Fake news CNN contributor and longtime left-wing activist Van Jones finally had enough of the radical Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) faction that is devouring his party.

In a lengthy statement posted Saturday, Jones emphasized that he remains a committed Democrat who supports progressive policies such as criminal justice reform, universal healthcare, free education, and environmental protections.

But, he warned, the agenda being promoted by some activists affiliated with groups like the DSA goes far beyond those policies.

Jones wrote on X:

“I’m tired of being told that, to be a progressive, I now must swear allegiance to crazy ideas. I’m a strong Democrat, with a winning bipartisan track record. I’m rooted in progressive ideals and policies: criminal justice reform, Green New Deal, Medicare for All, free education, clean air and water. These are ideas I have fought for my entire adult life. But some people in groups like the DSA are pushing an agenda FAR outside those ideals. Supporting Hamas is not progressive. ‘No police, no prisons, no borders’ is not progressive. Celebrating the murder of Israeli civilians is not progressive. These ideas are REGRESSIVE.

If there were no police or prisons, if anyone in your neighborhood could do whatever they wanted, while politicians cheered on terror groups — would that represent PROGRESS to you? No, that would be a step back. Those are REGRESSIVE ideas.

On the other hand, if everybody could see a doctor when they got sick, get a good, free education and breathe clean air — would that represent progress? Yes. Those are PROGRESSIVE ideas. They are NOT the same thing. And the difference matters.

Some defend the far left by claiming they only want Nordic-style social democracy. If that were true, I might applaud them. I want those policies, too! But what does universal healthcare have to do with Hamas? With abolishing all law enforcement? With erasing all borders? With treating every wealthy person as a villain? Ideas matter. And these are terrible ideas.

Right now, extremists are trying to sneak backwards proposals into our party, hoping mainstream Democrats are too frustrated with MAGA and the Democratic Party establishment to notice. But we see you.

Yes, we want our Democratic Party to be a big tent. But we don’t need ‘party poopers.’ So STOP pooping in the punch bowl — and telling us the turds are ice cubes. They aren’t. And we are smart enough to know the difference.”

The Gateway Pundit reported just weeks ago that Van Jones was already publicly fretting as DSA-backed candidates crushed moderate Democrats in New York and elsewhere. In late June, Jones warned that the DSA had built a disciplined “army” of organizers while establishment Democrats relied on expensive ads and distant donors. He admitted the “roof is collapsing on the Democratic Party establishment.”

Other Democrats, including longtime strategist James Carville, have likewise voiced concerns about the DSA’s expanding influence, with Carville even suggesting the party may need a formal split if the socialist faction continues to gain control.

Jamie Metzl, a lifelong Democrat who served on President Bill Clinton’s National Security Council and in the State Department under Madeleine Albright, also issued a stark warning that every American needs to hear.

According to Metzl, this is a highly coordinated, dangerous strategy by a small group of radical extremists who are actively working to hijack the Democrat Party, crash our economy, and completely dismantle our American system of government.

The post CNN’s Van Jones EXPLODES at Far-Left Socialist Radicals: “STOP Pooping in the Punch Bowl — And Telling Us the Turds Are Ice Cubes” appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.

President Trump brought up the MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN 2020 coordinated election fraud scheme – buried by Biden admin – during his address to the country on Thursday.

This massive ballot registration scandal was first reported by The Gateway Pundit in August 2023 thanks to Michigan activists who tipped us off to this massive voter registration scandal.

The Gateway Pundit showed that a left-wing outfit named GBI Strategies was attempting to fraudulently register up to 10,000 voters in a city with only 30,000 people.

This report on systemic voter fraud in the 2020 election has never been refuted or debunked; it was simply ignored and suppressed by legacy media. The blithe answer from Michigan’s corrupt far-left Attorney General is that they ‘referred it to the FBI.‘

Yet all the information is there in the Muskegon Police report, as well as another police report from the Michigan State Police, and yet there have been zero prosecutions of those involved.

The Muskegon fraudulent ballot registration case was not in suspended animation, and it certainly didn’t close itself.

It was deliberately buried under layers of AUSAs, FBI supervisors, DOJ Public Integrity Section (PIN) officials, redactions, and bureaucratic fingerprints.

