@KaleckiWasRight You would think so but it seems you’d be wrong.

I’m glad people are organizing & calling their congresspeople to say “no” to Jeffries. But we need to be realistic. We elected a lot of good progressives but they are nowhere near the majority of the caucus.

If we want better leadership we are going to need a better Dem caucus.

The center-left New Democrat Coalition puts out a statement saying they "can’t wait to vote for Hakeem Jeffries to be Speaker of the House on January 3, 2027."

They elected new leaders yesterday: Budzinski as chair and Landsman, Vasquez, Schrier and Strickland as vice chairs

@JackGogol00 @sp2chy You are an petulant child who throws a tantrum bc you don’t get what you want politically immediately with little effort.

[Always Be Primarying🌹 @ideologicalized]

@JackGogol00 @sp2chy It’s been great. They’ve been a big part of moving politics to the left. Without them we wouldn’t have elected Zohran, 8 socialists in congress, Abdul and dozens of other serious progressives to Congress.

[Always Be Primarying🌹 @ideologicalized]

@JackGogol00 @sp2chy No actually I think we should elect more progressives. That’s not waiting.

NEW THIS MORNING: A tracker for where all congressional Democrats stand on Schumer and Jeffries for leadership, created by @thedemsocmarul @arachno_commie, William Prince, and I.

We've scoured national and local news and social media to put this together. Reply or DM with tips!

[Always Be Primarying🌹 @ideologicalized]

@sp2chy Yeah but some in the CPC suck too and then you actually have to elect someone else and you can’t do that with 100 members.

@AlexanderTurok It’s not one study

[Always Be Primarying🌹 @ideologicalized]

There is an overwhelming body of scientific evidence that shows that spanking harms kids.

If you support spanking or hitting kids you are not just a morally awful person but anti-science and the equivalent of an anti-vaxxer or climate change denier.

[Jeff Stein @jstein_sun]

.@AJentleson: “i think this is yet another teachable moment for lefties on twitter to engage in some introspection and realize that they are not the average voter! they may think spanking is wrong, but three-quarters of americans don’t” including half of Dems. [he cites below]

Think it's important as the debate on FEC continues that FEC tenants are not a monolith -- many are supportive of the project and want to see repairs!

@dahvnyc Because a little extra transit funding isn’t worth supporting genocide, war in Iran and ICE. Do you think we are all just selfish ass holes?

Merge the applications for all federal benefit programs in one central portal that informs you all programs you are eligible for and creates one application process.

@Anphoria No it’s Embarrassing

AOC on Florida AG’s Investigation of DSA: Florida has engaged in political attacks on every institution, from Florida’s public universities to Florida’s public school system. They have attacked and engaged in political attacks, attempting to defund every basic public institution. And they also gerrymandered the state in an attempt to pick their voters instead of having their voters pick them.

So I don’t think that they have earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to politically targeted attacks.

@shift_in2_turbo That’s also not what token means. Token means someone who is a symbol with little or no actual power or
Agency. These reps literally have more power and influence both within and outside DSA than anyone else on DSA - even the co-chairs.

Giancarlo Esposito says his grandfather was minutes from execution until Mussolini needed him to find an opera set

"And when Mussolini came in, many, many people were opposed to him. My grandfather was responsible for all these operas"

"Now my grandfather was a drinker, he liked his alcohol, and he would drink a little too much and he'd be found in the street cursing out Mussolini"

Josh: "As one does"

Giancarlo: "As one does. And he was immediately put in jail. And over and over again, he was let out. And Mussolini would wanna see operas and of course that incensed him"

"Five minutes away from a firing line, they had marched him out and the phone call came in, 'I'm looking for Esposito. Where's Esposito? Where's Esposito?' 'Why? Why?' 'Because I wanna see Madame Butterfly and he knows where the set is'"

"And literally was saved very close to losing his life. And he delivered that set and then he and my father raced away to the resistance in the mountains and finally left Naples, that call was too close for comfort"
