First shots of the Democrat Civil War

The Democrat party is on the verge of mutiny after a group of left-wing Senators voted with Republicans to pass a Trump-endorsed spending bill over the weekend. The divide comes as the party is still struggling to regroup after its 2024 election loss.

Back up: On Saturday, ten Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, gave Republicans the necessary votes in the Senate to pass a six-month spending package and avoid a government shutdown — despite weeks of slamming the bill.

Democrat Civil War: Writing about Democrats for the last four years under Joe Biden, one thing I always gave them credit for was showing a united front — at least publicly. That is no longer the case:

• AOC: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez said there is a "deep sense of outrage and betrayal" and called the move "a huge slap in the face.”

• Hakeem Jeffries: Schumer's counterpart in the House threw shade at him in a statement saying "House Democrats will not be complicit" and repeatedly told reporters, "Next question" when asked about ousting the Senate Minority Leader.

• Nancy Pelosi: The former Speaker said, "Democrat senators should listen to the women [female lawmakers opposing the bill]... this legislation only makes matters worse."

• Radio host 'Charlamagne tha God' — who is a popular political voice on the left — said: “The Chuck Schumers of the world, the Hakeem Jeffries’s, they should all step down.”

AOC primary challenge: The backlash has led to whispers of having Rep. AOC run as a primary challenger against Schumer when his term ends in 2029.

• When Rep. Jasmine Crocket — another young progressive Democrat — was asked by CNN about the prospect, she did not directly answer but remarked: “I definitely think that younger, fresher leadership may be something that many of us… may be looking for it, especially in the state of New York.”

What voters think: Two new polls illuminated how far the Democrat party has fallen in the eyes of American voters:

• NBC News: 27% have a ‘positive’ view of Democrats — lowest in NBC history

• CNN: 29% have a ‘favorable’ view of Democrats — lowest in CNN history

Democrat voters don’t see a clear leader: When Democrat voters were asked which leader "best reflects" the party's "core values," not a single name received more than 10% support.

• Rep. AOC: 10%

• Kamala Harris: 9%

• Hakeem Jeffries: 6%

• Barack Obama: 4%

• Jasmine Crockett: 4%

Real talk from G: As I’ve said many times before, the Democrat Party is still punch-drunk from their loss in 2024. They have no strategy, no leaders, and no core values. Normally, I’d be inclined to say that a party civil war could be good for them—but in this case, it's radical progressives who want guys in girls’ locker rooms versus legacy swamp rats who only care about their own power and money. A strong MAGA movement can take on whichever side emerges victorious.

Trump declares Biden’s autopen pardons VOID. But can he…?

President Donald Trump declared that former President Biden’s preemptive pardons are “VOID” and may have been signed without Biden’s knowledge.

The details: In a post on Truth Social yesterday, President Trump wrote:

• “The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime.”

The key claim: Trump is not declaring that the use of autopen itself nullifies the pardons. He’s claiming that it was used without Joe Biden’s consent to hand out pardons to key anti-Trump allies.

Back up: In Biden’s final days in office, he pardoned people like Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Milley, the entire January 6 Committee, and Hunter Biden.

What is autopen? It's a mechanical device that replicates a person's signature, commonly used by U.S. presidents.

Past scandal: In 2011, then-President Barack Obama was criticized for using autopen to extend the Patriot Act.

Out of office: The Oversight Project reported that on December 30, 2022, autopen was used to pardon six criminals while Joe Biden was on vacation.

Zoom out: Democrats have essentially admitted that Joe Biden was not mentally fit for office when they executed a coup to replace him with Kamala Harris. So the question is: is it likely that the people really running the White House were using autopen to sign off on pardons without his knowledge? It’s possible.

Real talk from G: It seems unlikely that the Trump administration can prove the autopen was used without consent — because Biden can always just put out a statement saying he authorized the use. But my guess is that this is more about Trump letting the Fauci’s and the Milley’s of the world know that he has not forgotten about them. As Law 17 in Robert Greene’s 48 Laws of Power says: "Keep Others in Suspended Terror.”