The case agent objected, cited DOJ’s own election-crimes manual, and kept dragging the file back out of the grave. Everyone above him seemed determined to bury it again, only this time with a bigger shovel.

Investigators Internally Objected to Closing the Muskegon Case. We know this from a document released last week by the Trump Administration.

On page 1, an FBI agent writes:

“I’m not really comfortable closing the case at this point without raising these issues.”

On pages 1–2, the agent cites DOJ’s Federal Prosecution of Election Offenses manual. He argues that submitting false voter-registration information may be a prosecutable election offense even without proof that fraudulent votes were cast or that the election’s outcome was affected.

On page 2, he concludes:

“I wanted to raise my concerns before closing the case.”

The same page contains a November 3, 2021 email from DOJ’s Public Integrity Section stating that PIN would memorialize its agreement with the USAO and FBI decisions “not to seek prosecution.”

The objection is also documented in:

“FBIMichigan Four Year Case Timeline RELEASE MARKED.pdf”

Skip to PDF content

Page 1 records:

November 2, 2021: An AUSA advised that the Western District portion of the investigation could be closed.
November 11, 2021: The special agent emailed the AUSA “with concerns about closing investigation.”
January 4, 2022: Further discussions were held with PIN.
February 2, 2023: PIN finally authorized a full field investigation.

So the objection was not just philosophical. The investigation later expanded and continued for several more years.

The Case Ultimately Closed Without Charges

The definitive closure document is:

“265_0000001 – RELEASE MARKED.pdf”

Skip to PDF content

It’s dated September 25, 2025, and states that:

the FBI Detroit, Grand Rapids Resident Agency closed the investigation;
logical investigative leads had been exhausted;
the investigation hadn’t identified a criminal violation;
no further investigation was warranted; and a redacted AUSA concurred with closing the investigation.

The timeline shows that closure wasn’t a single, clean decision. There were at least three separate closure or declination stages:

November 2021: An AUSA advised that the Western District portion could be closed. The case agent objected.
July 17, 2024: The United States Attorney announced that there would be no prosecution. By October 8, however, the same U.S. Attorney was reportedly reconsidering prosecution.
September 25, 2025: The FBI formally closed the investigation with AUSA concurrence.

That’s less of an investigative timeline and more of a federal version of:

Typical fed political BS, close it, reopen it, reconsider it, consult headquarters, request another memorandum, and hope everyone eventually forgets why the file existed in the first place.

We also know that 65% of GBI Strategies registrations that were turned into the Muskegon clerk were fraudulent registrations.

Trump Highlights Illicit Democrat-Aligned Michigan Voter Registration Group in Thursday Address – But Several More Similar Leftist Groups Are Operating Throughout the Country

Here is Our Muskegon “Most Wanted” Playing-Card Deck

Ace of Spades: The United States Attorney
Documented role: At the July 17, 2024 senior-level meeting, the redacted United States Attorney advised that there wouldn’t be a prosecution.

Plot twist: On October 8, 2024, an ASAC reported that the U.S. Attorney was reconsidering prosecution.

My question: What changed between July and October, and what changed again before the case was finally closed?
King of Clubs: The AUSA Who Recommended Closure in 2021
Documented role: On November 2, 2021, an AUSA advised that the Western District portion of the investigation could be closed.

Question: What factual and legal analysis supported closure before the later database reviews, canvasser interviews, handwriting examination, and full field investigation?

King of Spades: The Final Concurring AUSA
Documented role: The September 25, 2025 closure memorandum states that a redacted AUSA concurred with closing the investigation.

Important caution: The record doesn’t establish that this was the same AUSA involved in the 2021 recommendation.

Question: Where’s the final written declination explaining why the admissions and interview evidence didn’t support charges?

Queen of Spades: DOJ Public Integrity Section (PIN)
Documented role: PIN controlled or influenced the scope of the election-crimes investigation, concurred with the 2021 decision not to prosecute, later authorized a full field investigation, participated in the July 2024 meeting, and continued reviewing the matter in late 2024.

Question: Why did PIN initially authorize an investigation into prepaid cards but not the underlying voter-registration fraud, and what legal standard ultimately governed the declination?

