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.”
Leonard flipped OH15, a heavily R district that includes parts of Columbus.
He’s also the author of a book on the Cochabamba Water War, in which indigenous Bolivians fought back against the privatization of their water resources in the Chapare region.
We are witnessing a massive strategic error by Democrats to support Jeffries. They are violating a crucial political rule for the left: be honest with people and treat them as adults. I explained why it matters in my recent essay Why Is Everyone Lying: https://t.co/5RldWyr1sa
🚨 BREAKING: A Black couple showed up to tour an apartment in Queens... and the broker accidentally texted THEM instead of the owner: "Ugh. They are Black."
They'd just moved from Delaware for her new job. Now they're SUING Douglas Elliman, the agent AND the owners.
"It doesn't change the pain. It doesn't take away the pain you caused us that day."
Think about it. They were judged before they even had a chance.
They only found out because she texted the wrong person. Most people never do.
Now THIS is the Nick Wright i grew to respect. I hope he maintains this trajectory.
Angel Reese and the ATL Dream not being covered is a choice by the media.
Guillermo del Toro: “It pains me deeply to see one, two, or three generations fail the next. We’re handing down a world in ruins, morally, socially and spiritually fractured, with the very fabric that once allowed us to tell fables and parables falling apart.”

What’s happening in France is a wake-up call to the entire world. 🌍 The cost of living keeps rising while everyday people struggle to survive. People are tired of working hard just to barely get by. Governments need to start listening to the people before frustration turns into chaos. 💯🙏🏽
My entire feed has been French people actually protesting then this video popped up on my feed
The US will never get anything done if protests stay like this
