state, and its largest city, Minneapolis, anyway? A recent decision on the organization of the Minneapolis City Council indicates that the city is extremely radical. While one-party city legislatures in places dominated by Democrats are extremely common, how many have Democratic Socialistsas both the “majority” and “minority” leaders of their city councils? Minneapolis does, a fact brought to public attention by today's guest, Luke Rosiak of the Daily Wire.

All socialists are linked to the first communist state, the Soviet Union. Despite its track record of bringing tyranny, misery, and mass death, socialism continues to be embraced by people who fail to grasp its character and history. This episode presents vital details on the true legacy of socialism. The counterproposal portion presents the VOC worldview on history -- not as a history of class struggle, but as a history of the battle between good and evil. The news section reveals new details on the Democratic Socialists of America, the party of New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani, and its new outreach to the Chinese Communist Party. For the interview section, I spoke with Mike Gonzalez about a new Heritage Foundation report on the Cuban communist threat. As in the past, this episode is must listening!
www.commsolutionsmn.com- There is so much going on in the world right now. We're watching a possible regime change happen in Iran, unless the mullahs' massacre of protestors causes them to back down. The United States military waltzed into Venezuela to arrest the drug-running, pretend president, Nicholas Maduro, that lost the election and refused to give up power. President Trump has been making moves to reduce the increasing influence of China in our hemisphere, and seems to be three steps ahead of everyone else as he frees Venezuela to make its own decisions and lines up strategic defense through a deal in Greenland. Might the future of America still be saved? Minneapolis is on fire again. Did we learn our lessons to handle it better this time? Of course not! The left distorts and omits facts to present a one-sided story. The press is painting a story that ICE came out of nowhere to kidnap every migrant they can find, going into businesses, schools, and churches. None of that is true. Because of the billions of dollars of fraud in the Somali daycare center scheme, the federal government increased their numbers to investigate, and the same dregs of the city attacked law enforcement, causing the unfortunate death of Renee Good. This caused Antifa members to crawl out from every dark corner of the nation to whip people into a frenzy, attacking federal police and storming into a church to violate the FACE act. Not surprisingly, the Democratic Socialists, Revolutionary Communists, the unions, and the D(ictator) F(raud) L(awlessness) Party keep pressing forward, even in the face of contradictory evidence. They keep trying to protect the murderers, child rapists, and drug traffickers. Why? We're tired of seeing our state in the news. Can we take MN back and return to normal already?
What is the relationship between Metta (lovingkindness practice) and developing, or rediscovering, a childlike innocence? How can Buddhist meditation help both kids and adults with emotional regulation and resilience? Is there anything about the way kids meet thoughts and emotions that we grown-ups can learn from? And, as Ethan wonders, are all children Democratic Socialists? Ethan welcomes dear mentor and friend Sharon Salzberg—now author of a children's book called Kind Karl (and it's an excellent one)—for a discussion about kindness, mindfulness, and rediscovering our innocence. Sharon Salzberg is one of America's leading spiritual teachers and authors. A practitioner of Buddhist meditation for over fifty years, she is a co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society.

