Tucker Carlson Seizes on Anti-Trump Class Anger

Thus far, there have been 5.3 million votes for Democratic candidates for CA governor (24(!!!) listed on the ballot) and 3.1 million votes for Republican candidates for CA governor (12 listed on the ballot). ~2.2 million more Dem than Rep primary voters! I really like Becerra's chances for November.
#DemocraticSocialist Overcomes #GOP-Funded Opponent to Advance in #LosAngeles Mayor Race
City Councilmember #NithyaRaman will face off against incumbent Mayor #KarenBass in the November general election.
By Jessica Washington, June 8, 2026
"The surprising and divisive mayoral campaign of right-wing reality TV star #SpencerPratt came to an end on Monday, when Los Angeles City Councilmember Nithya Raman, a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, claimed her spot on the general election ballot against incumbent Mayor Karen Bass.
"The second-place finish for Raman means that in the coming months, Bass will have to grapple with a challenger from her left. The incumbent mayor’s establishment bonafides at once lend her a strong political apparatus and make her the object of voter frustration. Raman, meanwhile, will face an uphill battle against the entrenched Democratic machine, which helped Bass easily secure a first-place finish. The embrace of mail-in voting by Angelenos slowly turned the tide for Raman, who initially trailed Pratt when polls closed last Tuesday."

From investigative journalist @GregPalast :
"Texas Attorney General, and general scoundrel, Ken Paxton just won the Republican primary for Senate in Texas. As seen in our film 'Vigilantes Inc.', Paxton proudly claims that Trump would've lost Texas if he hadn't blocked 2.5 million mail in ballots in Harris County — which has the second largest Black and Hispanic populations in America. In other words, Paxton proudly proclaimed that he stole Texas and therefore the presidency for Trump in 2016."

Opinion piece argues that U.S. democracy is heavily influenced by money and lobbying power
📰 Original title: American Democracy Does Not Exist
🤖 IA: It's clickbait ⚠️
👥 Users: It's clickbait ⚠️

The article is an opinion commentary that questions the integrity of democratic processes in the United States, arguing that political outcomes are heavily shaped by wealthy donors, lobbying groups, and corporate influence rather than the will of ordinary voters. It highlights recent U.S. congressional primary elections in which large sums of money were reportedly spent by political action committees and interest groups to support or oppose specific candidates. According to the piece, these financial interventions are presented as evidence that elections can be significantly swayed by concentrated wealth, particularly through organizations associated with foreign policy interests. The author uses examples of high-cost primary races to argue that candidates who challenge dominant policy positions or powerful interest groups are often outspent and defeated. The article extends this argument to broader criticisms of U.S. foreign policy, suggesting a disconnect between democratic rhetoric and real-world actions. It claims that the United States promotes democracy abroad while its own system is shaped by elites who can fund campaigns, influence media narratives, and support think tanks and advocacy groups aligned with their interests. The commentary further asserts that such influence contributes to policies affecting wages, healthcare, regulation, environmental protection, and military interventions. It frames this as a systemic issue in which economic power translates into political power, reducing the effectiveness of equal voter participation. The article concludes with a call for greater resistance to concentrated wealth and influence, suggesting that meaningful democratic reform would require reducing the impact of money in politics. Overall, it presents a critical and contested perspective on the functioning of American democracy, emphasizing inequality in political influence as its central theme.
