Carolla says he’s justified because he was on the receiving end of backlash stirred up by Cuomo.

Manley is black and has declared that only someone with his skin color should hold that congressional seat. Until recently, it was a black majority district.

The official platform will be voted on at the Democratic National Convention in 2028. With the party’s love of all illegal aliens over Americans and the infusion of radical members of the Democratic Socialists of America into its ranks, it's hard to imagine them not adding it to the platform.]]>Tue, 18 Aug 2026 01:55:00 -0400<![CDATA[Warren Squire]]><![CDATA[2028 Elections]]><![CDATA[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[DNC]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[ICE]]><![CDATA[Illegal Alien]]>https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2026/08/18/its-official-the-formal-democrat-party-platform-is-to-abolish-ice-according-to-new-dnc-resolution-n2431381<![CDATA[As we reported earlier, CNN is doing what it can to keep the narrative alive that sailors and Marines are being mistreated by the Trump administration, to the point where "multiple" (is that two or three?) sailors have tried to jump overboard after being deployed since November. Kaitlin Collins picked up a story in The Military Times about a wife who said her husband tried to jump overboard, and earlier on Monday, CNN reported on a power outage on a destroyer last month due to an engineering error that lasted four days. If it makes the Trump administration look bad and hurts both service members' and public morale, CNN is now on it.]]>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 23:00:40 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[Iran]]><![CDATA[Israel]]><![CDATA[Military]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/08/17/messages-scrawled-on-aircraft-flap-by-service-members-show-no-morale-says-propagandist-n2431380<![CDATA[We're not sure why Dad to the Bone decided to give us this quick reminder on August 16, 2026, but here it is. MAGA celebrated Kyle Rittenhouse when he showed up at a mostly peaceful protest and shot and killed white rioters who were trying to kill him and had a handgun to his head.

Wayne Allyn Root of Real America's Voice told President Trump, "You have the right to declare a national security emergency for elections," to which Trump replied, "Stranger things have happened." That led Tapper to confess that there's zero reason to believe Trump isn't planning something alarming to disrupt the midterms.]]>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 20:00:18 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Donald Trump]]><![CDATA[Illegal Immigration]]><![CDATA[Jake Tapper]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/08/17/ex-trump-lawyer-tells-mehdi-hasan-hes-not-sure-american-democracy-survives-2026-midterms-n2431386<![CDATA[Michigan Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers posted a 17-second video of himself riding in a vintage pickup truck during the Woodward Dream Cruise, a celebration of automotive culture, and according to Democratic Socialist Abdul El-Sayed's campaign staffer Mason Pressler, Rogers' campaign has the aesthetics of "a 1960s white flight suburb and a KKK cross burning." Pressler notes that he was formerly the youngest elected official in Michigan and is a 20-year-old school board member, so his memories of the 1960s are still burned into his brain.]]>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 19:00:39 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Michigan]]><![CDATA[Mike Rogers]]><![CDATA[Republican Party]]><![CDATA[Abdul El-Sayed]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/08/17/team-abdul-el-sayed-member-thinks-mike-rogers-campaign-has-the-aesthetics-of-a-kkk-cross-burning-n2431378<![CDATA[Here's how the news is made. The wife of a sailor who attempted to jump overboard from the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln either posted about it online or emailed her story to a reporter at The Military Times, which is not affiliated with the U.S. military. The Military Times reporter writes up the anecdote and publishes it, and suddenly there's a media frenzy suggesting that hordes of sailors are trying to commit suicide by jumping overboard because their deployment was scheduled to end in May. CNN's Kaitlan Collins picks up the story and interviews the wife over Zoom. People post photos of the meager meals on the aircraft carrier, which even Snopes steps in to debunk: aircraft carriers don't have cinderblock walls. A TikTok video of grimy showers, stained floors, and filthy toilets alleged aboard the Abraham Lincoln goes viral, except more discerning viewers note that the sailor is wearing a construction helmet, meaning this ship is not currently deployed.]]>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 18:00:54 -0400<![CDATA[Brett T.]]><![CDATA[CNN]]><![CDATA[Military]]><![CDATA[Pete Hegseth]]>https://twitchy.com/brettt/2026/08/17/cnn-reports-on-us-navy-destroyer-that-spent-four-days-without-power-n2431385<![CDATA[After Democratic Socialist Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic primary in the race to be Michigan's next senator, the NRSC sent out a press release using his full name, Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed. "Subtle stuff from the NRSC," The Bulwark's Stein whined. This seems to have really triggered El-Sayed, who said at a rally, "If you can't say the name Abdulrahman, keep the name out of your damn mouth!

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says there’s room for these radical socialists. But Jeffries claims he doesn’t support the DSA’s stated agenda of defunding police, open borders, and abolishing the Senate. Jeffries ignores that these DSA members will influence the platform of Democrat Party and exert pressure on Democrats to adopt these destructive and unpopular positions.]]>Mon, 17 Aug 2026 16:30:00 -0400<![CDATA[Warren Squire]]><![CDATA[2026 Elections]]><![CDATA[Communism]]><![CDATA[Democrat Party]]><![CDATA[Hakeem Jeffries]]><![CDATA[House of Representatives]]><![CDATA[Socialism]]>https://twitchy.com/warren-squire/2026/08/17/hakeem-jeffries-i-do-not-support-defunding-the-police-open-borders-abolishing-the-senate-n2431354<![CDATA[As we told you earlier, Democrat Sen.
