Bernie Rising: Is Sanders Becoming a 2028 Frontrunner?
Posted By: FlyRight, 7/9/2026 1:58:03 PM
The toughest thing to do right now in Democratic politics is to stop a socialist from becoming the presidential nominee. That's what veteran political reporter Mark Halperin declared on his podcast Tuesday before unveiling his 2028 Democratic presidential nominee rankings for July. After the primary victories by Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) candidates in New York and Colorado last month — and what was, to be generous, a fawning response from the Democratic establishment —

We reported on the scary scene that unfolded in midtown Manhattan Tuesday when support beams at the former Pfizer headquarters skyscraper buckled and the building sagged. Mass evacuations were ordered as authorities worried the whole thing could come down. The property is being converted into luxury residences. The situation has been stabilized for now, but there’s still the danger of a partial collapse, and portions of the building may need to be demolished. It turns out the developer of the building, MetroLoft, is also facing a massive lawsuit over defects in another property, one that’s home to the jet set in the Greenwich Village section of the Big Apple.

The Justice Department's top election enforcement official has sent a pointed warning to all 50 states that election administrators can be criminally prosecuted if they knowingly allow noncitizens to vote in the upcoming 2026 election.
Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon sent the letters Tuesday after the U.S. government conducted reviews that found tens of thousands of noncitizens have made it onto state voter rolls, and DOJ prosecuted a handful of foreigners who voted in federal elections illegally, including an Australian citizen earlier this week.
“Every person who votes illegally that cancels your or my vote is one too many for me,
The key question is not who sits in ministerial offices in the Gaza Strip. The key question is who holds the guns.
Nothing essential has changed.
Hamas is not dismantling its military wing. It is not surrendering its weapons. It is not disbanding its security apparatus. It is not ending its command structure. Thousands of Hamas employees and loyalists will also remain embedded in the Gaza Strip's institutions.
"Hamas's apparent willingness to make room for a technocratic government is designed to prevent its own disarmament.... [A]s long as Hamas retains its weapons, any civilian government will of course operate as Hamas dictates." — Israel's Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar,
Trump vows to hit Iran 'hard' tonight
5 replies
President Donald Trump on Wednesday said he planned to attack Iran on Wednesday evening, after he declared the ceasefire to be over and renewed attacks on the country earlier this week.
"I'll give them a little warning: we're going to hit them hard tonight," he said, during a NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey.
Trump also opined that he regarded the ceasefire as decidedly over after the latest exchange of live-fire. The war began in late February, but was in a state of nominal ceasefire for weeks amid negotiations. That "ceasefire" saw numerous exchanges of live-rounds by all parties to the conflict.
The United States Central Command said Tuesday night that it successfully struck over 80 targets with precision munitions after Tehran targeted three vessels in the Strait of Hormuz.
The U.S. said Iran's strikes were on commercial vessels that were transiting the strait, which were "crewed by innocent civilians in an international waterway." Reports indicate the ships were from Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.Central Command said the latest round of offensive strikes against Iran struck Iranian air defense systems, command and control networks, coastal radar sites, anti-ship missile capabilities and more than 60 Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps small boats.
The big Oil Companies are not dropping their price at the pump commensurate with the sharply lower prices they are paying for Oil. Those prices are dropping like a rock! In other words, customers are being ‘gouged.’ I have instructed the DOJ to immediately start looking into this. Gasoline prices better start going down a lot faster than what I’m seeing!”
That was President Donald Trump on June 24 in a post on Truth Social, stating he had ordered the Justice Department to investigate alleged price gouging at the gas pump, noting oil prices are falling faster than gasoline. The implication is there might be illegal price collusion.
SpaceX joins the Nasdaq-100 on Tuesday, 25 days after Elon Musk took the rocket company public.
For millions of Americans with passive funds inside a 401(k), the company that made Musk the first trillionaire in recorded history may soon land inside their retirement account too. SpaceX opened at $150 a share on its first day of trading, moved higher, pulled back, and closed Monday at $160.42. Nasdaq confirmed SpaceX would enter the Nasdaq-100 on July 7.
Funds that track the index will buy the stock. Many of those mutual funds and exchange-
Israel: Rule of Law in Crisis
5 replies
Well, it finally happened. The executive branch – Israel's government – has apparently had enough of the activist, self-selected Supreme Court endeavoring to micro-manage policy decisions that have nothing to do with it.
For the first time in Israel's nearly 80-year history, the government announced it would not abide by a Supreme Court ruling.
The reality... is that the Supreme Court is itself guilty of these allegations directed towards the government. The court has ignored existing law, for reasons of its own ideological persuasions, and has led the country to a constitutional crisis entirely of the court's own making.
Nigel Farage has been under extreme pressure from the U.K political apparatus surrounding a £5 million personal donation from a long-term friend Christopher Harborne to pay for a personal security protective detail.
Both the Labour and Conservative political parties in the U.K have been blistering Farage under investigations around this donation, and the subsequent investigations are being used as justifications in attempts to remove him from his position as leader of the Reform Party. Essentially, the British government -writ large- are using all of the mechanisms of government institutions trying to take him down.
To put a stop to the nonsense,
As we've been reporting, most Americans are all-in, celebrating and enjoying America 250. We recognize the great gift we have been given with this nation and the principles it espouses. But even as celebrations are ongoing, you see folks on the left going all-in to attack it because of their Trump hatred or their hatred of America in general. We saw the Mayor of New York City deliver an ugly speech, for example. That was taken down with pointed responses from people like Elon Musk and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. But if there was a real sign of how far the Democrats have gone off the leftist cliff,
In the roughly two weeks since the New York primary elections, conservatives—and other normies—have been understandably upset about the prospects of a socialist surge in American politics. Three candidates endorsed by New York City’s socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani won their congressional primaries easily, while Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)-aligned candidates around the state did quite well. In short, June 23 was a good day for socialists throughout the country, leaving many observers wondering if this will be a new date that lives in infamy, the date that marks the official start of the socialist-led collapse of the world’s quintessential capitalist, democratic republic.