Bill Allison, is a long-time attorney that has worked cooperatively with the Kentucky's American Civil Liberty Union. Bill Allison started his law career with the Southern Conference Educational Fund (SCEF), an organization closely connected with Carl and Anne Braden. SCEF was a Southern civil rights organization, and so from the beginning of his career, Bill Allison was involved in civil rights and civil liberties litigation. Bill Allison and Cate Fosl were the keynote Speakers at the Lyman T. Johnson Dinner sponsored by the Louisville Democratic Socialist of America and held at Louisville's 1st Unitarian Church June 28th, 2025. The Lyman T. Johnson dinner was established for the purpose of honoring Bill Allison and raising funds for constructing a new building for the Democratic Socialist of America, Louisville chapter.
Seattle now boasts the highest minimum wage in America at $21.30 an hour, and as usual, the socialist utopia experiment is backfiring spectacularly. Local restaurants are shuttering left and right—Belgato, Jackson's Catfish Corner, BBOP Waffle Shop, and more—because Democratic Socialist dreamers forgot one tiny detail: businesses need to actually make money to survive.We break down how Seattle's progressive wage mandates are crushing small businesses already struggling post-pandemic, forcing closures, reduced hours, and counter-service models. Meanwhile, activists keep demanding corporations subsidize their failures while those same corporations pack up and leave for business-friendly states. The kicker? When businesses close, that $21.30 minimum wage becomes $0.00. Funny how the math works when ideology meets reality.Think Seattle's 45% above-average cost of living might have something to do with 40 years of Democrat policies? Or should we keep blaming greedy small business owners trying to survive?
//The Wire//2300Z January 22, 2026////ROUTINE////BLUF: ICE OPERATIONS CONTINUE IN MAINE. THREE ARRESTS MADE IN MINNEAPOLIS REGARDING CITIES CHURCH INCIDENT. SEVERE WEATHER SYSTEM EXPECTED TO SWEEP THROUGH AMERICAN SOUTHEAST THIS WEEKEND.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------HomeFront-Maine: DHS surge operations continue, with arrests being noted in Portland and Lewiston. This campaign has been dubbed "Operation Catch-Of-The-Day", and seeks to target known violent criminals throughout the state.Analyst Comment: So far, resistance to ICE is minimal, with most of the efforts to harass ICE not taking form as they have in Minneapolis. None of the madness of Minneapolis has carried over to Maine as of yet, and the arrest of extremely violent criminals is going smoothly so far. However, this should be expected to increase over time as various activist groups transition into the active resistance phases throughout the area.Minneapolis: Overnight, several bomb threats were made at various locations around the city. Locals report that emails alleging the emplacement of pipe bombs were sent to several hotels, as well as the Federal Courthouse downtown. After some time, all threats were confirmed to be unfounded.Following up on the raid at Cities Church which took place four days ago, three arrests have been made in conjunction with the investigation. William Kelly, Nekima Levy Armstrong, and Chauntyll Louisa Allen have been arrested for violations of the FACE Act.Analyst Comment: Considering that these are the first arrests made during this high-profile incident, it's likely that these arrests will be used to fuel more demonstrations. Right now, the other agitators have not been arrested, so the Key Leadership that helped plan the initial raid is still free to plan other raids this Sunday.Southeastern USA: A severe winter weather system is forecasted to arrive this weekend, bringing unseasonably heavy ice and snowfall for much of the American southeast. Upwards of 12 inches of snow and potentially several inches of ice are called for as the weather system descends on the region.Analyst Comment: This much snow and ice in a region that typically doesn't get much at all, has a tendency to break things. If these forecasts are accurate, this will be a once-in-a-lifetime winter weather event that has the potential to severely impact public infrastructure in many areas.-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Over the past few days, a new demographic of agitator has been noted interfering with ICE operations...postal workers. Around the nation, several postal workers have been observed harassing ICE agents while on the job this week, in official USPS vehicles while actively working a shift. In once case, a USPS worker recording ICE agents shouted at them that he had immunity from arrest, because he was a federal employee. This is obviously not true; being a mailman does not grant any sort of immunity from arrest at all, however this is clearly what many mail carriers who deliver our ballots seem to think.In Minneapolis specifically, last month the Democratic Socialists of America (a far-left political militant organization) held self-described Communist Revolutionary protests for federal postal workers, on federal property. Postal workers at the Powderhorn and Lake Street Post Offices were upset that federal agents had used their parking lots to stage for immigration enforcement operations. As a result the DSA helped them to organize protests at their own federal facilities, which are becoming increasingly more active strongholds.Analyst: S2A1Research: https://publish.obsidian.md/s2undergroundDisclaimer: No LLMs were used in the writing of this report.//END REPORT//

