Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is leading Chuck Schumer by double digits in a new head-to-head poll of the 2028 New York primary. The survey by the liberal firm Data for Progress, first shared with POLITICO, found that 55 percent of Democratic likely voters said they supported or leaned toward supporting Rep. Ocasio-Cortez, while 36 percent backed or leaned toward backing Sen. Schumer. Nine percent were undecided. The poll is the latest sign that Schumer’s standing among the Democratic base has taken a hit since he voted to advance a GOP funding bill last month that avoided a government shutdown. The fact that

Great. Swapping Schumer, who is a snake, but a knowledgeable one, for AOC, an idiot, could be worth it.

What would the results be if a third candidate was added to the mix. Say, someone that leans more conservative.

I pray this is true. Schumer is a pure political animal who knows how to manipulate the system to his advantage. AOC only knows how to post on the internet and will only be a minor distraction.

If New Yawkers decide to swap Chuckie for AOC they could stand to lose a fair piece of political clout that Schumer holds after many years in the Senate. AOC would be starting at the bottom of a lot of senior senators ahead of her.

Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) shot up in a poll that asked about the 2028 Democratic presidential primary after his recent record-breaking Senate speech. Booker placed second in a hypothetical primary behind former Vice President Kamala Harris in an Echelon Insights poll released this week, drawing support from 11 percent of respondents. In the same poll last month, Booker drew 2 percent support among party respondents — putting him in line with roughly a dozen other Democratic figures with low single-digit support. Booker, who is serving in his second term, set a record for the longest Senate speech in history in early

Los Angeles has long been the “Entertainment Capital of the World” as the film and television stars congregate to the area to film the next big thing — but a new study shows that the region’s claim to that title could be in jeopardy. According to nonprofit FilmLA, which helps production companies book filming spaces and obtain permits, the occupancy rate of soundstages across the L.A. area was at 63% in 2024 — a dramatic drop off from 90% in 2022 and the mid 90s from pre-pandemic times. The 63% rate also represents a 6% drop from 2023, marking a

Former CNN political analyst Chris Cillizza said Friday that Democratic Texas Rep. Jasmine Crockett would be a disastrous presidential nominee for her party due to her far-left policies and tone. Crockett, a member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, has risen to prominence with her incendiary anti-Republican rhetoric, including calling wheelchair-bound Texas Gov. Greg Abbott “Governor Hot Wheels.” Cillizza, during a YouTube livestream, said Crockett appeals primarily to activist Democrats but would struggle in a general election — likening her to Democratic New York Rep.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is known for steering clear of the traditional, somber attire expected in Washington, DC, playing the suit game by his own rules. But he's also got a second kind of unconventional look — operator casual. It's a different vibe from the conspicuously bright blue suit he wore at the recent NATO summit, drawing criticism, but it shares some similarities to some of his other preferred flair, like flag-linings in his suits, patriotic socks, and a star-spangled pocket square. The style gained momentum during the Global War on Terrorism, or GWOT, though earlier versions date back to

Billionaire Tesla CEO Elon Musk has drawn the ire of Democrats due to his role in the Trump administration‘s efforts to cut waste in the federal government, with some New York lawmakers targeting his company with a new piece of legislation. Tesla has been the target of protests and attacks from Democrats in recent months as their opposition to Musk has intensified. In the New York legislature, Democratic state Sen.

Now, people who disagree with Musk’s role in politics are hoping to channel their emotions into something peaceful: a day of mass nonviolent protests at Tesla locations nationwide. More than 200 protests are scheduled to take place Saturday during what organizers are calling a global day of action, part of a campaign called “Tesla Takedown.” The organizers are hoping to damage Musk’s political standing by hurting the sales and stock price of the electric-car maker, the foundation of

Washington— Former President Joe Biden returns to the national stage Tuesday to elevate liberal concerns that President Donald Trump’s agenda is threatening the health of Social Security. The 82-year-old Democrat has largely avoided speaking publicly since leaving the White House in January. That’s even as Trump frequently blames Biden for many of the nation’s problems, often attacking his predecessor by name. Biden is expected to fight back in an early evening speech to the national conference of Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled in Chicago. While Biden has made a handful of public appearances in recent weeks, Tuesday’s high-profile address focuses on a critical issue for tens of millions of Americans

A judge in Collin County slashed the 17-year-old Karmelo Anthony’s initial $1 million bond and said he may await trial at home with an ankle monitor and 24-hour supervision from his parents or an “adult designee.” Anthony has been locked in Collin County Jail for allegedly stabbing Austin Metcalf, also 17, in the heart during a fight over a seat at a track meet on April 2.
