Karl: What do you say to the moderate Democrats who say that those positions are going to doom the Democratic Party? AOC: In terms of dooming the party, the idea that there's a diversity of thought in America among everyday voting people is a fundamental fact of our country. I don't think that we should be worried about what somebody somewhere believes. I think we should be focused on what our plan to improve people's lives are.

My father and my uncle were members of a Democratic Party that was at the forefront of making sure that every American could vote for the candidate they wanted to. Today’s Democratic Party is doing the opposite.

The mayor of Oakland sat on MSNBC and said that the FBI crime statistics which show that Oakland is the second most dangerous city in America due to crime are misinformation. This is where we are. The democrats are at rock bottom. I have never seen the Democratic Party at such a low and what’s really sad about this is that the psyop in the Republican Party that’s ravaging sanity could be the thing that costs us the 2026 midterms.

.Scott Jennings knocks it out of the park again. His words: The smartest people on the American Left, the most learned people …lawyers and doctors … they could find … they sent to the court, and they sent to the hearing room, and they could not answer two simple questions. - What is a woman? - Can men get pregnant? This is the intellectual state of the American Left. But what are we? Well … - We’re also the Party that thinks the American citizens should come before illegal aliens. - We’re the Party that still believes you should keep more of what you earn. - We’re still the Party that believes in protecting life, born and unborn. - We are the Party that believes in free speech. - We are the Party that fights for the future of the West. And, as our President has told the World … we are the REVOLUTION of COMMON SENSE!

🇺🇸 AOC: "They need 10 Democratic votes in the Senate to pass, continued unfettered ICE funding with no guardrails. Regardless of where you are in the Democratic party, this moment proves that the status quo cannot stand."

Senator Kennedy is TORCHING the "Hamas Wing" of the Democratic Party, and NOBODY says things quite like Kennedy: "I think that the members of the Hamas wing of the Democratic Party who are FIRMLY in control of the party are THE REASON that it took our ancestors THOUSANDS of years to learn to stand upright." "That's what I think." Pretty sure that's what MOST Americans think of the inbred goatf*ckers of Congress.

🚨 Q: Do socialists hurt Democrats in the midterms? PRESIDENT TRUMP: "They should form another party: the COMMUNISTS OF AMERICA Party!" "The Communists of America. And it will do well. It'll get about 10% of the vote!" 💯 Democrats are falling to COMMUNISM. They must be defeated.

Question: Is there room for you and Mamdani in the Democratic Party? Phillips: The answer, ultimately, I think, is no When you have socialists in the Democratic Party, I don't know how anybody could argue that that would be beneficial for the party or for the country

There has been no shortage of analysis about what’s wrong with the Democratic Party. Ben Wikler is focused on what Democrats plan to do about it. The former Wisconsin Democratic Party chair wrote "This Is the Plan," laying out lessons from one of the most closely divided states and what they could mean for Democrats nationwide — especially as the midterms and the presidential primaries are coming soon. Geoff Bennett spoke with him for our PBS News podcast, "Settle In."

I'm getting a vibe from Jon Ossoff I used to get from Pete Buttigieg. Something has changed in Pete. He doesn't look like he's enjoying what he does anymore. Low energy. Jon is connecting, he's on the rise in the Democratic Party. BTW - Gavin Newsom is not the answer.

NEW: Republican congressman stuns CNN panel, says AOC becoming the face of the Democratic Party will hand Republicans victories for years to come. MIKE LAWLER: “I hope that AOC, Pramila Jayapal, Greg Casar—I hope they’re the new face of the Democratic Party. Because Republicans will be winning elections all over the country if that is the face of the Democratic Party.” JAMAAL BOWMAN: “What? Are you crazy?” LAWLER: “Look no further than New York, where issues like cashless bail have been a disaster. Issues like sanctuary state status, congestion pricing. In districts like mine, where Democrats on paper should win big, they’re losing. And so, if AOC is the face of the Democratic Party in swing districts all across this country, she will mobilize voters way more than Nancy Pelosi ever did.”

Hakeem Jeffries says Zohran Mamdani is not the future of the Democratic Party. JAKE TAPPER: Do you see Mamdani as the future of the Democratic Party? JEFFRIES: No. I think the future of the Democratic Party is going to fall, as far as we're concerned, relative to the House Democratic caucus and members who are doing a great work all across the country as it relates to our need to both take back control of the House, but in doing so, make sure that we're communicating to the American people, like, we understand you deserve better than the country that you have received.