Get access to The Backroom (90+ exclusive episodes) on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/OneDimeIn this episode of 1Dime Radio, I sit down with Harper O'Connor, a rising Socialist YouTuber and DSA organizer, to make the socialist case for National Service and how the millitary can be transformed and used to solve climate change. This ain't just a case for millitary conscription or to bring back the millitary draft per se, but rather for a broader, socialist vision of National Service. This includes the idea of a Civilian Climate Corps and broader service programs that could rebuild state capacity, civic trust, shared purpose, and the social fabric that atomized capitalism keeps dissolving. In the Backroom Exclusive podcast on Patreon, Harper and I talk about how the Left lost younger men, why the far right is winning the “spiritual crisis,” and what a left-wing alternative could be, and we talk socialist strategy more broadly.Timestamps:00:00:00 Why the Left Lost Young Men (The Backroom Preview)00:06:03 The Civilian Climate Corps00:11:41 Were not in Kansas anymore: Harper's Political Journey00:16:51 The Citizen Army Idea: A Socialist Republican Idea00:22:03 What if Everyone Joined the Military? 00:27:34 Belonging, Comradery, and Solidarity00:33:17 Build Stuff, Save Lives, Learn Life Skills, Make Friends00:37:06 Conscription Makes it Harder to Go to War00:44:20 “Isn't This Just Legitimizing Empire?”00:49:22 Civic Duty, Coercion, and Collectivism00:57:10 The Masculinity Crisis01:04:44 Socialism or Eco-Fascism01:17:43 Closing + The Backroom TeaserGUEST:Harper O'Connor, Socialist YouTuber and DSA organizer• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCZDSz1E3rJ18vefmK7Hw4YA • “A Guide to Democratic Socialists of America” (video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijlg0phla-sFOLLOW 1Dime:• Substack (Articles and Essays): https://substack.com/@tonyof1dime• X/Twitter: https://x.com/1DimeOfficial• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tonyof1dime/• Check out my main channel videos: https://www.youtube.com/@1DimeeLeave a like, drop a comment, and give the show a 5-star rating on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to this.

That's why several Democrats including Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens were completely derelict in their duty to oppose the Trump Regime's authoritarianism from the start. While progressive Democrats and Democratic Socialists are standing-up for those who don't have power in this scary time in American history, too many corporate Democrats believed capitulating to Authoritarianism was the best play.

In this hard-hitting special series on Joe Oltmann Untamed, host Joe Oltmann teams up with military analyst “B” to rip the veil off the coordinated radical networks infiltrating American cities, politics, and youth culture. It all starts with Zohran Mamdani's rapid rise—far from grassroots politics. A leaked video from one of his aides exposes the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) Steering Committee's calculated playbook, linked to Alicia T. Signham and a sprawling web that includes ANTIFA, the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), the Muslim Democratic Club of New York, and INCA for Social Justice. With “B” mapping out the connections, we trace Linda Sarsour's direct pipeline from the DSA straight to Mamdani, showing how these groups hide behind “social justice” rhetoric to push a subversive, anti-American agenda. The videos and documents don't lie, this is deliberate, organized infiltration.Building on that explosive foundation, the series exposes the hidden threads tying it all together. Linda Sarsour stands out as the central bridge, her deep ties to ANTIFA and radical activism laid bare in a game-changing video played at the perfect moment. The swamp stench is overwhelming: coordinated efforts to inject anti-American ideologies into local politics while mainstream media stays silent or complicit. These aren't lone wolves, they're part of a deliberate network exploiting progressive cover to embed radicalism in our communities. Joe and “B” make it crystal clear: the threat is real, it's accelerating, and it's unfolding right in front of us.In the third episode, we go straight for the jugular. “B,” our military analyst, walks us through the speakers of the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) , the group that poses as a harmless charity but operates as the primary pipeline for dangerous voices inside the United States. Coming on the heels of a massive pro-jihad rally in Pakistan involving Hamas, Jamaat-e-Islami, and Lashkar-e-Taiba (with clear U.S. connections), we spotlight ICNA's own chosen platform guests: convicted Pakistani spy Syed Ghulam Nabi Fai, banned extremist scholar Tariq Ramadan, Jamaat-e-Islami insider Dr. Nakibur Rahman, and Linda Sarsour herself. Every guilty plea, banned-from-America ruling, and damning document flashes on screen. The conclusion is that ICNA isn't a charity, it's the command center for jihadist influence in American communities. The series presses on, and the truth keeps getting louder.Check the Map Out Here: https://graphcommons.com/graphs/c72e75e7-6b90-41bd-b059-cd59f1ea0bac Please check out Joe's Givesendgo at: https://www.givesendgo.com/JoeOltmann https://untamednation.com/ Make sure to check out https://honorboundusa.com for all your Untamed Nation merch needs!Go to honorboundusa.com to get FREE TINA stickers and use Promo Code “FREETINA” for 20% off!Go to https://DCFguns.com and use Promo Code UNTAMEDNATION for 5% OFF Byrna ProductsProtect your family from hackers by going to https://sns.pidoxa.com NOW
[00:30] Communism and Anti-Semitism in New York (52 minutes) New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani took his oath of office yesterday with his hand on the Koran. One of the proud Democratic Socialist's first acts was erasing an executive order recognizing anti-Zionism as anti-Semitism. During a meeting with President Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Trump will be the first non-Israeli to receive the Israel Prize. Despite America's history of supporting Israel, prophecy shows that Israel ultimately will turn to Germany for help. [52:50] WorldWatch (4 minutes)

