The Democratic socialists are no longer on the fringe

Kamala Harris coordinating with Zohran Mamdani in restructuring the left: Report
Melat Kiros, a 29-year-old democratic socialist, achieved a significant primary victory in Colorado, unseating a 29-year congressional incumbent, Diana DeGette. Her win is highlighted as part of a spreading trend of far-left candidates succeeding in primaries, a dynamic that could profoundly reshape the Democratic Party’s platform and direction.

No one will struggle to keep warm amid an historic heat wave gripping the eastern U.S.
But how about keeping «your comrade warm?»
No. You’re not back in the USSR.
But you might be in the Democratic party.
SOCIALISTS SWEEP NYC AS AMERICANS BALK AT MOVEMENT’S BRUTAL CATCH: ‘TALK TO IMMIGRANTS’

«You deserve to make sure that your international comrades are actually working with you and getting the benefits that you that you all deserve,» said Democratic New York House nominee Darializa Avila Chevalier at a union rally in New York City.
«Half of the people here are strangers to you all. But now you have comrades,» said Colorado Democratic Congressional nominee Melat Kiros who defeated Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) Tuesday.
«I’ve got to give a shout out to my comrades,» said Missouri Democratic Congressional candidate Hartzell Gray on a podcast interview.
To Democratic Socialists, you don’t know how lucky you are.
«You have the solidarity of the entire labor movement. And you have my solidarity, too,» said Democratic New York House nominee Claire Valdez.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) didn’t endorse either Avila Chevalier nor Valdez. However, he did congratulate them. Jeffries naturally needs Avila Chavalier, Valdez and Democratic New York House nominee Brad Lander to win. They probably will this fall. But when asked about progressives who prevailed in the New York primary – who he didn’t endorse – Jeffries delivered a nuanced answer.
«I will support every single Democratic incumbent in the New York Congressional delegation and beyond,» said Jeffries.
CNN resuscitated a set of old tweets from Avila Chevalier. Some praised communism. Others called for more Marxist literature in libraries. Yours truly pressed Jeffries about whether he should call out Avila Chevalier for some of her old social media postings.
«Should she apologize or clarify some of these very inflammatory tweets that she sent?» I queried.
«That’s a question you’re going to have to ask her,» answered Jeffries.
«But as Leader, is that a problem?» I followed up.
«I’ve spoken to this issue. I’ve expressed my position as it relates to many of the things that she has said in the past over Twitter. my statement speaks for itself,» answered Jeffries.
Then the 29-year-old Melat Kiros whipped 29-year House veteran Diana DeGette in Colorado. Kiros’s victory demonstrated that the Democratic Socialist message didn’t just resonate in the urban canyons of lower Manhattan. But in the Rocky Mountains, too.
«What we are fighting for is Medicare for all. Universal child care. Abolishing ICE. And ending the genocide in Gaza,» said Kiros.
These are core subjects for the left.
«They’re winning on platforms like Medicare for all. Universal health care. Universal childcare. Raising the minimum wage,» said Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA). «These ideas, whether you call it socialism or not, they are very popular across the country.»
Progressive influencer Hasan Piker believes victories by these candidates in New York and Colorado are just the beginning.
«Progressive politics, left populism. It can work in every district in every state. That’s why I kept saying over and over again, it’s coming to a city near you,» said Piker.
But not everyone is on board.
«Will Democrats continue to defend crazypants?» asked Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) on Fox.
Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) is another. He’s a moderate, pro-Israel Democrat in a battleground district in which President Trump carried in 2024.

«My folks want really normal folks. Democrats, Republicans, just people who are going to get things done. And so they see this because this is what gets attention,» said Landsman. «I hope the party doesn’t go in that direction. Having a diversity of opinions is one thing. But some of what some of them think is beyond the pale. It’s just outrageous.»
Landsman wished Democratic leaders would speak out against controversial candidates and nominees.
«The fact that they won’t even call it out, I think is an underlying current within the Democrat Party that they’re scared of their own base,» said Rep. Russell Fry (R-SC).
Rep. Nydia Velazquez (D-NY) is retiring after 32 years in Congress. She’s not aligned with her likely successor, Claire Valdez.
«So what do you make of some of the controversy about your prospective successor? And is that driving a wedge through the party?» yours truly asked Velazquez.
«Look, we are celebrating the outcome of this Supreme Court decision that reaffirm the fundamental principle of the Constitution that anyone born in this country is an American citizen,» answered Velazquez, trying to change the subject.
«But do you have but did you not see things eye to eye with your prospective successor here?» I followed up.
Velazquez sighed.
«Look, she won and I wish her well. And I offered myself to sit down with her and discuss the transition. But this is how democracy works,» said Velazquez.
Still, other Democrats believe the party can operate under a «big tent» and court voters.
«There’s room for conversations about where we go. But we’re not the party of one person or coalition and there’s going to be those discussions about where we move forward,» said Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL).
Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) asserted that wins by Democratic Socialists in New York City carried outsized weight. She also said that it was natural for the press corps to capitalize on possible divisions in the party.
«I think that you all try to stir it up. Stir up this language. Try to pit people against each other,» said Dingell.
I asked Dingell about «controversial things» which Avila Chevalier peddled over the years.
«I don’t have to agree with everything that she said. The Republicans are putting kerosene on the fire,» said Dingell.
«Didn’t she pour kerosene on it to start with?» I asked.
«Look, I wouldn’t have said some of the things that she said. But I don’t vote in New York. They do,» answered Dingell.

