Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) loves to play the ultimate &#8220;guardian&#8221; of Israel when the cameras are rolling. But when it comes to party politics, Schumer’s self-proclaimed sacred duty takes a backseat to cold, hard cash.
The Democrats’ primary Senate super PAC, Senate Majority PAC, which works hand-in-glove with Schumer, is <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/09/16/abdul-el-sayed-michigan-senate-democrats-schumer">dropping</a> an eye-watering $10 million into Michigan to boost leftist Israel-hating Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed.
The massive cash infusion comes despite Schumer’s famous March 2024 floor speech, where the top-ranking Jewish official broke out a Hebrew lesson to proclaim himself, because of his last name, a “shomer Yisroel.” Shomer is the Hebrew word for guard.
Guardian of whom?
El-Sayed’s track record has raised severe alarms among pro-Israel advocacy groups and Michigan’s Jewish community.
In an appearance on FOX 2 Detroit, El-Sayed flatly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/abdul-el-sayed-refuses-to-return-campaign-donations-from-terror-linked-groups">refused</a> to consider returning more than $115,000 in campaign donations linked to high-ranking officials from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The radical group was famously named an unindicted co-conspirator in the 2008 Holy Land Foundation trial, the largest terror-financing prosecution in U.S. history. That led the FBI to sever ties with its leadership.
Rather than address CAIR’s historic ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, El-Sayed brushed off questions about the cash, claiming his opponent, Republican nominee Mike Rogers, was simply trying to spark a &#8220;culture war.&#8221;
El-Sayed was recently forced to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/29/us/politics/el-sayed-apology-jewish-democrats.html">issue</a> an apology after attempting to offer &#8220;context&#8221; for a horrifying Hezbollah-inspired attack on Temple Israel in West Bloomfield Township, Michigan, where a driver plowed through the building and struck and injured a security guard.
&#8220;My comments might have been misconstrued to be justifying something I did not intend to justify,&#8221; El-Sayed stammered after facing immense backlash at the Michigan Democratic Party convention. &#8220;I’m really sorry.&#8221;
Rogers shredded the apology as nothing more than a political stunt to stem the bleeding among Jewish Democrats.
&#8220;When someone says you might have been offended by what I said, that’s not an apology,&#8221; Rogers told Fox &amp; Friends. &#8220;He has a long history of antisemitic comments, inflammatory comments. He’s angry. He’s aggressive.&#8221;
El-Sayed’s campaign has also been dogged by his tight bond with radical Twitch streamer Hasan Piker. Piker has previously claimed &#8220;America deserved 9/11&#8221; and has openly praised terrorist groups like Hezbollah. Financial records even show an overlap between El-Sayed’s donors and supporters of pro-Hitler Instagram influencer Dan Bilzerian.
None of this radical baggage seems to bother Schumer.
This isn&#8217;t the first time the senior senator from New York has put party power over principle. Back in 2016, Schumer faced fierce protests outside his office after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/chuck-schumer-betrays-israel-once-again-supports-hank-berrien">backing</a> Keith Ellison for DNC Chairman, despite Ellison’s long record of attacking Israel and defending notorious antisemite Louis Farrakhan. Schumer similarly played politics with the fatal 2015 Iran Nuclear Deal, dragging his feet until the green light was guaranteed before staging a meaningless vote against it.
Schumer’s loyalty to his own people ends right where the campaign spending begins.

Democrats are angry with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) after he privately met with President Donald Trump&#8217;s son-in-law Jared Kushner to discuss potential areas of cooperation.
Former Obama aide Tommy Vietor <a href="https://x.com/TVietor08/status/2091519661011828786?s=20">blasted</a> Jeffries over the meeting, arguing that Kushner should be the target of congressional scrutiny rather than an ally.
“Jared Kushner has no actual government job. He just uses his family connections to get money from Gulf autocrats and fund corrupt deals,&#8221; Vietor said. &#8220;The only way Jeffries should work with him is with demands for documents and subpoenas.” 
Democratic pundit Jennifer Welch was even more direct.
“I don’t want to work with fascists. I don’t want to collaborate with fascists,” she <a href="https://x.com/MarcoFoster_/status/2091915461902401597">said.</a> 
Mehdi Hasan, founder and editor-in-chief of the left-wing news outlet Zeteo, also criticized the meeting.
“This is just pathetic stuff from the House Democratic leader,” he <a href="https://x.com/mehdirhasan/status/2091540763905601642" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said.</a>
The unusual meeting was <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/us/politics/jeffries-kushner-private-meeting.html">held</a> in a private space in New York City, according to The New York Times. Described as a “catch-up,” the conversation reportedly covered housing, immigration, the rising cost of living, and other issues on which the two might agree. They also discussed a potential meeting between Jeffries and White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles.
Kushner and Jeffries have known each other for years and worked together on criminal justice reform during Trump&#8217;s first term. Kushner, who does not hold an official position in the current administration but remains an outside adviser to Trump, has reportedly told other Trump advisers that Jeffries represents the best path toward bipartisan cooperation in Congress, while Wiles is the best person to facilitate those efforts in the West Wing. 
The meeting comes as Jeffries faces pressure from his own party following a string of primary victories by Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates.
The DSA has directly targeted Jeffries and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY).
“Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries have failed to meet the moment and mount a credible defense against Trump,&#8221; the organization <a href="https://www.dsausa.org/statements/to-beat-fascism-we-need-socialism/">states</a> on its website. &#8220;This is no surprise from the party that handed the White House to the Republicans, campaigning on a failed status quo instead of fighting to raise wages and stop price gouging. To beat fascism, we need socialism.” 
The hostility appears to be mutual, with Jeffries <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/politics/socialism-surges-among-democrats-party-leaders-reject-dsa-agenda-pack-fools">stating</a> earlier this month, “I don’t support the DSA agenda, as has been articulated by the DSA itself.” 
Jeffries has rejected calls to abolish ICE, instead advocating aggressive reform. He also opposes defunding the police and Medicare for All, a key leftist policy championed by Michigan Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed, who defeated establishment Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens.
Cygnal pollster Brent Buchanan argues Republicans have a way to blunt that momentum, portraying Jeffries’s meeting with Kushner as proof that Democratic warnings about Trump being an existential threat are overblown. 
“Their House leader spent an afternoon looking for space to deal with the president’s son-in-law. Republicans should make sure every Democratic voter in the country knows that meeting happened,” Buchanan said. “The party’s moderate wing has stopped voting for something and started voting against someone. A leader who sits down to negotiate takes the emergency away, and the emergency is the anger that gets those voters to the polls.”
Democratic socialists have gained ground by defeating establishment Democrats in several recent primaries. Claire Valdez and Darializa Chevalier unseated incumbents in New York City, while Melat Kiros won in Colorado and Angie Nixon prevailed in Florida’s Democratic primary. 
Some Republicans have openly welcomed the DSA’s success, arguing that socialist nominees will be easier to defeat in general elections. One Trump adviser <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/08/19/democrats-florida-senate-angie-nixon-misterms">called</a> Nixon’s victory a win for Republicans.
“We couldn’t have picked a better candidate,” the adviser said. “I wish we could take credit for secretly funding her, but this wasn’t us.” 
President Trump similarly called El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan “great news” for the Republican Party.

