Democratic Socialists Are Winning Big. Now They Want Action

The Democratic Socialists of America, after a string of election victories in New York, is eager to tax the rich and enact anti-Israel policies.

July 26, 2026Updated 9:41 a.m.1/3

On a sticky evening in July, leaders of the surging democratic socialist movement in New York City jumped onto Zoom to begin crafting the next phase of their campaign.

Democratic socialist candidates had just toppled five incumbents, capturing two House primaries in the city and a handful more in state legislative races. But with an off-cycle election year ahead, leaders in the city’s chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America were shifting their focus from winning votes to changing policy.

The group’s next order of business, its members agreed in the nearly hourlong Zoom, is topressure Gov. Kathy Hochul, a centrist Democrat, to raise income taxes on the wealthiest New Yorkerswhen the state Legislature convenes in Albany in January.

The group had failed to persuade Ms. Hochul to do so earlier this year,settling instead for a much more limited tax on multimillion-dollar second homes in New York City. But with its influence on the rise, the group believes that a broader tax-the-rich campaign may succeed next year, despite Ms. Hochul’s continued resistance.

“We brought the fight to Hochul to tax the rich last session when we had only nine socialists in the State Legislature,” Gustavo Gordillo, the co-leader of New York City’s D.S.A. chapter, said in an interview. “This cycle, our forces will be almost doubled, and there’s a whole new crew of progressive legislators who are going to demand what New Yorkers want, which is for Hochul to tax the rich.”

Since Zohran Mamdani’s mayoral primary win last year, the New York City D.S.A. chapter, active since the 1980s, said it has added more than 7,000 members. Its current membership of roughly 15,000 is spread across the city, often concentrated in gentrified pockets of Brooklyn and Queens (the so-called Commie Corridor), along with Upper Manhattan.

As the organization matures, it is confronting how to chart its path forward. Some members are laser-focused on drafting their most prominent political ally — Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez — to run for president in 2028, sometimes putting them at odds with their national brethren. Others are pushing for a more expansive policy agenda, including a renewed focus on public safety, condemning Israel’s military actions through legislation and considering a public takeover of its largest utility company.

The city’s D.S.A. arm has 14 working groups focused on policy goals, but it has so far trained its focus on selecting political candidates and winning elections. Knocking on doors and building energy for elections have tended to be more central to the organization than in-the-weeds policy analysis.

“The organization feels that the sky’s the limit in New York City,” said Asad Dandia, the Brooklyn borough historian and a D.S.A. member. “There’s an understanding that D.S.A. has emerged as one of the major political players in New York City, and arguably the most powerful political organization in the five boroughs.”

Members of the D.S.A. will be making a renewed push to pass the “Not on Our Dime” bill, which would strip New York nonprofits of their tax-exempt status if their funds are used to support Israeli settlement activity. They are also trying to persuade lawmakers to introduce a bill that would penalize airlines that facilitate arms shipments to Israel from Kennedy International Airport. The chapter has also talked about increasing its focus on climate and energy — issues that can be difficult to mobilize voters around, though they have felt more urgent in a summer of heat waves and wildfires.

D.S.A. is part of a coalition of advocacy groups that is pushing for the state to build enough public renewable energy to power 12 million households. Far more ambitiously, members of the coalition have discussed pushing either the state or city to step in and take over Con Edison, with the aim of lowering utility bills and making the case that the public sector ought to run the grid, not the private sector. Such a plan would face major logistical and financial hurdles and is unlikely to get Ms. Hochul’s support.

During their recent planning meeting, leaders spoke at length about how to use the governor’s promises to expand free and low-cost child care statewide as a way to pressure the governor to raise taxes on the wealthy.

“She’s already committed to a major child care program, which is unfunded at this point,” Mr. Gordillo said in the interview. “It would be a huge embarrassment for her not to raise taxes on the rich in order to fund the program she helped to start.”

