ANY ELECTED OFFICIAL UNWILLING TO VOTE FOR SECURE ELECTIONS SHOULD MAKE YOU WONDER HOW THEY GOT ELECTED:

NY-13’S NEXT CONGRESSCRITTER: Deleted tweets on Darializa Avila Chevalier’s account had favorable references to communist leaders and Marxism.

Darializa Avila Chevalier, the Democratic congressional nominee endorsed by New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who ousted longtime Rep. Adriano Espaillat in Tuesday’s primary, maintained a since-deleted Twitter account with repeated sympathetic references to communism, Marxist ideology and Soviet figures, including Vladimir Lenin.

Avila Chevalier, a sociology PhD student whose victory sent shockwaves throughout the Democratic establishment, has been under fire for a since-deleted Twitter account, previously reported by CNN, that included phrases such as “seize the means of production,” along with calls to abolish police, prisons and borders. Other controversial tweets include one that said Black and Arab men are both “Fetishizing ugly colonizer women” and another that described wiping her dirty hands on the American flag in lieu of a napkin.

As an undergraduate, Avila Chevalier attended Columbia University, where she organized with Students for Justice in Palestine, and after graduation became involved in pro-Palestinian campus protests over Israel’s war in Gaza. She also attended a controversial October 8, 2023, pro-Palestinian rally in Times Square — one day after Hamas’ attack on Israel — that featured speeches and rhetoric praising the attack.

She previously told CNN, “I have grown considerably in the years since these tweets, and I am focused on our community and our community’s future.”

Translation: Still a commie.

HIS THINKING HAS EVOLVED, AS THEY SAY: Gavin Newsom — once a capitalist, now a socialist.

Newsom is calling for a national tax on billionaires and Americans worth more than $100 million.

He wants to end the “tax-free lifestyle loan” — a feature of the current tax code that lets the ultra-wealthy borrow against their stock portfolios while reporting no taxable income, then pass appreciated assets to their children with the gains untaxed.

He wants to rewrite inheritance rules so that the state can take another cut of the trillions that rich people want to give to others.

He wants to create a national public equity fund giving Americans a stake in gains from artificial intelligence.

In plain English, he wants Washington to tax, redistribute and socialize more of the American economy.

With Newsom sitting on top of it all, redistributing to the well-connected.

IT LOOKS LIKE “UNIVERSAL” SUFFERING, YES:

REMEMBER “MODERATE JOE” RETURNING US TO NORMALCY? YEAH, ME NEITHER: ‘Fully substantiated’: Report says Biden leaders pushed ‘gender’ rule on schools despite court order.

Department spokesperson Amelia Joy told The College Fix the Biden administration showed a “complete disregard” for Title IX, and instead “continued to implement its radical gender identity agenda through what appears to be coercion and intimidation of Federal employees.”

The “clear statutory purpose of Title IX [is] to protect the rights of women and girls, and to prevent sex-based discrimination,” Joy said in a recent email.

She praised the whistleblower in the department’s Office for Civil Rights who came forward with the evidence. An Office of Special Counsel investigation substantiated the whistleblower’s allegations in a report published earlier this month.

“Based on the Department’s investigation and OSC’s substantiation, the Department is taking remedial actions to correct any abuses imposed on Department employees by prior Administration officials,” Joy told The Fix.

Those named in the investigation include Catherine Lhamon, former assistant secretary of civil rights under the Biden administration. Lhamon left the office in January 2025 and is currently the inaugural director of UC Berkeley Law’s Edley Center on Law and Democracy.

PRIORITIES:

WORK ON THE FIRST ONE, AND THE REST TEND TO FALL INTO PLACE: Gen Z is afraid to drink, date, marry or have kids.

Not-so-rebellious teenagers are not experimenting with alcohol, reports Monitoring the Future, which has been tracking trends for decades. “In the mid-1970s, 92 percent of 12th graders had tried at least a sip of alcohol; by 2025, that proportion had fallen almost by half, to 47 percent,” writes Brooks.

Anxious young people prefer digital messaging to face-to-face interaction, writes Brooks. Most say that strangers are untrustworthy.

Teens and young adults are less likely to say they hope to marry some day, he writes. “In 1980, 90 percent of 35-year-old men were married; today, the rate is 60 percent and falling fast.”

Maybe it’s too safe: “The world is safer than it used to be, writes Brooks. But young people don’t see it that way.”

THE CHANGE YOU VOTED FOR:

THAT THING THAT NEVER HAPPENS HAPPENED AGAIN IN COLORADO: RNC sues Jena Griswold over ‘never-resident’ overseas voters.

The Republican National Committee on Friday filed suit in Denver District state court against Secretary of State Jena Griswold, challenging her office’s policy of allowing overseas voters who have never set foot in Colorado to cast ballots in state elections.

Filed just four days before Colorado’s primary election, the suit argues Griswold’s implementation of the state’s overseas voter law runs headlong into the Colorado Constitution’s residency requirement.

Griswold is also a candidate for Colorado attorney general in the June 30 Democrat primary.

“Residency is not inherited and cannot be established by proxy,” the complaint reads. “An individual who has never personally made Colorado his or her home has not ‘resided in this state’ within the meaning of Article VII of the Colorado Constitution.”

Griswold’s office claims that “if you are a United States citizen who has never lived in the United States, you can register to vote in Colorado if your parent, legal guardian, spouse, or domestic partner was a resident of Colorado before leaving the United States.”

The complaint argues that allowing residency for voting to pass by proxy through a parent or spouse is unconstitutional, regardless of what the legislature or the secretary of state says.

Exit quote: The numbers at stake aren’t trivial. Plaintiffs cite U.S. Election Assistance Commission numbers showing Colorado counted 32,072 overseas ballots in the 2020 election, of which ‘only 27.5%’ were for uniformed service members.”

Of the partisan party hacks serving as secretaries of state around the country, Griswold is among the worst of the worst. So of course she’s running for attorney general in tomorrow’s primary.
