House Democratic leadership just handed AIPAC darling Debbie Wasserman Schultz a seat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. At a moment when Democratic voters are increasingly rejecting endless war, unconditional support for Israel, and failed sanctions on countries like Cuba and Venezuela, party leaders rewarded one of Congress’s most hawkish voices with a powerful role shaping U.S. foreign policy. What does it say about Democratic leadership when this is who they choose to represent them on foreign affairs?

The @GreenPartyUS stands with the people of Cuba, and demands an end to the inhumane blockade of life-saving supplies imposed by the United States. Hands off Cuba! 🇨🇺 📷: In 2024, Jill Stein met with student activists with Cuba Solidarity at @Portland_State

Tonight, I offered public comment on behalf of the roughly 1k registered Greens in Eugene and on behalf of my community, to address the toxic culture within the EPD. I'm not expecting every officer to share my world view, but I do expect them to respect the public they serve.

The ‘Democrat’ Party is an ironic moniker; like calling the biggest guy on the block ‘Tiny.’ They haven’t had a real presidential primary since 2012. They spend more to knock Greens off the ballot in every single electoral cycle than Greens spend on campaigns. Authoritarian regimes across the globe invent bull$hit reasons to remove competitors from the ballot all the time. Dems are authoritarian antidemocratic fascists. Everyone who supports them needs to think about the moral ramifications of that.

Pete Karas, the Wisconsin Green Party’s candidate for secretary of state, says his nomination papers have been challenged ahead of hearing before the Wisconsin Elections Commission over a “technicality” tied to the state's Act 126. NEW on SUBSTACK: independentpoliticalreport.s…

"Progressives" will bend over backwards to make excuses for flawed Democrats, while doing absolutely nothing to help Green candidates who don't have any of that baggage. And then they'll think they are smart and good and pragmatic.
Maine voter asked about Platner: "If we want folks that are representing us from the working class, they're not necessarily going to have a groomed and perfect political record"

"We're not a protest. We're not a spoiler. We're a party, and we're here to stay." I love it.
Lookie here @WisDems RELEASE: Pete Karas Files for Governor in 2030 — Because Apparently the Democrats Need a Reminder of How Democracy Works MUSKEGO, WI — Pete Karas, the Wisconsin Green Party's 2026 candidate for Secretary of State, has a message for the Democrats who challenged his nomination papers: thanks for the motivation. Karas announced today that he has filed to run for Governor of Wisconsin in 2030. "You tried to kick me off the ballot for Secretary of State, and your reward is a Green Party candidate for Governor four years from now," Karas said. "I want to be very clear — this is not a threat. It's a promise." Karas, a former Racine City Alderman and small business owner from Muskego, has spent years fighting for the kinds of reforms that would make ballot suppression tactics like this impossible — ranked-choice voting, expanded ballot access, and an end to the two-party chokehold on Wisconsin elections. He didn't expect to become his own best case study quite so quickly. "The whole reason I'm running for Secretary of State is because the system is rigged to keep independent voices out. And then they go ahead and prove my point for me. I couldn't have written it better myself." Rather than stepping back, Karas says the challenge to his papers has only deepened his commitment to building the Wisconsin Green Party for the long haul — candidate by candidate, race by race, election cycle by election cycle. "We're not a protest. We're not a spoiler. We're a party, and we're here to stay. See you in 2030."

Jacobin magazine, the principal mouthpiece of the leadership of the Democratic Socialists of America, today released a hit piece on Amazon labor leader Chris Smalls, @Shut_downAmazon. It could be legit if Jacobin had had an honest critique of Smalls to clarify what class struggle unionist leaders should be doing. But the article is not that at all. It’s a hatchet job against a leading labor activist who has refused to toe the line of the DSA and the business unionist labor leaders who give cover to the so-called progressive Democrats and to the Democratic Party as a whole, despite shocking betrayals by them against working people. The crux of the real reason why Jacobin went after Smalls is contained in this sentence: “[Smalls] blames the two-party system for the state of the American labor movement…” Smalls is spot on about this and the need to break from the Democratic and Republican parties. We need a new party of the working class. The DSA leadership, on the other hand, sees giving cover to the Democratic Party as job number one. The Democratic Party is the party under whom the genocide in Gaza began and which engineered the breaking of the railroad workers’ strike — both under President Joe Biden. ALL Democrats in the House, including DSA star AOC voted to break the strike. The Democratic Party is one of the two most powerful capitalist parties in the world, and in no way represents working people or the oppressed. Business unionist labor leaders are those who have made peace with the capitalist system and are driven by protecting their careers, which means placating the bosses, not organizing the rank and file against the bosses to win substantive working-class victories. Refusing to fight the bosses also means aligning with the parties of the bosses, like the Democratic Party. The overwhelming majority of the labor leadership today is business unionist, with some crucial exceptions like Smalls. We need a reckoning in the labor movement. Brother Smalls has put his life on the line for the antiwar movement in solidarity with the Palestinia people against the Israeli state’s genocide bankrolled by both the Democratic and Republican parties. Smalls went on a Gaza aid flotilla carrying food, baby formula, diapers and medicine in the context of catastrophic levels of mass starvation in Gaza. The flotilla was attacked by the Israeli military, who physically assaulted Smalls, and kicked and choked him. In contrast, AOC has voted for the Iron Dome which is part of the Israeli state’s genocidal apparatus. For having the temerity to expose AOC and other self-described “progressive” politicians, Smalls is called “narcissistic” by Jacobin, a term the magazine’s editors were apparently forced to retract after they got huge amounts of flak on all social media. Personal attacks and character assassination like in this case are often used by the political establishment’s spokespeople as proxy for their real objections — in this case, the threat they feel from Smalls openly calling out the Democratic Party’s actual role. The only way of rebuilding a militant labor movement is to pose a concrete threat to both the Democratic and Republican parties, which in turn requires a challenge to the business unionist labor leadership. That is the basis on which I won the nation’s highest minimum wage and the Amazon Tax during the decade I was the sole socialist on the Seattle City Council. I am now running as an independent revolutionary socialist against genocidal Democrat Adam Smith. I am calling for an end to all military aid to Israel and an end to all weapons and tech for genocide and imperialist war. kshamasawant.org
Chris Smalls shot to prominence for playing a key role in the shock union win at a New York Amazon warehouse. He was charismatic and energetic at a time labor needed both. But in the years since, his own ego has overwhelmed his political contributions. jacobin.com/2026/06/smalls-a…

The "Free Speech" party has an opinion about who should be allowed to talk.
I have asked the Speaker to ban Code Pink. I was just physically hit by their head organizer. This is right after I questioned Secretary Rubio about them. It is time Speaker Johnson ban them.
Community note
Rep. Luna was not physically “hit.” The Code Pink member in question lightly brushed her arm, as can be seen on video provided by TMZ. x.com/tmz/status/206…
