During a CNN “NewsNight” debate, Vice President JD Vance faced criticism for his response to a Politico report detailing racist and offensive messages exchanged in a Young Republicans group chat, where individuals used racial slurs and praised Hitler. Vance downplayed the report by drawing a comparison to messages from former Virginia state lawmaker Jay Jones, arguing he wouldn’t “join the pearl clutching when powerful people call for political violence”. Republican strategist Kristin Davis believed Vance missed an opportunity to encourage those involved to learn and apologize, while other panelists like Keith Boykin expressed disappointment, highlighting the Republican party’s current trajectory.
Republican lawmakers are preemptively attacking the upcoming “No Kings” rally, accusing it of being a pro-terrorism demonstration meant to benefit Democrats in the ongoing government funding fight. Leading figures like House Majority Whip Tom Emmer and Speaker Mike Johnson have made inflammatory claims that the rally is anti-American and aligned with radical groups, while others have resorted to more standard political tactics. Despite these accusations, organizers like Indivisible emphasize their commitment to nonviolence and a focus on peaceful protest. Amidst the rhetoric, the rally is expected to draw a large crowd, and concerns have been raised about the impact on the government funding negotiations and the potential for political violence.
A Republican state senator from Orleans County, Samuel Douglass, is facing calls for his resignation after a Politico report revealed his participation in a racist text chat with members of Young Republican chapters from multiple states. The chat, hosted on Telegram, included antisemitic and racist remarks, which led to condemnation from prominent Republican figures, including Governor Phil Scott and other state party leaders. The group chat, which involved other young Republicans from multiple states, contained hundreds of racist slurs. Douglass has not yet responded to requests for comment.
Kansas Young Republicans shut down after Politico report on racist, violent encrypted chat. This is a sentence that really cuts to the chase, doesn’t it? It sums up a pretty shocking situation: a group, the Kansas Young Republicans, imploded after a report detailed the disturbing content of their private, encrypted conversations.
Republicans in the company of strangers: *”Democrats call everyone they disagree with a Nazi.”* But as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words. The irony isn’t lost on anyone, the report revealed just how far from civil their internal dialogue had drifted. The messages were filled with things like violent threats and racist slurs, and references to white supremacy.… Continue reading
‘It’s revolting’: More Young Republican chat members out of jobs as condemnation intensifies is a headline that unfortunately, doesn’t surprise anyone anymore. The core of this story is about the fallout from a POLITICO report that exposed a private Telegram chat among Young Republican members. This chat wasn’t just filled with political banter; it was a cesspool of racist slurs, hateful tropes, and even “jokingly” celebrating Adolf Hitler. The key point here is that it’s seemingly always the same story repeating.
The immediate consequence of the report was the loss of jobs for some of the chat members. Peter Giunta, who was the chair of the New York State Young Republicans when the chat was active, is no longer employed.… Continue reading
The current House Speaker, Mike Johnson, has seemingly prioritized rhetoric over legislative action, leaving the House out of session for extended periods. This strategy, which began well before mid-September, has drawn criticism from GOP members, despite the caucus’s history of unity. The reduced work schedule has not only delayed legislative progress, such as addressing expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies, but also hindered the swearing-in of a new Democratic representative, preventing a vote on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files. Such inaction, reminiscent of the “Do Nothing” Congress of 1948, is unlikely to be a sustainable strategy.
As the government shutdown persists, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia is diverging from many Republicans by supporting Affordable Care Act subsidies. This stance is drawing attention, particularly within her deep-red district, where many constituents rely on these subsidies. Interviews with voters in Floyd County reveal mixed but generally supportive reactions, with residents acknowledging the potential impact on access to health insurance and appreciating Greene’s perceived focus on her constituents’ needs. Supporters suggest this move indicates a practicality and a focus on addressing the needs of working Americans.
The Republican Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, expresses concerns about the potential for dictatorship in the United States, yet the article argues that the threat is arising from within his own party and that he is enabling it. Johnson has consistently defended Donald Trump’s actions, including calls for prosecuting political opponents and sending troops into American cities, dismissing any criticism or concerns. Despite Trump’s controversial behavior and actions, Johnson has remained steadfast in his support, often downplaying or justifying his actions, and voting in alignment with the former president. This behavior by the Speaker raises questions about the integrity of the government and a dangerous surrender of power.

Young Republicans Face Resignation Calls After “Vile” Chats Leak
Leaked chat messages obtained by Politico reveal racist, antisemitic, and misogynistic comments made by Young Republican leaders in several states, sparking condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans. The messages, which included derogatory language towards Black people and violent threats, have led to calls for the individuals involved to resign from their party positions. Both Democratic and Republican leaders have expressed their disgust with the offensive content, including Governor Kathy Hochul, who stated there need to be consequences for such behavior. Despite the apologies from some of those involved, there is little indication of a shift towards more civil political discourse in the future.
