A Palestinian child does not have to compete with a Black American child for my outrage. Both deserve to grow old. What an astonishingly low bar for civilization.

Now yall can stop acting like you cared about the identity politics 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️ Let’s go Ayanna
Ayanna Pressley hints at a run for Speaker of the House against Hakeem Jeffries "The people made it clear that they don’t want a Democratic Party that just asserts that they are the adults in the room. They want us to prove that we are the fighters."

Fascists like Alex Karp genuinely think the American people are stupid
Alex Karp now says that Palantir is progressive, he’s always been a Democrat, Trump went too far on immigration and his primary commitment is to economic justice. LMAOOOOOO

Dems need to understand: - it was NOT a blue wave - it was an ANTI-RED wave - an ANTI-AIPAC wave There is NOTHING Dems did that earned them a majority. They are useless. Jefferies & Schumer are despised. Any rep that wants to survive next election: act accordingly.

👀 Interesting… Ayanna Pressley is now encouraging people to endorse "Ayanna's Agenda." The page lists out what the Democratic majority would do "if it were up to Ayanna Pressley" —> – Medicare for All – National abortion protections – Stopping data centers – Abolishing ICE
Do you agree? We need to show that this agenda has strong support. Sign our petition at ayannapressley.com/agenda

BREAKING: CMS Board members say staff of Rep. David Willis (R) called them to say Willis is pursuing legislation to break up CMS and hold recall elections for the school board. The General Assembly could return to session as soon as next week. First reported by @CltLedger

You asked us to show up and vote. We expect the same courtesy.
Pete Hegseth is unfit and unqualified to serve as Secretary of Defense. House Republicans just chose to protect him over American servicemembers.

A week after the greatest political wipeout of our lifetimes, Schumer and Jeffries are… -Allowing Dems to stay home for Hegseth’s impeachment vote -Supporting a GOP-backed permitting reform deal that would ram data centers and Big Oil into our neighborhoods Got it.

The whole damn system is guilty as hell
Here’s @ryangrim pointing out some of the Dems who missed the Hegseth vote were coincidentally at a “new member reception” for a group that served as a pass-through for AIPAC money (Then claimed “stuck in traffic”🤔)

Hakeem Jeffries and Jim Clyburn are responsible here. Jeffries’ job is to know how everyone is going to vote and Clyburn’s job is to whip up the votes. 11 absences leading to a no vote means leadership does not mind Hegseth in leadership and probably does not mind the war. Shame!
Kamlager-Dove on Hegseth Impeachment: We knew that this vote was coming, so people should have gotten their raggedy selves up these steps to vote. There is no reason why we should have lost this vote because of attendance issues. You know this man should not be in this position. That’s why he got up at 8 o’clock in the morning with his sorry self to plead to the American people. So shame on folks who are not here. Because these people lost. They lost, and they still found a way to show up to table this bill. Shameful.

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."

“An impeachment vote cannot come soon enough” and then misses the vote lol
Since his nomination, I have been sounding the alarm about Hegseth’s dangerous incompetence.    An impeachment vote cannot come soon enough.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Rep. Marilyn Strickland did not vote on the House motion to refer the Pete Hegseth impeachment resolution (H. Res. 1655) to committee. clerk.house.gov/Votes/2026317