Ms. Hochul, for her part, has found opportunities to partner with Mr. Mamdani on initiatives big and small, from child care to the World Cup to the so-called pied-à-terre tax. But as she faces re-election in November, she has also embraced the role of playing the moderate foil to Mr. Mamdani and his progressive base, knowing that the city relies on Albany to fund the new administration’s expansive agenda.

“Governor Hochul has been focused on lowering costs for New Yorkers and making it easier for both businesses and residents to stay in our state,” her spokesman, Anthony Hogrebe, said. “She does not believe in raising taxes for the sake of raising taxes, and has only considered new revenue raisers when absolutely needed to solve real problems. The governor makes decisions based on what’s best for New Yorkers, and no amount of political pressure can change that.”

In the early months of his administration, Mr. Mamdani has sought to strike a conciliatory tone with the governor. He endorsed her re-election in early February, which infuriated some democratic socialists. When progressive groups in New York staged a major “Tax the Rich” rally in Albany, busing hundreds of people from the city, Mr. Mamdani privately told organizers that he planned to skip the event.

Democratic socialists have tended to give the mayor a pass. But now, in private conversations, some are analyzing whether the mayor can play a more active role in pushing their priorities, given that he is more firmly established inside City Hall.

Many members of Mr. Mamdani’s progressive base remain opposed to his police commissioner, Jessica Tisch. While her appointment spurred frustrated messages in chapter group chats, D.S.A. members have done little to push Mr. Mamdani to drop her. Recent primaries demonstrated that democratic socialists in New York City are frustrated by economic inequality, Israel and President Trump’s immigration enforcement tactics — but its leaders have been a lot more muted around public safety reforms.

Mr. Mamdani has prioritized improving his affordability agenda and condemning Israel’s military actions, while keeping the issue of police reform at a distance. The D.S.A. recently pressured him, successfully, to scrap his plans to hire another 580 police officers and is pushing him to expand the new Office of Community Safety, which would divert certain 911 calls from police officers to clinicians.

Mr. Mamdani had promised to create a larger Department of Community Safety that would have a $1.1 billion budget, but so far the endeavor is far more modest — a mayoral office with a $270 million budget, most of which is money diverted from existing programs. The operation tasked with handling the 911 calls — the heart of the whole project — is getting a mere $35 million.

Tiffany Cabán, a city councilwoman and member of the D.S.A. who describes herself as a “hard-core abolitionist,” said she wanted the mayor to push the Police Department to cease its increased focus on enforcement of low-level crimes and build out the Office of Community Safety. But she acknowledged that drawing in voters with an anti-policing agenda remains a challenge.

“We’ve seen a lot of movement around Palestinian liberation, on antiwar organizing; we’ve seen a lot of movement around tax the rich,” Ms. Cabán said. “But policing is just hard.”

As the influence of the D.S.A. grows, so, too, does the volume of its critics. One persistent area of concern is how the organization addresses racial inequality, a matter that was highlighted this week when a Black Democratic leader, Donovan Richards, invoked an accusation of “white supremacy” on X. The comment, directed at the D.S.A. in response to discourse around a New York Times story on the group, was plastered on the cover of the right-leaning New York Post and was being circulated by critics of the organization.

The Rev. Al Sharpton, the veteran civil rights leader, argued that the D.S.A. should fine-tune its focus on affordability by addressing racial disparities, rather than treating all types of financial struggle the same. Mr. Sharpton applauded the group’s recent string of victories and said they “raise expectations” for the organization.

“There is a race gap in affordability. They’ve got to deal with more than class, and also deal with race,” Mr. Sharpton said. “If they do not, then they run the risk of having some people in the Black community come back at them, saying you’re ignoring race.”

A poll of 719 likely New York State voters, conducted in May by the firm Data for Progress, found the D.S.A. is unpopular with 42 percent of those who responded, and popular with 30 percent.

Jay Jacobs, chairman of the state Democratic Party, said he appreciated the D.S.A.’s commitment to affordability, but he questioned some of the group’s tactics and policy goals. He argued that their focus on taking down centrist Democrats wasn’t helping in the broader effort to flip Republican-held seats and win back Congress.

