Dem with POTUS potential takes aim at own party, ‘whole rebrand’ needed amid Trump resistance

Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., has been crisscrossing the country the past couple of months, taking a lead in amplifying the Democratic Party’s message in resisting President Donald Trump’s aggressive and controversial actions in overturning long-standing government policy and slashing the federal workforce.
But Khanna, the California Democrat who’s in his fifth term in the House and who likely harbors national ambitions in 2028, is not only turning up the volume in his broadsides against Trump and Vice President JD Vance, Trump’s heir apparent, but also against his own party.
«We have to have a whole rebrand of the Democratic Party with a coherent platform and a future-oriented platform, and many leaders need to do that. New leaders, not the old guard. And I hope to be part of that,» Khanna said in an interview with Fox News Digital.

When asked if party leaders need to be more vocal in pushing back against the Trump administration, Khanna quickly said yes.
«We need more from our leadership. And you know, if you’re not willing to speak up about someone being snatched away from their home and deported without due process, you probably shouldn’t be in elective office as a Democrat right now,» he said. «We need Democrats speaking out, not just on the economy. We need them speaking out on civil liberties, on the rights of immigrants and on the rights of universities.»

But Khanna also praised the recent record-breaking marathon Senate floor speech by Sen. Cory Booker D-N.J., and the large rallies across the country being co-headlined by Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

The Democratic Party is currently in the political wilderness, following last November’s election setbacks, when Republicans won back control of the White House and the Senate and defended their fragile House majority. Republicans also made gains among Black and Hispanic voters, as well as younger voters, all traditional members of the Democratic Party’s base.
Democrats have become increasingly angry and very energized in response to Trump’s moves. That anger is directed not only at Trump and Republicans, but also at fellow Democrats. Many in the party’s base feel their leaders in Congress haven’t been effective or vocal enough in pushing back against the president.
BERNIE SANDERS, AOC AND OTHER ANTI-TRUMP PROGRESSIVES HAUL IN BIG BUCKS FOR 2026 MIDTERMS
And the energy has been evident at town halls this winter and early spring held by both Democratic and Republican members of Congress.
National polls conducted in February by Quinnipiac University, and last month by CNN and by NBC News, indicated the favorable ratings for the Democratic Party sinking to all-time lows.
And a Gallup poll released on Thursday spotlighted that confidence in the Democratic Party’s congressional leadership has sunk to an all-time low.
Looking ahead to next year’s midterm elections, when House Democrats aim to topple the GOP’s razor-thin majority in the House, Khanna said he will continue his brisk pace on the campaign trail.

«I’m already going out to more red districts. We did three red districts in California. I’m headed out to Pennsylvania. Was invited to go out to Nebraska, to Nevada, down south to South Carolina,» he said. «So we will be campaigning in red districts. Thousands of people are showing up. I’m very, very confident that we’re going to succeed.»

This past week, Khanna trained his verbal fire on Vance as he delivered two high-profile speeches in the vice president’s home state of Ohio on Monday and on Tuesday at Yale Law School, where both politicians earned their legal degrees.
In his interview with Fox News Digital in New Haven, Connecticut, ahead of the Yale speech, Khanna was asked if his attacks on Vance were an early 2028 positioning move.
Khanna responded that «what I’m doing is providing an intellectual foundation for the Democratic Party.»

$30K in migrant housing aid has Dem gov on hot seat for ‘revolving door’ policy

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
While she is shutting down her sanctuary state’s migrant shelters, critics are accusing Democratic Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey of simply shifting the costs over to a program that makes migrants eligible to receive at least $30,000 in housing assistance over two years.
The Boston Herald reported in June that the Healey administration had increased spending in Massachusetts’ HomeBASE program to $97 million in 2025, up from $9.5 million in 2022, according to state data.
The outlet reported that eligible families in the Massachusetts-run shelter system were being provided with $30,000 in rental assistance over two years. According to the Herald, the total caseload for HomeBASE increased under Healey from 1,473 in January 2023 to 7,767 in April 2025, more than a 400 percent increase. The outlet also said that some eligible families could qualify for an additional $15,000 in a third year of assistance but that state officials planned to pause third year assistance in July.
After that report, Massachusetts GOP Chair Amy Carnevale commented that the HomeBASE program amounted to being «shelters by another name.»

«Taxpayers are giving migrant families nearly limitless free rental assistance. Meanwhile, federal action means these families won’t be receiving work permits anytime soon,» she went on, adding, «The migrant shelter crisis is not over, and cost-shifting is not leadership.»
This month, Healey announced the closure of all remaining hotel shelters in the Bay State amid the formal termination of her executive emergency focused on the state’s Biden-era migrant influx.
In a statement emailed to Fox News Digital, Carnevale said that «friends, favors, and failures continue to emerge even as she declares that the migrant crisis is over.»
«Healey should rip off the Band-Aid and tell the public whether these same oversights are occurring in the HomeBASE program,» she continued.

