A Striking Number of Children and Relatives of Democrat Politicians Are Running for Office in 2026 But ‘No Kings!’ or Something

For months now, Democrats and various other left wing activists have been holding ‘No Kings’ protests, but apparently that rule does not apply when it comes to family legacy political campaigns.

A surprising number of children and other relatives of Democrat politicians are running for office in the coming year. There are a couple of Republicans in the mix too, but it is mostly Democrats and remember, it is Democrats who have been trying to make the whole ‘No Kings’ narrative into a thing.

When did politics become such a common family business?

NBC News reports:

All in the family: In 2026, a surge of politicians’ kids are running for office

Dozens of members are nearing the end of their congressional careers and hanging up their voting cards.

But for some, their family’s political legacies will continue, as their kids and relatives run for office in 2026.

In the crowded Maine governor’s race alone, there are three contenders who are political scions: Democrat Angus King III, the son of independent Sen. Angus King; Democrat Hannah Pingree, the daughter of Rep. Chellie Pingree, D-Maine; and Republican Jonathan Bush, the nephew and cousin of the two Bush presidents.

While the trend is hardly new, this campaign cycle already features a number of notable races involving candidates who are related to former or current politicians.

In New Hampshire, retiring Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen’s daughter, Stefany Shaheen, has launched a bid for an open House seat. Across the country, former Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s daughter, Christine Pelosi, is running for a state Senate seat in California. And in Georgia, the son of former GOP Rep. Jack Kingston, Jim Kingston, is running for his dad’s old House seat.

Chellie Pingree said it has been both “heart-warming and terrifying” to watch her daughter, a former speaker of the Maine House of Representatives, enter the political arena. But she also said it’s only “natural” to see the next generation of public servants following in some of their parents’ footsteps.

Are American politics just becoming all about the grift?

Trump Posts Ominous Christmas Message Savaging Democrats who Visited Epstein Island – “Enjoy What May be Your Last Merry Christmas!”

President Trump on Thursday released another Christmas statement, slamming the Democrats over the Epstein controversy, which he described as a “Radical Left Witch Hunt.”

“Merry Christmas to all, including the many Sleazebags who loved Jeffrey Epstein, gave him bundles of money, went to his Island, attended his parties, and thought he was the greatest guy on earth, only to ‘drop him like a dog’ when things got too HOT,” Trump said of the Democrat politicians who associated with the late pedophile.

But now, the Democrats “blame, of course, President Donald J. Trump, who was actually the only one who did drop Epstein, and long before it became fashionable to do so,” he added.

Last month, President Trump signed the Epstein Files Transparency Act into law to release all files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, The Gateway Pundit reported. Last Friday, the Department of Justice released damning documents and photos of former President Bill Clinton, prompting multiple responses from his PR team, attempting to run cover for Slick Willy.

Trump’s statement continues, “There will be a lot of explaining to do, much like there was when it was made public that the Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax was a fictitious story – a total Scam – and had nothing to do with ‘TRUMP.’”

He further slammed the New York Times, which Trump sued in a $15 billion libel suit in September, for their dishonest reporting. “The same losers are at it again, only this time so many of their friends, mostly innocent, will be badly hurt and reputationally tarnished. But sadly, that’s the way it is in the World of Corrupt Democrat Politics!!!” Trump said.

“Enjoy what may be your last Merry Christmas!” he added ominously.

19 Blue States Sue Trump Admin to Preserve Right to Perform Child Sex Changes

A total of nineteen blue states are suing the Trump administration in a bid to protect the right to perform child sex changes.

Last week, Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he would cut off Medicare and Medicaid funding to any provider that offers so-called gender-affirming treatment to minors.

“Under my leadership, and answering President Trump’s call to action, the federal government will do everything in its power to stop unsafe, irreversible practices that put our children at risk,” Kennedy said at the time.

The Oregon-led lawsuit claims that the decision “exceeds the Secretary’s authority and violates the Administrative Procedure Act and the Medicare and Medicaid statutes.”

