Pramila Jayapal is a YES on Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker. Maybe listen to the people who have worked closest with him for years, they know his work ethic better than anyone.

Haley Stevens: "I have stood with the Jewish community when it was easy and when it was hard, and I am not going to stop now."
Me: 60% of Jewish voters in Michigan voted for El Sayed.
What she calls "the Jewish community" doesn't exist. It is a concept used to manipulate us. We fiercely disagree and oppose each other. That's not a community. But that's how it is.
Haley Stevens and others like her are obsessed with fantasy Jews and don't see the real ones all around them, such as former U.S. Rep. Andy Levin who she took millions in AIPAC money to kick out of Congress.

I get the impulse run a DSA/leftist candidate in '28 but the DSA underperformed across the board. Running one anyway would ignore the voters who handed us this victory
A Wave is an opportunity to push, but not at the expense of the will of the voters Remember the "MAGA Mandate"?

Fun fact: Even if you snapped Cook County away into the ether, every single statewide Dem in Illinois *still would have won this year*

Mainstream candidates trounced, and left candidates underperformed to differing degrees.
This narrative just doesn’t fit what happened.
Here’s the thing, Nancy. Last night wasn’t just the American people defeating Republicans. It was the American people rejecting the establishment, spineless, corporate wing of the Democratic Party. Makes no sense to maintain the leadership of that wing.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Comparing candidates on electoral swings shows the opposite: progressive candidates vastly underperformed the moderate ("establishment") ones. Without the large shift seen in the national electoral environment, they likely would have lost.

We’re mostly joking around tonight but we’re actually going to imprison you

Very early, but I'm starting to think we won't all be getting $5000 checks.

I’ve known Haley Stevens for a long time. Until now, she has always had staff to protect her, prop her up, and keep her safe from her own irrational behavior. What we’re seeing now? This is just raw, unfiltered Haley.
The Haley who flip-flops and goes from thought to thought without rhyme or reason. The Haley that calls you at 3 AM to yell at you, and then calls you back at 5 AM oblivious to the fact that she even spoke with you at 3 AM. The Haley who bends to the last and loudest voice that tells her something.
More often than not that last voice is now her fiancé. And as you can see by what one of her former staff people posted earlier here on X, that appears to potentially be a really troubling relationship.
Up until this point, other than a joke I made on X a few days ago, I wasn't going to say anything public about Haley Stevens or how she has comported herself since the primary. It not only wasn't appropriate, I would never, ever want anyone to think I was speaking for or on behalf of my wife. But Haley's erratic choices mean I can no longer be silent about my interactions with her since the primary ended.
I approached Haley in the middle of September about putting her name to an Op-Ed attacking Mike Rogers for his unwillingness to denounce the antisemitic members of his own team, the $10 million in support he's received from Christian nationalist Tim Dunn, and his steadfast opposition to a woman's right to choose. The goal of the Op-Ed was to remind members of the Jewish community that Mike Rogers doesn't align with our values. The proposed Op-Ed never mentioned Abdul. The only thing it asked for was to not vote for Mike Rogers.
Initially she was very interested in it.
Then she wasn't.
Then she was again.
Then she wasn't.
She never signed it.
Literally the bare minimum - attack MAGA Mike Rogers, the guy who would have been running against you had you won the primary. And that was over a month ago. This is nothing new. This is just who Haley is. By the way, here's the Op-Ed that she wouldn't let me publish.

What I’m about to write is true and very funny. A few years ago; the company that makes Cards Against Humanity bought a piece of land in Texas which sits on the space X campus. On that land they are building a statue explicitly to annoy Elon Musk. 🧵
