There is no woke policy she doesn’t support.

Even Will Rogers might be hard pressed to come up with an appropriately harsh jibe about the current state of the Democrats.

“I am not a member of any organized political party,” the 20th-century humorist famously said. “I am a Democrat.”

Now, the problem isn’t a lack of organization per se, but the hangover of their dogged, dishonest support for a comprehensively failed presidency, joined to an irrational commitment to outlandish positions on cultural issues.

Gavin Newsom, distancing himself from some of the liberal policies he embraced as California governor, has embarked on an experiment ahead of a potential presidential run: hosting a podcast featuring right-wing guests, including former Trump strategist Stephen K. Bannon and conservative activist Charlie Kirk.

The gambit has achieved one of Newsom’s perennial goals: making himself part of the nation’s political conversation as he seeks to portray himself as a disrupter within the Democratic Party.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) new podcast hosting prominent supporters of President Trump is raising questions about his political strategy as he wraps up his tenure as governor and keeps the door open to a 2028 presidential run.  

The first few episodes of “This is Gavin Newsom” have found the governor seeking common ground with conservative figures like Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon. The show has also seen Newsom break with Democrats on the issue of transgender athletes in women’s sports, calling it “deeply unfair.”  

California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom infamously dodged a recall election, dined out at a fancy restaurant during mass COVID-19 lockdowns, and pivoted from massive deadly wildfire mismanagement. 

He is now running a podcast where he invites staunch conservatives for debate.

All of which has Democrats seeing red.

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear took a swipe Thursday at a fellow leading Democrat, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, for hosting one of the most prominent figures in the MAGA movement on his new podcast.

Beshear, whose popularity in a heavily Republican state has turned him into a potential presidential candidate, told reporters that Newsom shouldn’t have opened his platform to Steve Bannon, an outspoken advocate of the “America first” agenda of President Donald Trump.

On Friday the Senate minority leader, Chuck Schumer, committed the grave sin of accepting reality, and his party is now furious.

Democrats were outmaneuvered by House Republicans on a measure to fund the government, and the only options for Democrats by late last week were to fold and vote for it or plunge into a government shutdown for which they were likely to pay a heavy political price.

The Democratic Party’s premier fundraising machine is facing an uncertain future amid investigations, staff departures, and political headwinds. ActBlue stands accused by Republicans of illegally collecting money for Democrats during the 2024 election by using deceptive methods. But its brushes with controversy go back further than the last cycle. And its next chapter could be consequential for a Democratic Party that is out of power and directionless. Part 1 of this Washington Examiner series will look at what accusations ActBlue is facing.

Mayoral candidate and then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo used heavy-handed tactics and secretiveness with Big Apple officials as the city struggled to contain the deadly COVID pandemic, a scathing new study says.

Ex-Mayor Bill de Blasio also gets dinged in the report, which was issued by several city agencies that analyzed New York City’s handling of the health crisis — and which specifically criticized the toxic relationship between him and Cuomo.

A federal judge on Wednesday halted parts of President Donald Trump’s executive order that targeted a Democratic-linked law firm.

US District Judge Beryl Howell sided with the firm Perkins Coie, which represented Hillary Clinton in 2016 and has been involved in election litigation that Trump opposed.

Opposition to DOGE is driving Democrats to reject legislation to recover stolen pandemic unemployment benefits.

While occupied with budget bills to keep the government open and set future spending and tax levels, Congress is also cleaning up past messes. Today, the House is expected to vote on legislation to hold criminals accountable for stealing over $100 billion in pandemic-era unemployment benefits.
