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.
Nací en un laboratorio. Ahí no tenía nombre, ni cama, ni a nadie que me dijera "bebé". Nunca había ladrado, porque nadie me había enseñado que mi voz valía algo.
Cuando me sacaron de ahí tenía miedo de todo. Laurie me tuvo una paciencia enorme: me abrigó en el auto, me dejó dormir pegado a ella en el sillón y me compró un collar con mi chapita.
Y un día pasó: ladré por primera vez. Ahora me llamo Reggie y ladro porque soy feliz.

Maine’s new senator showed up to Washington in an $89.99 suit off the rack from Target — and it tells you everything about who just got elected, and the populist story behind this election.
Troy Jackson posted a selfie on the Capitol steps this week holding his U.S. Senate folder. People zoomed in on his sleeve, spotted the Haggar label, and tracked it down to Target.
It fits. Jackson is a fifth-generation logger from Allagash, Maine. His mom was 16 when he was born. He spent years working 80-hour weeks in the woods, and he got into politics fighting for loggers’ pay.
He wasn’t even supposed to be on the ballot. He stepped in with about 100 days to go and beat Susan Collins, who had held that seat since 1997.
The Senate is a millionaires’ club.
People whose last job before politics was blue-collar have never held more than about 2% of the seats in Congress. Most of the people writing laws about your wages have never had to live on one.
Jackson is a longtime Bernie Sanders ally. He ran Bernie’s Maine operation in 2016, and Bernie campaigned with him across the state this fall. He’s going to Washington to fight for Medicare for All, protect and expand Social Security, back unions, and make billionaires pay their fair share.
A senator who knows what a paycheck actually buys. In a $90 suit.
As a retired master sergeant, I love that this young man is more afraid of his sergeant than he is of the secretary of defense.
He was following orders and doing exactly what he was trained to do. 🫡
Pete Hegseth and his group found a way to disrespect veterans on Veterans Day at Arlington National Cemetery. First, you're not supposed to be taking pictures like you were tourists, and you certainly shouldn't be laughing, as happened twice in this video, followed by the guard yelling at them to stay silent.

Mitch McConnell voted 23 times to deny Americans sick leave. Then he took 92 days himself and got paid $45,000 for days he never showed up for. He's still being paid from his wheelchair. Nonverbal and he still gobbling up tax payer dollars. He voted six times against raising the minimum wage.
Take a good look a the Republican party.
That’s where I’m at! Keep calling your Reps re Jeffries/Schumer: Ayanna Pressley does not take Israel or corporate pac money in the House, Chris Van Hollen does not in the Senate.

Democrat Chuck Hubbard has increased his lead over incumbent House Republican Virginia Foxx in North Carolina from 99 votes to 325 votes.
Let’s go, Chuck!

BREAKING: HERE COME THE RADICAL COMMUNISTS! New Republican Whip Tom Emmer throws a spectacular TANTRUM over the Democrats' election victory – threatens to make them REGRET ever running for Congress!
Tough guy Rep. Tom Emmer has a message for the Democrats who just won control of the House: Enjoy your victory while you can, because he's coming after YOU!
“To our colleagues on the left, enjoy this honeymoon phase because come January 3rd, 2027, you will regret ever putting your name on a ballot,” Emmer thundered.
And what terrible fate awaits these unfortunate Democrats?
“House Republicans will hold each and every Democrat accountable for every vote cast, every committee hearing held, and every sentence said on MSDNC,” he warned.
Every vote! Every hearing! Every sentence!
And Emmer was just getting warmed up after that sick burn on MS NOW.
“This Republican leadership team will expose the Democrats' lies and show the American people their true colors as the radical communists that they are,” he declared.
That's right. RADICAL COMMUNISTS are invading Washington, and apparently the only thing standing between America and the Red Menace is Tom Emmer and his fellow Republicans.
Of course, there's one little problem with his cocky bluster:
Democrats just won a double majority in the election BIGLY. The voters have already had a chance to consider Republican accusations that Democrats are communists, and voted them in in droves anyway.
We think Republicans would have better luck if they spent less time calling their opponents communists and more time figuring out why Americans voted them out of power.
The people spoke. And we didn’t want the likes of you any more.
See you in January.
