Senator Barrasso warns that Democratic Socialists aim to dismantle U.S. institutions

On the Senate floor, Republican Sen. John Barrasso warned that the Democratic Socialists of America have become the dominant force within the Democratic Party, pushing an agenda to dismantle the Constitution and major institutions such as the Senate, the presidency, and the Supreme Court. He referenced one outlet's interview where the co-chair of the DSA reportedly affirmed plans to abolish ICE, eliminate borders, defund the military, and place private companies under government control.

Barrasso further argued that these policies have already influenced Democratic votes, citing a recent block of defense funding. He connected the movement’s anti-Israel stance to New York City’s mayor calling for the arrest of Israel’s prime minister by the International Criminal Court. The senator concluded by urging Republicans to defend constitutional safeguards, borders, law enforcement, and military strength.
