A majority of Democrats believe their party needs new leadership and a sharper focus on economic issues, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted June 11–16.

Sixty-two percent of self-identified Democrats agreed that the Democratic Party's leadership should be replaced with new people. Only 24 percent disagreed, while the rest were unsure or did not respond.

The nationwide online poll, which surveyed 4,258 people, including 1,293 Democrats, suggests growing dissatisfaction within the party following former Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris's loss to President Donald Trump last fall and less than two years out from the 2026 midterm elections. The margin of error for Democratic respondents was about +/- 3 percentage points, according to the survey.

Democratic voters expressed frustration that party leaders were not prioritizing the issues they care about most—particularly the cost of living, affordable health care, and corporate influence in politics.

Some of the GOP's proposals for reforming Medicaid are remarkably popular with the American public. Cutting the deceased from the rolls, for example, polls at 86% approval — about as close as you're going to get to everybody these days. Similarly, cutting illegal immigrants from the rolls polls at 82%.

The Biden-Harris admin allowed countless potential threats into the homeland and released hundreds of Iranians.

The Department of Homeland Security issued a national terrorism advisory bulletin on Sunday warning that Iran-linked extremists might seek to execute retaliatory attacks on American soil in the wake of the U.S. B-2 bombings of Iranian nuclear sites.

The previous U.S. administration's failure to secure the southern border, its cover-up of the rise in terrorism-linked migrants, and its release of hundreds of Iranian nationals into the homeland altogether appear to have helped create the environment in which such threats are viable.

Kathleen Wynn was a disaster for this province. But, Mark Carney has been the puppet master behind Trudeau and now that he is out in front he is putting the Davos agenda into overdrive. So, Carney is the worst.

Democratic Socialist Stuns Cuomo in NYC Mayoral Primary

Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old New York state assemblyman, is leading in the first round of the Democratic primary contest for mayor of New York City after former Gov. Andrew Cuomo conceded the race in a stunning upset. Mamdani, a Democratic socialist who was first elected to the New York State Assembly in 2021, led the first-round tallies with 43.5 percent of the vote shortly before midnight on Tuesday.

Cuomo, who served as governor from 2011 until his resignation in 2021—due to an impeachment process following allegations of sexual misconduct he had denied—was long the frontrunner in the race, until Mamdani closed the polling gap in recent weeks.

A looming Supreme Court decision on nationwide injunctions could have "enormous" impacts on the Trump administration, George Washington University law professor and Fox News contributor Jonathan Turley said Tuesday.

The high court is poised to decide on the practice that can currently halt executive branch policies affecting the entire country.

Conservatives have argued that injunctions have been strategically sought in left-wing jurisdictions as a strategy to frustrate the Trump administration's agenda on immigration enforcement and deportations.

"It's going to be an enormous decision potentially," Turley shared with "Fox & Friends," noting that a decision may come on Thursday.

"For the administration in the immigration areas, as well as other areas, the court could very well say, 'Enough. We're not going to have individual judges freezing the entire United States government on critical programs like this."

Turley said that many of the injunctions are brought in "favorable" jurisdictions in front of "favorable" judges who issue the injunctions to stop the president's policies in their tracks.

He cited U.S. District Judge Brian Murphy, a Boston-based federal judge who presided over a class-action lawsuit from illegal migrants who are challenging deportations to third countries – countries that are not their country of origin – including South Sudan, El Salvador and others that the administration has reportedly eyed in its ongoing wave of deportations.

SCOTUS has been punting on too many issues. Its putting the country in danger. The Executive has 100% authority over immigration, period, end of! If POTUS thinks you're too fucking brown to be here or if he hates niggers and doesnt want em here just because they're niggers, or polocks, or jews, or slopes, or WOPS and they have no legal status, GTFO!