Queen of Clubs: Election Crimes Branch Leadership
Documented role: The timeline identifies consultation with the Director of the Election Crimes Branch and Deputy Chief of the Public Integrity Section. That official directed that interviews not be conducted during the week of the November 2023 Michigan elections.

Question: Apart from the election-timing restriction, what substantive advice did the Election Crimes Branch provide about charging the registration conduct?

Jack of Spades: The FBI ASACs
Documented role: Two Assistant Special Agents in Charge attended the July 17, 2024 no-prosecution meeting. Other timeline entries show ASAC involvement in case briefings, laboratory follow-up, and reporting that the U.S. Attorney was reconsidering prosecution.

Note that the released timeline doesn’t show either ASAC personally announcing or signing the final declination...

Question: What recommendations did the ASACs make through the FBI management chain?

Jack of Clubs: PCU Section Chief Devin Kowalski
Documented role: The timeline specifically names FBI Public Corruption Unit Section Chief Devin Kowalski as attending the July 17, 2024 meeting where the U.S. Attorney announced that there wouldn’t be a prosecution.

Attendance doesn’t prove that he recommended closure, but all of the CI indicators do.

Question: What position did the FBI Public Corruption Unit take regarding prosecution and continued investigation?

Ten of Spades: The Supervisory Special Agents
Documented role: Two SSAs attended the July 2024 meeting. In August 2024, an SSA asked the AUSAs whether additional action from PIN was needed to obtain a declination.

Question: Did FBI supervisors recommend closure, request further work, or simply wait for the prosecutorial decision?

Nine of Clubs: FBI Grand Rapids Resident Agency
Documented role: The September 25, 2025 memorandum states that the Grand Rapids Resident Agency formally closed the investigation.

Question: Who approved the FBI closure internally, and where’s the supervisory closing communication?

The Joker: The Missing Written Declination
The case agent specifically requested a written declination in March 2024. The timeline records repeated efforts to obtain one.

Yet the released materials don’t include the full written prosecutorial analysis explaining!

1. which statutes were considered;
2. which elements couldn’t be proved;
3. how the canvasser admissions were evaluated;
4. how the alleged supervisory instructions were evaluated;
5. what the FBI laboratory examination found; and
6. why the final memorandum says no criminal violation was identified.

The most important player in the deck may be the document that still hasn’t been released.

-Ace of Hearts: The Objecting Case Agent

- challenged the proposed 2021 closure;
- cited DOJ’s own election-offense manual;
- conducted database checks;
- pursued interviews;
- requested laboratory analysis;
- repeatedly sought charging decisions;
- asked for a written declination; and
- continued requesting guidance while the prosecutorial position remained unresolved.

This agent spent four years trying to move the investigation forward while the supervisory and prosecutorial machinery repeatedly kept driving stakes in its heart.

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) issued a chilling warning on social media, revealing that upcoming declassified files will expose a former Member of Congress who actively placed foreign spies as interns inside congressional offices.

Rep. Luna dropped the bombshell statement warning that disturbing records are set to be unlocked, laying bare how foreign intelligence operatives infiltrated the halls of Congress under the guise of internship placements:

“Some seriously disturbing declassified files will be coming out in the coming weeks about a Former Member Of Congress placing interns in other offices that happen to be agents of foreign governments. Representative Kat Cammack has legislation that would require background checks on staff and it should be brought to the floor immediately. Also, this is a massive security breach.”

Hours later, fellow Florida Republican Rep. Kat Cammack confirmed the foreign government at the center of the scheme: Qatar.

Investigative journalist Laura Loomer reported that Cammack verified her earlier reporting that Qatar has been placing foreign agents inside congressional offices under the cover of “interns.” Cammack responded simply: “You would be correct.”

Qatar, the same country that has hosted Hamas leaders, funded the Muslim Brotherhood, and poured money into American universities and influence operations, has been operating inside the halls of Congress with almost zero scrutiny.

And here’s the part that should enrage every American: Congressional staff and interns are not required to undergo background checks while handling classified information at the highest levels.

“You read that right. There are NO background checks for Congressional staff,” Rep. Cammack wrote.

“H.Res 500 would require background checks and full disclosure of dual citizenship and employment of foreign nations for staff. No surprise to anyone that we are being fought every step of the way. You can help us make sure all Capitol Hill staff get background checks by calling your Rep!”

