The group of volunteers for her underdog Senate campaign sat inside a union office in suburban Broward County, a liberal stronghold in the increasingly Republican-leaning state. It was a small group, maybe a dozen people.
But donât worry, Ms. Nixonâs political director, Rachel Gilmer, reassured them: âThis tiny room is part of many, many tiny roomsâ across the state, she said, with more volunteers also ready to knock on Democratic votersâ doors.

We live in an intensely atomized society, and at no point have we been more alone than today, when the old bonds of community have largely eroded after decades of neoliberalism.
(…)
When this is connected to a project of expanding the electorate instead of only trying to persuade frequent voters, at its best, the result is a feeling of equality and common cause between the canvasser and the voter: you knocked on my door, nobody ever knocked on my door before, and you brought to my attention a vision of politics which I hadnât before been exposed to. I and others have even on occasion recruited people to DSA in this way, after winning a voter over to our candidates.
In a surprise upset described variously as âstunningâ and âa shockerâ in headlines, State Rep. Angie Nixon won the Democratic primary for the open US Senate seat in Florida on Tuesday, defeating Lt. Col. Alex Vindman, the former national security official who many presumed would sail to victory with the support of the party establishment and a massive cash advantage.
Nixon, a former union organizer and a member of the Democratic Socialists of America, will now face Sen. Ashley Moody, whom Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed to the seat after former Sen. Marco Rubio became Secretary of State, in the general election.
What Led To This Moment
Angie Nixon is a Florida State Representative, union organizer, and mother born and raised in Jacksonville who has spent her career fighting for hardworking Floridians. In the State House, she expanded childcare, took on corporate price-gouging, and led the fight against DeSantisâs unfair voting maps. Her leadership is rooted in lived experienceâwatching her mom work two jobs to get by, attending public schools, and losing her cousin to gun violence. Angie is running to lower costs, raise wages, and build a people-powered government that puts families firstânot greedy billionaires.
Florida State Rep. Angie Nixon, from Jacksonville‘s Moncrief neighborhood, beat former Trump Administraton whistleblower Alex Vindman in a stunning upset.
Vindman ran a centrist camapaign focused on corruption and the need for congressional checks on the Trump administration. But some strategists have said his campaign was a sleepy one, centered more on the general election than on the primary, where he faced an experienced campaigner.
Vindman declined to debate Nixon during the campaign. He conceded the race Tuesday night, applauding her âhard workâ and Democratic nomination to the U.S. Senate. ââI will be standing by her,â he said, âand my hope is that she wins this election, because again, the stakes couldnât be higher.â
Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) member and Democratic state Rep. Angie Nixon scored a massive upset in the state‘s Democratic primary for U.S. Senate. Nixon ran against retired Air Force Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, a prominent critic of Trump who played a central role in the left‘s failed 2019 impeachment attempt, who was expected to emerge victorious.
She defeated Vindman by almost 12 points, despite his $16.3 million war chest, compared to hers of only about $1 million. As of July, Vindman had spent about $9 million on the race, while Nixon had spent just over $700,000.
Vice President JD Vance discusses how the GOP can combat socialist support on âThe Will Cain Show.
State Rep. Francesca Hong has conceded after an upset win by opponent and Democratic nominee for governor David Crowley Tuesday night.
Francesca Hong, the democratic socialist running in the Democratic primary for the Wisconsin governorâs race, lost last night in an extremely close election. She came within half a percentage point of beating David Crowley, the executive of Milwaukee County. Preelection polling showed Hong with a commanding lead, and many assumed she would coast to victory. As such, her result is being spun as a hard defeat for the socialist left.
Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley defeated democratic socialist Francesca Hong in Wisconsinâs closely watched Democratic gubernatorial primary, handing the party establishment a key win. Crowley, backed by Gov. Tony Evers, will face Trump-endorsed Republican Rep. Tom Tiffany in November.

And other leaders say they arenât familiar with who she is, underscoring the work Hong has ahead of her if she wins Tuesday.
âI donât know her,â Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said in a brief hallway interview.
Sanders has said he would not endorse Hong and declined to comment when asked by POLITICO about the race last Friday on Capitol Hill.

