MADAM SPEAKER AYANA PRESSLEY MY GOD PLEASE

[Patricia Maguire @PatMag7]

Lets do better with a new Speaker #Pressley4Speaker @AyannaPressley

[American Veteran @amvetsupport]

I find it astounding that all we have done for two years is bitch about the ineptness of Pete Hegseth. We have considered him a war criminal, yet of the day of his impeachment vote, 11 Democrats found it impossible to be in attendance for the vote. This is why Democrats are often ignored because they fail to do what is necessary. They should have slept in the Chambers if that is what it took to be there for the vote. Hegseth is demonstrably a failure in his job but this is not a good look or a good start for Democrats. Let's do better.

[Pat Ryan 🇺🇸 @PatRyanUC]

Actually, I had back surgery yesterday and checked myself out of the hospital this morning to make sure I voted to IMPEACH Hegseth.

He’s the most incompetent & immoral SecDef in history and he needs to go!

#VanHallenForMajorityLeader

[Cory Archibald @CMArchibald]

For the last 18 months @ChrisVanHollen has:
1. Traveled to El Salvador to bring home one of his constituents illegally kidnapped by the Trump regime

2. Consistently advocated for restricting and conditioning aid to Israel

3. Led fellow Senators in the fight to block Iran war funding, force Congressional authority on war powers, and strip Israel-lobby-wish-list provisions out of the NDAA

4. Voted against the Laken Riley Act

5. Attempted to block continued funding for ICE

6. Fought to strengthen Social Security

7. Fought for the full release of the Epstein Files

....and that's the short list.

I refuse to believe @politico is this stupid so I'm calling bullshit on this little Pikachu-face game. Must've gotten a call from Schumer's office because this level of denialism is pathetic.

#Pressley4Speaker she made it to the vote...

Have you seen the traffic?

[Roo 🌹 @KawasakiRoo]

If Sanders is publicly stating this, then the likelihood of CVH going for Speaker is within the realm of possibilities.

@WhipKClark your pants are on fire from lying. We need @AyannaPressley a truth telling fighter #JeffriesMustGo

[Don Winslow @donwinslow]

.@WhipKClark

Just tell the truth.

1. You were at another event.
2. 11 Democrats didn't show up to vote.
3. Only 7 were needed to begin impeaching @SecWar
4. You completely bungled this.
5. You knew and @hakeemjeffries are to blame
6. EVERY Republican made it on time to vote.

[Patricia Maguire @PatMag7]

@ChrisVanHollen YOU are the fighter we deserve!

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: GENIUS! Sen. Chris Van Hollen suggests restoring Affordable Care Act subsidies by gutting ICE’s bloated $200 billion in funding.

Two birds, one stone…

“We need to respond to the economic pain people are feeling. And that means a commitment, for example, to immediately pass legislation to make sure that none of us pay one dime, not one in higher electric costs, to build data centers for the richest AI companies on the planet,” Van Hollen said on “Pod Save America.”

“It means dealing with healthcare,” he continued. “And I mean, yes, of course, we need to reverse the damage the Trump administration has done with respect to their cuts to Medicaid. And by the way, we should claw back the approximately $200 billion in ICE funding that they banked last time.”

He also called for restoring the ACA subsidies that Republicans refused to extend in 2025.

We can’t think of a more elegant solution to this. Democrats are determined to undo Trump’s healthcare cuts and stem the deluge of financial stress, suffering, and death that those cuts are inflicting on the American people.

At the same time, we must abolish ICE. It’s a rogue paramilitary organization whose masked agents are terrorizing and murdering people in the streets. They’re trampling civil liberties and their detention centers are rife with sexual abuse. The last thing they deserve is another dollar of funding from taxpayers. That money should go towards saving lives, not ending them.

“But on healthcare, we need to go beyond that. We need to make sure that we deal with the system where premiums are going up and co-pays are going up and up and up,” added Van Hollen. “I ultimately believe we need to get to Medicare for All, but we certainly need to begin moving toward a public option. And finally, political corruption, because if you look at the results, it was interesting. If you look at what was on people's mind, number one was the economy and costs, but protecting our democracy was right up there. And these things are connected.”

There are growing calls among the Democratic base for Van Hollen to contest Chuck Schumer for the Senate Majority Leadership to empower a more progressive voice after the blue tsunami.

What do you think?

Please ❤️ and share if you’re a proud supporter of Chris Van Hollen!

[Patricia Maguire @PatMag7]

We agree you should be speaker #Pressley4Speaker

[Ayanna Pressley @AyannaPressley]

Do you agree? We need to show that this agenda has strong support. Sign our petition at https://t.co/uD1q3pOb0z

[Patricia Maguire @PatMag7]

#Pressley4Speaker after we the people delivered the Blue Tsunami we deserve a capable principled leader who can fight for us @AyannaRep We need you

[Dr. MemeNstein 🇺🇸🦅 @Coste1Costello]

Hakeem Jeffries just got outplayed again—letting Republicans pass a Veterans Day bill cutting future disability pay and raising home loan fees for disabled vets. He didn't even force a recorded vote to put the GOP on record. WTAF

[Patricia Maguire @PatMag7]

Since your mailbox is full @SenatorHeinrich I'm a New Mex voter urging you to vote @ChrisVanHollen for Maj. Leader. We deserve a competent principled leader worthy of this fight. Worthy of the Blue Tsunami WE delivered, not @SenSchumer He's not able to fight for us, just AIPAC

Endorsing @RepPressley

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

⭕️ BREAKING: Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) launched her own petition Wednesday asking supporters to "endorse Ayanna's agenda" for the new Democratic majority, as a separate grassroots petition to make her speaker instead of Hakeem Jeffries nears 20,000 signatures.

Her agenda says nothing about the genocide in Gaza, US military aid and arms sales to Israel, or the war on Iran. “If it were up to Ayanna Pressley," it says, Democrats would use their majority to fight for:

🔸 Medicare for All
🔸 National abortion protections
🔸 "Stopping data centers" and regulating the AI industry
🔸 "Abolishing ICE."

"We need to show that this agenda has strong support," Pressley wrote. Her petition doesn't mention the speakership.

[AIPAC Tracker @TrackAIPAC]

Representative Ayanna Pressley is emerging as a potential alternative to Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker as House Democrats are being bombarded by phone calls from constituents begging for new leadership.
