The Kamala Harris campaign's embrace of Liz Cheney was a turning point for the DSA's base. Politico's Will Steakin reports that DSA-aligned voters felt completely shut out, and the movement's response is to throw a 'Molotov cocktail' into the party and dare establishment Democrats to stop them.

Noel King raises the fact that James Carville has publicly called for a Democratic 'schism' over the DSA, and that some establishment figures want nothing to do with DSA-affiliated candidates [1] — Will Steakin "The Kamala Harris campaign's embrace of Liz Cheney was a turning point for the DSA's base. Politico's Will Steakin reports that DSA-aligned…" 09:07 . Steakin uses this as an entry point to explain why: from the DSA's perspective, they were completely alienated by the Kamala Harris campaign's decision to embrace Liz Cheney in pursuit of a broader coalition. For voters who wanted the Democratic Party to move left on Medicare for All, Israel, and economic justice, watching their candidate court a Republican war hawk was a dealbreaker. The result: a movement that has decided to 'throw a Molotov cocktail' into the party rather than play nice. Steakin flags the Michigan Senate race — Abdul Syed running as a DSA-aligned candidate — as the next major test of whether this insurgent energy can travel beyond New York and Denver.
DSA-aligned voters and candidates were deeply turned off by the Kamala Harris 2024 campaign's decision to embrace Liz Cheney in an effort to broaden the coalition.
The DSA is actively surveying hundreds of thousands of members to find a 2028 presidential candidate, with a decision expected in September. The catch: their biggest star, Zohran Mamdani, is constitutionally ineligible because he wasn't born in the US.
Ten years ago, 90% of tech media coverage was relentlessly negative and Kalanick felt he couldn't speak freely. Today, the rise of independent podcasters and Elon Musk buying Twitter has fundamentally changed the game — and it's why he's finally willing to talk.
Kay Classman, 28, was arrested for repeatedly posing as a 16-year-old and enrolling in Bronx high schools across multiple districts. She wasn't a predator — just someone so sad and lonely she wanted her lost childhood back. That's somehow sadder.
Disney, Meta, and Paramount have collectively paid Trump roughly $60 million to settle what Galloway calls nuisance lawsuits — all routed to his presidential library. Newsrooms are folding. The White House is handpicking press pool participants. This is what the end of a free press looks like.
One cheap fake documentary made by a teenager in his mother's basement convinced 16% of Americans that 9/11 was an inside job. Social media didn't invent conspiracy — it just gave it a rocket engine.
A progressive organization with a stated mission to destroy Turning Point USA received millions from ActBlue and is now publicly pushing the narrative that TPUSA insiders and Israel murdered Charlie Kirk. Andrew Wilson traced the network of accounts all amplifying the same conspiracy in perfect unison.
The microphone-bomb theory fails on every physical front: no smoke, no ignition, mic on the wrong side of the wound. And the .30-06 rifle round used is extensively documented by the US Army — it does not always produce a through-and-through wound. Wilson argues this is a well-studied projectile with well-understood behavior.
Andrew Wilson publicly offered Candace Owens $300,000 to debate her theory that Israel and TPUSA murdered Charlie Kirk. She refused. He argues that flat-earthers will debate anyone, but Kirk conspiracy theorists won't defend their claims under scrutiny.
Erika Kirk became the CEO of TPUSA while grieving her husband's murder in public, and now faces tens of thousands accusing her of conspiring to kill him. Andrew Wilson calls it mind-boggling psychological torture. The sparklers at the memorial weren't suspicious — they were a grieving widow doing her best in an impossible situation.
Joe Rogan and Andrew Wilson watch a bystander video of the Corey Ruiz police shooting in Madison, Wisconsin live on air. The video is so blurry they initially think a female officer fired the fatal shots. They later learn a male officer did, after Ruiz allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed officers. Their conclusion: you cannot have a hot take on a story you don't understand yet.
