A 32-hour workweek with no reduction in pay and benefits, a federal jobs guarantee, canceling all student debt, and free college from pre-K through graduate school anchor the economic wish list, alongside healthcare that is universal, free, and includes gender-affirming care as a guaranteed right.

The platform calls for more publicly owned social housing, universal rent control, and a guaranteed lawyer for every tenant. On policing, the platform wants demilitarized police departments, defunded police unions, and money pulled out of police budgets entirely, all of which the DSA frames as a first step toward abolishing prisons and policing outright.

On foreign policy, the platform demands the defunding of the Department of War, the closure of overseas military bases, and an end to all foreign wars, and it pairs that with support for International Criminal Court prosecutions of what it deems American war criminals. As for Israel, the DSA calls for an end to all U.S. military and economic aid, prosecution of American and Israeli leaders over what many consider a genocide in Gaza, and recognition of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital.

The DSA is just as blunt about reimagining how the government works. The platform seeks statehood for Washington, D.C., self-determination for U.S. territories, and the abolition of both the Electoral College and the Senate, alongside an expanded House and a presidency and Supreme Court that answer to Congress instead of operating independently. The DSA wants to swap the two-party system for proportional representation and ranked-choice voting and pay for all of it through full public financing of every election.

 To top it all off, the platform calls for slavery reparations.

  She confirmed that the Democratic Socialists of America's platform calls for abolishing the Senate, replacing the presidency and Supreme Court, eliminating ICE, ending borders while granting amnesty to illegal immigrants, defunding the Pentagon, abolishing prisons as a long-term goal, and placing most large corporations under government or public ownership. At every step, she answered without hesitation, affirming that each position accurately reflected the DSA's platform.

You Will NEVER Guess Who James Carville Wants to Take Over the ‘Dysfunctional’ DNC as New Chairman

  

 It’s David Hogg. Yes, really.

 The Hill reports:

Carville: Hogg should take over ‘dysfunctional’ DNC

Democratic political strategist James Carville on Sunday said David Hogg, former Democratic National Committee (DNC) vice chair, should succeed current chair Ken Martin, calling the DNC “dysfunctional.”

Carville, who explained he was recovering from hernia surgery, said in a video posted to YouTube that he wanted to weigh in on The New York Times’s reporting on Martin and the DNC.

 

The report alleges that Martin has been under pressure amid financial woes within the party and — as the Times writes — is “gripped by fear that he will lose his job and relying on a vanishingly small circle of people he trusts.”

“It was a story on a DNC that basically said it’s dysfunctional,” Carville said. “It’s just difficult to do anything with it, and it’s all true. And at the end of the day, who cares?”

Carville said that some of the DNC’s leaders could “get themselves together” and “figure out a way maybe they could be somewhat relevant, I have no idea.”

“If David Hogg wants to take it over, I ain’t stopping you,” he continued. “Go ahead, man, I don’t really care. And I don’t think, at the end of the day, well, they might be fine people. I know some of them are not particularly determined.”

Hogg has already responded and says that he doesn’t want the job.

 How Does A Political Party Leader Survive This?

  Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News,

Far left UK Green Party leader Zack Polanski has caused uproar by sharing an Instagram post featuring a man in a T-shirt depicting a guillotine next to the words "We're only making plans for Nigel." The clear target was Reform UK leader Nigel Farage.

 This lands just two weeks after Reform's Ann Widdecombe was beaten to death with a hammer in her own home.

Reform has reported Polanski to the Metropolitan Police for incitement to murder. The Met says it is conducting enquiries.

  Republicans hope for (miracle) upset over Hochul.

  Liberal New York Governor Kathy Hochul could potentially lose the deep blue state in November after a recent poll shows her pro-Trump challenger within striking distance.

A survey showed Hochul leading Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman by just four points, 47-43. Ten percent of registered voters are still undecided.

Red Oak Strategic – which conducted the poll on behalf of a pro-Blakeman super PAC – showed just 38 percent of those questioned viewing the Democrat favorably, compared to 58 percent unfavorably.

Only 33 percent of those surveyed say Hochul – who has been endorsed by socialist and newfound ally Zohran Mamdani – deserves a second full term.

Blakeman, meanwhile, is seen favorably by 30 percent of voters against just 23 percent unfavorably, according to The New York Post.

 Perhaps most alarmingly, Hochul – who took over in 2021 after Andrew Cuomo resigned – trails Blakeman among independents by a whopping 21 points, 54-33.

Positive signs for Hochul remain her advantage in fundraising, as she has a combined $43million to spend between her own campaign and the state Democrat Party.

Hochul defeated former Congressman and current EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin by just six points in 2022, when traditionally liberal areas lagged in the midterm of Joe Biden’s presidency.
