DSA Surge Meets Democratic Alarm: The Left’s 2026 House Push Is Here

Today's lead: Democratic socialist candidates are making inroads in 2026 House primaries — and the explosive revelation that Alex Bores' father celebrated Israeli deaths and equated Zionists with Nazis has detonated a new front in the NY-12 race, even as top Dems at the JDCA summit publicly worried about the party's pro-Israel credentials. Also tracking Israel's decision to sue the New York Times over the Kristof 'dog rape' column that's migrated from a Rutgers commencement speaker to the paper of record, and Iran's nuclear stockpile — the Energy Secretary calls it 'frighteningly close' to weapons-grade despite the ceasefire. In the wire: Rand Paul's son goes antisemitic at Rep. Lawler, a white supremacist is sentenced to 15 years for plotting to poison NYC Jewish children, and Britain begins legislating against Iranian-backed proxies behind the antisemitism wave.
