Absolutely unacceptable that 11 House Dems just *missed* the vote to proceed with the impeachment of Pete Hegseth. What’s the point of being a Rep if you’re not gonna be there for stuff like this?

Here are the 11 Democrats who couldn’t be bothered to show up to impeach war criminal Pete Hegseth:
Nancy Pelosi (CA-11)
Haley Stevens (MI-11)
Julia Brownley (CA-26)
Lou Correa (CA-46)
Laura Gillen (NY-4)
Steven Horsford (NV-4)
Jonathan Jackson (IL-1)
Brittany Pettersen (CO-7)
Melanie Stansbury (NM-1)
Marilyn Strickland (WA-10)
Frederica Wilson (FL-24)
If these 11 Democrats had showed up, Hegseth would’ve been impeached 215-211.
There are no excuses left to make. The Democrats couldn’t even show up to hold a war criminal accountable who bombed an elementary school and mass murdered children.

This is you pictured with your close friend Baroness Emma Nicholson, a staunch supporter of Section 28, with whom you started your charity Lumos in 2005.
Anyone who gave the slightest shit about gay rights wouldn't start a charity with someone who supports Section 28.

NO! The greatest threat to LGBT+ rights is a straight billionaire who knows absolutely NOTHING about our lived lives and is intent in trying to split us apart. She and her fellow transphobes are the greatest threat to our freedoms!

All the rantings by billionaires about human rights and migrants taking your jobs while they consistently refuse to pay tax, pay the bare minimum wage, create mass job losses due to AI, and fund court cases until they succeed.
Tax billionaires out of existence.

Zohran Mamdani just did what most Democrats and Republicans are too gutless to do.
He looked straight into the camera and said the quiet part out loud:
Republicans called Obama a socialist every single day for 8 years. It didn’t stop him.
Now they’re trying the same tired red-baiting on anyone who wants a New Deal instead of the raw deal working people have been force-fed for decades.
People are hungry for something real. Not more corporate welfare dressed up as “moderation.” Not more “public-private partnerships” that somehow always privatize the profits and socialize the losses.
Mamdani is right. The socialist smear is a dead tactic.
The only question left is whether the Democratic Party has the spine to actually deliver for the people who keep electing them… or if they’ll keep protecting the same donors who’ve been extracting wealth from this country for 40 years.
Keep going, Mayor.
The old guard is terrified for a reason, the midterms have certainly proven a new worth. – at District of Columbia, USA

If Trump is endorsing Schumer, you know Schumer is going to protect Trump.
This is a no go.

Congress has the power to hold Trump and his cronies accountable for ripping you off to make themselves richer.
I'm looking at you – Big Tech CEOs, Wall Street executives, and giant corporations.
If you break the law, there will be consequences.

People fucking died. Families lost healthcare. Children are going hungry. We have concentration camps, and he tore down part of the White House. I WANT ACCOUNTABILITY. I DO NOT WANT STRONGLY WORDED LETTERS.

DEMOCRATS MUST DELIVER
Trumpism grew out of the failure of the Democratic Party to stand with working families. That cannot continue. At a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality and declining faith in democracy, Democrats MUST deliver. No excuses.
- Medicare for All
- A $20-an-hour minimum wage
- The PRO Act
- A wealth tax on billionaires, which would pay for universal childcare, free public colleges and universities, and a massive housing program
- An AI data center moratorium
- Bringing ICE under control and comprehensive immigration reform
- REAL campaign finance reform

How much more evidence do we need before accepting that Maya and the wider “gender critical” movement are little more than homophobic, transphobic bullies, willing to enable the abuse of young LGBTQ+ people to advance their own agenda?
The government is tendering for an organisation to run its Conversion Practice Victim Support Service.
£180,000 for two years.
It has spent £471,232 on this helpline over the past 5 years and released no data about how many times the phone rang.
If anyone can download the tender documents I would appreciate it.

Chuck Schumer is the reason Angie Nixon lost.
Hakeem Jeffries refused to endorse Zohran Mamdani until he had no other choice.These people cannot lead our party for the next two years. Far too much is at stake.WE DEMAND NEW LEADERSHIP. IT IS NOT NEGOTIABLE.

Oh, calling her Joanne absolutely is a power move. Just perhaps not the one she's imagined.
Joanne is her name. She holds no public office, possesses no constitutional authority and enjoys no hereditary entitlement to intellectual deference.
She is an extraordinarily wealthy and successful novelist. Splendid for her. But literary celebrity confers neither legislative authority nor the divine right to be correct.
I call her Joanne because, beneath the accumulated wealth, fame, adulation and ceremonial upholstery, she remains another person participating in a public argument.
Her opinions are entitled to precisely the same scrutiny as mine or yours.
The difference is that she possesses the resources to broadcast hers to millions.
A fortune is not a peerage. A bestseller is not a royal charter. And a pen name is not a crown.
I am perfectly happy to acknowledge her achievements. I simply decline to kneel before them.
