Carl Higbie torches the DSA, warning that “these wealthy brats will have us eating bugs while they fly private.” Rob Schmitt examines the new crop of DSA-aligned liberals and the movement’s growing electoral reach. Greg Kelly takes aim at Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, arguing that youth and looks can only take a politician so far before serious policy questions demand serious answers.