Democrats have decided they need to use thirst traps in order to win the midterm elections. Now you may be asking yourself, “What’s a thirst trap?” or “What’s an election?” or “Who is that woman in bed next to me and why is there blood everywhere?” Because that’s the sort of audience I attract. And to be honest, I can only answer some of those questions.
A thirst trap is a social media post with a photo or video designed to catch your attention by showing you something attractive and sexy. And Democrats are looking for sexually attractive candidates to catch your attention and make you think, wow, it’s so hot the way they pretend to be socialists who would only destroy our economy to hide the fact they’re actually Islamists who want to murder us all.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/andrew-klavan-show-ep-1292"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-974735 size-full" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Klavan-watch-now.jpg" alt="" width="1800" height="300" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Klavan-watch-now.jpg 1800w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Klavan-watch-now-300x50.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Klavan-watch-now-1024x171.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Klavan-watch-now-768x128.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/09/Klavan-watch-now-1536x256.jpg 1536w" sizes=" (max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px" /></a>
For instance, Democrats feel if muscular Michigan Senate candidate and terrorist sympathizer Abdul El-Sayed hits the campaign trail wearing tight t-shirts, he might attract the kind of women who would otherwise forget to vote because they’re too busy writing love letters to Luigi Mangione.
Or maybe spindly little Georgia Senate Candidate Jon Ossoff could give speeches in an open-neck shirt to attract large muscular homosexuals who were recently released from prison and are looking for a new b*tch. Or Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez might appear dressed in a bizarrely low-cut nun’s habit entirely made of latex while carrying a whip and a lighted cigarette — or maybe that was just a dream I had. Then I woke up screaming, thinking I’d voted for AOC. Brrrr.
Anyway, in a series of tests funded by the Democratic National Committee, potential female voters were shown a picture of El-Sayed flexing his biceps, followed by a picture of Senator Chuck Schumer trying to stand up straight and pretend he still has a soul. The women were then asked:
<blockquote>Would you be willing to destroy 250 years of American liberty and prosperity for fifteen minutes of having El-Sayed tear off your burka while you scream &#8216;Take me, take me, you steaming hunk of Islamist garbage,&#8217; or would you prefer to just go on and on in your drab day to day life where every evening your daydreams are shattered when Chuck Schumer comes through the door calling out, &#8216;Hi, Honey, I’m home,&#8217; until every dream you ever had of romance and adventure withers and dies?</blockquote>
In 68% of the cases, the female Democrats said they would gladly vote for the handsome El-Sayed as long as he promised to bring back the patriarchy, which actually, now that they think about it, was kind of great.
The Democrats then wanted to test pictures of attractive female candidates on potential male voters. Unfortunately, I’d already made an AOC joke, and every other female Democrat either looks like a used boot or has a mouth on her that makes you want to become a celibate monk in a religious retreat run by a nun wearing the low-cut latex habit she got from the old AOC joke.
Finally, desperate to find a pretty Democrat woman for their study, the DNC showed male voters a photograph of Krystal Ball, the Democrat beauty whose 2010 Virginia congressional campaign ended in scandal when pictures surfaced of her dressed in a sexy Santa outfit while wrapping her lips around a sex toy strapped to the nose of her then-husband. Ninety-five percent of the men said they would gladly vote for the catastrophe of socialism if they could just become a sex toy strapped to the nose of Krystal Ball’s former husband, even if only in their imaginations. In fact, some of the male voters said they might even vote for communism if Chuck Schumer would just stop coming through their wife’s door, calling out, “Hi, Honey, I’m home.”
But the Democrats’ obsession with finding attractive candidates is not just a reflection of their shallow and perverted notion of sexuality with its propensity for meaningless, fetishistic hookups. Democrat leaders feel that if they can enlist candidates with a youthful, vibrant aura, it will return them to their glory days when voters were swept away by the sex appeal of Barack Obama because he destroyed the American health care system with such macho vitality, you could almost believe he was straight.