Oregon Attorney General Dayfield argued that child sex changes are an essential form of healthcare.

His office said in a press release:

Attorney General Dan Rayfield today led a coalition of 18 other states and the District of Columbia in suing to ensure the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) cannot threaten providers with a so-called declaration that baselessly and unlawfully attempts to limit a family’s ability to work with their providers to make the healthcare decisions without interference from the federal government.

The declaration falsely claims that certain forms of gender-affirming care are “unsafe and ineffective” and threatens to punish any doctors, hospitals, and clinics that continue to provide it with exclusion from the federal Medicare and Medicaid programs.

“By targeting Oregon providers, HHS is putting care at risk and forcing families to choose between their personal health care choices and their doctor’s ability to practice,” said Attorney General Rayfield.

“Healthcare decisions belong with families and their healthcare providers, not the government.”

Among the states signed up to the lawsuit are California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Wisconsin, Washington, and D.C.

DNC ‘drowning’ in nearly $16M of debt — and pointing fingers as failed 2024 Biden-Harris campaign haunts Dems

The Democratic Party’s principal fundraising committee saw donations slump in the second-to-last month of the year, recording just a $12 million campaign war chest and almost $16 million still in debt due to a loan taken out the previous month, Federal Election Commission filings show.

The fundraising doldrums come amid party infighting over whether to release a 2024 autopsy report on the failed Biden-Harris campaign and pressure ahead of the critical 2026 midterms, in which Democrats want to retake Congress.

The Democratic National Committee listed a little more than $12.6 million cash on hand, $10.7 million raised, and $15.9 million in debts in its FEC filing for November, with national Republicans accusing their opponents of “drowning” in their obligations to pay off bills.

That puts the DNC only a few hundred thousand dollars ahead of the Republican National Committee (RNC) for that month’s fundraising — but far behind the GOP’s $89.9 million cash on hand and lack of outstanding debts as both parties look ahead to the 2026 midterms.

From Nov. 1 to 30, the DNC actually lost roughly $6 million from its campaign war chest with spending having outpaced its donations. The month before, it had also raised $23 million — more than double its November haul.

Democrats Sweating Bricks After Clinton’s Epstein Ties Nuke Their Narrative

As PJ Media previously reported, the Justice Department has been releasing more from the Epstein files. Instead of the incriminating information about Trump, it was former President Bill Clinton’s long‑standing ties to Jeffrey Epstein that came under scrutiny again.

The tranche, released under the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Donald Trump, included photos of Clinton shirtless in a hot tub next to a person whose face is redacted as a victim, as well as images of him in a pool near Ghislaine Maxwell and socializing with Epstein and various celebrities.

Clinton’s office has responded with a sharply worded statement on X, accusing Trump’s White House of timing the Friday document dump to distract from its own problems and insisting the photos reveal nothing new about Clinton’s conduct.

“The White House hasn’t been hiding these files for months only to dump them late on a Friday to protect Bill Clinton,” Bill Clinton’s chief of staff, Angel Ureña, said in a statement shared on X Friday evening. “This is about shielding themselves from what comes next, or from what they’ll try and hide forever. So they can release as many grainy 20-plus-year-old photos as they want, but this isn’t about Bill Clinton. Never has, never will be. Even Susie Wiles said Donald Trump was wrong about Bill Clinton.”

Democrats were forced to discuss the photos on the Sunday shows, and naturally, it was quite embarrassing not just for Clinton but for the entire Democratic Party. Well, Ureña has released a new statement, and the panic from Clinton’s camp is very, very real.

In the statement, which was posted to X, Ureña claimed that “what the Department of Justice has released so far, and the manner in which it did so, makes one thing clear: someone or something is being protected,” adding, “We do not know whom, what or why.” He then sought to distance Clinton from any need for shielding, declaring, “We need no such protection.”

Sure, you don’t.