Rep. Kat Cammack introduced H.Res. 500 in June 2025 precisely to fix this insane vulnerability. The resolution would require criminal background checks conducted by the U.S. Capitol Police for all House employees, full disclosure of dual citizenship, and reporting of any employment or financial ties to foreign nations.

This post is from February of last year. I raised this massive security vulnerability w/ leadership early last year. They knew then & still, they’ve refused to bring the resolution forward.
Nothing changes until the American people demand it. Demand your Rep cosponsor H.Res 500! https://t.co/xMW3owU4KT

Leftist comedian and HBO host Bill Maher just delivered a massive warning shot to the Democrat Party.

Appearing on ABC’s This Week on Sunday, Maher flatly admitted his presidential vote in 2028 is “in play” and that he could vote for Vice President JD Vance if Democrats continue their hard lurch into actual communism.

During a conversation with Jonathan Karl, Maher admitted that the modern Democratic Party has aligned itself so closely with the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) that he can no longer ignore the writing on the wall.

Jonathan Karl: You told J.D. Vance you’re open, your vote is up for grabs.

Bill Maher: Yes, my vote is in play because it can’t be Trump running. So I’m not living in communist America. I mean, I know that the talking point is that it’s not communism, it’s socialism.

Okay, I’ve read the quotes from the DSA platform, from their own mouths. Don’t tell me I’m not seeing what I am seeing. And DSA, again, they, they say things like, you know, takeover of key industries, government. That’s communism. You know, there is a definition.

Jonathan Karl: By the way, Trump’s doing that, too.

Bill Maher: Of course. Yes.

Jonathan Karl: And to a degree that we haven’t seen any other president. No, not a Republican.

Bill Maher: That’s crazy, too.

Jonathan Karl: He’s got a piece of Intel, right? A piece of the AI companies.

Bill Maher: He treats everything like it’s a real estate deal or, or I don’t know, he’s an agent or something. He always wants 10 or 15 percent.

Jonathan Karl: So you want to see Democrats win in the midterms?

Bill Maher: Absolutely. And they will, because it will still be a referendum on Trump. So I think the Democrats will do very well in the midterms. 2028 is a different story because by then this wing of the party, this new wing with all the energy— and it’s not just a few people anymore. I read every day, I read about a new person in some Colorado and Wisconsin, somebody who is saying some variation of not defund the police, abolish the police. No prisons, no police. Like, what world do they think we could possibly live in under these conditions? It’s just a level of nutty that I’m so glad that whenever it was, I was like, no, I’m not going along because this is where it ends.

Jonathan Karl: Could you see yourself voting for J.D. Vance?

Bill Maher: Yes. If this is the, the Democratic side, yes.

Jonathan Karl: Now, you, you have interviewed several of the possible Democratic candidates for 2028. How do you assess? Who do you like?

Bill Maher: Oh, I’m not going to ruin future guests by telling you that, John. How ridiculous. They’re all great.

This tracks perfectly with what Maher told Vance himself on Real Time back in June. The lifelong liberal told the Vice President straight up that if the Democrats continue down the path of Democratic Socialists, anti-capitalism, Jew-hatred, and “no prisons,” his vote is in play.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, co-chair of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Gustavo Gordillo, went on national television and openly defended the DSA’s radical platform while demonstrating a shocking ignorance of basic American government.

He called the United States Senate an “undemocratic institution” because it gives equal representation to smaller states and large ones, revealing he does not even understand the fundamental difference between the Senate and the House of Representatives.

The DSA’s official “Workers Deserve More” platform, which The Gateway Pundit has extensively documented, calls for:

• Eliminate the U.S. Senate.
• Replace the President with an executive chosen by Congress.
• Replace the Supreme Court with a judiciary subordinate to Congress.
• Grant universal amnesty to all illegal aliens.
• Defund the Department of Defense (which the platform refers to as the “Department of War”).
• Close overseas U.S. military bases.
• End American economic sanctions against foreign adversaries.
• Abolish what it calls the “carceral forces of the capitalist state,” including sweeping police and prison reforms.

If implemented, these proposals would fundamentally transform the American system of government by eliminating the constitutional separation of powers established by the Founding Fathers.

