House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries' (D-N.Y.) members are breaking ranks and trying to shove aside older colleagues for top committee spots.Why it matters: The impending Trump administration has given some Democrats a foothold to argue that the party can't manage another two years under gerontocracy."There is growing anxiousness among younger members to get their chance," one senior House Democrat told Axios."Some of them need to be put out to pasture," a ranking House Democrat said of their party's committee leaders.The challengers aren't young either, but they're all going after Democratic committee leadership members in their late 70s.Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.), 60, is challenging Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.), 76, as ranking member of the House Natural Resources Committee. Grijalva announced a cancer diagnosis in April and said he won't seek reelection.Rep. Jim Costa (D-Calif.), 72, is trying to unseat Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.), 79, as the ranking member of the House Agriculture Committee. Scott's health has long been a concern and he has been absent the last two weeks.Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), 61, will announce Monday whether he runs to unseat Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), 77, as the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, Axios first reported.What they're saying: "I think the question we should all be asking ourselves is, 'Do we have people who are ready to roll up their sleeves and fight like hell?'" Rep. Delia Ramirez (D-Ill.) told Axios."In many of those instances you have the people already, and in others some people may not feel they do," she added.A senior House Democrat told Axios that "members are beginning to think that 2026 could be a 'change' year and want to get ahead of it."Said another House Democrat: "That feeling is almost universal from all colleagues I talk to, not just younger members."Between the lines: Some Democrats see this as a moment to strike on House GOP-style term limits for committee leaders."We may be seeing some shift in the norm of whether or not that gets you in hot water," said Rep. Bill Foster (D-Ill.), a champion of term limits.Foster said Dems recognized the "tremendous boost when Kamala Harris took over for Joe Biden" as the Democratic presidential nominee.Zoom out: One generational challenge has already failed, with Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) losing 152 to 59 in her bid to unseat Democratic Policy and Communications Committee chair Debbie Dingell (D-Mich.).Many lawmakers cast that race as unrepresentative of the trend, noting that Dingell spent months longer than Crockett locking down support.27-year-old Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-Fla.) was elected as a DPCC co-chair, becoming the first Gen Z congressional leader with an explicit pitch of modernizing the party's communications strategy.

Maryland Democratic Rep. Steny H. Hoyer says he originally voted for the measure because he agreed with its intention but the legislation needed a stronger appeals process for organizations targeted by the Treasury Department.

WASHINGTON — Just over a decade ago, the United Auto Workers union was instrumental in delivering a resounding Michigan victory for former President Barack Obama in his successful 2012 reelection bid.

Labor Day shouldn't be another time where we celebrate union power. It's supposed to be a workers' holiday, not one that commemorates union bosses destroying right-to-work laws.

The DNC presents Fox News Channel with a delicate challenge — how to cover a party suddenly enthused about its election chances when much of its audience has a different political view.

Tim Graham, director of media analysis for the conservative Media Research Center, said Fox programs to its audience in much the same way that Nicolle Wallace and Rachel Maddow say they won't show Trump because of concerns that he'll lie, "but it's because they don't want to watch it."

The ascension of Kamala Harris to the top of the Democratic ticket has bolstered the party's chances of keeping control of the White House for another four years, but the effect on House races is much less clear. Since replacing President Biden as the Democrats' likely nominee, the vice president has delivered a bolt of [...]

A federal judge said that Rudy Giuliani's bankruptcy has not been officially dismissed because the former New York City mayor has refused to pay administrative expenses — even though he seems to have the funds to do so.In July, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Sean Lane said he would dismiss the bankruptcy case at the request of Giuliani and two former Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss. Giuliani had initially declared bankruptcy after a court ordered him to pay Freeman and Moss $148 million for defamation.In a five-page order on Thursday, Lane noted that the order to dismiss the case had not been entered into the court record because Giuliani claimed he could not afford to pay related administrative expenses."The administrative expenses in question are the fees for the financial advisors retained by the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors," the judge's Thursday order said. "What little we know about the Debtor's financial situation makes his stance here more troubling.""Even assuming that the Debtor does not have the funds on hand to immediately pay these bankruptcy expenses, he certainly has considerable assets upon which he can draw to pay such expenses," Lane continued. "It is undisputed that he owns two apartments of considerable value."Giuliani's New York apartment was said to be worth $5.6 million, and his Florida apartment was valued at approximately $3.5 million.EXCLUSIVE: Trump ‘secretary of retribution’ won't discuss his ‘target list’ at RNCLane explained that the "most obvious path forward" would be to hold hearings to determine Giuliani's financial conditions and possibly force him to testify."[T]here may come a point when dismissal is no longer an option because the Debtor is unwilling to pay these administrative expenses, a necessary requirement under the law for dismissal of the case," Thursday's order said. "Under such circumstances, the Court may be forced to reevaluate the alternative of a Chapter 11 trustee to supervise the administration of the Debtor's financial affairs and to promptly liquidate assets such as the New York apartment as appropriate."Lane gave Giuliani and his creditors until July 31 to submit proposals for a path forward.

A GOP strategist unleashed an attack on Kamala Harris that was dripping in sarcasm Thursday after losing his cool over positive media coverage of the Democratic Party’s presumed presidential candidate.Doug Heye was on CNN as the vice president finished a rally speech in Houston. As his co-guest, Democratic Party strategist Maria Cordona, finished praising the candidate’s performance, Heye got flustered.Raising his voice, he said, “Everything we heard is 'Oh my god, Kamala Harris is the greatest thing ever. She's the greatest cook that we've ever had near the Oval Office. She knows more about wine than anybody other than maybe Thomas Jefferson. Everything she does is amazing.'“So we should just cancel the election because clearly she's going to win by 25 points?”He then tried to bring the CNN panel back from what he saw as rose-colored adoration.ALSO READ: ‘Creepy weirdos’: Senator fears Trump WH staff would destroy government from ‘inside’“The reality is, i'm not going to get in Donald Trump's head, don't want to be there, don't know what's in there. But he sees the same polling that we do," he said.“Kamala Harris is marginally less unpopular than Joe Biden. She's not winning in the polls. Maybe that changes in a week or two, or six or eight, but at this point, Donald Trump is still winning despite this barrage of nothing but positive press for Kamala Harris and has been marinated in the public's mind.”Cardona had set him off by suggesting that Trump was “going through a mental meltdown” because of his opponent's popularity.“Not just that she is incredibly accomplished as DA, AG, senator, VP,” she said, “but the fact that she is also very attractive. I mean, I have to say it.“...In addition to that, she's not only a woman, she's a woman of African American Asian descent, daughter of immigrants, Jamaican descent.I mean, it's it's this sort of cauldron of all of the things that Trump has nightmares about every single night.”Watch the video below or click the link here.