David Duke, the former leader of the Ku Klux Klan and avowed racist, attempted to conduct a hostile infiltration of the Republican Party in the early 1990s.
Duke won a state legislative seat as a Republican in Louisiana in 1989, and then ran for Senate in 1990 and then governor in 1991. He lost the Senate race amid Republican consternation about what he was doing, but 1991 became the real showdown. When Duke tried to become governor, and advanced to the final runoff for the seat after winning over 30% of the vote in the jungle primary, the GOP kicked into action.
Republicans across the country, and in Louisiana, disavowed Duke and urged their supporters not to vote for him. This went all the way up to President George H.W. Bush, who urged voters to reject him. Louisiana&#8217;s sitting Republican governor, who Duke defeated in the primary, told people to vote against him. Some Republicans even outright endorsed his Democratic opponent, who was renowned for being corrupt.
Duke lost by over 20 points.
You might rightly point out that this was nearly 40 years ago, during a different time in American politics, so let&#8217;s get more current. In 2016, the Republican establishment went to great lengths to stop Donald Trump from becoming their presidential nominee. (I want to be crystal clear here, I am not comparing Donald Trump to David Duke — just the two situations where an insurgent force was resisted by Party leaders.)
Major conservative institutions of the time — from National Review to Club for Growth — actively worked to stop Trump during the primary. Mitt Romney gave a speech during the race denouncing him and urging voters to get behind whoever was most likely to defeat Trump in their state. At the RNC, when Trump was already the nominee, Ted Cruz gave a speech where he went out of his way to tell people to &#8220;vote their conscience.&#8221; When the Access Hollywood tape came out, just weeks before the election, prominent Republicans again denounced their own candidate.
That takes us to today. There&#8217;s been much talk of a &#8220;Democratic Civil War&#8221; going on, but I&#8217;m just not seeing it. The war is over, and much like they often do in the Middle East, the Islamist insurgents have won.
Democrats have had some heated primary fights. Mamdani v. Cuomo, the New York DSA challengers, El-Sayed v. Stevens. But even then, prominent leaders in the party have largely stayed out. To Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer&#8217;s credit, she was really the only heavy hitter to outright endorse Stevens over El-Sayed.
El-Sayed proceeded to win by around 15,000 votes in an election where 1.5 million were cast. Democrats could&#8217;ve easily stopped him if they threw their whole weight behind Stevens, but they didn&#8217;t.
Now, after his victory, every top Democrat is getting in line.
Chuck Schumer, who has the survival instinct of a hen in a foxes&#8217; den, endorsed El-Sayed at the same time El-Sayed said he wanted to see Schumer replaced as Senate minority leader.
The El-Sayed development is particularly shocking because he is not even pretending to play nice. He said he wants to put John Fetterman&#8217;s head on a pike as a warning to other Democrats. He is campaigning to overthrow Democratic leadership, and has already threatened to undermine 2028 Democratic presidential candidates if they don&#8217;t meet his demands.
Even David Duke spent years trying to soften his image before his political runs, maintaining the same racism but in a shift, obfuscating tone to try to appeal to the masses. El-Sayed hasn&#8217;t moderated an inch.
He is taking the party hostage, and rather than resist it, the party is handing him the zip ties and machine gun he&#8217;s going to do it with.
Only a few brave Democrats have spoken out. Rep. Hillary Scholten and Fetterman have said they won&#8217;t support him. But his own primary opponent, Stevens, has gotten on board like a true coward. Schumer is behind him. Kamala Harris is fundraising for him. Michigan&#8217;s other senator, Elissa Slotkin, ostensibly a moderate and definitely a presidential hopeful, is supporting him.
Where is Barack Obama? Hell, where is Joe Biden? Where is Nancy Pelosi? These people could have stopped this force in its tracks if they really tried, and they still could, but they are choosing not to.
These people are signing their own political death warrants, and I truly feel like I&#8217;m experiencing some sort of psychotic episode watching it.
What&#8217;s in this for Chuck Schumer, exactly? The man is 75 years old. He has no future. If he runs for Senate again in 2028, he will likely lose to a left-wing primary challenger, especially if that challenger is AOC. At his age, he might not run again at all.
Schumer often touts being the highest-elected Jew in America. He has been a staunch supporter of Israel his entire career, and has a role as his party&#8217;s senate leader to shepherd it in the most effective way possible, not be an activist.
There&#8217;s basically no downside to him taking his stand here and saying enough is enough, I will not go along with this. Instead he will die leaving a legacy of feckless cowardice in the face of demonic anti-Americanism.
So spare me the talk of a Democratic &#8220;civil war.&#8221; It&#8217;s not a war if one side never fires a shot back.

