Mamdani privately meets with powerful lefty unions about 2028 — as he makes striking AOC admission

Williams, Nelson and Fain are considered among the most progressive labor leaders in the country.

Mamdani has amassed substantial political capital after his stunning upset over former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo last year, which thrust him and his controversial leftist agenda onto the national stage.

He is now widely viewed as the “kingmaker” for the progressive branch of the Democratic party and has already shown a willingness to wield that power.

2027 French election: Radical left‘s Mélenchon builds campaign platform around idea of a ‚new France‘

(November 6, 2026)

„New France“ has now become the central pillar of Jean-Luc Mélenchon‘s political agenda. Barely mentioned in 2022, the political concept gradually developed in recent months now runs throughout L‘Avenir en commun („The Future Together“), the program of radical-left La France Insoumise (LFI). „This program proposes to create an entirely new France,“ writes presidential candidate Mélenchon in the introduction to the policy book published Friday, November 6, ahead of its official presentation at a convention in the northeastern Paris suburb of Le Bourget on Saturday.

Are the Corporate Democrats Gonna Blow This Again?

For its own survival and that of our republic—and the success of our 2028 candidate for president—the Democratic Party must now reject the neoliberals within its own ranks and makes a forceful argument for returning to the systems of Reconstruction, the New Deal, and the Great Society that protected and enriched working class people in the previous cycles.

If Democrats again embrace neoliberals like Rahm Emmanuel (who’s pretty much openly campaigning for the 2028 presidential election), they’ll fail at this critical work and messaging: that could well doom our American experiment in liberal democracy.

BREAKING NEWS: Angie Nixon Delivers Fiery Concession Speech After Losing Florida Senate Race

Angie Nixon Will Run Again

Moody will have to run again for a full term in 2028. Given how close the matchup between Moody and Nixon ended up, the energetic progressive insurgent is expected to try again.

“The sky’s the limit for her because now she also has a national following because her campaign has gotten so much national attention, and it also shows the power of grassroots campaigning,” says Austin. “Even though she didn’t win the election, a lot of people really listened to her, and she had a message that a lot of people really wanted to hear.”

Angie Nixon could have won Florida. National Democrats failed her

She lost to incumbent Ashley Moody, who was appointed by Gov. Ron DeSantis to fill the seat left vacant by Marco Rubio’s confirmation as secretary of state, by less than two percentage points. Moody outspent Nixon by more than double to barely eke out a majority.

The Democratic Socialists of America Score Big Wins in Congress

It was a big night for candidates backed by the Democratic Socialists of America. In Florida, DSA candidate Angie Nixon nearly defeated incumbent Republican Senator Ashley Moody, even though Nixon was vastly outspent and only received support from national Democratic leaders in the waning days of the race. Here in New York City, two DSA-backed candidates, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez, won congressional seats along with former City Comptroller Brad Lander. All three were endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani in their competitive primary races.

Elif Eralp, Spitzenpolitikerin der Berliner Linken, hält auf dem Landesparteitag eine kämpferische Rede. Nach dem Wahlerfolg fordert sie ein rot-grün-rotes Bündnis, die Vergesellschaftung großer Immobilienkonzerne und einen stärkeren Schutz vor steigenden Mieten.

Los Angeles DSA and DSA National have endorsed Angela Gonzales-Torres in her race to represent California’s 34th congressional district. The run-off election against embattled incumbent U.S. Rep. Jimmy Gomez will be one of the highest-profile DSA challenges on the ballot for the Nov. 3 general election. Due to California’s jungle primary system, both candidates in the general will appear on the Democratic ballot line.

Over 320 Jewish and Arab Academics Call on Public to Vote for the Joint List

Among the signatories are Prof. Amos Goldberg, Prof. Orna Ophir, Prof. Khawla Abu-Baker, Prof. Oded Goldreich, Prof. Nurit Peled-Elhanan, Prof. Oren Yiftachel, Prof. Yehouda Shenhav-Shaer, Prof. Gadi Algazi, Prof. Lior Sternfeld, Prof. Omri Boehm, Prof. Nitza Berkovitch, Prof. Marwan Dwairy, Prof. Raef Zreik, Prof. Yishai Rosen-Zvi, Prof. Gerardo Leibner, Prof. Avner Ben-Amos, Prof. Avishai Ehrlich, Prof. Itzhak Nevo, Prof. Dana Ron, Dr. Anat Matar, Dr. Efraim Davidi and Dr. Ornat Turin.

The statement reads: “We will not give up on a shared future: For equality, peace, and democracy, we will vote for the Joint List. We, academics, express our support for the Joint List and the principles it represents: full equality between Jews and Palestinians; recognition of Palestinians’ civil and national rights; an end to the occupation and the pursuit of a just peace; the struggle against racism and discrimination; and free and equal political representation for all citizens.

“We are living through a period in which racism and incitement are deepening, while the political space for Jewish-Arab partnership is shrinking. The war of annihilation in Gaza, the ethnic cleansing in the West Bank, the abuse of prisoners, and the rampant crime ravaging Palestinian society all reflect a destructive policy.

