DNC Union Launched A GoFundMe To Support Furious Laid Off Staffers

The Democratic National Committee (DNC) union has launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise $25,000 for staffers laid off following significant election losses.

As of now, the campaign has raised $16,000, but the union’s frustration with DNC leadership is evident, with many criticizing the lack of severance pay for the workers who dedicated hours to electing Democrats.

Peter Doocy reported on “Fox & Friends” Monday morning, highlighting the union’s statements and their ongoing efforts to support the laid-off staffers. “The organizer of this DNC union GoFundMe says we are heartbroken to see our colleagues who dedicated countless hours to electing Democrats up and down the ballot depart under these circumstances, and we are furious with DNC leadership for failing to provide severance to those affected as they fundraise,” Doocy said.

The union’s frustration stems from what they view as a lack of support from the DNC, both financially and emotionally, in the wake of the election losses.

As Doocy pointed out, the campaign’s organizers are hopeful that additional funds will come from either the DNC or unemployment assistance, but that possibility remains uncertain.

Steve Doocy raised a point of concern, questioning how the layoffs were handled considering the DNC’s recent election defeat. “Peter, got a quick question for you, given the fact that the Democrats had an epic loss in the race for that building behind you, the DNC union people didn’t see layoffs coming where they were going to get one day’s notice,” he asked.

Peter Doocy responded, clarifying that the DNC union staff had not expected the layoffs to occur so suddenly and with minimal notice. “Doesn’t sound like it. No, and they are about $16,000 of a $25,000 goal. It doesn’t seem like there that people who donated a lot of money for months, even just 10, $15 at a time, on those recurring payments that you get the text messages about constantly in an election season,” Doocy explained.

“It doesn’t seem like there’s much of an appetite for people to open their wallets again for that, or for the Harris campaign that now needs Tim Walz to go out and ask for help.”

The DNC’s financial struggles may signal broader challenges within the party, as the union’s GoFundMe campaign remains relatively stagnant.

The union’s reliance on donations from past supporters, many of whom donated during the election season, appears to be insufficient in meeting their immediate needs.

Ainsley Earhardt joined the conversation, raising concerns about the number of people affected by the layoffs. “How many people were fired? I know it was two-thirds. Do we know the exact numbers? I feel like $25,000 to help people pay their rents and their bills is not that much if it’s hundreds of people,” Earhardt asked.

Peter Doocy responded by explaining that the union sees the $25,000 goal as a temporary solution, noting that they are hopeful for further financial support either from the DNC or from unemployment assistance programs. “They’re saying that the $25,000 is temporary, because they still think they’re going to be able to get some kind of money out of DNC or some kind of employment unemployment assistance, and so it’s temporary,” Doocy said. “They had a protest at Union Station yesterday. It was pretty small.”

The layoffs and the GoFundMe campaign are part of a larger narrative surrounding the Democratic Party’s struggle to regain footing after a difficult election cycle.

As the DNC grapples with financial and organizational issues, questions are arising about how they plan to recover and what steps, if any, they will take to address the concerns of their laid-off staffers.

In the broader political landscape, discussions surrounding President-elect Donald Trump’s appointments and the potential for new initiatives are gaining attention.

As Doocy mentioned, “The Trump team is filling out their cabinet. The President-Elect is reportedly trying to place Kash Patel in a high-ranking DOJ or FBI job. And Elon Musk, who is hiring right now with Vivek Ramaswamy for the DOGE government waste project, is said to be on the lookout for an AI Czar.”

Libs Eat Each Other Alive on Piers Morgan Cat Fight

How much faith do you put in political polling? How closely do the results of important political elections match the predictions put out by pollsters and pundits? That’s what’s on a lot of voters’ minds as, once again, Donald Trump beat expectations and predictions, winning the presidency by a wider margin than polls predicted. 

Al Jazeera notes that it appears that pollsters undercounted and under-weighted Trump support just as they seemed to have done in the 2016 presidential election. “Yet eventually, Trump cruised to a comfortable victory, defying most polls,” wrote Shola Lawal. One wonders if the personal liberal  bias found in academia is also present among professional pollsters. 

