In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption.
To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call.
That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.
HUMPBACK WHALE IN THE HUDSON RIVER RIGHT NOW!

Likudnik warlord and Dee Snider impersonator Miriam Adelson once again describes Donald Trump, and by extension, the US government, as vehicles for achieving the Israeli plan of "true change" (read: regime change) in Iran
real shame this is gonna be everyone's main takeaway from this video (and it's definitely partially Julian's fault) because it's one of my favorite music videos in a very long time lol so creative
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.
Hi Matt. I’m more than a little confused by this critique. Even folks who just had a passing knowledge of @AbdulElSayed’s campaign know that his slogan was about 3 things: Money out of politics, money in your pocket & Medicare for all.
Whether you (or other Democrat Senators or anyone, really) disagree with that is irrelevant to the facts that those were the things he explicitly campaigned on.
Do you truly believe that given the above facts, he should simply pretend that is not what he campaigned on? Or, alternatively, that he should acknowledge that despite campaigning on those ideals, he’s abandoning them days after the election because he won by 7 and other Democratic candidates won by 9?
Lastly, I understand you always seem to be focused on maximizing electability and far less focused on maximizing enacting actual reforms, but given your (and others) focus on electability concerns, isn’t right now—literally the furthest out from the next election we possibly could be—the best possible time to raise these issues?
⭕️ It would take just ~43 House Democrats to keep Hakeem Jeffries from becoming speaker. The Congressional Progressive Caucus alone expects more than 100 members in January.
🔹Its chair, Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas), co-sponsored Rep. Rashida Tlaib's November 2025 resolution "recognizing the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza." Now he says he expects to "deliver the votes" for Jeffries. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), another co-sponsor, told MS NOW on Monday that Jeffries will have the caucus's unanimous support, calling his expected rise a "pretty historic moment." In all, 22 House Democrats backed the genocide resolution and well over 40 have described Israel’s actions as genocide.
🔹Jeffries has been one of the strongest supporters of Israel’s military response in Gaza. He opposed a July bid to cut off US military aid to Israel, saying it would "restrict our country's ability to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in the region." His promised "reset" wouldn't touch aid until the current 10-year deal expires in 2028.
🔹The math: Speaker needs 218 votes cast for a person by name on Jan 3, 2027. With roughly 260 Democrats, if 43 commit to naming someone else and every Republican votes against Jeffries, he falls short.
🔹It's been done before. In January 2023, about 20 Republicans withheld their votes from Rep. Kevin McCarthy through 15 rounds of voting. He won only after major concessions, including a rule letting any single member force a vote to remove the speaker, which Rep. Matt Gaetz used to oust him nine months later.
🔗 Drop Site's Julian Andreone asked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), another co-sponsor of the genocide resolution who backs Jeffries, whether progressives could use that kind of leverage.
Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”
I like when Katherine is scrolling her vids on IG and I hear what she's watching and its always something like "girlies, if you have a boyfriend...KILL HIM"
