@ideologicalized@BasedCarlMarks The push to demolish and privatize FEC isn’t just terrible socialist policy (heck, it’s not even New Deal politics). It’s simply not serious at all, and is deeply corrupt.
@ideologicalized@BasedCarlMarks But also, are you so credulous as to believe the “study” saying that demolition is needed? The study ran by… Related Companies, the actual developer of the mostly market rate housing that’s coming? The study which now admits that it’d actually be cheaper to rehab, not demolish?
@ideologicalized@aasthauprety Repairs need to be made and funded: that is the job of true anti-austerity electeds to fight for, enlisting regular voters to join. But the mad rush to demolish FEC Houses is not needed. The needs assessment was conducted by Related Companies themselves: completely insane.
BREAKING: The 11 House Democrats who missed the vote that killed Thomas Massie's Hegseth impeachment resolution have all received significant pro-Israel AIPAC money in Congress.

Haley Stevens is the highest AIPAC recipient in Congress.
I'll say that I think Mamdani and AOC have made a major miscalculation in forging whatever deal they did with Jeffries last year and are missing a major opportunity to jump in front of the clear populist rage against the democratic party centrist Zionist leadership.
