USPol / US politics Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
So six Democratic congresscritters crossed the aisle to pass the latest defence spending bill - not that unusual, given their swing districts and being up for election - but they did so with the "SAVE" act attached to it. Apparently, they have all the self-preservation instinct of the mythical #lemmings from Mutual of Omaha's Wild Fabrication. Because the entire point of the #SAVE act is to disenfranchise as many Democratic-leaning voters as possible. This isn't speculation; it's easy to read in the measures that it calls for, but more than that, #Trump has explicitly described it that way over the last few months. The #Democrats frequently do not need the #GOP to ratf*ck them [1]; as here, they're quite capable of doing it to themselves. Everyone who cares about preserving #US democracy, such as it is, needs to yell at their #senators to ensure this monstrosity doesn't pass in the Senate. There's been lots of talk of it not having the votes there, but that was said about other things that (eventually) got passed as well. [1] Don't blame me for the language. A US president brought the term into wide use. #USPol #USCongress #DemocraticParty #SAVE #USSenate #ElectionStealing #elections #disenfranchise #voters #MutualOfOmaha #MutualOfOmahasWildKingdom #fabrication #SAVEAct

The New Republic | The Important Missing Word That Discredits the Centrists’ New Letter by Michael Tomasky AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. In his piece, Michael Tomasky criticizes a recent letter from moderate Democrat Tom Suozzi and fourteen colleagues that lauds capitalism while conspicuously omitting the single word that undercuts their rhetoric—“monopoly.” He argues that monopoly, not democratic socialists or the government, is the chief threat to genuine competition and that centrist Democrats must confront it if they hope to unite with the increasingly left‑leaning base of the party. Citing rising economic inequality (the U.S. Gini now at 42), the surge of self‑identified democratic socialists, and poll data showing progressives now outnumber moderates, Tomasky urges the party to adopt clear policy commitments—higher taxes on the rich, a solvable Social Security, an $18‑minimum‑wage indexed to inflation, a permanent child‑tax credit, and robust antitrust action—so that Democrats can fight the billionaire “Epstein” class, restore competition, and avoid electoral defeat in 2028.

La prise de conscience est lente mais sûre. Les électeurs démocrates sont en train de lâcher Israhell aux US. Restent les élus et dirigeants du parti, qui soutiennent toujours majoritairement. Hélas. Une des pires étant Clinton, cette hystérique pro Israhell

❗️Growing divide as 30 percent of US Jews label Israeli war on Gaza genocide

A newly released survey by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research reveals a seismic shift in US public opinion regarding the war in Gaza. Nearly one-third of all US adults, including an unprecedented 30 percent of US Jews and roughly half of all Democrats, now state that Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians. This collapsing narrative marks a critical fracture in the decades-long consensus that has historically shielded Israel from domestic political backlash.

The data exposes an accelerating rift within the Democratic Party, where the disconnect between the Washington establishment and its voting base has reached a breaking point. According to the AP-NORC findings, 58 percent of Democrats now believe the US is too supportive of Israel, a sentiment shared by a 51 percent majority of Jewish Democrats. Concurrently, 62 percent of party voters insist that Washington is failing to provide adequate support to the Palestinian population.

This ideological realignment is particularly striking among older demographics who were once considered the bedrock of pro-Israel sentiment. The poll notes that 57 percent of Democrats over the age of 45 now demand that the US government do more to support Palestinians, a massive spike from just 39 percent recorded two years earlier. As grassroots alienation deepens, the unconditional backing provided by the White House faces a looming legitimacy crisis at home. #democraticparty #USdemocrats #stopIsrahell #USstopSupportingIsrahell @palestine@lemmy.ml @palestine@tagpush.app

🔥🔥🔥 ❝ Whoever wins the House and Senate will decide on the chamber’s leadership. If the Democrats win them both in November, there needs to be a fight over who leads us. If new progressives from around the country are elected they’ve gotta demand leadership that can meet the moment. This is a transformational moment.

RE: https://climatejustice.social/@PeterRu/116822476038269087 ❝ CORPORATE DEMOCRATS ❞ = CORPORATISTS we know #corporatism is #fascism. ∴ corporate democrats are NOT centrists. they are the fascists of the #DemocraticParty if your opponent is a fascist, you cannot be “a little bit fascist“ and call that #centrism. a true Democratic party would defend #democracy and oppose fascism. a true Democratic party would be an #antifascism party and make that the anchor of their political platform. you are for fascism or against it. it’s as simple as that.

