The governor of California, Gavin Newsom, in an appearance in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary state of New Hampshire, reiterated his use of the term "apartheid" to describe Israel and did not correct his chosen interviewer, who falsely claimed "every expert" has described Israel's actions in Gaza as "genocide."

ProPublica Faces Threat of Newsroom Strike

ProPublica, which describes itself as "an independent, nonprofit newsroom that produces investigative journalism with moral force," but is in reality a left-wing investigative outlet bankrolled by left-wing foundations, left-wing donors, and anonymous benefactors, is facing a possible strike by workers who formed a union in 2023 but say management has been "unwilling to accept basic union protections" after more than two years of contract negotiations.

ALERT: Matt Duss Poised to Surpass Ian Sams as Worst Democratic Aide

Ian Sams may finally have some competition for the title of worst Democratic aide of the 21st century. The notoriously incompetent communications adviser has fallen off the radar after guiding Kamala Harris to a tremendous defeat in 2024. Sams has been "self-employed" ever since.

Stu Burguiere exposes the Democrats' hatred for … the Democrats



Growing infighting among prominent Democrats signals deeper instability within the party — and BlazeTV host Stu Burguiere has the receipts to back it up.

“It seems like there is a little bit of trouble in paradise these days over on the Democratic side. You’ve seen some of these divides before,” Stu says, reading a Fox News headline: “John Fetterman slams anti-Israel ‘rot’ in Democratic Party, rejects AOC’s claims of Gaza ‘genocide.’”

Another recent headline from The Hill reads, “House Democrat: Mamdani’s proposed wealth taxes ‘not going to work.’”

“That is [Rep. Jared] Moskowitz. He’s fighting with Mamdani because Mamdani wants a wealth tax and Moskowitz says that’s not going to work. By the way, one reason it’s not going to work as a federal situation is because it’s completely unconstitutional,” Stu comments.


“Now, of course, Mamdani does not care whatsoever about those sorts of things,” he adds.

Even Bernie Sanders and Gavin Newsom have now become “adversaries” over the push to tax California billionaires.

“Of course, you know, Bernie Sanders, number one, is a socialist. Number two, doesn’t have to worry about actually funding the state and, you know, building new magical railroads across it. So he doesn’t care about whether all the billionaires leave or not. He’s going to get their money either way, right?” Stu explains.

“There’s a big divide inside that party. Now, that’s not to say, I will point out, that there’s none of this going on on the right. It is existing on the right as well. But on the left it’s really interesting,” he says, pointing out that when one party holds more power, the other party tends to put aside internal differences and unite.

“You saw some of that, I think, during 2024, where people looked at the Biden situation and were like, ‘Gosh, we don’t want any more of this.’ They united around Trump even though there was a lot of people who liked him and a lot of people who didn’t like him on the Republican side,” Stu says.

But the Democrats are not showing the same strength, and a new AP-NORC poll only solidifies Stu’s point.

The poll reflects that “many Democrats are still down on their party after 2024."

“You see, there was some uniting going on — a little bit, maybe, you could argue — in the early days of the Trump administration, where approval of the Democratic Party among Democrats rose north of 83%. Now it’s dropped to 70%. Interesting. Not a massive drop-off, but significant,” Stu says.

And positive views of the Democratic Party are down among Democrats, from 92% at the turn of the century to 80% today.

“We’ve never seen one as low as it is now, though,” Stu comments.

“That’s not good. That’s bad,” he adds.

Did AIPAC accidentally elect the next Squad member?



The most powerful pro-Israel lobby may have accidentally boosted a progressive rising star who has accused the Jewish state of committing genocide in Gaza.

The New Jersey Democrat primary is in dead heat between former Rep. Tom Malinowski and Analilia Mejia, who has secured the backing of prominent Democrats like Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. In the race to replace Mikie Sherrill, who was just elected to serve as New Jersey's governor, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee is once again putting its thumb on the scale.

'AIPAC has historically enjoyed a winning streak of ousting anti-Zionist Democrats.'

Malinowski criticized aid to Israel, prompting a multimillion-dollar ad campaign against the Democrat funded by AIPAC.

The campaign hammered Malinowski for his track record on immigration, attempting to frame the Democrat as a pro-Immigration and Customs Enforcement candidate who approved President Donald Trump's deportation funding in 2019.

AIPAC likely projected the ad targeting Malinowski would boost pro-Israel Democratic Lt. Gov. Tahesha Way in the overcrowded primary, but polls show they may have massively underestimated Mejia.

AIPAC has historically enjoyed a winning streak of ousting anti-Zionist Democrats, including Squad members like former Reps. Jamaal Bowman of New York and Cori Bush of Missouri.

This time around, the race remains too close to call, with the latest poll results putting Mejia at a razor-thin advantage of less than 1%.

New Jersey's 11th congressional districts used to be staunchly Republican but flipped to a deep-blue district in 2018, when Sherill defeated GOP candidate Jay Webber. Given the district's newly Democratic affiliation, a primary victory for Mejia would likely guarantee her a seat in the House of Representatives.

Bernie Sanders gets obliterated online for dragging Melania into left-wing criticism of WaPo layoffs



Socialist Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) jumped into the fray over the layoffs at the Washington Post and was immediately met with brutal backlash online.

Sanders tried to lambast the outlet's owner, Jeff Bezos, and tied the layoffs to the Amazon deal to film and promote a documentary about first lady Melania Trump. The movie, "Melania," garnered $7 million in domestic ticket sales in its opening weekend, placing it third behind two major studio films.

'Your financial illiteracy is confusing you again.'

"If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff. Democracy dies in oligarchy," Sanders wrote Wednesday on social media.

Many fired back at Sanders and pointed out that he was a millionaire many times over despite his constant criticism of millionaires and billionaires.

"He didn't fire them because he couldn't afford them. He fired them because nobody's reading them. Maybe the Washington Post should ask why a third of their staff couldn't produce journalism people were willing to pay for," read one popular response.

"84-year drain on the Treasury outraged that guy responsible for an entire percentage point of U.S GDP dislikes wasting money on financial drains like him," replied Luther Abel of National Review.

"Since you’ve never had a real job in your life, let me explain something to you: Bezos is not obligated to continue pouring millions of dollars into a failing enterprise just because a bunch of self-entitled, pompous leftists need affirmation of these grand delusions in print," read another response.

"The lesson here is that no billionaire should ever invest in any progressive institution. They’ll rail you while you own it and they’ll rail you when you try to parachute out. The only winning move is not to play," wrote another critic.

"Your financial illiteracy is confusing you again. Successful people don’t continue to pour millions of dollars (a billion in 10 years) into failing businesses as you do with our tax dollars," replied another detractor.

Bezos, who became one of the wealthiest men on Earth by founding Amazon, purchased the Washington Post in 2013, but only recently began shifting the focus of the news outlet toward supporting freedom and free markets.

On Wednesday the Post announced layoffs of about 700 of its staff, which is about a third of the employees. Critics accused Bezos of undermining democracy in order to appease President Donald Trump, who has been critical of Bezos as well as the Post.

Bezos attended Trump's inauguration in January 2025.
