 Federalist Wire: ... Recent polling from The Wall Street Journal, CNN, and Gallup conducted in July revealed historically low favorability ratings for the Democratic Party. Turrentine, speaking on “Hannity,” pointed out that party leaders are hesitant to take bold positions for fear of alienating their progressive base. “[U]nfortunately for people like myself and folks that are focused on trying to win races and rebuild our majority, it’s horrifying that the party just will not come to grips with the depth of its problems and do the things to get out of it,” Turrentine told Hannity. “And you said it earlier. There’s two big problems.” Turrentine emphasized that Democratic leaders are paralyzed by the fear of backlash from their far-left supporters. “The first is our leadership, such as it is, is terrified of being cancelled. If they come out and say it’s great that the border has been secured, they’ll be attacked,” he said. “If they say boys shouldn’t be playing girl sports as [D...

  Newsmax: Vice President JD Vance leads three top contenders in hypothetical matchups for the 2028 presidential election, an Emerson College poll revealed Friday. The poll of 1,400 U.S. voters taken July 21-22 showed that Vance held narrow margins over three Democrats who are potential candidates: former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points. Vance held his slimmest margin against Buttigieg, at 43.9% to 43.1%, with 13.1% undecided. The poll showed that in 2024, 42% of respondents voted for President Donald Trump in November and 40.5% for Vice President Kamala Harris, with 15.7% saying they did not vote and 1.8% saying they voted for someone else. ... I am surprised that the race would be that close.  None of the three Democrats has shown the kind of leadership needed to be a strong president.  Newsom is probably the best of the ...

 NY Post: AOC heckled by hysterical protester shouting about Gaza ‘genocide’ at NYC town hall: ‘Shame on you’ Gaza was not attacked until the Palestinians there engaged in the mass murder of Israeli civilians and stated their genocidal ambitions.  Israel's response to those attacks was to attack the attackers.  This was a reasonable response.  Those who are critical of AOC and Israel are the ones who are supporting the genocide of the Jews.  While I am not a fan of AOC, I think the critics are wrong to attack her in this case.

  Trending Politics: Chuck Schumer (D-NY) might be the Senate’s top Democrat, but a new poll suggests his grip on power is slipping fast. A survey conducted by Data for Progress shows Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) leading Schumer by a whopping 19 points in a hypothetical 2028 Democratic primary matchup. While the longtime New York senator still holds the title of Majority Leader, his popularity among the party’s base appears to be cratering. Between March 26 and 31, 767 likely Democratic primary voters in New York were asked who they would support in a Schumer vs. AOC primary. The results: 55% for Ocasio-Cortez, just 36% for Schumer. Those numbers weren’t an outlier either — the poll found Schumer had the highest disapproval rating of any Democratic figure tested. By contrast, Ocasio-Cortez had one of the highest favorables, trailing only Bernie Sanders (I-VT), Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren (D-MA). ... I have never thought of AOC being smart enough for the job of sena...

 Just the News: President Donald Trump's border czar Tom Homan on Monday slammed Democratic lawmakers, accusing them of not knowing much about U.S. immigration law, after one lawmaker appeared to misinterpret it. Texas Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett mistakenly claimed that it was not a "criminal violation" to enter the United States illegally, even though it would violate Title VIII of the United States Code 1325. The line has also been used by Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Homan referenced the title during an exchange on Fox Business’s Varney & Co , where he blasted lawmakers for not knowing the laws they have helped to pass. "It’s really pathetic that any member of Congress don’t understand what the law says. They wrote the law. They enacted the law. It was signed by a president,” Homan said. “It is a criminal violation to enter the country illegally. If you’ve entered prior, it’s a felony ... We will enforce those laws.” ... I suspect ...

  The Federalist Wire: ... On Monday, President Donald Trump’s border czar, Tom Homan, sharply criticized Democratic lawmakers, accusing them of possessing a limited grasp of U.S. immigration law. The remarks came in response to a misstatement by Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett, who inaccurately claimed that entering the United States illegally does not constitute a “criminal violation.” This assertion contradicts Title VIII of the United States Code 1325, which clearly defines illegal entry as a crime. Notably, a similar line of reasoning has been echoed by Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Homan’s comments were made during an appearance on Fox Business’s Varney & Co., where he expressed frustration over lawmakers’ apparent unfamiliarity with the very statutes they have played a role in establishing. “It’s really pathetic that any member of Congress don’t understand what the law says. They wrote the law. They enacted the law. It was ...