Corporate Democrats Mobilize to Counter Rise of Democratic Socialists Within the Party | Common Dreams, Jun 26, 2026 “The progressive movement is winning across the country, from the heart of New York to Michigan to Maine,” said US Rep.

qwant news | Good Riddance to Jared Polis, America’s Worst Elected Democrat AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The article is a vehement opinion piece denouncing Colorado Governor Jared Polis as “America’s worst elected Democrat.” The author argues that Polis betrayed democratic principles by granting clemency to election‑official Tina Peters, timing the decision to avoid legislative backlash, and repeatedly vetoing bipartisan bills that would have protected consumers, workers, and transparency. Citing personal grievance, the writer claims Polis is a pawn of Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, accusing him of using his wealth to buy political power, favoring corporate interests (including Uber, Lyft, and rent‑price algorithms), and abandoning Colorado’s voters in favor of Trump‑aligned agendas. The piece portrays Polis’s actions as evidence of a right‑ward shift that serves oligarchic donors rather than the public, forecasting that any future presidential bid would be a disastrous extension of this behavior.

qwant news | Tom Steyer gives middle finger to Mark Zuckerberg over contribution in CA gov. race AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Billionaire California gubernatorial candidate Tom Steyer slammed Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg after a filing showed the company’s $950,000 donation to a working‑families super‑PAC that backs Xavier Becerra’s 2026 governor bid, warning that the same day Meta announced layoffs affecting more than 10% of its workforce (about 8,000 employees, including 500 in the Bay Area). Steyer posted on X: “5 p.m. today: Meta gives $950K for @XavierBecerra. 4 a.m. tomorrow: Meta lays off 10% of workforce… Mark Zuckerberg wants a friend in Sacramento. I won’t be.” The contribution was made to the Independent Expenditure‑Only Political Committee “Working Families for Healthy Communities Supporting Becerra for Governor 2026,” which can spend unlimited money but cannot give directly to candidates. A recent state Democratic Party poll showed Becerra at 21% support versus Steyer’s 15%, and the California Post has sought comment from the Becerra campaign.

World & Nation | Coded messages, 'red boxing' and other allegations in California's testy race for governor by Seema Mehta AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Xavier Becerra’s 2026 California gubernatorial campaign has drawn attention for posting a “red‑boxed” webpage that outlines attack points against billionaire rival Tom Steyer and suggests messaging for independent‑expenditure committees, a tactic known as “red‑boxing” that lets campaigns signal preferred ads without directly coordinating with Super PACs. Legal experts say the practice skirts campaign‑finance rules that prohibit direct contact with outside spenders, noting that while it can invite fines, candidates often accept the risk in exchange for strategic gains. The move comes as Becerra, the former U.S. Health and Human Services secretary, has surged in the polls—tying Steyer at 13%—and is now a leading contender to replace term‑limited Gov. Gavin Newsom, prompting scrutiny of both the legality and morality of this increasingly common strategy in high‑stakes elections.

The Guardian | Working Americans are taking the streets for May Day. Will Democrats pay attention? | Claire Valdez by Claire Valdez AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. May Day on May 1, 2026 saw more than 3,000 protests across the United States as workers, students and families demanded a strike that halts school, work and shopping while ending billionaire rule. Claire Valdez, a New York assemblymember, union organizer and Democratic socialist running for Congress, argues that both the Republican and Democratic establishments have abandoned the working class—exemplified by policies that ignore the cost‑of‑living crisis, fund overseas conflicts, and deregulate labor protections. She links today’s struggle to the historic fight for the eight‑hour day, noting that modern oligarchs such as Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos are undermining workers’ rights while private‑equity gutts hospitals and pensions. Valdez calls for organized action, quoting UAW president Shawn Fain that it is time to decide the world we want and what we are willing to do, and urges unions to set contracts to expire on May 1 2028 and prepare for a general strike and a progressive electoral surge. The piece frames May Day as both beautiful and devastating—a reminder of the high stakes and the power of collective action to secure dignified wages, benefits, housing, healthcare and a good life for ordinary Americans.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Qasim is right about the #DemocraticParty establishment But I want to underline an important point: "I won't #vote until centrist #Democrats magically turn left" is not a coherent position What you do is you vote, in the #primaries, and replace them They won't change. *You* have to vote Not voting merely means they get worse, and #MAGA wins Low voter turnout from the left helped them become as they are today You have to vote IN THE PRIMARIES What did #Mamdani teach us?