French President Emmanuel Macron said his country was willing to engage in a “shooting war” with the U.S. earlier this year, according to a report.
The Wall Street Journal reported this week that Macron made the decision earlier this year after American forces carried out a precision strike in Venezuela that led to the arrest of former dictator Nicolas Maduro.
Graham Platner, the Democratic nominee for US Senate in Maine, is suspending his campaign following a sexual assault allegation.
Platner announced his decision in a video posted to social media on Wednesday evening.
The oyster farmer and marine veteran – whose populist platform packed town halls, raised millions early in the race and built enough momentum to force his primary challenger, Governor Janet Mills, to suspend her bid – has been dogged by controversy since entering the Senate contest last year.
Former Wisconsin Judge Hannah Dugan was spared from prison Wednesday for ushering a Mexican defendant through her jury room door as U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents sought to arrest him in a courthouse hallway.
U.S. District Judge Lynn Adelman fined her $5,000, describing the case as a situation where an otherwise good person, upset by immigration policies in this country, made a bad decision in the moment.

kindergartners sparks safety concerns, criticism 15 replies
Somali American and Muslim community members in Minnesota are raising concerns about safety and Islamophobia after President Donald Trump posted a video showing children at a St. Paul kindergarten graduation ceremony, including several young girls wearing hijabs.
The 14-second clip, originally taken from a livestream of a graduation ceremony at Gateway STEM Academy, a public charter school in St. Paul, appeared on Trump's Truth Social account without a caption. While the president did not add commentary, Somali Minnesotans and Muslim advocacy organizations say the repost amplified online narratives targeting Minnesota's Somali and Muslim communities and has left families concerned about the safety of children and schools.
A bitter battle is brewing along California’s Central Coast as an Indigenous tribe pushes to create a protected ocean zone that could sharply limit fishing — sparking fears among local fishermen that their livelihoods are on the line. The Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians has filed a proposal to create a new Marine Protected Area (MPA) stretching from Morro Rock to the local dog beach near Morro Bay. The proposal was among 20 Marine Protected Area petitions submitted to the California Fish and Game Commission. The original petition would have allowed some recreational fishing, but the tribe requested an amendment that would reserve fishing access only for Chumash members.
The official X for Christopher Nolan’s upcoming adaptation of The Odyssey has restricted comments on its posts as the film faces criticism over several casting decisions.

In a statement this morning, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear requests an official update on Sen. Mitch McConnell's health.
Gov. Beshear is sharing a direct request to Sen. McConnell amid growing concerns over the limited communication with the public about his health and his ability to serve. Sen. McConnell was reportedly hospitalized June 14. “Over the last several weeks, Kentuckians have grown increasingly concerned about the health and well-being of Sen. McConnell. As Governor – and a fellow public official who understands the commitment we’ve made to the people we serve – I am requesting the Senator provide an update on his current health status,” said Gov. Beshear. “Allowing speculation to continue

President Donald Trump vowing Wednesday to intensify air strikes against Iran – after the sides traded attacks the day before and him declaring the countries' roughly three-week ceasefire "over" – has the U.S. appearing to be returning to war footing.
"We're gonna hit 'em hard tonight," Trump said at the NATO summit in Ankara, Turkey, after conceding to reporters hours earlier about the ceasefire, "To me, I think it's over. I don't want to deal with them."
The return, as expected, has raised immediate concerns from economic – like will gas prices skyrocket again? – to military ones such as: Does the U.S. have enough air, sea and ground-
MAINE — According to an email from Maine Democratic Party Chairman Charlie Dingman that was obtained from a source by Maine's Total Coverage, an emergency meeting of the state Democratic State Committee is being held on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m. That meeting is being held virtually and is scheduled for 90 minutes. Platner, the Democratic nominee challenging Republican Sen. Susan Collins, has faced growing calls to drop out following sexual assault allegations, which he has denied. The controversy has prompted Democrats in Maine and nationally to urge him to withdraw so the party can move forward with another candidate. “While
California Democrats, supported by prominent left-wing leaders across the country, have proposed a ballot measure for a “one-time wealth tax” on the Golden State’s billionaires. California is already in the top ten states for per capita taxes, with a net domestic migration of about two million residents since 2016. More than 250 billionaires live there, who collectively possess more than $2 trillion. Democrats in favor of the tax see a $100 billion windfall to shore up medical spending. But skeptics see a good reason for billionaires to flee the Left Coast for more pro-business destinations.
If only Democrats in California were an outlier in fiscally disastrous ideas. But no.

A mom of three claimed she was thrown out of a UK supermarket after a male security guard said that her backless top could encourage someone to untie it.
Alixe Galatis, 31, said she was stopped while trying to shop at a Tesco store in Essex, southeast England, with her three children on June 26, when temperatures in the UK reached 99 degrees Fahrenheit amid the country’s heat wave.
The mom of three said she was told she couldn’t enter because of her backless top, which featured thin straps tied at the back,