There Is No Democratic Party Civil War

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) endorsed Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed on Wednesday, despite El-Sayed spending much of his primary campaign arguing Schumer should no longer lead Senate Democrats. 
The endorsement is the latest example of Democratic establishment figures quickly <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/establishment-dems-fall-in-line-behind-el-sayed?author=Drew+Berkemeyer&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Establishment+Dems+Fall+In+Line+Behind+El-Sayed">falling in line</a> behind the socialist-backed nominee after spending months attempting to stop his insurgent campaign.
“Democrats are united by a common purpose: putting a check on Donald Trump by defeating his Republican enablers and taking back the Senate,” Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chair Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) said in a <a href="https://www.dscc.org/article/dscc-statement-on-abdul-el-sayeds-victory-in-michigan-senate-primary/">joint statement</a>. “We look forward to working with Abdul and Democrats across Michigan to win this seat in November.”
The endorsement came one day after El-Sayed narrowly defeated establishment-backed Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI) in Michigan&#8217;s Democratic Senate primary, one of the party&#8217;s most closely watched ideological battles of the 2026 cycle. 
Throughout the campaign, El-Sayed cast himself as a threat to Democratic leadership in Washington. 
“If you&#8217;re Chuck Schumer, I&#8217;m dangerous,” El-Sayed <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DaMhOM0OXte/">said</a> during the primary campaign.
He also <a href="https://www.c-span.org/clip/us-senate/el-sayed-introduces-van-hollen-as-the-next-senate-majority-leader/5203501">publicly backed</a> Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) to replace Schumer as Democratic leader should the party regain control of the Senate. 
“If I have anything to do about it, the next Senate majority leader — Chris Van Hollen,” El-Sayed said while introducing the Maryland senator at a campaign event.
Despite those attacks, Schumer, who endorsed Haley Stevens during the primary, quickly backed El-Sayed after Democratic voters rejected the establishment&#8217;s preferred candidate.
Schumer&#8217;s endorsement follows similar moves from Michigan Democrats who spent months backing Stevens before uniting behind El-Sayed after Tuesday night&#8217;s results. 
Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), retiring Sen. Gary Peters (D-MI), and Stevens herself all pledged to support him in November.
“Together, let&#8217;s stop MAGA Republicans so we can get to work and deliver results for the people of Michigan,” Whitmer said.
Slotkin likewise called for party unity. 
“There is nothing more important than the mission of the next 90 days: uniting, keeping this seat blue, flipping the House and Senate, and providing a real check on President Trump,” she <a href="https://x.com/ElissaSlotkin/status/2085003232149913780">wrote</a> after the race was called.
Stevens, whose candidacy became the vehicle for the Democratic establishment&#8217;s effort to block El-Sayed&#8217;s nomination, also quickly endorsed her former rival. 
“I want to congratulate Abdul El-Sayed on winning the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate,” Stevens said in a <a href="https://haleyformi.com/news/haley-stevens-statement-on-election-results/">statement</a>. “I am proud to offer my support as he takes on Mike Rogers in the general election.”
She added that Republicans wanted Democrats to emerge from the primary “tired and divided,” saying, “I&#8217;m not going to let that happen.”
 The rapid consolidation behind El-Sayed comes despite the Democratic establishment spending months trying to prevent his nomination.
Stevens entered the race with endorsements from Schumer, Whitmer, Peters, former Sen. Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), and other prominent Democrats, while outside groups spent tens of millions of dollars backing her candidacy.
El-Sayed, meanwhile, built his campaign with support from Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), and other leaders of the party&#8217;s Left wing. He campaigned on Medicare for All, abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, ending U.S. military aid to Israel, restructuring the Supreme Court, and raising taxes on billionaires.
His victory continued a broader trend that has unsettled Democratic leaders this cycle, with socialist-backed candidates defeating multiple establishment Democrats in congressional primaries across the country.
El-Sayed now faces Republican Mike Rogers in a race widely viewed as critical to determining control of the Senate. With Michigan representing one of Democrats&#8217; best opportunities to hold a key seat in 2026, party leaders have rapidly coalesced behind a nominee who spent months arguing they should no longer be leading the party.

There&#8217;s an <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TomCottonAR/videos/the-alliance-between-marxists-and-islamists-is-taking-over-the-democrat-party-no/1617106106672082/">emerging alliance</a> in American politics between the far Left and radical Islam. The only tangible thing that Marxists and Islamists have in common is their hatred for Western society. Liberalism, capitalism, and Judeo-Christian values run contrary to both groups. 
Of course, the values of Islamic society are, in practice, more offensive to the Left-wing vision than those of the West. Marxists value socioeconomic equity above all else. There is no metric by which Islam is remotely conducive to this. In traditional Western society, there are different cultural expectations for men and women. In Islamic society women are treated like property. In Western society there is a mobile meritocracy (even Marx did not deny this). In Islamic society there is a rigid aristocracy. Most notably, Western society lends itself to representative government while Islamic society does not.
Yet the Left views Islam as a natural ally in its fight against Western society. The reasons for this are manifold: naivete, delusions of grandeur, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/weekend-plans-with-gad-saad">suicidal empathy</a>. Most likely, it’s as simple as the West being the currently established order, while Islam (for the time being) comes from the fringe. Everything looks harmless on the fringe.
But this delusional self-sabotage is nothing new. We saw this before in pre-revolutionary Iran.
In the late 1970s, Iran’s communist Tudeh Party joined forces with Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in his rebellion against the Shah. Both groups felt that the Shah was oppressive and wanted change. They worked together to overthrow him and install Khomeini in his place. Once Khomeini consolidated power around himself, he outlawed the Tudeh party and executed the Marxists en masse. In 1988, he issued a fatwa executing thousands of Iranian leftists, including those already imprisoned.
A common adage often applied here is, “When people tell you who they are, believe them.” This is good advice for many of the masses of mindless activists on the ground, but in the case of intellectual thought leaders, it is arrogance more than naivete that drives this mistake. 
Tudeh Secretary General Nureddin Kianuri said in a 1979 <a href="https://www.merip.org/1980/03/interview-with-tudehs-kianuri/">interview</a> that socialism in Iran “cannot have a Muslim content but will be achieved through the cooperation of Muslim forces.” By his own admission, he believed that he could use Islamism as a controlled weapon against the West and then simply turn it off when he was done with it. Nureddin Kianuri was arrested by Ayatollah Khomeini in 1983 and never saw freedom again.
Of course, the Marxists of today will never learn from the mistakes of the Marxists of the past. If they were capable of such a thing, they would not be Marxists in the first place.
Still, the lesson is an important one as coalition-building becomes necessary in the United States. You cannot control fundamentalist ideologies. The Marxists believed they could point jihadism at the Shah like a loaded gun. It wasn’t a gun. It was a plague. And once unleashed, it did not discriminate in who it destroyed.
When you are angry with the establishment, it can be tempting to look for support wherever you can find it. This phenomenon is not localized to the Red-Green alliance. It rears its head in every political movement that finds itself compromising with radicalism to achieve political goals.
Another group that can stand to take notes is the Left-wing establishment. The likes of Senator Chuck Schumer seem to believe that kowtowing to the socialists within his party will keep him in power. At its core, socialism is incompatible with the traditional Democratic Party. Democratic elites think they can accommodate it anyway and simply direct its radical destructionism toward their enemies.
There is no appeasing this group. First they came for the Republicans; next they’ll come for you, Chuck. You’ll be lucky if they even wait that long. It’s all the same to them. Of course, the Schumers of the world won&#8217;t wise up to this anytime soon. If they were capable of such a thing, the Democratic Socialists of America never would have made it this far in the party.
The Marxists believe they can use the Islamists just like the Democrats believed they could use the Marxists. They were wrong. The enemy of your enemy is not always your friend. 
In the conservative movement, we face a similar crossroads. The growing influence of radical influencers, especially among young Republicans, shares commonalities with the socialist takeover of the Democratic Party. We mustn’t make Democrats&#8217; mistake.
That is why there is no point in tiptoeing around conflict with the likes of Tucker Carlson. A great many on our side of the aisle have cautioned against direct conflict with them, especially as influencers such as Megyn Kelly and Piers Morgan become louder opponents of the conservative movement. We’re frequently told not to &#8220;alienate&#8221; these people. We should reject these calls.
If they end up voting the way we do, that’s great. But we cannot give an inch to ideologies that are incompatible with our values. Carlson’s anti-capitalist rhetoric, rampant antisemitism, and suggestion of a class revolution demonstrate where his values lie. If we legitimize him, even as a &#8220;calculated move” against our political adversaries, it will inevitably destroy us.
Whether it was arrogance or naivete that drove the Iranian leftists into the arms of the Ayatollah is ultimately irrelevant. We cannot afford either in the conservative movement. We must see our enemies for who they are.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) was met with boos and hecklers on Sunday during the New York City Pride Parade.
<a href="https://x.com/LadybirdMV/status/2071271708367990904?s=20">Video circulating on social media</a> showed America’s highest-ranking Democrat marching through a tough crowd. Waving a rainbow flag, the New York liberal spoke through a bullhorn, trying to appease the restless crowd.

