I’m seeing a lot of people warming up to former CIA Slotkin. So here’s a reminder of her record:
- Helped Republicans ban Pride flags.
- Opposes Medicare for All and the Green New Deal
- Does not support abolishing the death penalty
- Condemned “from the river to the sea.”
- Didn’t endorse Will Lawrence in the primary for her old seat

Senior Dems will make life ‘hell’ without Jeffries vote, freshman rep says politi.co/3WAWpOV

I have never seen such contempt for the American people that what I’m seeing here right now from Jeffries and Schumer allies…

So from what I understand you can’t vote against Jeffries because they won’t let you be on committees but you can skip the impeachment vote and get to stay on the committees, do I have that right

some of the embarrassing failures of hakeem jeffries this last year alone.
1) multiple war powers resolutions that failed by one or two democrats not voting or flipping
2) mgp and golden voting for gop house rules
3) couldn't whip votes to impeach hegseth
is this leadership?

The fact that @ChrisVanHollen has credibility with the left and with the mainstream of the Dem party is exactly why he's a great fit for leadership. None of us have forgotten how he fought for Kilmar Abrego Garcia when it wasn't safe or popular and worked to expose war crimes against Palestinians. He's also been a leading voice against the atrocities in Sudan. In other words he's showed actual character and leadership. Exactly what's needed.

A leader who can’t get their caucus to show up for work is not a leader capable of being an effective Speaker of the House.
@AyannaPressley would be a phenomenal choice. She campaigned in the South (incl. in Florida for Angie) and represents where the Democratic Party should be.

Impeaching Hegseth would have done more for veterans than receiving an award about advocating for veterans.

Split screen at Capitol Hill today:
Hakeem Jeffries is arguing that he should be the leader of the Democrats — and then, as the current leader, he couldn’t get enough Democrats to show up to impeach Pete Hegseth

Van Hollen criticized Schumer & DSCC in interview with @alivitali today:
“We have two members in that room, newly elected senators, who would not be there if Schumer and the DSCC had had their way. And, you know, Schumer and the DSCC sided with the crypto industry and AIPAC against these candidates.”
This was a winnable seat. Shame on the establishment for not coalescing support behind this incredible woman
Angie Nixon confirms reporting that Chuck Schumer gave her ONLY $5000 from his Leadership PAC. She also reveals the DSCC only gave money to her campaign the DAY BEFORE the election
“It was a failed opportunity, a missed opportunity…we need to have some tough conversations.”
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
OP's claims about the timeline and donations are misleading.
$5,000 is the maximum amount of money Schumer could legally give in direct PAC contributions.

The money was given in October.

Summer Lee has to primary John Fetterman in 2028, Abdul is gonna need a partner and she's it
.@RepSummerLee explains how progressive ideas won out this cycle.
"People are putting it in their own words, that makes sense to their own districts, but the underlying thing is the same thing..."

One might think AOC is just explaining how the Speaker gets elected.
But read between the lines ... she's also explaining how a progressive insurgent gets co-opted and absorbed into the Democratic establishment.
Listen carefully.
AOC: “Right now both of these races are uncontested — don’t be mad at me, I’m just reporting the facts.”
Rep. @AOC clearly explains the speaker vote process, says nobody is challenging @RepJeffries and anyone who does would likely be banished to obscure committees.
(If Jeffries is that vindictive it seems like even more of a reason someone should challenge him 😕)

The concept of a person being “illegal” on a floating rock orbiting a massive nuclear reactor in a boundless universe is so idiotic. Do you small-minded, ignorant freaks even hear yourselves when that shit comes spewing out of your stupid mouths?

chris van hollen flew down to el salvador to get proof of life for his constituent kilmar garcia when the kidnappings were happening. we need fighters to lead at this critical moment. van hollen is also closer to the democratic base on his approach to foreign policy.
NEW: Sen. Chris Van Hollen is now open to a run against Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer
Van Hollen has "received an outpouring of calls and is now in active listening mode," according to a person familiar w/ his thinking around leadership
"The door is not shut," the person added
Van Hollen is a leading progressive & has said he needs commitments from Schumer before agreeing to support him for another term as leader. The Maryland Democrat has also been eyeing a presidential run

The only person saying Schumer has the votes for Majority Leader is Schumer.
It's time to draft Chris Van Hollen, a proven leader. When everyone sat on their hands, CVH flew to El Salvador and fought for Kilmar Ábrego García.
He forced the Senate to vote on ending the war with Iran.
And he supports ending the Senate filibuster.
Voters elected a majority to fight back. It should be led by someone who's been in the fight all along. #DraftVanHollen
Run AOC run !!!!
AOC is the only candidate who can lead the working class movement to fight the oligarchy and transform America. We’re organizing across the country to build the grassroots support we need to win in 2028. Go to ReadyforAOC.org to sign the pledge.

just as israel will blame everything solely on satanyahu to try and engineer a new status quo w a liberal zionist govt who will be just as ruthless, our elite are going to try to pin the last decade on trump alone when the dust settles. for trumpism to perish, we need real structural change.

God he’s so fucking cool I love this guy. One of the best candidates DSA has run for office at any level of government by far
.@chrisrabb at CPC presser: “We do this in movement. We do this in community, and we do it unapologetically.”
“This is the time in these dark hours where we become the light, and we represent those people closest to the pain who should be closest to the power.”