«The abuse of taxpayer dollars, coupled with a stunning lack of oversight by Maura Healey and her administration, will define her legacy as governor.»
Meanwhile, Jon Fetherston, a former Massachusetts migrant shelter director who blew the whistle about rampant crime and abuse taking place in the system, commented that «instead of creating stability, HomeBase has become a revolving door of short-term rental assistance.»
He said that because migrants often spend the bulk of their $30,000 on upfront costs, many become unable to sustain their housing within months.
«The Healey Administration’s expansion of the HomeBASE program was sold to the public as a solution, one that would save money, reduce shelter dependence, and help migrant families become self-sufficient. But the reality is far different,» he explained. «HomeBASE is now a bloated, mismanaged program that’s failing both the taxpayers who fund it and the migrants it claims to help.»

«HomeBASE, in its current form, is a broken promise,» he said. «Taxpayers are footing a nearly $100 million bill with little transparency, no measurable outcomes and no end in sight. The promise of savings from closing hotel shelters is being quietly replaced with backdoor spending that still lacks accountability.

«This isn’t a hand-up; it’s a setup for failure.»
Fox News Digital reached out to Healey’s office for comment but did not receive a response by the time of publication.

Viajó a Turquía con su hijo y terminó con 40 puntos en la cabeza: «Pensé que me moría»

Lo que prometía ser unas vacaciones soñadas en la costa turca se transformó en una pesadilla para Fia Lane, una joven madre británica de 30 años. El accidente no solo la dejó con graves heridas físicas, sino que también impactó de lleno en su hijo Kairo, de apenas 7 años, que presenció todo y aún no logra superar el trauma.
Todo comenzó en agosto de 2023, cuando Fia viajó desde Ealing, West London, junto a Kairo, su hermana menor Mischa-Leigh (18) y su madre Cathy (54) para visitar a su tía Diane en Fethiye, una ciudad portuaria sobre la famosa Costa Turquesa de Turquía.

El primer día transcurrió entre playa y cenas familiares. Pero al día siguiente, la tragedia golpeó de lleno.
Un paseo en cuatriciclo que terminó en horror
La mañana arrancó tranquila, con un chapuzón en la pileta del complejo donde vivía Diane. Después, Fia y Mischa-Leigh decidieron dar una vuelta en el cuatriciclo de la tía, algo habitual entre los residentes de la zona.
Sin casco y vestidas con ropa liviana, salieron a recorrer las calles internas del barrio. “Nunca me preocupé por el casco en esas calles tranquilas”, reconoció Fia.
Pero en segundos, todo cambió. Un gato se cruzó en el camino y Mischa-Leigh, al intentar esquivarlo, apretó el acelerador en vez del freno. El cuatriciclo volcó y Fia salió despedida, golpeando la cabeza contra el asfalto y perdiendo el conocimiento.
“Cuando desperté, no podía ver nada. Sentía que me moría”, relató. Una mujer que pasaba por ahí la asistió mientras Fia solo pensaba en su hijo: “¿Dónde está mi bebé?”. Kairo, que había visto todo, gritaba desesperado: “¿Mi mamá está muerta?”.

Heridas, miedo y una cuenta pendiente
La ambulancia llegó rápido, pero antes de trasladarlas al hospital, pidieron los pasaportes. Mischa-Leigh, que se había aferrado al cuatriciclo, solo sufrió un corte profundo en el brazo. Fia, en cambio, tenía el brazo derecho completamente inmovilizado, la cabeza sangrando y un dolor insoportable.
En el hospital, los médicos le diagnosticaron luxación de hombro, le dieron puntos en el pie y le realizaron 40 puntos de sutura en el cuero cabelludo y la frente. Todo esto, mientras Fia caía en la cuenta de un error clave: había olvidado contratar seguro de viaje.

“Siempre sacaba seguro, incluso con cobertura para cuatriciclos. Esta vez, se me pasó”, lamentó. El costo de la atención médica fue de 400 libras para ella y 15 puntos para su hermana, una suma que podría haber sido mucho mayor.
El impacto emocional en su hijo y la recuperación
A pesar del dolor, Fia decidió quedarse el resto de las vacaciones para que Kairo pudiera reemplazar el recuerdo del accidente por momentos más felices. Pero el pequeño no pudo superar el susto: “Me abrazaba todo el tiempo y me preguntaba si estaba bien”.

De regreso en Londres, Fia tuvo que mudarse con su madre durante tres meses porque no podía valerse por sí misma. Nuevos estudios revelaron que, además de la luxación, tenía el brazo fracturado y el hombro desalineado. Ahora espera fisioterapia y no descarta una cirugía.
Kairo, por su parte, sigue marcado por lo vivido. “No quiere volver a Turquía. Si le menciono visitar a Diane, me dice que ni loco”, contó Fia. “Todavía habla del accidente y temo que nunca olvide haberme visto así”. Fia Lane decidió compartir su historia para advertir a otros viajeros. (Foto: The Sun).
El consejo de Fia: “Nunca subestimen los riesgos”
Fia Lane decidió compartir su historia para advertir a otros viajeros: “Siempre revisen que tengan seguro de salud completo, sobre todo si van a hacer actividades de riesgo. Yo tuve suerte de que la cuenta no fuera más alta”.
Y dejó una última reflexión: “Jamás volvería a subirme a un cuatriciclo sin casco. Son máquinas pesadas y peligrosas. Pagué caro por un rato de diversión, pero podría haber sido mucho peor”.