The DSA has become increasingly influential inside Democrat politics, with many of its members and allies winning elected office at the local, state, and federal levels.

President Donald Trump dropped a major bombshell on Truth Social Sunday night, revealing that the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has been caught publishing fraudulent, biased, and misleading “scientific” manuals on climate change that federal judges relied upon to greenlight massive climate cases.

For years, everyday Americans have been forced to sit back and watch as radical left-wing activists, rogue activist judges, and entrenched bureaucrats used junk science to destroy energy independence, cripple domestic manufacturing, and force the fraudulent “Green New Scam” down our throats.

These bogus manuals, Trump announced, have created huge losses across our country. He is now ordering Federal Suspension and Debarment Officials to review the conduct. Taxpayers will no longer fund this climate fraud, and judges will no longer be allowed to treat political propaganda as science.

Trump wrote:

“The National Academy of Sciences has historically published analytical Scientific Manuals expressly for our Federal Judiciary. Of course, the Academy has been run by Radical Left Dumocrats who, it turns out, published fraudulent, biased, and misleading Manuals on Climate Change.

These bogus Manuals were used by Judges to decide massive “Climate Change” Cases, and have created huge losses across our Country. These Manuals have been totally DISCREDITED.

Our Nation’s Federal Judges deserve Facts and Science, not Political Fraud and False Science on Climate.

With this TRUTH, I hereby order Federal Suspension and Debarment Officials to review this conduct. Our Taxpayers should not be funding Climate Fraud, and Judges should never have relied upon it.”

The National Academy of Sciences has long served as an adviser to the federal government on scientific matters, with its reports frequently cited in policymaking and litigation.

According to Reuters, the manuals in question are part of the Reference Manual on Scientific Evidence (Fourth Edition), a joint product of the Federal Judicial Center and the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM).

The latest edition included a highly politicized climate science chapter written by authors tied to climate litigation outfits, including Columbia University’s Sabin Center for Climate Change Law, the same network that has spent years pushing activist lawsuits against energy producers and states.

Earlier this year, a coalition of Republican state attorneys general, led by Montana’s Austin Knudsen and including nearly 30 red-state AGs, blasted the chapter as biased, riddled with conflicts of interest, and designed to tip the scales in climate litigation. The authors had deep ties to advocacy and active lawsuits.

Under pressure, the Federal Judicial Center withdrew the climate chapter from its version of the manual in February. NASEM, however, kept the material available online and refused demands to fully pull it.

A 29-year-old Turkish migrant living in Germany refused to sit next to a woman on a flight because of Sharia law, then punched or slapped the female flight attendant who dared to confront him.

According to BILD, the suspect was arrested after the June 1 flight landed in Düsseldorf.

Police say witnesses told investigators the man refused to remain in his assigned seat because it was next to a woman, claiming his actions were based on Sharia law.

When a female flight attendant approached him in an effort to defuse the situation, the passenger allegedly punched or slapped her in the face, according to police.

German Federal Police took the suspect into custody immediately after the aircraft landed. Authorities say he later admitted to assaulting the flight attendant during questioning.

The incident reportedly escalated further during police questioning when the suspect allegedly insulted officers in Turkish, apparently unaware that one of the federal officers understood the language. He now faces charges related to both the alleged assault and insulting law enforcement officers.

Sharia law has zero legal standing in Germany. Yet this migrant felt entitled to impose it mid-flight and then attack a woman who wouldn’t accommodate his demands.

Initial reports incorrectly identified the aircraft as belonging to Turkish Airlines. The airline later clarified that the incident did not occur on one of its flights, according to the New York Post.

The Gateway Pundit has repeatedly documented the growing assertiveness of Sharia attitudes across Europe: no-go zones, parallel societies, honor-based violence, and the steady erosion of women’s safety in public spaces.

From Cologne’s mass sexual assaults to street patrols enforcing Islamic dress codes, the pattern is clear. When authorities refuse to enforce assimilation and instead prioritize multicultural dogma, these incidents become routine rather than shocking.

Western women are expected to accommodate medieval religious demands on airplanes, in schools, and on city streets. Flight attendants, teachers, and everyday female passengers are left to deal with the consequences while politicians and media soft-pedal the cultural and religious roots of the problem.
