Democrats chewing nails as Trump targets controversial Senate pick
By Elissa Fitzgerald

A Democrat is accused of being a Republican in disguise; a Republican is accused of being a Democrat plant. It's primaries season in the US, and suspicions of dirty pool are rife.

The curious case of Dan Sullivan vs Dan Sullivan at the US primaries

A Democrat is accused of being a Republican in disguise; a Republican is accused of being a Democrat plant. It's primaries season in the US, and suspicions of dirty pool are rife.

If your favorite political representative has never spoken the word 'fascist' in public:

They are not strong enough to be of any use to you moving forward. They are too worried about their own 'political capital' and their own golden parachutes to put your needs above their own wants.

They will sell you out at the first opportunity if it means they get to stay in their rightful place and continue to make money at your expense.

That is the litmus test these people must pass in order to even be considered of any value to us.

Call a fascist a fascist in public and stand behind it.

Pretty extensive list of the regime's many efforts to attack US voting rights and deny the legitimacy of elections — past, present and future — where they disagree with results. If it sounds alarmist that is because it is — there is no other way to describe widespread efforts at government interference in free and fair elections.

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."

As we come up on this election cycle, let's remember:

Democrats who use #LGBTQ and or #BIPOC rights as a bargaining chip that they can trade away with republicans for a vote on something else are simply too weak to be anything but an obstacle.