Republicans are adamantly opposed to socialism. But in a weird way, the Democratic lurch left might actually help the GOP beat the historic odds and hold the House.
«They’re a complete socialist party now,» said Rep. Ralph Norman (R-SC). «They’ve got to either own it or disassociate themselves from it.»

When the Beatles released Back In the USSR, American conservatives and right-wing reactionaries said this proved that the group harbored communist sentiments.
Now the American right says the Democratic party has turned to the left. Republicans say listen to the rhetoric of Democratic Socialists espousing their views. And to hear the GOP tell it, those candidates may as well be back in the USSR.

Guerra en Medio Oriente EN VIVO | El petróleo Brent se acerca a los 100 dólares tras un repunte del 5% por los ataques de los hutíes en el Mar Rojo

Alcanzó los 98,80 dólares por barril, mientras que el principal contrato estadounidense, el West Texas Intermediate, subió un 3,8% hasta los 90,11 dólares por barril
El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, aseguró que Irán aún no está listo para alcanzar un acuerdo nuclear tras dar por “terminado” el Memorando de Entendimiento de Islamabad, ya que, según afirmó, el régimen de Teherán modifica constantemente sus condiciones a medida que avanzan las negociaciones. “Están siendo golpeados con mucha dureza y quieren llegar a un acuerdo”, aseguró.
En paralelo, las fuerzas estadounidenses completaron este jueves su duodécimo bombardeo contra Irán, con ataques contra instalaciones marítimas, depósitos de misiles y drones, puestos de vigilancia costera y sistemas de defensa aérea. Además, reafirmaron que “Irán no controla el estrecho de Ormuz”.
Desde Teherán, el Cuerpo de la Guardia Revolucionaria Islámica (CGRI) reivindicó nuevos ataques contra objetivos militares estadounidenses en Kuwait, incluido un bombardeo contra instalaciones de Estados Unidos y dos hangares de helicópteros en el cuartel de Al-Adiri.
En ese contexto, el régimen de Irán elevó el tono de sus advertencias contra Estados Unidos y amenazó con extender las represalias a los países que colaboren con Washington. El ministro de Asuntos Exteriores, Abbas Araghchi, afirmó: “Nuestra doctrina de defensa es clara: ojo por ojo”.
A continuación, la cobertura minuto a minuto:

Rubio aseguró que Arabia Saudita busca un “programa nuclear civil y pacífico”
El secretario estadounidense de Estado, Marco Rubio, afirmó que el acuerdo histórico de cooperación nuclear alcanzado con Arabia Saudita solo dará lugar a un programa atómico “pacífico y civil”.
“Cualquier acuerdo que vayamos a celebrar con cualquier país del mundo sobre energía nuclear civil contará con salvaguardias para garantizar que no pueda convertirse en un programa de armas”, zanjó Rubio al margen de una cumbre con cancilleres del sudeste asiático en Manila. “Arabia Saudita busca tener un programa nuclear pacífico y civil”, dijo a periodistas.
Suenan las sirenas de alerta aérea en Bahréin
Las sirenas sonaron en Bahréin este jueves, según informó el Ministerio del Interior. Corresponsales de la agencia de noticias AFP escucharon las alertas en la capital, Manama, mientras el país sufre ataques diarios por parte de Irán.
“Se ha activado la sirena… Se insta a los ciudadanos y residentes a mantener la calma y dirigirse al lugar seguro más cercano”, indicó el ministerio en un comunicado.
El Ejército jordano interceptó misiles y drones iraníes
Jordania afirmó haber interceptado misiles y drones procedentes de Irán, mientras Teherán respondía a los ataques aéreos estadounidenses atacando a los aliados de Washington en la región.
El Ejército jordano informó en un comunicado que interceptó tres misiles este jueves por la mañana, mientras que un cuarto cayó en una zona deshabitada, y que interceptó seis drones el miércoles por la noche, sin que se produjeran bajas ni daños materiales.
Rubio afirmó que el objetivo de Estados Unidos en la guerra es un Irán desnuclearizado
El secretario de Estado de Estados Unidos, Marco Rubio, afirmó el jueves que la prioridad de la administración Trump respecto a Irán es impedir que el país adquiera armas nucleares, descartando que el objetivo seag un cambio de régimen. Rubio aseguró que “Estados Unidos busca un Irán desnuclearizado que nunca tenga armas nucleares” durante una cumbre de la ASEAN en Manila.
El funcionario subrayó: “Nuestro problema, nuestra preocupación y nuestro objetivo principal es la desnuclearización de Irán. Jamás podrán tener armas nucleares”. Consultado sobre si Washington aceptaría la permanencia de los actuales líderes iraníes en el poder, Rubio reiteró: “No pueden tener un arma nuclear”.
El jefe de la diplomacia estadounidense rechazó las interpretaciones de que el presidente Donald Trump persiga un cambio de régimen en Irán. “Nunca dijo que el cambio de régimen fuera un objetivo”, afirmó. “Desde el primer día de la operación, quedó muy claro que íbamos a debilitar sus lanzadores de misiles, sus drones, sus fábricas y su armada”, concluyó.
El presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, destacó la posibilidad de que las fuerzas estadounidenses bombardeen el sitio nuclear iraní en construcción conocido como Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La o “montaña Pickaxe”, en el marco de la escalada de ataques entre Washington y Teherán por el control del estrecho de Ormuz, entre otros ejes.
El Comando Central de Estados Unidos (CENTCOM) informó que más de 900 barcos comerciales transitaron el estrecho de Ormuz desde mayo con apoyo militar estadounidense, a pesar de la presión de las fuerzas iraníes cerca de la vía marítima estratégica en Medio Oriente.
La Guardia Revolucionaria de Irán afirmó que destruyó un equipo militar estadounidense en Jordania