That leftist tilt in media is beyond dispute. And in the more leftist outlets such as National Public Radio, the bias is so stark as to be laughable. At the cost of his job, NPR veteran editor Uri Berliner found that there was not a single registered Republican of the 87 reporters and editors in NPR’s D.C. offices. 

Election prognosticator Allan Lichtman, a historian, got a lot of media attention this presidential cycle as he usually does. Lichtman, a liberal, has a system for predicting the results of elections based on what he calls 13 “keys” to the White House. While he has correctly predicted nine of the last 10 presidential elections, his record took a hit in 2024 when he confidently predicted a Kamala Harris victory.

Leftist podcaster Cenk Uygur of the show The Young Turks castigated Lichtman during an appearance both of them made on Piers Morgan’s show “Uncensored.” During the heated exchange, Uygur told Lichtman his “keys were absurd,” and that he got it all wrong. Lichtmann reacted immediately, yelling that he was “not wrong!” and that he, Lichttman, had more support than Uygur from online fans. 

From there, it devolved into a teen-girl cat fight, complete with pointing fingers and huffing and puffing. Collin Rugg has some fun with it on X/Twitter:

So did Rugg’s followers:

Yes, yes, Liberacrat, I do enjoy it.

Donald Trump Won A Jail Precinct Despite Losing by 94 Points in 2020

Donald Trump was wildly popular among police officers in Chicago – and surprisingly, he also won the prisoner vote in at least one jail.

Trump won the Chicago Cook County Jail Precinct despite having lost it by a whopping 94 percentage points in 2020.

The jail is one of the few in the country to offer in-person voting, and often surpasses Chicago’s general turnout. Inmates are entitled to vote, having been able to do so since the turn of the decade.

Four years ago, the precinct voted overwhelmingly for Joe Biden, with the Democrat securing 96% of the vote compared to 2% for Trump. In 2024, however, Trump beat rival Kamala Harris, amassing 49% to the Vice President’s 47%.

Trump made a major part of his early campaign highlighting what he and supporters deemed to be political persecution. He was indicted four times in 2023, at federal, state and county level. Social media commentors speculated that this may have boosted his popularity among convicted felons who also believe to be a victim of an unjust justice system, showcased best by the infamous mugshot.

Others were not surprised that a former prosecutor performed so poorly among inmates.

Donald Trump’s Largest Election Gains Will Surprise You

For much of the election campaign, the nation’s attention was solely on seven battleground states – Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. They were areas which received the most attention from both Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, as winning a majority would secure the presidency.

Ultimately, Trump would win all seven battleground states, and see gains in 49 states across the country. Yet, despite devoting much of his time, effort, and financial resources towards just 14% of the country, the President-elect saw his largest gains in traditional Democrat heartlands.

In fact, the seven battlegrounds did not even feature in the top ten pro-Trump swings nationwide.

The President-elect saw gains in traditional Republican heartlands. His support went up by 6.5 percentage points in Tennessee, while he enjoyed an 8.3-point boost in Texas. Florida, his home state, voted so overwhelmingly for Trump that most networks called it the second polls closed – no wonder, perhaps, given a 9.8-point boost in the state.

Intriguingly, Trump saw a major increase in support in California – Harris’ home state where she spent much of her political career. Despite losing the Democrat stronghold, Trump gained 8.4 points compared to 2020. The Republican also gained by double digits in New Jersey (10.1) and New York (11.5).

Many on social media highlighted the significance of Trump’s nationwide gains.

Others were surprised by the major shift for New Jersey.

Jocelyn Benson Ally Marc Elias Attempting to Overturn Pennsylvania Election Results

Just two months ago, a beaming Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson appeared on a “Defending Democracy” podcast with Democratic attorney Marc Elias to discuss concerns about certifying the 2024 election. “We’ll get the results certified,” Benson told Elias, the man best known as the mastermind behind the “Steele dossier” that fueled the Russia collusion hoax against Donald Trump. “What will happen, also, is there will be legal consequences” for local officials who refuse.

“I think it’s going to be much harder legally, practically, realistically for anyone to not certify and get away with it,” Benson, a former hate crimes investigator for the disgraced Southern Poverty Law Center, told Elias. “If they don’t like the election results, we’ll be there the minute, the second it happens.”

Fast forward to now, and Elias is leading an effort to overturn the election results in Pennsylvania, where The Associated Press has already called the U.S. Senate race for Republican Dave McCormick.