Ureña then called on President Trump to order Attorney General Pam Bondi “to immediately release any remaining materials referring to, mentioning, or containing a photograph of Bill Clinton.” The request was sweeping, covering “without limitation, any records that may exist and are subject to disclosure under the Act (Public Law 119-38 enacted Nov. 19, 2025), including grand jury transcripts, interview notes, photographs, and findings by the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York,” which Ureña noted had been “referenced under oath to Congress by President Trump’s first-term Attorney General.”

The statement closed with a warning that reeked of phony bravado. Any refusal to comply, Ureña said, would “confirm the widespread suspicion the Department of Justice’s actions to date are not about transparency, but about insinuation,” accusing the DOJ of “using selective releases to imply wrongdoing about individuals who have already been repeatedly cleared by the very same Department of Justice, over many years, under Presidents and Attorneys General of both parties.”

“Do You Know Who I Am?…You’re a D**k…I’m Going to Get You Motherf**ker” – Entitled Democrat Goes on Nasty Tirade After Getting Busted for Drunk Driving

An entitled Rhode Island Democrat went on a self-absorbed tirade before and after breaking the law in embarrassing fashion last week.

As The Daily Mail reported, 51-year-old Maria A. Bucci, the chairwoman of Cranston’s Democratic Committee, was charged with driving under the influence on December 18 after a traffic stop.

The Boston Globe obtained court documents that showed that police pulled Bucci, a former mayoral candidate, over for having “severely bloodshot, glassy and watery eyes.” They also detected “a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from inside the vehicle.”

However, Bucci apparently thought her Democratic privilege would shield her from trouble as she repeatedly told officers, “Do you know who I am?”

Not surprisingly, police recognized she was a figure of minor importance and proceeded to do their job. This only made Bucci angrier, as she proceeded to berate the officers in a vulgar manner.

Minnesota Dem Tearfully Apologizes To Somalians After They Were Busted Stealing Billions

A Minnesota Democratic state senator apologized to the state’s Somali population following allegations that Somalis were responsible for committing billions in fraud.

Organizer Asad Aliwed put together the event Dec. 12 at the Irshad Islamic Center in Eden Prairie, Minnesota, Eden Prairie Local News reported. Democratic state Sens. Ann Johnson Stewart and Steve Cwodzinski tearfully shared their apology and offered support to a mosque full of Somalians on Friday. They were accompanied by Eden Prairie Mayor Ron Case, who ran in a nonpartisan election.

“We are heartbroken by the horrible actions of our government, and we want you to know that at the state level, we will do all that we can to support you,” Stewart could be heard saying in a video shared by Somali TV of Minnesota.

“Whether you live in our district or not, we are here,” Stewart said through tears. “We are 100% committed to helping you. You are welcome here, you belong here and we are here for you. I apologize, I have to leave for another commitment.”

Unhinged Never-Trumper George Conway Officially Enters New York Congressional Race as Democrat After Coming Out as Antifa

Prominent anti-Trump lawyer George Conway filed to run for Congress in New York City on Monday.

According to Breitbart, citing a newly filed Statement of Organization with the Federal Election Commission (FEC), George Conway has established a principal campaign committee under the name “George Conway for Congress” to run in New York’s 12th congressional district as a Democrat.

The filing, dated December 22, 2025, designates the district currently represented by retiring Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-NY).

As of Monday morning, Conway’s campaign website remains under construction.

Conway, who resides in the elite Washington, D.C. suburb of Bethesda, Maryland, is set to carpetbag his way into representing one of Manhattan’s wealthiest and most liberal districts, encompassing iconic areas like Central Park, Times Square, and Rockefeller Center.

The 62-year-old Conway has fully embraced the radical left in recent years, ditching his conservative roots and becoming a staple on left-wing media outlets. He co-hosts a podcast on the anti-Trump Bulwark called “George Conway Explains It All,” where he obsessively rails against President Trump.

