The Michigan U.S. Senate candidate says he’s African because his father is from Egypt.

DSA member Angie Nixon handily defeated Alexander Vindman in the Florida Democrat primary for Senate. It was a major upset. Tarlov says his defeat likely signals that the 'Resist Lib' past of the Democrat Party will no longer determine future candidates.]]>Thu, 20 Aug 2026 01:50:00 -0400<![CDATA[Warren Squire]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Florida]]><![CDATA[Jessica Tarlov]]><![CDATA[Kamala Harris]]><![CDATA[Senate]]>https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2026/08/20/in-wake-of-vidmans-crushing-loss-jessica-tarlov-says-she-hopes-its-the-end-of-resist-lib-era-n2431474<![CDATA[It’s pretty much a given that California Governor Gavin Newsom will run for the White House in 2028. The Democrat Party’s bench is woefully thin. You know it’s bad when Democrat strategists are excited at the prospect of Democratic socialist Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez running for president. This is why Newsom seems more likely to run than not. But will he make a good Commander-in-Chief?]]>Thu, 20 Aug 2026 01:00:00 -0400<![CDATA[Warren Squire]]><![CDATA[2028 Elections]]><![CDATA[California]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Gavin Newsom]]><![CDATA[White House]]>https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2026/08/20/reporter-asks-gavin-newsom-if-hed-make-a-good-president-twice-he-answers-he-doesnt-know-n2431476<![CDATA[It's harp on Natalie Harp week, with Sen. John Ossoff kicking things off by telling a crowd that President Donald Trump doesn't want to work; he just wants to "travel with Natalie." Picking up on what Nancy Pelosi called the wrap-up smear, CNN's Erin Burnett tracked down Harp's estranged stoner brother to try to get some dirt on her, while The New York Times' Maggie Haberman literally dehumanized her by calling her a "human binkie." Miami Herald investigative journalist referred to Harp as Trump's "side piece." (There sure seem to be a lot of bitter white women out there jealous of a successful young cancer survivor with an important job in the administration.)]]>Wed, 19 Aug 2026 23:00:03 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Bill Kristol]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Jon Ossoff]]><![CDATA[The New York Times]]><![CDATA[Trump Administration]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/08/19/bill-kristol-its-perfectly-legitimate-to-ask-what-job-natalie-harp-is-doing-to-serve-the-public-n2431458<![CDATA[Apparently there has been a back and forth between Treasury Sec.

We're old enough to remember when Al Gore, who has been wrong about everything he's ever said, claimed that Jesus was homeless. Anti-ICE protesters — and sadly, some clergy members — insist that Jesus was a refugee. And Kansas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Cindy Holscher has "no idea if Jesus was trans, gay, straight, etc." Oh, and Jesus was a socialist.]]>Wed, 19 Aug 2026 18:00:10 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Christianity]]><![CDATA[Socialism]]><![CDATA[Abdul El-Sayed]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/08/19/abdul-el-sayed-notes-that-jesus-was-considered-a-radical-in-his-time-too-n2431462<![CDATA[It's too bad for David Morens that he didn't get one of those blanket pardons that President Joe Biden handed out to his former colleague, Anthony Fauci.