Wie siehtâs denn aus mit dem, worĂŒber keiner mehr reden will â mit dem Geld?
Wer hat acht Billionen Euro Geldvermögen der âPrivaten Haushalteâ?
Du vielleicht?
Dein Nachbar?
Deine Freundin?
Deine Chefin?
Wirklich?
Wie sieht es mit den weiteren acht Billionen Euro Geldvermögen aus, von den ânichtfinanziellen Kapitalgesellschaftenâ, den Aktiengesellschaften?
Schon mal etwas davon gehört?
Wurde Dir schon mal ein Kaffee ausgegeben davon?
Wo ist das alles? Wo geht das alles hin?
Und wer hat das verdient�
Wie merkwĂŒrdig, dass von allen Leuten, die sich heutzutage links nennen, keiner mehr ĂŒber das System des Geldes, oder wie man frĂŒher sagte, Vorsicht â (umguck) â KAPITALISMUS redet.
Ist das eine Art kosmisches Gesetz? Eine Art Europhilie? Eine wie auch immer geartete Vergesslichkeit der Genösschen?
Oder ist der Kapitalismus heutzutage ganz besonders unantastbar â weil das prokontinental ist?
Weil man damit andere Völker auch so prima erpressen kann, zum Verkauf ihres Staatseigentums, ihrer Infrastruktur, um sie dann bis aufâs Blut auszupressen, bis ĂŒber den HauptstĂ€dten dieses Kontinents schon der Rauch aufsteigt?
âGemach, Gemachâ, âum Himmels Willenâ, werden jetzt viele rufen und sagen: âD-Mark! D-Mark!â
Versuchen wir es mal mit einem aus fĂŒnf Wörtern der deutschen Sprache bestehenden SatzâŠ
Achtung:
Ein neues Finanzsystem wÀre neu. Haben wir das jetzt alle verstanden?
You can‘t actually talk about what you want to do?
Ripping Rogers as a âcorporate sellout,â El-Sayed said that he is âa guy who spent 14 years in Congress with one goal: to figure out how to cash out the day he left. And guess what he did: As soon as he left Congress, after having taken corporate check after corporate check after corporate check, to empower the corporations to pick your pockets, he went and he cashed out.â
âNot in Michiganâno, winters are too cold for him,â he added, eliciting chuckles from the crowd. âHeâs got thin skin, after all. He went to Florida. So, Mike, if you wanna be a Florida man, go be a Florida man.â
Rogersâ who was unopposed in Tuesdayâs GOP primary, worked for the Federal Bureau of Investigation before entering politics, first at the state level and then representing Michiganâs 8th District in Congress from 2001-15. In comments to Fox News late Tuesday, the Republican cited his time fighting âterrorismâ in the FBI and falsely claimed that El-Sayed believes âAmerica deserved 9/11.â
MICHIGAN â On Tuesday, August 4th, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic nomination for Michiganâs United States Senate seat, prevailing in the most expensive Senate primary in American history. The race drew record breaking outside spending from AIPAC and corporate special interests, totaling nearly $70 million, Abdul having been outspent 11:1.
An average of $95 was spent for every vote against Abdul, more than 10 times as much as Abdulâs $9 per vote average.
Big money, the Democratic old guard and attacks on El-Sayedâs Democratic Socialist leanings dominated the primary, and leave the last man standing on the Left bruised and battered heading into the showdown with Rogers.
Asked whether AOC, who is 36, would make a good president, Mamdani did not hesitate: âI think sheâd make a good anything.â The rise of socialists, personified by this pair of young politicians, has provoked thinly veiled concern within the Democratic establishment, especially among those sectors tied to the partyâs traditional support for Israel.

Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon spoke at the national rally launching the 2027 presidential campaign in Saint-Denis on June 7, 2026.
(June 29, 2026)
»Meine Damen und Herren, Genossinnen und Genossen â hier ist Ihr Kandidat fĂŒr die PrĂ€sidentschaftswahl 2027: Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon!,« schallte es ĂŒber die StraĂen von Saint-Denis. Anfang des Monats trafen Zehntausende in der Stadt nordöstlich von Paris zusammen. Trotz der brennenden Sonne waren sie gekommen, um den Linken MĂ©lenchon beim Start seines Wahlkampfs fĂŒr die PrĂ€sidentschaftswahl 2027 zu erleben.
Es war eine eindrucksvolle Demonstration der Wahlkampfmaschinerie, die MĂ©lenchon seit seiner ersten Kandidatur 2012 aufgebaut hat. Damals hatte er die Parti Socialiste (PS) verlassen, um links von ihr seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen.

Franceâs 2027 presidential election is increasingly looking like a shoo-in for the far right, or at least a hard-fought scrape by the center. But what if something closer to a âMamdani momentâ is in store?
(June 25, 2026)
The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) are eyeing a 2028 presidential bid in the wake of recent electoral successes across the country.
DSA Co-chair Ashik Siddique told The Hill in a Thursday interview that the organization has more than 100,000 members and 200 chapters across the country. âWe want people to be talking proactively about what they would want to see in a presidential campaign,â he said. The organization is looking to see how voters would engage and what would motivate them, he added.
U.S. Rep. Adriano Espaillat, who leads the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and is in his fifth term, was defeated by Mamdaniâs most polarizing pick, Darializa Avila Chevalier, a democratic socialist who once helped organize pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University.
U.S. Rep. Dan Goldman, a two-term incumbent, was beaten by the Mamdani-backed former city Comptroller Brad Lander, a fixture among New York progressives who has often shown sympathy to the democratic socialist movement. And another Mamdani ally, democratic socialist state Assembly Member Claire Valdez, defeated the handpicked successor of retiring U.S. Rep. Nydia Velazquez.

