In this election, Americans called on us to unrig an economy rigged against working people & fueled by political corruption.
To deliver, we need new leadership. This isn't about any one person – it’s about answering that call.
That's why I’m running for Senate Majority Leader.
Saikat Chakrabarti, former chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has launched a fundraising push to shield Democrats who refuse to back Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
It has raised over $50,000 in about 12 hours for Reps.-elect Don Leonard (D-Ohio) and Angela Gonzales-Torres (D-Calif.), Chakrabarti wrote, urging donations so they "don't have to worry about the establishment funding a primary against them."
Leonard says senior House Democrats threatened to make his life "a living hell" and oust him in 2028. Chakrabarti's fundraising page is linked in the reply.
If you believe Ayanna Pressley should be the next Speaker of the House, sign below!
Ayanna is an incredible leader. She was part of the 2018 election where I had the honor to meet her. She would be incredibly effective in this role.

I’m glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza.
But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gaza—including 20K+ kids—is Iranian fake news.
It’s not the students and young people who are fooled. It’s Van Jones.
We just posted an interview @krystalball and I did with Dr Mo and my god. No words. Really a must listen.
Please share this because @elonmusk makes it impossible to share links but if enough people share it sometimes it breaks through the suppression https://t.co/nyxGOCye2K
Okay, so on January 23rd of this year, @dropsitenews published an investigation into Microsoft's complicity in the Gaza genocide and partnered with The Guardian and 972, sharing the documents we had obtained.
Subsequent reporting continued to show the extent of the complicity. Today, The Guardian reports that Microsoft is now blocking the IDF from using its tech for mass surveillance of Palestinians. This is why Drop Site is so hated, and it's also a major victory for dissident Microsoft workers, who have been protesting intensely internally. Finally, a decent little...
How it started... How it's going
NEW | The world's leading genocide scholars' association has overwhelmingly passed a resolution saying that the legal criteria have been met to establish that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.
Eighty-six per cent of those who voted among the 500-member International Association of Genocide Scholars backed the resolution declaring: "Israel’s policies and actions in Gaza meet the legal definition of genocide in Article II of the United Nations Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (1948)".
Anas Al-Sharif’s last will and testament as published tonight by his friends:
This is my last will and testament, my final message.
If these words of mine reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice.
First, peace, mercy, and blessings of God be upon you.
God knows that I have exerted all my effort and strength to be a support and voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and neighborhoods of Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that God would prolong my life so that I could return with my family and loved ones to our original hometown of occupied Ashkelon (al-Majdal). But God's will was supreme, and His judgment is final. I have lived the pain in all its details, and I have tasted the pain and loss repeatedly. Despite this, I have never hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification. May God be a witness against those who remained silent and accepted our killing, and against those who held our breath and whose hearts were not moved by the remains of our children and women, and who failed to stop the massacre our people have been subjected to for more than a year and a half.
I entrust Palestine to you, the jewel in the crown of Muslims and the heartbeat of every free person in this world.
I entrust its people and its young, oppressed children, who were not given the time to dream and live in safety and peace.
Their pure bodies were crushed by thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn to pieces, and their remains scattered on the walls.
I advise you not to be silenced by restrictions, nor to be paralyzed by borders. Be bridges toward the liberation of the country and its people, so that the sun of dignity and freedom may shine upon our usurped homeland.
I entrust my family to you.
I entrust you with the apple of my eye, my beloved daughter Sham, whom I have not yet seen grow up as I dreamed.
I entrust you with my dear son Salah, for whom I hoped to be a support and companion until he grows strong, so that he may bear my burdens and complete his mission.
I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose prayers have blessed me and enabled me to reach this point. Her prayers have been my fortress and my light.
I pray to God to strengthen her heart and reward her abundantly on my behalf.
I also commend to you my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah Bayan. The war separated us for many long days and months, but she remained faithful to her covenant, steadfast like an unbending olive trunk, patient and content. She carried the trust in my absence with all strength and faith.
I commend you to rally around her and support her after God Almighty.
If I die, I will die steadfast in my principles. I call God to witness that I am content with His judgment, faithful to the meeting with Him, and certain that what is with God is better and more lasting.
O God, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light illuminating the path to freedom for my people and my family.
Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for mercy for me, for I have fulfilled my covenant, and I have neither changed nor altered.
Do not forget Gaza...
And do not forget me in your prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.
