Incoming Rep. Don Leonard — who has gone viral — tells me senior Democrats threatened him with “consequences” if he refuses to back Hakeem Jeffries for House Speaker

This little liar got caught.
Rep. Jonathan Jackson (D) @rep_jackson claimed he was stuck in a traffic jam so he couldn’t vote to impeach Pete Hegseth. But TMZ saw him on the steps of the Capitol 10 mins before the vote.

AIPAC's contributions to Ayanna Pressley: $0
AIPAC's contributions to Hakeem Jeffries: $1,741,230.
The American people want leaders with integrity.

Democrats have a mandate from the people and our new majority must meet the moment.
That means governing boldly and using our gavels to deliver accountability for the corruption, cruelty, and harm inflicted by Trump and Republicans over the past two years.

⭕️ BREAKING: Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-Mass.) launched her own petition Wednesday asking supporters to "endorse Ayanna's agenda" for the new Democratic majority, as a separate grassroots petition to make her speaker instead of Hakeem Jeffries nears 20,000 signatures.
Her agenda says nothing about the genocide in Gaza, US military aid and arms sales to Israel, or the war on Iran. “If it were up to Ayanna Pressley," it says, Democrats would use their majority to fight for:
🔸 Medicare for All
🔸 National abortion protections
🔸 "Stopping data centers" and regulating the AI industry
🔸 "Abolishing ICE."
"We need to show that this agenda has strong support," Pressley wrote. Her petition doesn't mention the speakership.

I have come to the conclusion that Hakeem Jeffries is the most serious threat to the progressive agenda in the country, more so than Trump himself, and that any progressive not loudly, actively opposing Jeffries is actively betraying their movement.

Katherine Clark (@WhipKClark) who is running for House Majority Leader is a founding member of the”Elect Democrat Women (EDW)” which served as a major pass-thru for AIPAC $ in the midterms
Several Dems missed the Hegseth vote because they were at an EDW event

On Tuesday, voters in Providence, Rhode Island overwhelmingly passed an ordinance requiring the city to divest from companies that enable genocide, apartheid, and human rights violations.
"The ordinance is the Palestine solidarity movement’s first binding municipal divestment law passed through popular vote in the U.S. — and makes Providence the largest U.S. city to vote to divest from Israel."
“Millions of dollars in Providence city funds are invested in companies facilitating and profiting from the Israeli genocide in Gaza, apartheid system in the occupied West Bank, and ongoing assault on Lebanon and Iran,” Jewish Voice for Peace-Rhode Island explained in a press release. “In addition, Providence has a 20-year history of investing millions in Israel Bonds, which function as direct, no-strings-attached loans to the Israeli government and military.”
“It was regular people who said, ‘we are going to create this ordinance, we are going to get enough signatures to get this on the ballot, we are not waiting for our elected officials to do something, we are going to do that work ourselves to make it happen,’”

I know people have mixed feelings about speaking up about AOC. She’s a very smart and talented woman, but she’s been in Congress long enough. The cutsie, “I’m just helpless but really good at explaining things” act needs to be over. The people aren’t stupid and they want change.

Virginia resident calls out Speaker Johnson on air:
As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party, and I'm very disappointed in you. You do have the power to call the House back. You refused to do that just for a show. I am begging you to pass this legislation. My kids could die. We don't have the credit because of the medical bills that I have to pay regularly.
I think that it is awful and the audacity of someone who makes 6 figures a year to do this to military families is insane.

The Washington Post reported that Benjamin and Sara Netanyahu had developed a reputation among staff at Blair House (the U.S. presidential guesthouse) for bringing bags and suitcases of dirty laundry from Israel to be cleaned free of charge by U.S. staff.
An unnamed U.S. official said, “The Netanyahus are the only ones who bring actual suitcases of dirty laundry for us to clean. After multiple trips, it became clear this was intentional.”
