"Chuck and I grew up, literally, in the same [Brooklyn] neighborhood. I am older than Chuck, but we went to the same elementary school, the same high school. We were on the Banking Committee together when I was first elected to Congress. So I have known Chuck for a long time, and I like Chuck, personally. He’s a very nice guy. But, I think, in this moment in American history, Chuck’s views are way out of touch with where the American people are at—and especially with where [the base of] the Democratic Party is. On issue after issue, I think he is just not in tune with where his constituents are at." https://t.co/XK2JkVwbxr
👀 Interesting… Ayanna Pressley is now encouraging people to endorse "Ayanna's Agenda."
The page lists out what the Democratic majority would do "if it were up to Ayanna Pressley" —>
– Medicare for All
– National abortion protections
– Stopping data centers
– Abolishing ICE
America needs Chris Van Hollen and Ayanna Pressley.
We must stop funding war crimes and genocide, and start spending our money on healthcare, housing, and education here at home.

Senator @ChrisVanHollen was early to call out Israel and Netanyahu for withholding food and aid to the people of Gaza.
This is why we support Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader.
Chuck Schumer secured 10 million for Haley Stevens, a woman who went on to betray the Democratic Party. Schumer can’t be trusted. His approval ratings among Americans reside in the low 20s.
He’s unfit for Senate Majority Leader.
Today, following a survey of our members, the Congressional Progressive Caucus voted to adopt an official position to oppose the Senate's Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) as drafted, unless significant improvements are made. (1/x)
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.
Van Hollen: “We have two members in that room, newly elected senators, who would not be there if Schumer and the DSCC had had their way. [They] sided with the crypto industry and AIPAC against these candidates, and my strong view is only under very, very rare exceptions should the DSCC be weighing in.”
Today, I led 11 of my Senate colleagues in calling on House & Senate leadership to strip the upcoming defense bill of provisions that MANDATE defense & intelligence cooperation with Israel — including one advanced by Netanyahu himself.
This doesn’t make us safer, see why ⬇️
The future of the Democratic Party won’t belong to the establishment!
Our members have begun mass calling their representatives demanding they abandon the failed leadership of @SenSchumer & @RepJeffries.
We are proud to announce that we are officially calling for and endorsing @RoKhanna & @ChrisVanHollen to run for Speaker of the House & Senate Majority Leader.
We have begun coordinating with some of our endorsed candidates that won their races last week to work together to bring about the change our party’s voters are begging for.
