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”🤔)

This tweet exchange is everything.
It perfectly illustrates that Corporate Dems and their pundits are genuinely angry at the entire idea of populist candidates getting elected and then actually attempting to fulfill the policy promises they made to voters.

🇺🇸 Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) said Tuesday that if Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer runs unopposed for majority leader, Democrats should withhold quorum, denying the caucus enough members to hold its leadership vote, until he presents a clear plan that members have a voice in. "Whoever wants my vote is gonna have to show me a concrete plan that's definitively different," she said.
Slotkin, a moderate who has already called for replacing Schumer, rejected framing the fight as progressives versus moderates, calling it "team fight vs. team flight."

Today, I led 11 of my Senate colleagues in calling on House & Senate leadership to strip the upcoming defense bill of provisions that MANDATE defense & intelligence cooperation with Israel — including one advanced by Netanyahu himself.
This doesn’t make us safer, see why ⬇️

Major ideological confrontation underway in the Senate in the leadership fight between Van Hollen and Schumer. Here’s Van Hollen calling for stripping section 219 of the NDAA (the Israeli military fusion provision)

The 11 Democrats who didn’t vote on Hegseth’s impeachment:

Insane that 11 Democrats couldn't even bother to show up for an impeachment vote after the actual voters rejected the Iran War. What is going on?

It’s just too pathetic watching the few remaining Trump supporters trying to dunk on Massie. You should probably wait more than a week after that catastrophic beat down to start talking about who’s “taking Ls.”
Massie was absolutely right about the war that ruined Trump’s Presidency. Everyone knows that.
He introduced articles of impeachment against Hegseth for killing school girls for fucks sake.. This wasn’t lying about a blow job, fake ass Ukraine-gate or that obvious inside job Jan 6th. Good for him for doing it.
If you had listened to Massie instead of Levin, you would be sitting on majorities right now.

TO EVERY NEW DEMOCRAT ELECTED IN THE HOUSE:
TELL ME SPECIFICALLY WHICH DEMS ARE THREATENING YOU TO FALL IN LINE.
IF THEY MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL, MYSELF AND ALL LEFT-WING MEDIA WILL MAKE THEIR LIVES HELL. REACH OUT.
Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

WHAT ARE WE DOING PEOPLE
These 11 House Democrats missed the vote that blocked Hegseth’s impeachment effort. Just seven voting against it would have defeated the motion:

Steven Horsford (NV)
Jonathan Jackson (IL)
Nancy Pelosi (CA)
Brittany Pettersen (CO)
Melanie Stansbury (NM)
Haley Stevens (MI)
Marilyn Strickland (WA)
Frederica Wilson (FL)

The disgusting privilege and entitlement from a guy with HALF Trump’s approval rating. Nuke the seniority system and the egos of these pricks squandering the massive democratic energy.

Jeffries didn’t even whip the vote. He told people to “vote their conscience,” and 11 members of his caucus didn’t show up. This is why people want a stronger leader.
These Democrats were recorded as “Not Voting.”
Had all 11 voted no, it would have failed 211–215, and the House would have moved toward a vote on impeachment itself.
Brownley — California
Correa — California
Gillen — New York
Horsford — Nevada
Jackson — Illinois
Pelosi — California
Pettersen — Colorado
Stansbury — New Mexico
Stevens — Michigan
Strickland — Washington
Wilson — Florida
*I understand Correa is having health challenges.

Democrats will have a 56-seat majority in the US Senate. We need to use it. Pass Medicare for All.

A real question: At what point do people at CAP start deciding they're going to resign because they don't want to work for a leader who spends most of her time on Twitter, and who uses that time mostly to try to build her own brand by sabotaging a Democratic agenda?
Neera Tanden at The National Press Club:
The next two years should not be an opportunity for every group in DC to dust off their wish list for the last decade.
It's not a time to pressure Congress to fruitlessly spend time, political capital on ideas that we couldn't get done in a Democratic trifecta just a few years ago.

Holy shit she's just saying it out loud. Even though the voters overwhelmingly came out for radical change, she is saying "don't ask for it, you're getting more of the same that lead to Trump twice."
Neera and her ilk want to incrementalize us into Super Hitler in 2028/2032.