“Too often they look at moderate Democrats as the greater enemy than Republicans,” Mr. Jacobs said. “They don’t appeal to people in the middle. Most Americans are moderates.”

SHOCKING: 75,000 Noncitizens Summoned for Jury Duty in New Jersey Every Year as State’s Voter-Roll Scandal Explodes

by Jim Hᴏft Jul. 26, 2026 9:001/2

Approximately 75,000 noncitizens are summoned for jury duty in the Garden State every year, according to newly disclosed figures from the New Jersey judiciary.

The revelation comes as state officials are already scrambling to explain how thousands of self-identified noncitizens were improperly added to New Jersey’s voter rolls and how hundreds reportedly cast ballots.

You cannot make this up.

The New Jersey Globe reported that New Jersey processes more than one million jury summonses annually using records randomly selected from three state agencies: the Division of Elections, the Division of Taxation, and the Motor Vehicle Commission.

Pete McAleer, a spokesman for the New Jersey Administrative Office of the Courts, said roughly 20% of respondents report that they fail to meet at least one statutory eligibility requirement.

Approximately one-quarter of those disqualifications,an average of roughly 75,000 people annually over the past three years, were because the recipient was not a United States citizen.

Under New Jersey law, only American citizens are eligible to serve on juries.

The judiciary insists safeguards are in place to stop noncitizens from actually serving.

“Prospective jurors are asked about their citizenship and other qualifications when they complete the mandatory juror qualification questionnaire,” McAleer told the New Jersey Globe.

“Those who advance are reminded of the eligibility requirements during jury orientation and are directly questioned about their citizenship during jury selection by the judge and, as permitted, the attorneys,” he added.

Officials say there is no evidence that noncitizens have served on juries since the additional safeguards were implemented.

But that does not explain why approximately 75,000 noncitizens are being swept into the jury-summons process every year.

It also raises serious questions about the reliability of government databases used to administer elections and jury selection.

The Department of Homeland Security amplified the report Saturday, writing:

75,000 NONCITIZENS are called for jury duty in New Jersey EVERY YEAR. It’s clearNew Jersey’s government databases are unreliable in ensuring only Americans are participating in our civic institutions.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Democrat Governor Mikie Sherrill recently admitted that a “serious software error” in the state’s motor-vehicle system resulted in approximately 6,600 people who explicitly indicated they were not American citizens being registered to vote between June 2023 and June 2024.

According to Sherrill, fewer than 400 of those improperly registered individuals subsequently voted.

The Justice Department has since opened an investigation into the scandal.

Sherrill attempted to blame IDEMIA, the software contractorthat transmits voter-registration information collected by the Motor Vehicle Commission.

ButIDEMIA fired back, explaining that it merely transmitted the applications and that New Jersey’s own Division of Elections was responsible for reviewing the information and determining voter eligibility.

“Information submitted by IDEMIA must still be validated and adjudicated by the Division of Elections,” the company said, as The Gateway Pundit reported.

The jury duty numbers explode the scope of the same underlying failure. The same polluted government databases that dumped noncitizens onto the voter rolls are feeding the jury pools.

Voting has no equivalent real-time citizenship verification. Automatic voter registration throughthe Motor Vehicle Commission simply trusts the system, a system that has repeatedly proven it cannot distinguish a citizen from a noncitizen.

Micah Rasmussen of Rider University’s Rebovich Institute told The New Jersey Globe, the fact that jury selection is now demonstrably contaminated “widens the scope of the problem and heightens the need to act quickly and thoroughly to resolve it.”

This should hold up the 2026 midterms because other Democrat States are probably doing similar things.

‘Really inappropriate’: teachers decry plan for humanoid robot in New York high school

Robot from company that acquired sex doll maker to be introduced in schoolwith large Native American population1/2

Michael Sainato

A humanoid robot is being introduced as part of a pilot program, along with an AI teaching assistant, at Salamanca high school in Salamanca, New York, located on the Allegany territory of the Seneca nation.

