fantastic questions. and it’s sad that 8 years in DC has left AOC shellshocked about openly challenging the corporate shills of the party even when others are speaking up.

AOC on Democratic leadership threatening incoming Rep. Don Leonard for his opposition to Hakeem Jeffries’ bid for speakership and her logic on the difference between a Schumer challenge and Jeffries challenge.

IDF forces killed a 14-year-old boy who “intended to throw stones.”

You have to admit it's pretty funny that the grift economy is now so overinflated that there are people out there whose whole deal is "literary criticism for people who can't read"

@pourfairelevide this is a pretty common type of game theory problem where you assume all actors are perfect logicians

I asked Hakeem Jeffries about attendance appearing decisive in the Pete Hegseth vote. (11 House Dems did not vote tonight.)

He told me and reporters: "I haven't had a conversation with anyone on the floor team about what may or may not have happened in terms of the Hegseth resolution, but this is not the end of it. It's just the beginning."

I'll say it again

@thereisnojayjay Let me guess, you’re one of these people who has “test anxiety”

@Angela4CA love this solidarity — keep up the pressure!

[Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc]

The Senate needs 27 Dems to flip for Schumer to not be speaker. And there are fewer possible votes to get.

The House needs 34. Only 7 more votes out of 254 members.

If these Senators can have the courage to come out against Schumer, the House margin can totally be overcome too.

[Saikat Chakrabarti @saikatc]

Don Leonard isn't DSA. He's a frontline Dem who flipped a heavily Trump district.

The fact that Hakeem is threatening him, and thus threatening the Dem majority, is a total non-starter for leader.

It's a slap in the face of everyone who worked so hard for this blue wave.

That this is a genuinely principled thing to be transparent about is both refreshing and an indictment on politicians who have promised to take on corruption but never openly stand up to it

[Ryan Grim @ryangrim]

Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.

His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”

He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

Abdul putting Van Hollen’s name out publicly was really important. Helped fuel the calls to CVH’s office and pushed him towards running. Now we need comparable bravery on the House side.
