Donald Trump denounced communism in a July 3 speech underneath Mount Rushmore in South Dakota. A three-person team at Associated Press – Steven Stone, Steve Peoples, and Michelle Price -- penned a story headlined: “Trump hails US exceptionalism before veering into darkly political speech to usher in America 250.”

President Trump has reacted to the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America by sounding the alarm about communism, which greatly upset Associated Press fact-checker Melissa Goldin on Thursday because, according to her, only card-carrying members of the Communist Party USA can be called communists.

As the Democratic Party is taken over by radical democratic socialists across America, the Republican Party has begun sounding the alarm regarding the socialist shift. On the other hand, this Monday, MS NOW Reports found itself more focused on attacking the Republicans.

MS Now treating the apocalyptic ramblings of Bill Nye — the so-called “Science Guy” — like serious scholarship is a criminal offense against its viewers’ intelligence. 

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has chalked up more notable victories. His candidates won three crucial Democratic primaries -- candidates who are supporters of the Democratic Socialists of America, as is Mamdani -- defeating three Democratic Party establishment candidates, two of whom are sitting members of Congress. Discussing with ABC’s Jonathan Karl, Mamdani’s eyes twinkle; he is calm,…

On Wednesday’s Morning Joe, as left-wing cable networks continued to be forced to cover the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) due to their continued wins in Democratic primaries, guest Anand Giridharadas, an online newsletter publisher, downplayed concerns of the DSA having radical ideologies. He asserted the DSA was like to “left, center-left ideology in most…

On Tuesday’s CNN This Morning, the short morning show focused heavily on the trials and tribulations of the Democratic Socialists of America and their rise, with candidates being nominated across the country, including in NYC last week and possibly in Colorado this week. In one of many segments on socialism and the Democrat Party, Cornish asked her panel about GOP’s labeling of the…

CNBC addressed the elephant in the room with House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) over communist Mamdani radicals winning their respective primaries against entrenched Democrat incumbents in the Big Apple. Jeffries’ canned response: Muh, but Trump!

NYC has a much more alarming meaning after the Democratic primaries this week: New York Communists. Among those victorious Democrats were Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier, both of whom were endorsed by the organization Democratic Socialists of America and Mayor Mamdani. MS NOW’s Wednesday evening shows All In with Chris Hayes and The 11th Hour with Ali Velshi …

In the aftermath of Tuesday’s New York Democratic primaries, three self-identified Democratic socialist candidates claimed victory, backed by radical New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani. Campaigning on anti-Zionism, police abolition, and socialist policies, the victory of these candidates signals a major shift in the politics of the Democratic party. But Tuesday on CNN’s The Source, their…
