Speaking of freeloading influencers, Jack Schlossberg’s congressional campaign is going exactly as expected. The New York Times reports that the Kennedy scion—charitably described as a “first-time candidate with little traditional work experience”—rarely shows up to campaign meetings and often disappears “for long stretches with little notice or explanation.” His staff is a mess, in part because he keeps firing people and neglecting to tell them.

In this week’s Stiles Section, the latest on Democrat absurdity in Texas, California and New York. @AndrewStilesUSA writes: In Texas, a demented sex therapist has a real shot at winning the Democratic nomination for Congress in the newly created 35th district comprising parts of San Antonio. Maureen Galindo advanced to a run-off after receiving nearly 30 percent of the vote in the Democratic primary despite barely running a campaign. A Free Beacon review of her social media activity found a litany of antisemitic rants that were quite shocking—even by the standards of the modern Democratic Party. In addition to complaining about the Jews who “own Hollywood” and “worship Satan,” Galindo suggested that—unlike most Democratic anti-Semites—she would never take money from George Soros, the left-wing Jewish billionaire. Asked for comment, Galindo told the Free Beacon that “billionaire Zionists and their puppet journalists are FAKE Jews who create antisemitism to harm and harvest off the real Jews.” If the past 10 years of American politics are any indication, Galindo will win the primary and the general election to become the deciding vote in the Democrats’ narrow House majority after the midterms. In any event, this would be one of the dumbest possible outcomes, so why bet against it? Now here’s a look at what Democrats have been up to in the places where they actually hold power:

What should Democrats do to wrest power back from Republicans? Kamala Harris has an idea: a “no bad ideas brainstorm” in which Democrats “talk about what we need to do and think about doing around the Electoral College.” “We talk about the idea of Supreme Court reform, which includes expanding the Supreme Court. We invite a conversation about multi-members districts … let’s talk about statehood for Puerto Rico and D.C.,” she said during a Win with Black Women “emergency virtual meeting.” These ideas and more are likely coming to a debate stage near you in 2028.

Kennedy scion Jack Schlossberg, the Nancy Pelosi-endorsed candidate for New York’s influential 12th Congressional District, launched his campaign with a “carefully choreographed plan” to show he’s “a serious candidate” by calling “frenzied media outlets” and a “roster of wealthy donors”—then abruptly changed that plan because “he needed a nap” and “effectively disappeared for the day,” the New York Times reported. Apparently, living off of trust funds worth millions of dollars while making no money of your own is tiring work.

“I think it’s pretty obvious that there is a progressive bent to Wikipedia. It really can’t be argued,” Wikipedia cofounder Larry Sanger told the Free Beacon. “Wikipedians are very good at playing a certain game, the game of using Wikipedia policy to the benefit of your own cause. This sort of thing just encapsulates a common problem on Wikipedia. I've heard literally hundreds of stories like this before.”

Left-wing congressional candidate Adam Hamawy maintained a yearslong friendship with terrorist mastermind Omar Abdel-Rahman—otherwise known as the “Blind Sheikh”—and Wikipedia editors are fighting to keep their relationship off of Hamawy’s page, @LevineJonathan reports.

The Israeli government may need to deploy some creative legal maneuvering to reach that stage: The government itself is unlikely to be a plaintiff, and Kristof’s piece did not name any specific Israelis as responsible for the purported abuse, meaning Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may need to argue that the piece pointed the finger at him for “failing to act properly to restrain it,” explained veteran First Amendment lawyer Rod Smolla.

The pressure on the Times over Kristof’s dog rape “bombshell” intensified on Thursday when Israel announced it will sue the newspaper and Kristof for defamation. While the Times has already issued two separate statements defending the piece, media reporters are questioning what type of internal review was conducted prior to publication and why the Times newsroom hasn’t followed up with a news story on the sensational allegations, our @Kredo0 writes.