“The Pennsylvania Senate race is not over,” Elias posted to X on Thursday. “More soon.” “Election day has past (sic), but the fight for democracy continues. Here is some of what my firm has been up to:” Elias posed in a follow up on Saturday. “Thursday: Intervened against rightwing lawsuit in Pennsylvania.” In other posts, Elias pointed to a statement from the Pennsylvania Department of State that shows “at least 100,000 ballots remaining to be adjudicated” and Republican Senate candidate Dave McCormick’s 32,000 vote lead over Democrat Bob Casey.

Former Obama Speechwriter: Internal Polling Had Trump Winning Over 400 Electoral Votes vs. Biden

There’s no debate as to whether Donald Trump would have beaten President Joe Biden in the 2024 Presidential Election.

Biden’s dismal debate in June – the earliest two de facto presidential nominees have faced off in an election – led to an internal coup which forced the President out. Publicly, he resigned on his own terms; privately, however, was a different story.

The Democrats tried to frame Biden’s departure as a veteran politician making way for a younger candidate. They seemed reluctant to admit that Biden was too old for the job, until more and more concerned campaigners publicly called for him to go. Yet, the loyal majority continued to promote the idea that the President was a strong candidate, even though internal polling suggested a bleak outlook.

Former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau revealed on his Pod Save America podcast that internal polls had a Biden defeat with Trump garneting over 400 Electoral College votes – a wipeout of near-Reaganesque proportions.

Describing Biden’s decision to stand again, Favreau said “He and his inner circle, they refuse to believe the polls. They refused to believe he was unpopular. They refuse to acknowledge until very late that anyone could be upset about inflation. And they just kept telling us that his presidency was historic and it was the greatest economy ever. We just heard him again say that it’s the greatest economy ever. Clearly, 7-80 percent of voters don’t believe that. They don’t believe that about their own personal financial situation, but they just keep telling us that.”

Fevreau continued:

And then after the debate, the Biden people told us that the polls were fine and Biden was still the strongest candidate. They were privately telling reporters at the time that Kamala Harris couldn’t win. So, they were shivving Kamala Harris to reporters while they told everyone else, not a time for an open process. And his vice president can’t win, so he’s the strongest candidate. Then we find out when the Biden campaign becomes the Harris campaign, that the Biden campaign’s own internal polling at the time when they were telling us he was the strongest candidate, showed that Donald Trump was going to win 400 electoral votes. That’s what their own internal polling said.

While Democrats lying is no story, the extent to which Trump was positioned to crush Biden is historic.

Some on social media were critical of Biden’s decision to withdraw so late into the campaign.

Some were still skeptical about Favreau’s claims.

NBC: GOP Now More Diverse Under Trump: “This Has Been the Movement”

Imagine for a moment you’re the Democrats, and your rallying cry for the last eight years has been Donald Trump is “racist” and a “Nazi,” only to discover that one of your own leftist media mouthpieces are openly admitting that the Republican Party has become “more diverse than it’s ever been in modern times” under Trump’s leadership.

Well, that’s what happened when NBC News National Political Correspondent Steve Kornacki explained how Trump won the election.

Speaking with “Meet The Press” moderator Kristen Welker, Kornacki noted how minority groups have shifted toward the GOP while Democrats have attracted more white liberals.

Kornacki said Trump “did it by transforming the Republican Party. It is now more diverse than it’s ever been in modern times, and certainly much more than when Donald Trump first came on the scene eight years ago.”

Within the backdrop of election statistics, Kornacki analyzed the results from “pre-Trump” in 2012 compared to now.

The data shows that an increasing number of voters aged 30, those with an income of less than $50,000 and no college degree, have gravitated to the GOP.

Kornacki highlighted what will undoubtedly become the Democrat’s worst nightmare – the Republican Party is becoming more diverse.

“Again, pre-Trump versus now,” he began.

“The black vote is still overwhelmingly Democratic, but that’s a 15-point shift. It used to be 87 points for the Democrats, down to 72. How about this?”

“You’ve heard a lot about it this week. This is what the numbers look like. Hispanic voters were 44 points Democratic before Donald Trump,” he added.

“Now, basically a toss-up constituency. And Asian Americans, a 32-point shift there as well. That’s what’s happened to the Republican Party since Donald Trump became its standard bearer eight years ago. This has been the movement.”

