Democrats, syndrome', Epstein, Derangement0 comment

Updated on September 5, 2025, at 2:55 p.m. To hear Donald Trump’s critics tell it, all of the disquieting news that the president has generated this summer—the FBI raid on former National Security Adviser John Bolton’s home, the National Guard deployment in cities, Trump’s attempt to fire Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, his accusation that Barack Obama led a coup and committed “the crime of the century”—has been an effort to divert attention from the issue that truly terrifies Trump: the Jeffrey Epstein files. It has become the Democrats’ go-to…

The Democrats’ Biggest Senate Recruits Have One Thing in Common

common, Biggest, recruits, Democrats, Senate, thing0 comment

When news broke this week that Sherrod Brown would run next year to reclaim a Senate seat in Ohio, Democrats cheered the reports as a huge coup. Before losing a reelection bid last year, Brown had been the last Democrat to win statewide office in a state that has veered sharply to the right over the past decade. His entry instantly transforms the Ohio race from a distant dream to a plausible pickup opportunity for the party. If most Democrats were ecstatic about Brown’s planned comeback bid, Amanda Litman was…

As New York Governor Kathy Hochul denounced the GOP’s aggressive attempt to gerrymander Democrats into political oblivion this week, she lamented her party’s built-in disadvantage. “I’m tired of fighting this fight with my hand tied behind my back,” she told reporters. As political metaphors go, it’s not a bad one. Hochul omitted a key detail, however: Democrats provided the rope themselves. For more than a decade, they’ve tried to be the party of good government on redistricting. But Democrats’ support for letting independent commissions draw legislative maps has cost them…

Yes, if Democrats can take back the House in 2026, then we can stop Trump from continuing to strip away Americans’ rights. There are things we can all be doing right now to get Trump out of office.  Remember, Democrats need to flip only three seats to flip the House. Just three seats.  In his first six months as president, Trump has already slashed America’s budget and signed dangerous bills into law. Trump and Republicans have taken away Americans’ health care, their SNAP benefits, and their cancer research funding. MoveOn…

Senate Democrats seek to restore, strengthen PMF program with new legislation

seek, Program, restore, Legislation, strengthen, Democrats, Senate0 comment

Two Senate Democrats hope to reinstate the recently eliminated Presidential Management Fellows (PMF) program and permanently secure the nearly 50-year-old effort for recruiting and retaining federal talent. The Training Aspiring Leaders Emerging Now to Serve, or TALENTS Act, which Sens. Andy Kim (D-N.J.) and Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) introduced Thursday, would reestablish the PMF program. The bill comes in response to President Donald Trump eliminating the PMF program by executive order in February. Under the TALENTS Act, the PMF program would not only be restored, but also codified in federal regulations, effectively…

Editor’s note: This is a lightly edited transcript of today’s video from Daily Signal Senior Contributor Victor Davis Hanson. Subscribe to our YouTube channel to see more of his videos. Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. Recently, a rather bizarre topic came up here in California. There was a bill introduced in the California Legislature not to have a felony designation for men who solicit minors 16 and 17 years old for sex. In other words, the interest is in favor of the solicitor, the person who…