Según el comunicado oficial, los objetivos incluyeron depósitos de municiones y logística en Camp Doha, tanques de almacenamiento de combustible en la base aérea Ali Al Salem y un depósito de municiones en Camp Arifjan.
Las autoridades militares iraníes señalaron que estas acciones se ejecutaron “en respuesta a la continua arrogancia y agresión del enemigo (en alusión a Estados Unidos) contra nuestro país”.
Los precios internacionales del petróleo alcanzaron este jueves su nivel más alto en más de seis semanas después de una nueva escalada militar en Medio Oriente, marcada por una nueva ronda de ataques de Estados Unidos contra Irán, la ofensiva de los hutíes contra petroleros en el Mar Rojo y las amenazas sobre dos de las principales rutas marítimas para el transporte mundial de crudo.

AOC roasted over defense bill claim as GOP lawmaker tells her to ‘stop stoking Jew hatred’

Democrats divided over House vote on Israel aid as U.S.-Middle East tensions rise
‘Special Report’ anchor Bret Baier discusses the intensifying political divide within the Democratic Party regarding a House bill to cut off aid to Israel. Rep. Thomas Massie’s, R-Ky., amendment has sparked significant debate, with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries warning it could undermine U.S. national security by empowering Hamas and Hezbollah.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., came under fire after claiming the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) would «merge parts of our military with the Israel Defense Forces,» drawing accusations that she distorted what the legislation actually does.
The fight centers on Section 219 of the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act, a provision that calls for deeper U.S.-Israel defense integration through expanded cooperation on military technology, supply chains, research, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and joint exercises.
On Wednesday, the House passed its version of the FY2027 National Defense Authorization Act in a 219-206 vote, leaving Section 219 intact.
But ahead of the vote, Ocasio-Cortez wrote on X that the NDAA «includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF.»

«This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy,» she wrote. «Every member of Congress must vote NO.»
Ocasio-Cortez’s post quickly drew criticism from Republican lawmakers and Trump administration officials, who argued the measure strengthens defense cooperation with Israel but does not merge the two militaries.
Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin called the claim «FALSE,» accusing the congresswoman of misrepresenting the bill.

«Instead of merging the part of your brain that hates Jews with the part of your brain concocting your daily lies, you should try merging the part of your brain responsible for reading bill text with the part of your brain responsible for critical thinking,» Zeldin wrote on X.
Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., similarly blasted Ocasio-Cortez, calling her to «stop stoking Jew hatred.»
«Good grief, you are either obtuse or intentionally lying. We are not merging our military with the IDF,» Lawler wrote.
Lawler argued the provision simply expands the type of defense cooperation the United States already maintains with close allies, including intelligence sharing, joint military exercises, and collaborative weapons development.
While Republicans disputed Ocasio-Cortez’s description, some lawmakers who opposed the provision also expressed concern about its scope but framed it differently.
Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., introduced an amendment to strip Section 219 from the legislation, but House leadership did not allow it to receive a vote. After the procedural rule passed, Massie announced he would oppose the entire defense bill.

«Unfortunately the Rule passed just now and no debate or vote was allowed on section 219, integration of US military technology and supply chains with Israel’s,» Massie wrote on X. «The NDAA will receive a recorded vote tomorrow with section 219 in it. I’ll vote no.»

Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., who partnered with Massie on the amendment, also criticized House leadership for blocking a vote, writing that Congress had prevented consideration of a proposal to stop «the integration of our military with Israel’s.»