“We seek to stand firmly against this policy and emphasize: There is no democracy without equality, no peace without justice, and no shared future without Jewish-Arab political partnership. We believe that the lives and futures of Jews and Palestinians are intertwined, and that only a joint struggle for freedom, equality, and justice can secure a democratic future for us all. We support the Joint List, its principles, and the struggle it represents for a better life for everyone.”

The Joint List‘s Platform: There is another way

The Joint List strives to change the existing political, social and economic reality, to fight the spread of fascism under the government of Benjamin Netanyahu, and to act to halt all Israeli wars – chief among them the war of annihilation against the Palestinian people. The list is based in principle on the political platform of the first Joint List (2015), and works to realise this vision through representing the national and civil issues of Arab society with head held high, without trading one for the other.

This vision rests on the essential connection between the national and democratic struggle and action for a safe life with dignity. Hence, we place the individual and their dignity at the centre of politics: we link the national and civil rights of the Arab public to social justice and peace, defend the security of our families and our homes, our children‘s education, our health, and jobs and a life of dignity, and act to translate our joint power into tangible change in people‘s lives. This is our platform, and these are the issues we will place at the top of our priorities:

Throughout the weekend, Jean-Luc Mélenchon and his radical-left party, La France Insoumise, criticized the French government‘s crisis management of the protests on Saturday, October 17, and the violence surrounding them. As peaceful demonstrations where LFI supporters again turned out in strength overlapped with violence and looting, LFI continued its strategy of direct confrontation with the authorities, even at the risk of deepening its rift with the rest of the political class and some voters who hold them responsible for the unrest.

Je n’imagine pas cette campagne présidentielle comme le simple énoncé d’un programme, mais surtout comme un choix des principes de vie en société. Cette méthode nous a déjà permis d’acquérir une capacité de rassemblement qui surprend les commentateurs. Dans les analyses fournies à propos de notre succès, on parle de qui nous sommes, comment nous agissons, comment nous faisons campagne, nos capacités techniques à faire campagne… Beaucoup voient bien que nous sommes toute une équipe, au contraire de tous nos concurrents. Mais ce n’est pas ça la leçon essentielle de nos succès. Elle est ailleurs, dans la réponse à la question : dans quel état d’esprit est le peuple français. Que se passe-t-il dans la société dont nous sommes l’écho ? Aussi bien quand des jeunes acclament les députés Insoumis qui viennent les voir dans leur faculté ou leur lycée, ce qui est sans précédent.

AI Under Control

Bring the World Along

• International Public Cooperation and Governance Boards: We should negotiate a US-China treaty to pause and ban superintelligence, modeled on the Cold War deal in which Reagan and Gorbachev eliminated a class of nuclear missiles through inspections. A verification board would count chips and data centers, a scientific panel would share threat assessments, and a 24-hour hotline would flag incidents. Access to American chips and cloud services should be conditioned on signing and complying, and we should tighten chip export controls now.

• No AI in Nuclear Command and Control: Humans, and only humans, should decide whether to use nuclear weapons. That is already US policy: Biden and Xi agreed to it in 2024. We must make it permanent, cover early warning and decision support, keep frontier AI out of the chain, and get every nuclear nation to sign on.

Safeguards Everyone Can Count On

• Independent Audits: Outside experts test frontier AI before release. Even leading AI companies now accept this.

• Protect Whistleblowers: Insiders who sound the alarm should get legal protection, back pay, and rewards.

• Hands Off State Laws: No weak federal law should block states from protecting their people more strongly.

• Be Ready: We need a national AI emergency plan, with regular drills across government.

• Get AI Money Out of the Fight: Full disclosure of AI-industry political spending, including through super PACs and other dark money entities.

During the 2017-18 session, when her party was in the minority, Peggy was one of only two DFLers to successfully chief author a bill that became law. Since becoming Minnesota’s Lieutenant Governor in 2019, Peggy has made a difference for families.

Hold Your Nose And Vote

DeSantis is telling Republicans who are frustrated with their party’s candidates to vote for them anyway lest the DSA take the country “back to before the time of the American Revolution.”

Referring to GOP candidates as less-than-perfect, the governor insisted that the alternative is worse. State Rep. Angie Nixon, a DSA member, secured a major upset victory in August to become the Democratic nominee for the U.S. Senate in November.

(…)

Fox News writer Amanda Macias announced that Democratic Socialists of America are “seeking to reshape some of the most basic features of the U.S. economy.” She then proceeded to lay out DSA’s core platform: universal healthcare, free public universities, student debt cancellation, a 32-hour workweek, and collecting higher taxes from the wealthy.

Macias’s framing of the benefits of socialism reads like the wish list of anyone who is horrified by rising healthcare costs while buried in student debt and working insane hours to keep their head above water. In the end, she asked the same tired question posed by so many critics: who’s going to pay for it all?

A new fleet of F-35s never draws that question.
