Ayanna Pressley has launched a petition for supporters to "Endorse Ayanna's Agenda" amid calls for her to run for Speaker of the House against Hakeem Jeffries
It lists: advancing Medicare for All, passing national abortion protections, stopping data centers, and abolishing ICE
Democrats fail to call for a recorded vote and GOP passes its bill that cuts veteran disability benefits and forces veterans to pay more to use VA home loan benefits … on Veterans Day
This is the type of thing that would ideally be paid attention to and handled by party leadership. In this case, that would be Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Whip Katherine Clark.
This is less than 24 hours after they failed to whip members on a vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which failed by a 210-204 vote margin with 11 absent Dem members.
I visit the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier several times a year. I’ve seen this happen multiple times.
Absolute fucking embarrassment that it had to happen to SecDef.
Sanders to reporters: "'Is AOC going to run for president?' Well, you're going to write 50 articles on that. Well, what about writing an article about why we're the only major country on earth not to guarantee health care to all people?"
Do you know why we need a better speaker than Hakeem Jeffries?Because Jim Jordon was just elected House GOP leader where he’s going to be perfection at shamelessly vocalizing false narratives that rally MAGA back together against Dems with his made for cable tv combat personality
WOW holy shit…@SecWar Pete Kegseth and his crew decided to take pictures at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and one of the morons started laughing so the US Army sentinel guarding the tomb reprimanded them
"Maintain silence, Pay respect"
BREAKING: On Veterans Day, a guard at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery had to SHOUT at a group that included Pete Hegseth and other senior officials after laughter broke out, demanding silence and respect.
This is one of the most sacred places in America, honoring service members who gave their lives and whose identities remain unknown.
It will be a terrible mistake if the Democratic party ignores all of these Democrats who wanted and voted for CHANGE.
Change is not Chuck Schumer, a 75 year old who has been in political office CONTINUOUSLY for 52 years.
52 years.
52 years.
52 years.
Everyone call 202-224-3121 and/or 202-225-1400 to let your elected representatives know your thoughts on who should lead the Democrats in the House and Senate
Here’s the thing, from what we hear no one is calling in to support keep leadership but thousands of calls are coming in to support generational change!
If this is the future you want you’re going to have to take action to make it happen.
Phone: 202-224-3121
TTY: 202-225-1904
In a normal world, Lutnick would be fired or forced to resign before the day is out and a national security investigation would be launched at the FBI. Forget corruption, this bears the strong aroma of acting against the interests of the United States (there's a word for that).
A leader who can’t get their caucus to show up for work is not a leader capable of being an effective Speaker of the House.
@AyannaPressley would be a phenomenal choice. She campaigned in the South (incl. in Florida for Angie) and represents where the Democratic Party should be.