Teachers have criticized the program, deeming it “inappropriate” and claimingit dehumanizes the profession with the introduction of human-like robots. Some local Native American residents have also criticized the pilot program,citing its implementation as “culturally tone deaf”.

The robot, named Sally, waspurchased by the Cattaraugus county school district – which includes Salamanca high school – for $57,590. According to a presentationon the program, Sally will be a closed-loop system, but available virtually to students 24/7 for those with access, and offerspersonalized learning options.

The district will be the first in the US to deploy a humanoid robot and AI teaching assistant, according to a press release by Realbotix.

“The Salamanca pilotalso includes deployment of a Realbotix M-Series humanoid robot, which uses natural conversation,facial expressions and real-time interaction to create engaging, hands-on learning experiences,” the press release states.

Realbotix, formerly Tokens.com, a Toronto-based company, purchased Simulacra, aLas Vegas-based company known for realistic sex dolls, for $16.7m in April 2024, marking a pivot for the company from crypto to humanoid robots.

Realbotix has denied ties to the sex doll company, and denied any inferences that the dolls – manufactured by Abyss Creations, a subsidiary of Realbotix – are related to the pilot program.

“The Salamanca teachers’ union as a whole is concerned about the background of the company of Realbotix. We’re very concerned about thesecurity of the softwarethat they’re implementing, and whether or not the data will be stored, how it will be gathered, are the recording capabilities,” said Lacey Pihlblad, president of Salamanca Teachers’ Association and a teacher at the high school.

“We would like to see the school district pause implementing the robot, pause implementing the software aspect of this AI technology until we can have more individuals weigh in.”

She said New York state is currently shifting away from too much technology in the classroom.

“There’s a growing consensus that indicates our students should be exposed to less technology. Placing a humanoid robot into the classroom to interact with our children, I believe,is a massive step in the wrong direction, and I believe that the majority of our teachers feel the same.” she added. “If we’re going to do something of this magnitude, I feel we need to make sure that we do it the correct way, and I’m not sure that that’s currently what’s in place.”

Pihlblad said the union was completing negotiations for a new union contract and intend to include protections around artificial intelligence.

Melinda Person, president of the New York State United Teachers, the parent union of the Salamanca Teachers’ Association, which represents teachers at the high school, told the Guardian thatteachers across the state are concerned about the robot program.

“Our members in Salamanca and educators across the state are sounding the alarm that this is really inappropriate,” said Person.“I would say our initial reaction is this is kind of creepy.”

Person said itwas “way out of the realm of what we should be doing in our schools”.

“The answer to thechallenges in education is not more screens, it’s not more algorithms, not more robots.

What weneed in our schools right now are more caring adults and more human connection,” she said.

She said teachers were not anti-technology,but rather pro-child, and take positions based on whether something is beneficial for students.

“Putting a lifeless machine in front of students is a bad idea,” she said. “I would saya machine that the intention of it is to simulate a human relationship with young people who are just learning those skills of how to interact, how to be with their peers, how to solve conflicts, and putting a robot that looks like a human thatwill lead to the dehumanization of the profession of education, is exactly the wrong thing for us to be doing.”

Local residents have also criticized the selection of a high school with a significant Native American populationto serve as the testing ground for humanoid robots in the classroom. Nearly 40% of the high school’s student body are Native Americans.

The Seneca nation declined to comment to the Guardian.

“Out of all the schools in New York state, let alone in the US, they chose to experiment on Native American children yet again,” said Sierra May Abrams, a substitute teacher at Salamanca high school and local resident. “Our culture is struggling to stay alive due to the impact of the Native American boarding schoolsand what they did to our elders. We live on the only reservation located in a city so it’s just absolutely insane that we’re the ones ‘testing it out’.”

Alyson Brown, a community health specialist and local resident and Seneca nation member who graduated from Salamanca,said several students have connections to the traumas of Native American boarding schools.

“Many students have connections to relatives who attended the Thomas Indian school located on our Cattaraugus territory. Many native families are viewing this pilot program as history repeating itself,” said Brown. “I see nothing positive to come from this being introduced in the classroom setting. I worry for the cognitive development of young minds in this exposure.”

