A Fox News opinion piece by Jonathan Turley attacks the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) over a newly released policy platform, arguing that the group's growing influence within the Democratic Party represents a radical and dangerous shift. Turley frames the DSA's proposals, released on Bastille Day, as revolutionary rather than merely reformist, drawing a comparison to the French Jacobins and warning that such ideas could reshape American institutions and undermine the "American Dream".

The article highlights specific DSA proposals, including abolishing the US Senate and the Supreme Court, ending capitalism, and treating housing, food, education, energy, medicine and transport as common goods rather than commodities. Turley links this platform to the broader rise of socialist figures within Democratic politics and presents it as part of a wider trend of the left "reimagining" institutions such as policing, prisons and borders.