“Hi everybody, so I was the first senator to ever march in this parade, 1999, and I haven&#8217;t missed one yet,” Schumer said. 
“Happy Pride, everybody,” Schumer was met with hissing and jeering from the crowd. “I was the first senator to march in this parade, and I’m not the last.”

The public displays of dissatisfaction with Schumer coincide with an increasingly fractured Democratic establishment as the recently-sworn-in Mayor Zohran Mamdani leads a socialist takeover of the Big Apple. 
New York Attorney General Letitia James, also a Democrat, on Wednesday expressed disappointment with Mamdani — accusing him of blowing up the Democratic party by endorsing democratic socialist candidates against long-time incumbents, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/letitia-james-rips-mamdani-for-blowing-up-dem-establishment?author=Jacob+Wheeler&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=3&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Letitia+James+Rips+Mamdani+For+Blowing+Up+Dem+Establishment">The Daily Wire</a> reported. 
“Some of the candidates that he has supported are individuals who do not understand the politics of New York City, the cultural differences from district to district, who have not been part of the history and the struggle of some of these districts, and are relatively new to the body politic,” James <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/06/24/politics/zohran-mamdani-democrat-anger-primaries">told CNN</a>. 
The Democrat, whose high-profile legal investigations against the Trump family made her a national figure, said some of the Mamdani-backed candidates don’t really understand the Big Apple. 
“All of us are a little frustrated with the Democratic Party. But you don’t blow it up. That’s what MAGA has done,” James added. 
On Tuesday, all three socialist candidates backed by Mamdani won their Democratic primaries for U.S. House in New York, including two far-left candidates who knocked out incumbent Democrats, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mamdanis-socialists-upset-incumbent-dems-in-house-primary-sweep?author=Brecca+Stoll&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=5&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Mamdani%E2%80%99s+Socialists+Upset+Incumbent+Dems+In+House+Primary+Sweep">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported. 
In New York’s 10th congressional district, former New York City comptroller Brad Lander cruised to victory over incumbent Rep. Dan Goldman, who faced intense and increasing scrutiny for his pro-Israel views. Days before the election, a local coffee shop threatened to refuse to serve the Jewish Democrat over his policy positions. 
In New York’s 7th district, New York State Assemblymember Claire Valdez won her race with about <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-primary-elections/new-york-us-house-district-7-results">56%</a> of the vote, and in the 13th district, leftist community organizer Darializa Avila Chevalier <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-primary-elections/new-york-us-house-district-13-results">defeated</a> incumbent  Rep. Adriano Espaillat, chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, by less than four percentage points. 
The results highlight the growing tide against capitalism in New York and progressive precincts nationwide. 
In the Oval Office, President Trump seized the moment, calling Schumer, who is Jewish, “100% Palestinian.” 
“In fact, I’ve asked for a beautiful, silk outfit to be sent in the Palestinian tradition. I’m going to send it to him as a birthday present,” Trump <a href="https://x.com/realBruceSnyder/status/2069895174268821514?s=20">said</a>. “It’s the greatest transformation of a political ideology I’ve ever seen.”

2026 New York City Pride March

WATCH: Chuck Schumer Booed At Pride Parade

The most partisan Democrats celebrated Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) for reaching a major milestone as her likely 2026 Democratic opponent Graham Platner’s campaign faltered from the fallout of a fresh controversy.
On Thursday, the Maine senator cast her 10,000th consecutive vote during a marathon vote-a-rama on President Donald Trump&#8217;s budget reconciliation package, which provides $69.5 billion in funding for ICE through 2029. The measure passed 52-47. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) was the lone Republican who voted against it.
The Senate chamber erupted in applause as Collins hit the milestone, drawing rare bipartisan praise. 
“No matter what has been going on in the world or in her life, Senator Collins has never, never missed a vote in her entire Senate career. This is truly a remarkable milestone,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said. “Many of us try hard to make every vote. Senator Collins has actually done it.”