A spokesperson for Realbotix did not comment on criticisms from teachers and Native American residents or the call for a pause from the Salamanca Teachers’ Association.

“Realbotix and Salamanca city central school district announced a limited pilot for fall 2026 involving Optio, an AI-powered educational assistant, and one new Realbotix M-Series humanoid unit,” the spokesperson said by email.

“The program is intended to complement, not replace, teachersby giving students supervised access to emerging AI and robotics tools as part of the district’s existing Stem [science, technology, engineering and mathematics] curriculum. The partnership also gives educators an opportunity to evaluate these technologies in a controlled classroom environment under district oversight.”

The Salamanca city central school district and superintendent Mark Beehler did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

The assistant commissioner of public affairs for the New York state department of education, JP O’Hare, said the agency had been in contact with the school district regarding its purchase of a robot“and has raised serious concerns about student privacy, appropriate safeguards, and the risk that the robot could be used to perform functions that should remain the responsibility of trained, qualified professionals.

“Technology can and should support educators and students, but it should not replace the human judgment or accountability essential to a safe and effective learning environment.”

Leftists Seethe as Ella Langley’s Chart-Topping Country Song Makes History

By Michael Schwarz, The Western Journal Jul. 25, 2026

Country music superstar Ella Langley suddenly finds herself in the company of legends.

But through no fault of her own, this development has apparently triggered the world’s most miserable people: Online liberals.

Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” held onto the No. 1 spot on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 for the 14th-consecutive week, tying a record previously shared by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey for non-holiday music andsending online liberals into fits of apoplexy. Langley, see, is apparently suspected of harboring conservative views.

On Instagram, the 27-year-old Langley called her achievement “insane,” according to Fox News. [grafs 2-3]

But it’s the leftist reaction that’s truly crazy.

For one thing,her chart-topping juggernaut of a song sounds … well … like a typical country song.

Of course, Langley’s husky vocals bring something special to it. But this is not like Oliver Anthony’s “Rich Men North of Richmond” or Jason Aldean’s “Try That in a Small Town” — 2023 hits that had political and economic messages.

“Choosin’ Texas” has no political overtones at all.

Instead, Langley — an Alabama native — sings in the voice of a woman from Tennessee who realizes that her man’s heart lies with a Texas woman. Readers may watch the song’s video below.

Despite its conventional theme, that song, beautifully sung, has made history. For comparison’s sake, Taylor Swift’s “I Knew It, I Knew You” sits in second place on this week’s Hot 100 Chart.

Who sits in third place? You guessed it: Langley with “Be Her.” And incredibly, the country music superstar’s “I Can’t Love You Anymore,” a duet with Morgan Wallen, is at No. 7 this week.

So it’s Langley’s overall work, as opposed to the unique popularity of one song or another, that appears to be driving her success. But why? One user on the social media platform X has a theory.

“The visceral reaction from the Left over Ella Langley is not complicated. They hate Whites, they hate beauty, they hate anything wholesome, and they especially hate America because it is all of those things. Langley represents something they thought they killed,” the user wrote.

Older men, to be clear, probably have no business writing about contemporary music. After all, I confess that until today I had never heard of Langley.

The exercise, however, has not been in vain, for anything that irritates liberals is, by definition, a good thing.

And that means that Langley has earned herself a new fan.

WATCH: Senator John Kennedy Sets CBS’s Margaret Brennan Straight After She Asks Him a Nasty Gotcha Question Regarding The SAVE America Act

Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) calmly shut down CBS’s Margaret Brennan after the leftist host tried to entrap him with a nasty question regarding the SAVE America Act.

On Sunday, Kennedy appeared on “Face the Nation” to discuss a variety of topics, including the recent Saudi Nuclear Deal, energy prices, and election integrity. Not surprisingly, the interview grew testy when Brennan brought up the SAVE America Act.

Brennan noted that Republicans in the House have embarked on a reconciliation process to pass the election integrity bill.They passed the SAVE America Act less than two weeks ago as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), as The Gateway Pundit reported.

