AOC:
“Should this AI bubble pop, we should not be entertaining a bailout of these corporations while healthcare is being denied to Americans and SNAP is being denied to Americans.”
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.
I don’t want my congressman overconfident and arrogant that they’ll be elected to any position. I want them unsure and performing to the best of their ability because they’re worried their constituents are watching them and demanding that they deliver.
Secretary of WAR Pete Hegseth just went on TV and told the nation that he's being impeached for "winning a war."
There's that word again. War.
War. War requires 48 hours notification by the President to Congress. War imposes a 60-day limit on hostilities UNLESS Congress formally declares war and passes specific legislation authorizing and funding it.
This is the law.
And Pete Hegseth just went on record telling us he and Trump have broken it.
There's your impeachment. Thanks, Pete.
🚨 BREAKING: The new Epstein discharge petition just hit 218 signatures. Every Democrat signed, plus Massie, Mace, Norman and Fitzpatrick. That forces a House vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which would let survivors and state AGs sue DOJ to release the files. Johnson can’t stop it.
Garcia responds: "It appears Donald Trump has something to hide. Let's be clear: Congress' authority comes from Article I of the Constitution, not from the permission of the White House … We are a co-equal branch of government and will not be deterred by baseless threats from a weaponized DOJ or from the President's lawyers."
Rogue AI agents are accessing bank accounts and colluding with one another to defy their human-given instructions. We MUST act on regulation as soon as we possibly can before more disasters strike.
Some Democrats are using the excuse that they were stuck in traffic for missing a vote.
They are paid $174,000 with incredible benefits, but haven't learned to show up early so they don't miss votes when something comes up.
Meanwhile, millions of Americans work low-paying jobs where they can be fired for showing up 15 minutes late one time.
We need to send more people to Congress who know what it is like to work for a living and get rid of those who think it is a country club.
Medicare for All
Green New Deal
Housing Justice
Cancel Student Loan Debt
Public Utilities
Public Transit
Abolish Electoral College
Overturn Citizens United
No more money for genocide.
THAT is what America voted for.
Get it done, or get out of the way.
No B.S. time.
11 House Democrats missed the Hegseth impeachment vote.
It lost by 7.
The excuse? Traffic.
Try that one with your boss. Or your customers.
Winners leave early. Losers explain late.
You knew the vote was coming. Show up or step aside.
This is unfuckingacceptable.
.@hakeemjeffries can get the required votes for himself - in fact guarantee it - but can't deliver the votes necessary to impeach Pete Hegseth.
And Democrats are okay with that?
If you are, you will be giving up the single greatest opportunity Democrats have had for YEARS.
The Democrat Caucus this morning is shook folks….. they honestly thought we’d check out after Tuesday and they could go back to business as usual!
Keep holding them accountable and stay engaged, read every bill and do not accept any form of gaslighting! Keep track of any democrat that even looks like they want to play footsie with the right!
I am so sick of the Democratic party HURTING the Democratic party.
@gtconway3d is right THIS IS INSANE.
And if you believe @hakeemjeffries didn't know about this...you're part of the problem.
CHANGE NOW.
NEW LEADERSHIP NOW.
STOP THE JURASSIC POLITICIANS.
ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
THE HOUSE DEMOCRATIC ****WHIP**** WAS THROWING THE FUNDRAISING BASH THAT KEPT DEMOCRATS FROM VOTING TO SEND THE HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT VOTE TO THE FLOOR.
Don't buy any spin.
11 Democrats under @hakeemjeffries DID NOT SHOW UP to vote yesterday.
We ONLY NEEDED 7 VOTES to move the impeachment of @SecWar Hegseth forward.
This is a total and complete failure of leadership from the guy who wants to be Speaker of the House.