However, the story is the “opposite” for the Democratic Party.

The result shows more white voters earning more than $100,000 are turning blue.

Kornacki pointed out that Trump’s “giant strides” in blue states like California are significant, not to mention the fact he became the first Republican to win the popular vote in 20 years,

Welker did note that while the results are in and “they’re not going to change,” counting is still happening in some places.

“Yeah. I mean, if you remember from 2020, it took about a month till we got all the national popular votes,” Kornacki said.

“And let me just show you, nationally here, one thing we’re waiting on, big — we know California is a Harris state. But as I said, still some votes to come: 75% is in. That means there are millions more votes just from California.”

“And there are other states like this. A lot of it has to do with vote by mail, those ballots taking a long time for some of these states,” he added.

“So when you look at where the current popular vote stands, you know, you’ve got there — probably another 10 million or so, when all is said and done, are going to be added to this.”

“They’re Eating The Cats” Allowed Donald Trump To Win Springfield For the First Time

A notable moment of the election campaign was the cat-eating allegations surrounding Haitian migrants in the town of Springfield, OH.

The story circulated across social media the day before the only presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, with the former even mentioning it during the debate itself.

Whether the allegations were true or not was the subject to much debate. The Democrats and even the Republican Mayor of Springfield said there was no evidence, but residents had raised concerns about “pretty horrid” incidents involving pets and migrants six months before it became a national story. Regardless, the allegations drew attention to countless other issues that Haitian migrants brought to Springfield.

The liberal media tried to make the narrative that Trump’s promotion of the story during the debate could have hindered his campaign a reality, and Harris’ reaction suggested she believed it would.

And despite liberals trying to repurpose this story for their own agenda, the townspeople of Springfield voted overwhelmingly for the President-elect in record numbers – making the first time in modern recorded history Springfield has voted for a Republican.

Trump’s remarks – even if astounding – brought attention to the issue of migrant crime and overwhelming immigration figures. It also gave hope to a town which felt neglected by the federal government.

If anything, “they’re eating the cats!” – which sparked musical remixes and memes galore – struck a chord with voters across the country as to Trump’s plans to deal with illegal immigration.

Results Show Donald Trump Accelerated Shift of Arab-Americans in America’s Muslim Capitol

Former President Donald Trump’s two-point shift to victory in Michigan from his 2020 result in the state came in the midst of a regression to the mean in historic Democrat-turnout — and a sea-change in how Michigan’s sizable Muslim and Arab-American population punched the ticket. 

As the country as a whole shifted toward Trump, and Trump took Michigan, along with every other swing state, Michigan’s Muslim population cast votes for Trump in record numbers. The Muslim and Arab-American-heavy Detroit suburbs of Hamtramck, Dearborn, and Dearborn Heights showed tectonic shifts from 2020, as well as from the 2022 midterms.

Trump won Dearborn and Dearborn Heights with around 42.5 and 44% respectively compared with 24% and 36% respectively in 2020. Compared with the wider Wayne County 8.5-point shift to Trump, Detroit’s Muslim and Arab suburbs broke to Trump by double digits. In Hamtramck, Trump garnered a whopping 42% compared with Harris’ 46% performance there. Biden took Hamtramck by 72 points in

Imprisoned Michael Avenatti Flips View On Trump Following Electoral Victory

Stormy Daniels’ former lawyer Michael Avenatti has congratulated Donald Trump on his win in the 2024 Presidential Election.

Avenatti, a star in Netflix’s “Pepsi, Where’s My Jet?”, offered his best wishes to the President-elect despite repeated criticism throughout his first term in the White House.

Avenatti is currently serving 19 years at the Federal Correctional Institution, Terminal Island, for an array of crimes. His sentences include 2.5 years for an extortion plot against Nike, four years for defrauding porn star Stormy Daniels, and 14 years for defrauding clients and the federal government.

In what some saw as a desperate attempt at a presidential pardon, Avenatti said on social media, “Congratulations to President Trump on his unprecedented, dominant result. There is no denying his instincts, toughness, and resiliency.”

Many were convinced that the disgraced lawyer was seeking a presidential pardon from Trump.

Others wondered how he was able to post on social media from prison.