Brennan slammed the SAVE America Act as “highly controversial, highly partisan”before ‘asking’ Kennedy whether passing the bill would hurt “faith in our elections” right before the midterms.

Kennedy calmly brushed aside her gotcha question and noted that there were two important things the SAVE America Act does:Number One, it requires people to prove who they say they are to register to vote, and to vote.

Number two, it sets forth a process to go back to having an election day, not an election month.

Berlin Terrorist Killed During Police Capture – Background of Terrorism as Known Wolfe

July 26, 2026 | Sundance |

The suspect who drove a van into a crowded gay-pride celebration was shot and killed by police following a manhunt. Abdul Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots,was killed following a search that lasted nearly 24 hours after the attack in downtown Berlin. {SOURCE}

KNOWN WOLF -The background of 21-year-old terrorist Abdul Ballout is a case study in failure by European authorities. Ballout previously travelled to Lebanon in 2025 to join ISIS in Syria. He was identified by German authorities as an ISIS terrorist and arrested in Lebanon where he served three months in prison and was returned to Germany.

Abdul Ballout was arrested at the Berlin airport upon return and was convicted in May of this year for preparing a serious act of violence endangering the state,as well as publishing Islamic State propaganda on his Instagram account and other charges=. He was sentenced to 1 year, 10-months in prison but the sentence was suspended for time served; he was released from custody.==

• (Via Associated Press) – BERLIN (AP) — The suspect in the deadly Berlin Pride attack that left one person dead and 29 injured was shot and killed by police during a confrontation on Sunday in a suburb of the city, authorities said.

• Abdul Ballout, a German citizen with Lebanese roots, was killed following a search that lasted nearly 24 hours after the attack in downtown Berlin. Berlin prosecutors said the suspect had previously sought to join the militant Islamic State group. (read more)

The ironic aspect to this particular attack is the cultural sensitivity of his victims. Abdul Ballout killed the same people who march in the streets to protect Islamists from the consequences of their ideology.

The Scale of Ineligible People Called for Jury Duty Starts to Highlight Number of Illegal Aliens Currently on Voter Rolls

July 26, 2026 | Sundance |

In most states the jury duty summons process comes from registered voter rolls. As a consequence,when a person is called for jury duty and is then disqualified as a non-citizen, we have another way to judge the scale of non-citizens on the voter rolls.

Reviewing lists of disqualified non-citizen jurors is now taking place in many counties led by citizen inquiry. The disqualification records, “non-juror” lists are public records in many states and counties. These reviews are turning up tens-of-thousands of non-citizens who are on juror lists, which means they are also on voter rolls.

• (New Jersey Globe) – About 75,000 noncitizens are summoned for jury duty in New Jersey each year, based on data from three state government agencies, including the Motor Vehicle Commission —a stunning figure that widens the scope of a growing controversy over government databases that may incorrectly identify noncitizens as eligible voters and jurors.

• While the number is alarming, there’s no indication that noncitizens have served on a jury since the judiciary implemented additional guardrails to prevent it.

• “Prospective jurors are asked about their citizenship and other qualifications when they complete the mandatory juror qualification questionnaire,” said Pete McAleer, a spokesman for the New Jersey Administrative Office of the Courts. “Those who advance are reminded of the eligibility requirements during jury orientation and are directly questioned about their citizenship during jury selection by the judge and, as permitted, the attorneys.”

• In between, potential jurors watch a training video that includes the citizenship requirement.

• The revelation of noncitizens making their way into jury pools comes three days after Gov. Mikie Sherrill disclosed that an alleged software glitch at motor vehicles led to the inclusion of roughly 6,600 noncitizens on New Jersey’s voter rolls; Sherrill blamed the vendor, IDEMIA, and said less than 400 noncitizens have voted in recent elections.

• According to McAleer, the judiciary processes more than one million summonses annually for potential jury service and randomly selects records provided from the Division of Elections, the Division of Taxation, and the MVC. (read more)