But Conway took his derangement to new heights in October when he was spotted at a “No Kings” anti-Trump rally wearing a shirt boldly proclaiming “I am Antifa” – just weeks after President Trump designated the violent extremist group as a domestic terrorist organization, according to the Daily Caller.

Nearly 100 Minnesota Mayors Send Panicked Letter to Lawmakers Complaining About Fraud Scandal and the Leadership of Tim Walz

Almost 100 mayors in the state of Minnesota have sent a letter to state lawmakers complaining about the fraud scandal and how it is going to impact the communities they serve.

They are clearly not happy with the leadership of Governor Tim Walz and his connections to the fraud scandal that has rocked the state in recent weeks.

The scandal is still unfolding and it’s unclear what the final tally will be, but it’s looking like something in the tens of billions.

It’s shaping up to be the largest theft of taxpayer dollars in American history. Is there any wonder why these mayors are nervous?

FOX News reports:

98 Minnesota mayors warn state fiscal policies are hurting cities, residents and local budgets

A group of 98 Minnesota mayors raised concerns with state leaders in a letter about their state’s fiscal policies, saying they have impacted their cities and residents, noting a disappearing $18 billion surplus and a projected $2.9 billion to $3 billion deficit for the 2028-29 biennium.

In a letter to state lawmakers and Gov. Tim Walz, the 98 mayors expressed concern and frustration, said the state was slipping in national economic rankings.

“Fraud, unchecked spending, and inconsistent fiscal management in St. Paul have trickled down to our cities—reducing our capacity to plan responsibly, maintain infrastructure, hire and retain employees, and sustain core services without overburdening local taxpayers,” the letter states.

Cities across the state now face workforce shortages, slowed business investment, rising operational and construction costs, and families choosing to leave Minnesota altogether, the letter states…

“There is a growing disconnect between state-level fiscal decisions and the strain they place on the cities we lead, the letter said. “When the state expands programs or shifts responsibilities without stable funding, it is our residents—families, seniors, businesses, and workers—who ultimately bear the cost.”

You can see the full letter here.

These mayors should have demanded that Tim Walz resign.

Democrats renew government shutdown threat as tensions flare with Trump

Senate Democrats are raising the threat of another government shutdown in late January as tensions with President Trump escalate over a series of recent maneuvers by the White House that Democrats say need a forceful response from Capitol Hill.

Senate Democrats walked away from a potential deal to fund a broad swath of the federal government, including the departments of Defense, Labor, Education, and Health and Human Services, which make up roughly two-thirds of the discretionary budget, before Congress adjourned for the Christmas recess.  

Democrats cited Trump’s threat to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., a leading government-funded center for atmospheric and climate research, as the reason they couldn’t advance a five-bill spending package before Christmas.

Had the legislation passed the Senate this past week, it would have given Congress a good chance of funding up to 85 percent to 90 percent of the federal government through September of next year and taken the threat of another shutdown off the table.

Instead, the shutdown threat remains very much alive, even though Democrats aren’t yet revealing their strategy ahead of the Jan. 30 government funding deadline.

Sen. John Hoeven (R-N.D.), who was involved in negotiations to get the spending package through the Senate, said that Democrats want to preserve their “leverage” by keeping the threat of another shutdown on the table.

“They want some leverage for the end of January,” Hoeven told The Hill, adding that he got the sense that Democrats weren’t ready to pass the funding package, even if funding for the atmospheric and climate center in Colorado didn’t blow up into a major issue.

Senate Democratic progressives aren’t ruling out the possibility that they will attempt to use the next funding deadline to demand major concessions from Trump.

“I’m not going to speculate,” said Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), who added that Democrats want to pass the regular appropriations bills but will wait to see what happens over the next several weeks.

A Democratic senator who requested anonymity to talk about the likelihood of a shutdown said that passing the five-bill spending package, which stalled in the Senate Thursday, would be critical to avoiding a shutdown.

The failure to advance the measure is a red flag warning that the chances of a shutdown are growing, lawmakers say.