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) backed up Schumer, calling the accomplishment an “impressive demonstration of endurance and determination.&#8221;
“I salute you for it,” he said. 
Collins, a moderate Republican who represents an increasingly blue state, is the first senator in history to reach the threshold. 
“Mainers are known for their work ethic, and they deserve a senator who works just as hard for them. Growing up in Aroostook County, I learned the value of hard work, perseverance, and honoring your commitments. I am proud to bring those values with me to the Senate every day,” Collins said of her 10,000 votes.  
“Representing the state of Maine is the honor of a lifetime, and I will continue to serve with the diligence and responsibility that Mainers deserve,” she added. 
Maine is considered a must-win state for Democrats seeking to flip the Senate and block President Trump&#8217;s second-term agenda. Collins has consistently defied conventional wisdom and political headwinds, winning four reelection campaigns with cross-over support in an increasingly polarized era.
Schumer’s praise of Collins is especially notable as Democrats bend over backwards to defend Platner as he remains entrenched in controversy. 
The Democratic Senate candidate engaged in a pattern of “intimidating and disturbing” behavior toward multiple women and lied about not knowing the meaning of his Nazi tattoo, according to a new <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/04/us/politics/platner-maine-senate-girlfriends-relationships.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share">report</a> from The New York Times citing former girlfriends.
Three of Platner’s ex-girlfriends described volatile and “toxic” relationships with the Senate hopeful, claiming he demeaned women, became physically threatening, and was repeatedly unfaithful. On one occasion, an ex-girlfriend accused Platner of twisting her arm, shoving her into a bedroom, and holding the door shut until she became “calm.” 
“It didn’t cause an injury, it didn’t break my arm,” she told the Times. 
In damage control, Platner strongly disputed claims of physical intimidation or violence. 
“There are some allegations in this piece that I just want to be kind of unequivocal about, are simply not true,” Platner said on MS NOW. “Anything alleging physicality, anything alleging that I knew what my tattoo was, these are the statements of someone who’s politically motivated.”

Yet even as Democratic leaders coalesce around Platner, fissures within the party continue to surface.
“Graham Platner is a chronic liar who is mentally disturbed, sympathetic to Nazis, and dangerous to women,” Ally Sammarco, a Democratic political consultant, said. “I’m disgusted to see members of my party make excuses for his behavior because it’s politically beneficial. He should be nowhere near our party and the U.S. Senate.

U.S. Senate

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s present role – serving as the Lee to Graham Platner’s Grant at the conclusion of the Democratic Party’s civil war – is a sad, but richly deserved fate.
And make no mistake, by endorsing Platner’s campaign for the Senate, Schumer has indeed surrendered his longtime political vessel to the socialist third-worldists who have spent the last decade staging a slow-rolling, yet largely uncontested takeover of it. Schumer had recruited Janet Mills, the relatively popular governor of Maine, to run against incumbent Republican Susan Collins. “We think that Janet Mills is the best candidate to retire Susan Collins,” declared Schumer at a press conference last fall.
Nobody cared. By February, Platner had left Mills in his polling dust by a nearly 40-point margin. And while Schumer remained insistent that the more moderate Mills would prevail, he proved reluctant to close the financial gap between their campaigns.
Mills suspended her campaign on Thursday. Schumer and Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee chairwoman Kirsten Gillibrand wasted no time in throwing their weight behind Platner, who urged Americans last November to call their senators, “and tell them that Chuck Schumer can no longer be leader.”
“Democrats are dedicated to fighting back against the chaos of the Trump administration by defeating the Republicans who enable his harmful agenda and that includes Susan Collins,” declared the New York lawmakers in a joint statement. “Senator Collins has never been more vulnerable and we will work with the presumptive Democratic nominee Graham Platner to defeat her.”
“Our North Star is winning a Democratic Senate majority,” they explained.
Regardless of who that majority is composed of, evidently.
Until a few months ago, Platner roamed the Pine Tree State with an SS Totenkopf stamped across his chest. In February, he retweeted Holocaust math enthusiast and “Jewish lobby” obsessive Stew Peters. Platner pleaded ignorance in both cases.
That explanation went from implausible to insulting after it was revealed that a month earlier, he had told another antisemitic conspiracy theorist (this one has blamed Israel for the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy and Charlie Kirk) that he was a “longtime fan.” Take it from he without “any patriotism” in his heart for the United States, 9/11 cheerleader Hasan Piker: “He [Platner] was pro-Hamas, okay? He was giving Hamas credit in 2014. Okay, what more do you f*cking want?”
Democratic primary voters no longer make any bones about what it is they want: revanchist, pugilistic anti-Westernism in its angriest, most resentful form – the kind that blinds its adherents so completely as to delude them into identifying America and its greatest ally as the loci of evil in the world.
And they’re willing to make any and every unsavory compromise necessary to get it. It’s public knowledge that when Platner isn’t nodding along to lunatic grifters’ latest thoughts about the Jews, he’s taking to Reddit to advise women worried about sexual assault to “take some responsibility for themselves and not get so f*cked up they wind up having sex with someone they don’t mean to?”
The former is just more than enough to make up for the latter.
Schumer himself stands to be a victim of his party’s leftward drift, then backward. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who opposes any military aid – including for defensive systems like Iron Dome – to Israel, would be an overwhelming favorite against Schumer in the Empire State should she choose to challenge him rather than mount a presidential campaign in 2028. One survey from last spring suggested that the far-Left congresswoman would begin a primary battle between them with a 21-point lead.
Schumer had better hope she has her heart set on the White House, because liberal New Yorkers have their hearts set on the woman who has accused her own country of enabling genocide for standing by the Israelis after the events of October 7, 2023.
It would be quite the way to go out for a self-styled shomer or “guardian” of the Jewish people.
Of course, Schumer himself bears plenty of blame for his plight. For years he watched as his peers radicalized. And instead of yelling, “Stop!”, he moved with them. Of course immigration enforcement is unjust; of course a border wall is racist; of course Maduro and Khamenei are Donald Trump’s victims; of course the Supreme Court is corrupt if it rules against Democrats’ interests – and what is a woman, anyway? The leftist appetite is such that there is no final destination, no righteous endpoint or irrefutable truths to be preserved. There is only capital-P Progress, an ever-shifting goalpost propelled by ego and self-righteousness, not principle or actual righteousness.
Schumer not only allowed such lies to take root, but he also parrotted them out of self-interest and ostracized those with the courage to be voices of reason. Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, a liberal who has been villainized by the far-Left over his support for Israel and 2000s-Democrat era views on border security, burst out laughing on Wednesday after being asked about his relationship with other members of his caucus.
“I’m not necessarily the popular guy,” he conceded.
All this time, it never occurred to Schumer that he was feeding a monster sure to swallow him eventually. Perhaps his humiliation in Maine has, at long last, clued him in.
Now, he has no choice but to wave the white flag and profess to welcome his new, bat-guano crazy overlords.
It’s Graham Platner’s party; and despite his efforts at appeasement, Chuck Schumer isn’t even on the guest list.

