Black Representation matters in the South, and bold progressive leadership is needed more than ever before in Congress. @RoKhanna gets it.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

@iElijahManley @RoKhanna Thank you Congressman @RoKhanna. You are showing leadership on this. Now where is the @TheBlackCaucus?

[James J. Zogby @jjz1600]

Israel killed 4,300 Lebanese & laid waste to much of south Lebanon, demolishing 81 villages. It’s an insult for the US to get the Lebanese to sign an agreement w/ Israel that ignores Lebanese loss & pain & threatens Lebanon’s unity. Why must everything be on Israel’s terms?

A 32-year-old Democratic socialist who once said "Fuck Kamala Harris" has just beat the Chair of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus — who was backed by the entire party establishment and millions of dollars.

There is not even a doubt. The Democratic Tea Party is here.

Wild to me that she doesn’t get as much shine as some of the other left electeds. She’s been incredibly poised, principled, and effective while maintaining her principles.
