This will the formal process of selec…

Why are they called leaders, when they won't do anything to lead on crucial issues, but instead continue to double down on policies that are now inappropriate, while the non-leaders drive for necessary changes? Managers? Maybe. Bosses? Maybe. Leaders? Nah
House Democrats are finally shifting on Israel. Party leaders must listen

Democrats may cast last-minute ballots for California governor.
“There’s a little bit of, whoever’s in the lead some Democrats are choosing to vote for … but people don’t know who that person is,” Grose said,
noting that “some of that [could start] to go away” as the race tightens.
An indication that Democrats are starting to consolidate around Xavier Becerra, the former U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, came Tuesday in a new survey released by the California Demo…

As calls mount for accountability over the ICE killing of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston,
we speak with Democratic Congressmember Al Green,
who represents Texas’s 9th Congressional District.
He demands an independent investigation into the shooting to stop
“an attempt to cover up” the killing by the Trump administration.

A year ago this week,
Zohran Mamdani’s surprise victory in the Democratic primary for mayor upended New York politics.
Now, in the closing days of another primary season,
he has thrown himself back onto the campaign trail,
this time risking his political capital in a high-stakes bid to catapult fellow leftists to primary victories against the old Democratic guard.
Mr. Mamdani and allies are attempting to unseat two Democratic incumbents,
Representatives Da…

The people have moved on.
Americans are not just fed up with pandering to Israel by politicians beholden to funding from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.
The people have moved on from this notion that things need to move slowly or worse yet, nothing can be done at all.