This slight net reduction in capacity, combined with ongoing supply constraints expected to persist for at least the next two years, is likely to contribute to sustained or increased beef prices for consumers rather than easing them. broader industry consolidation (four companies control 85% of U.S. beef processing) enables packers like Tyson to maintain higher margins and prices through strategic capacity cuts. @AgroVitaDotOrg https://twitter.com/BehizyTweets/status/1992347064672677988?s=20 https://twitter.com/JoeLang51440671/status/1992017361398870208?s=20 Trump administration says is necessary to ensure federal benefits are limited to those eligible under longstanding law.” “Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Thursday that the department will implement new rules defining who may claim income tax credits covered by the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act, or PRWORA. The law restricts access to federal public benefits for individuals who are not U.S. citizens or qualifying residents. “Under President Trump's leadership, we are enforcing the law and preventing illegal aliens from claiming tax benefits intended for American citizens,” Bessent told Breitbart.” “The regulation will specify that the refundable portions of the Earned Income Tax Credit, the Additional Child Tax Credit, the American Opportunity Tax Credit and the Saver's Match Credit constitute federal public benefits. As a result, the Treasury Department said, illegal immigrants and other foreign nationals will not be eligible to receive them. “Treasury's Office of Tax Policy and the Internal Revenue Service have worked tirelessly to advance this initiative and ensure its successful implementation,” Bessent said. “Their diligence and professionalism reflect this administration's determination to uphold the integrity of our tax system. We will continue to ensure that taxpayer resources are directed only to those who are entitled under the law.” https://twitter.com/KobeissiLetter/status/1992308600203542534?s=20 drop in imports in 4 months.

President DJT How Andrew Jackson Freed America From Central Bank Control… And Why It Matters Now It's hard to believe the United States government was ever debt-free. But it happened once—in 1835—thanks to President Andrew Jackson. He was the first and only president When he became president, Jackson was determined to rid the US of its national debt. After all, debt enslaves you to your creditors. Jackson knew that being debt-free was essential to independence. This outlook resonated with many Americans back then. With that in mind, Jackson attacked the institutions and powerful people who promoted and enabled the federal debt. This included the banking elites and the Second Bank of the United States, the country's central bank at the time and precursor to today's insidious Federal Reserve system. Jackson couldn't squeeze the American people with a federal income tax to repay the debt. It didn't exist at the time and would have been unconstitutional. He also couldn't simply print currency to pay off the debt. Perpetuating such an insane fraud—which the Fed does on a massive scale today—likely never entered his mind. Instead, Jackson had to rely on tax revenue from other sources, mainly import tariffs and excise taxes, to pay down the debt. He also drastically cut federal spending and frequently vetoed spending bills. Jackson's determination worked. By January 1835, the US was debt-free for the first time. Unfortunately, it didn't last much more than a year. After that, the US would never again be debt-free—not even close. Revenge of the Central Bankers After Jackson succeeded in ending the Second Bank of the United States, anything associated with a central bank became deeply unpopular with the American public. So, central bank advocates tried a new branding strategy.

It was presented to Ukraine with a Thursday deadline from Trump for acceptance, though he noted it wasn’t a “final offer,” amid ongoing talks in Geneva between Rubio, Witkoff, and Ukrainian officials. Regarding Marco Rubio’s involvement as Secretary of State, initial reports indicated he distanced himself from the plan during a phone call with a bipartisan group of U.S. senators (including Mike Rounds and Angus King), describing it as a “Russian wish list” rather than an official U.S. position, and clarifying it was merely a document passed along from Moscow. However, Rubio and the State Department later publicly reversed this stance, insisting the plan was “authored” by the U.S. with input from both Russian and Ukrainian sides, denying claims of purely Russian origins and calling such assertions “blatantly false.” This flip-flop has fueled criticism of incompetence and internal disarray in the administration, with European allies like Poland questioning the plan’s true authorship, and figures like Boris Johnson labeling it a “betrayal” and “military castration” of Ukraine. Recent updates suggest the draft has been revised to better reflect Ukraine’s priorities, per NSDC Secretary Rustem Umerov, potentially in response to backlash https://twitter.com/marcorubio/status/1992413078160617849?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1992413078160617849%7Ctwgr%5E0f66861c566f50b41a9af07d57fe1e73a72fec8b%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fredstate.com%2Fwardclark%2F2025%2F11%2F23%2Fa-new-wrinkle-secstate-distances-us-from-unacceptable-ukraine-proposal-n2196487 https://twitter.com/WarClandestine/status/1991899588241076591?s=20 https://twitter.com/kadmitriev/status/1991935021259919768?s=20 https://twitter.com/InsiderGeo/status/1991818640467874060?s=20 why also they are pushing maximalist demands.From their perspective, it's simple: if Ukraine accepts, they achieve their goals immediately.