Not long ago, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani was demonized by leaders of both political parties. On Thursday night, the 34-year-old democratic socialist was celebrated as a political force, the face of the regionâs sports renaissance, even the leader of âMamdanistan.â
In a rally with Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., that drew thousands to a Brooklyn theater, the emboldened mayor delivered a fiery message to Democratic leaders in Washington â and even those considering 2028 presidential bids â as he worked to elevate a slate of likeminded candidates in Tuesdayâs New York primaries.
One of the strongest indicators of whether people or businesses are actually fleeing from a city is the housing and real estate market. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when many residents really did leave New York for the surrounding suburbs and other states, the cityâs vacancy rates soared and rents dropped with demand, leading to âCOVID discountsâ at the height of the pandemic. This trend was even more extreme for the cityâs commercial real estate, where vacancy rates doubled as more companies adopted remote work and shed office space.
Today nearly every indicator points to the opposite problem: demand is running hot and supply is lagging badly, especially when it comes to housing.
Your Party is proud to support the community and independent candidates across the country in the upcoming elections. Electing these members of your community is the first step in building a real alternative, a politics rooted in and accountable to our communities, not billionaires and the professional political class. Together, we will campaign against cuts, stand up for public services and council housing and advocate for full divestment from Israeli apartheid.
These local elections are a huge opportunity to elect socialist councillors, build our bases and make change happen â please support and vote for them on May 7th!

Im Falle eines Zusammenbruchs der âS.P.D.â wĂŒrde sich sofort eine sozialdemokratische Partei Deutschlands grĂŒnden.
Zur Zeit steht die im Kaiserreich gegrĂŒndete und in den letzten sechzehn Jahren Krieg und Euro-Kapitalismus zwölf Jahre an der Regierung befindliche Partei âS.P.D.â bei 18,5 Prozent. Mancher wird sich nun fragen, wie das ohne die âS.P.D.â weitergehen soll. Genau das ist ja der Punkt: gar nicht. Das ist ein Grund zur Freude, nicht zur Sorge.
Die âS.P.D.â ist eine Fantompartei. Ihre einzige Aufgabe ist es die Berliner Republik abzuwickeln, die sie nie gewollt hat und die ihrem Auftrag âVereinigte Staaten von Europaâ genauso im Weg steht wie alle anderen Demokratien auf dem Kontinent. Diese machen den Deutschen wieder einmal vor, wie einfach es sein kann neue Parteien zu grĂŒnden, wenn einen die alten verraten.
Das mĂŒssen die Deutschen offensichtlich einfach noch lernen. Denn Demokratie ist wie Autofahren. Wer sie nicht kann, der will sie nicht, der will sie auch nicht lernen, sondern lieber einen Verkehrsunfall.

The image of a rifle in the hands of a singer-songwriter is strange, but not when the one wielding it is Silvio RodrĂguez, 79. The Cuban singer-songwriter has spent his entire life singing, directly or indirectly, about the Revolution, its leaders and its ideals; about the martyrs and the guerrillas. âThere are politics in my songs, but not propaganda,â says the musician, who receives EL PAĂS on Wednesday at the OjalĂĄ studios in Havana. He speaks of the governmentâs âorthodox and closedâ vision in the economic sphere, and of his commitment to a less ârigidâ socialism. âSocialism by the book is very idealistic,â he concludes. He doesnât budge an inch on his opinion of the United States government: âThe world is run by an authoritarian, warmongering, thieving regime. And itâs not Cuba.â
It reads: âBill to require parliamentary approval for the deployment of UK armed forces and military equipment for armed conflict; to require parliamentary approval for the granting of permission by ministers for use of UK military bases and equipment by other nations for armed conflict; to require the withdrawal of that permission in circumstances where parliamentary approval is not granted; to provide for certain exemptions from these requirements; to make provision for retrospective parliamentary approval in certain circumstances; and for connected purposes.â

The alliance is between the resurgent Green Party, the new left-wing Your Party, the parliamentary Independent Alliance of independent MPs and Labour backbenchers.
Jeremy Corbyn, former Labour leader and parliamentary leader of the new Your Party, on Thursday tabled a parliamentary bill with cross-party backing that would require parliament‘s approval for the foreign use of British military bases.
It comes in response to Prime Minister Keir Starmer‘s decision on Sunday night to allow the US to use UK military bases for the purpose of targeting Iranian missile sites.

A Jeremy Corbyn-led Your Party will work with the Green party and others to push for a âcoordinated left-flank offensiveâ against Reform and Labour, the Guardian understands.
After winning a comprehensive victory to become the de facto leader of the leftwing startup party on Thursday, Corbyn will seek to rebuild bridges with pro-Gaza communities âalienatedâ by his rival Zarah Sultana, sources close to Corbyn said.