Maine Democrat Graham Platner Is Winning Voters All ‘Pissed At The Same Thing’

Bye-Bye Chuck; The Democrats Are Graham Platner’s Radical Party Now

DW Opinion

Leftists

After Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer disparaged ICE and Border Patrol, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin didn’t just push back; he lit a match and scorched Schumer’s credibility on national television.
“It makes my ears red,” a visibly incensed Mullin fired back following Schumer’s claim that Border Patrol and ICE are agencies &#8220;nobody respects.&#8221; Mullin continued his blistering counter-attack: “It takes a lot to get me upset. But Chuck Schumer, no one respects you. The definition of a lying scumbag politician, that is you; you would be the definition if you Googled you right now.”
Mullin’s righteous indignation comes after Schumer has <a href="https://www.democrats.senate.gov/news/press-releases/leader-schumer-floor-remarks-ahead-of-voting-against-the-dhs-funding-bill-instead-urging-republicans-to-work-with-democrats-to-rein-in-ice">suggested</a> ICE could become a “rogue&#8221; force. The DHS Secretary was quick to point out the staggering hypocrisy of a man whom he said enjoys 24/7 taxpayer-funded security while simultaneously working to defund the men and women protecting the rest of the country. “How about he walks around these city streets without a detail? I wonder how safe he would feel,” Mullin challenged.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The verbal fireworks exploded just as the Senate GOP moved to bypass Democratic obstruction through budget reconciliation. Early Thursday, in a 50-48 vote, Republicans advanced a plan to dedicate roughly $70 billion to ICE and Border Patrol — a move necessitated by Schumer’s refusal to fund the agencies through traditional means. When California Democrat Senator Adam Schiff <a href="https://www.schiff.senate.gov/news/press-releases/news-in-new-report-sen-schiff-exposes-over-140-million-dedicated-to-ice-and-cbps-deadly-arsenal-of-weapons-and-munitions-since/">attacked</a> “multi-million-dollar surge in spending and contracts to amass deadly weapons and ammunition since the start of the second Trump administration,” in February, the DHS press office <a href="https://thelalocal.org/immigration/ice-and-border-patrol-weapons-spending-exploded-in-2025-says-new-report/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CA%20law%20enforcement%20agency%20purchasing,in%20an%20email%20to%20LAist.">responded</a>, “A law enforcement agency purchasing law enforcement officers guns and non-lethal resources — really riveting reporting.”
For Mullin, the issue isn&#8217;t just about the budget resolution — it’s about the safety of American streets. He noted that Schumer had years during the Biden administration to address the border, but instead chose to let &#8220;criminals run amok.&#8221; Now, as the Trump administration moves to arm 12,000 new agents to restore order, the Democrats are resorting to name-calling and fear-mongering.
As the budget battle moves to the House, the lines are drawn. On one side stands Schumer, decrying &#8220;lawlessness&#8221; while opposing the very funding needed to end it; on the other stands Mullin and a GOP majority finally willing to give federal agents the tools they need to do their jobs. As Mullin made clear, if Schumer wants to find the source of the &#8220;chaos&#8221; he claims to despise, he doesn&#8217;t need an oversight report — he just needs a mirror.

