Liberal groups are organizing against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, whom progressives criticize as too close with corporate donors, too supportive of Israel and too weak to effectively oppose President Trump. wapo.st/3VdtOPk

I’m sure @RepPressley would have had the votes today to impeach Hegseth, and if you agree, please sign the petition.
If you believe Ayanna Pressley should be the next Speaker of the House, sign below!
Ayanna is an incredible leader. She was part of the 2018 election where I had the honor to meet her. She would be incredibly effective in this role.

If the prevailing argument for elevating someone as corrupt as Hakeem Jeffries to Speaker is the historic significance of the first black Speaker, imagine instead electing someone who exists at the intersection of two of the most deeply entrenched forms of oppression in this country, a Black woman who also happens to be a fiercely effective & principled leader. @AyannaPressley

This is the most "put me in coach" post I've ever read
It's happening folks
Madam Speaker Ayanna Pressley
Republicans have been flooding the zone with lawlessness, cruelty, & corruption.
And Democrats have a mandate to match their energy—boldly & unapologetically.
It's not enough to be the adults in the room. We have to prove that we are the FIGHTERS in the room.

This is HUGE. Warner is a moderate and the Vice Chair of the Senate Democratic caucus. If *he* is turning against Schumer, I don't see how Chuck becomes majority leader

18 years after I coined the term — and correctly predicted it would become the most significant dynamic in U.S. politics — are the Democrats finally serious about mitigating the #RuthlessnessGap?

Trump did go on a rant to @Douthat60 about the 2020 election being stolen, and CBS decided not to air it. Perhaps DNC should sue? Isn’t that the new norm?
Trump went all in on a new Big Lie, this time about the 2026 midterms. None of this should come as a surprise. I warned about it on my podcast on Sunday.
But you wouldn’t have known it from watching “60 Minutes” that same night. democracydocket.com/opinion/…

Tonight the House voted 211-204 to shelve Hegseth's impeachment.
And 11 Democrats didn’t show up to vote.
They would have made the difference. And made America one step closer to safer and more secure. But on the night before Veterans Day, they were AWOL.
Here they are.
Democrats, not a good start here.
Get your shit together. Fast.

Democrats will have a 56-seat majority in the US Senate. We need to use it. Pass Medicare for All.

Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying DarkHorse podcast abt Russell Brand promises a perspective “you won’t find anywhere else” . . . that's because it's unbearably stupid and gross 🤢
Dr. Drew Dellinger retweeted
Jeffries didn’t even whip the vote. He told people to “vote their conscience,” and 11 members of his caucus didn’t show up. This is why people want a stronger leader.
These Democrats were recorded as “Not Voting.”
Had all 11 voted no, it would have failed 211–215, and the House would have moved toward a vote on impeachment itself.

Democrats not showing up for the Hegseth impeachment vote is a giant warning sign. Forget Republicans - did Democrats and their leaders watch the election results last week?
Dr. Drew Dellinger retweeted
Insane that 11 Democrats couldn't even bother to show up for an impeachment vote after the actual voters rejected the Iran War. What is going on?
#RuthlessnessGap
And also, #MessagingGap:
“Here’s our message, America! Trump and Hegseth are out-of-control — but not so out-of-control that we’ll actually show up to vote.”
Hegseth avoids House rebuke - too many Democratic absences. Impeachment plan sent to committee to die.

For all the focus on diversity and inclusion, no group is less represented in elected office than the blue collar working class. Jackson's win is a huge step forward. amacad.org/publication/how-t…