Obama schemes with rising trailblazer in stunning plot to retake the White House Barack Obama has descended into Washington DC for a secret meeting with Democrats to plot his party’s return to power after Donald Trump leaves office.

Sarah McBride, the first openly transgender congressional lawmaker, was seen talking privately with Obama. McBride described the ex-president’s speech as ‘classic Barack Obama — updated for a 2025 political environment.’ McBride told Politico that Obama’s plan to guide Democrats out of their leaderless wilderness is not by relying on a singular political figure.

Impact of Greene’s Resignation Numerical Effect: Starting January 5, 2026, her safe Republican seat in Georgia’s 14th district will become vacant, dropping Republicans to 218 occupied seats against Democrats’ 213 (assuming no other changes, with vacancies rising to 4). This shrinks their effective margin to just 5 votes, leaving almost no room for internal dissent, illnesses, or travel delays—issues that have plagued the GOP in recent years with narrow majorities. Passing legislation could become trickier on contentious bills, as even one or two holdouts might sink votes without Democratic support. Temporary Nature: Georgia law requires a special election for House vacancies, typically scheduled within 2-3 months by the governor. Given the district’s strong Republican lean (she won reelection in 2024 by over 30 points), it’s highly likely to be filled by another Republican, restoring the majority relatively quickly. In summary, while the resignation tightens an already precarious majority and could complicate near-term votes in early 2026, it’s not a game-changer long-term. Republicans have navigated similar slim margins before, often relying on procedural tools or bipartisan deals when needed. https://twitter.com/ElectionWiz/status/1992360234913050627?s=20 https://twitter.com/mtgreenee/status/1992586669204070761?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1992586669204070761%7Ctwgr%5E63a82205206ed50771f6d6684add6a3453443c47%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegatewaypundit.com%2F2025%2F11%2Fmarjorie-taylor-greene-responds-report-that-she-is%2F ending barrage of phone calls, Marjorie went BAD.

President DJT https://twitter.com/amuse/status/1992282772896182623?s=20 Judge Jeb Boasberg quietly brought in retired Florida magistrate David Baker to handle sealed documents in domestic & foreign criminal investigations tied to the sprawling J6 dragnet. The assignment began just one month after Boasberg took control of the DC bench. Records show Baker signed the shocking NDO that labeled Rep Jim Jordan a flight risk. How many other secret orders did Boasberg funnel through his outsourced judge to shield DC courts from scrutiny? https://twitter.com/julie_kelly2/status/1991923034194682090?s=20 chief judge.

They can tell you they STARTED an investigation, but some people seem to think means the public is entitled to some kinda blow-by-blow every other week about where the investigation is, who’s a target, who’s not a target, who’s being indicted, when the indictment will be unsealed, etc. etc. And no, they can’t tell you. Learn how things actually work. https://twitter.com/RealSLokhova/status/1992414649430749443?s=20 Jury is investigating @EagleEdMartin . Ed Martin cannot respond because he cannot comment on an ongoing investigation. Some on the right fell for this MSDNC disinformation and are claiming Todd Blanche is investigating Ed Martin. This is untrue, and the story was fake on its face. Adam Schiff is a criminal who evaded accountability for over a decade, and this DoJ is about to have him indicted. This is the real story. https://twitter.com/EricLDaugh/status/1992036443040965116?s=20 KEEP it that way and overturn California’s!

He believes the military is examining it. And he thinks military courts may already be looking at the Democrats' behaviour. This is unprecedented. Members of Congress and a sitting U.S. Senator publicly told soldiers to disregard the Commander-in-Chief — the kind of act that, as Trump reminded, was historically punishable by death. He clarified he's not threatening them — but he made one thing unmistakably clear: “They're in serious trouble.” Democrats tried to spark insubordination. Trump just signalled the U.S. military justice system might be stepping in.