‘Lying Scumbag’: Mullin Eviscerates Schumer After He Says ‘Nobody Respects’ ICE, Border Patrol

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

markwayne mullin

The Department of Justice has released a <a href="https://www.justice.gov/opa/media/1436006/dl">report</a> documenting how the Biden administration weaponized the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act against pro-life Americans. More than 95% of its 882 pages are actual documentary evidence: emails and texts, memos, you name it. But even that does not tell the whole sordid story.
President Bill Clinton signed the FACE Act into law in May 1994. Attorney General Janet Reno told a Senate committee that it was needed to combat a nationwide campaign by pro-life activists to shut down abortion clinics through “blockades, sabotage … stalking … arson, bombings, and finally …murder.” One senator at that hearing accused pro-lifers of “terrorism.”xxxxx
Rahm Emanuel, Clinton’s political director in 1993, would later famously counsel not to let a crisis go to waste. The abortion zealots used the controversy over some activities to create a weapon they would aggressively use to target and suppress the entire pro-life movement. <a href="https://www.heritage.org/sites/default/files/2025-03/LM373_0.pdf">Here’s how they did it</a>.
The first version of the FACE Act, introduced by then-Rep. Charles Schumer (D-NY) in February 1993, focused specifically on what the bill’s title said, protecting access to abortion clinics. It prohibited physical obstruction of facilities with the intent of preventing individuals from obtaining “reproductive health services.” It allowed civil suits only by private plaintiffs who had been concretely affected by such obstruction and did not permit punitive damages.
The House Judiciary Committee, without holding any hearing, began the process of radicalizing the Schumer bill. Physically obstructing a building became intimidating or interfering with any person or class of persons who were obtaining or providing reproductive health services. The bill neither defined intimidation nor interference nor limited where, how, or when it may have occurred. It allowed civil suits not only by anyone “aggrieved” by this undefined activity, but by any attorney general (federal or state) who believed that a “group of persons” had been so aggrieved. Oh, and the House Judiciary Committee added punitive damages to the plaintiffs’ arsenal.
Senator Edward Kennedy (D-MA) introduced the FACE Act in the Senate in March 1993, merging into this radicalizing traffic. His version even had language that would specifically exclude pro-life pregnancy centers from the act’s coverage. As if allowing both private and public plaintiffs to sue over being “aggrieved” was not vague enough, the Kennedy bill would allow suits whenever the attorney general believed that a person or group “is being, has been, or may be” aggrieved by pro-life activities. Before you ask, no, the bill put no time limit on a past grievance nor did it provide any way of determining whether or how a group “may be” aggrieved.
The FACE Act that Clinton signed into law bore no resemblance to the bill Schumer had first introduced, but, then, that was the plan all along. Put something – anything – in the legislative hopper that could be morphed and twisted into a weapon that is so vague, and carries such draconian potential penalties, that it can be used to target and suppress ordinary pro-life expression and activities.
The new DOJ report documents that abortion radicals got exactly what they wanted, detailing several ways in which the Biden administration weaponized the FACE Act. These include biased enforcement, collaboration with pro-abortion groups to track and monitor pro-life activity, blatant anti-religious bias by prosecutors, treating peaceful pro-life activists much more harshly than violent pro-abortion activists, and even helping funnel money to pro-abortion groups.
Weaponizing the FACE Act happened by design, not by chance. And to top it all off, Congress did not have authority to enact it in 1993 and certainly lacks any authority to maintain it now. Reno testified back then that the FACE Act was “crucial to ensuring that women have an unobstructed opportunity to choose whether or not to have an abortion.” The so-called “right to abortion,” in fact, is by far the most frequently cited basis for Congress’s authority to enact the FACE Act. 
In 2022, however, the Supreme Court told us what we really knew all along, that the Constitution does not, and never did, confer any right to abortion. Congress has no authority to enforce a right that does not exist or to fashion weapons to suppress rights that do.
The FACE Act was an abuse of power when it was enacted, and the Justice Department has now documented the fruit of that poisonous tree. Congress should repeal this unconstitutional fraud.

Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner is increasingly confident that he will defeat Gov. Janet Mills in the June primary.
Platner has a 22% average lead in primary surveys, according to <a href="https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/senate/democratic-primary/2026/maine---3-electoral" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RealClearPolling,</a> despite the early days of his campaign being marred by scandal over a now-covered Nazi symbol tattoo and several resurfaced Reddit posts from the early 2010s in which he made demeaning comments about women and proclaimed that he “became a communist.”
Platner’s campaign manager Ben Chin told <a href="https://www.axios.com/2026/04/06/maine-senate-primary-democrats-mills-platner" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Axios</a> that the campaign is “shifting gears and going full steam ahead into the general,” but noted they “aren’t taking our foot [off] the gas in the primary.”
Mills is backed by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, who sees her as a critical piece to winning back control of the chamber, whereas Platner has garnered the endorsements of Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).
&#8220;We&#8217;re feeling emboldened,” Chin told the outlet.
Mills has gone on the attack against Platner in recent commercials, highlighting his scandals and running with the tagline, “Graham Platner: The closer you look, the worse it gets.”
One advertisement in particular features older, white women reacting to the populist Democrat’s comments on Reddit with disgust, but Platner’s campaign appears to have bounced back following his apology over the posts in the fall.
“These comments are shameful,” <a href="https://x.com/JanetMillsforME/status/2036401559936852198?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mills</a> continued to hammer the point home via X on March 24. “While my opponent was saying this not long ago, I was fighting as Attorney General and Governor to deliver progress for Maine people.”
A Republican strategist familiar with the race told The Daily Wire that the race remains a “target-rich environment” that could ultimately benefit Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), who will face off against whoever wins the primary.
“It’s not really breaking through for her,” the strategist said regarding the Mills attack ads, adding that it’s “definitely not looking good&#8221; for the governor&#8217;s campaign.
In terms of the overall Republican approach, given Platner’s staying power, the strategist noted that it’s “equal opportunity until the day she drops out” and the Republicans will continue to “keep hammering on both.”
Collins defeated Democrat Sara Gideon in 2020 with just under 51% compared with Gideon’s roughly 42%. The <a href="https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/senate-race-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cook Political Report</a> rates the general election race as a “toss-up,” along with the contests in North Carolina, Georgia, and Michigan.
Republicans hold a narrow 53-47 majority in the chamber, and a flip could result in radically different policies headed to President Donald Trump&#8217;s desk in the second half of his term.
The Daily Wire reached out to the Mills, Platner, and Collins campaigns for comment.
