Ayanna Pressley would represent the American people's beliefs infinitely better than Hakeem Jeffries.
She is the Speaker that meets the moment!!
Ye Olde Nerdcast retweeted
Representative Ayanna Pressley is emerging as a potential alternative to Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker as House Democrats are being bombarded by phone calls from constituents begging for new leadership.
Ye Olde Nerdcast retweeted
Here’s the thing, from what we hear no one is calling in to support keep leadership but thousands of calls are coming in to support generational change!
If this is the future you want you’re going to have to take action to make it happen.

I was told he was THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD WHIP VOTES
Pete Hegseth Impeachment FAILS after 11 House Dems fail to show up.
please @AyannaPressley @RepPressley would be so much better
Ye Olde Nerdcast retweeted
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”🤔)

Do you know who WOULDN'T let an impeachment vote for Pete Kegsbreath fail?

Clayface made more money with half the budget of Street Fighter, which was overseen by Skydance Film Chiefs from top to bottom.
Go fool somewhere else 😭
James Gunn and Peter Safran have been dismissed from DC Studios after their decade-long plans imploded, following a string of projects that lost money and failed to hook audiences.
Sources suggest the thinking was Gunn and Safran spent big — and lost too much — on projects that just weren’t resonating with audiences, raising eyebrows with their decision to focus on lesser-known characters like Supergirl and Clayface rather than building out the franchise with marquee names.
As one studio insider puts it: “The industry has taken away the wrong lessons from Marvel’s success. Higher budgets don’t equal quality storytelling.”

lack of cultural impact = depicting israel as evil
One of the reasons Skydance replaced James Gunn and Peter Safran as the heads of DC Studios had to do with box office.
• ‘Supergirl’ was a massive bomb this year.
• ‘Superman’s $618M box office was not impressive to Skydance either, as the film lacked “pop culture impact” in their eyes.

A quote from Eugene Debs I feel is important to the discourse around AOC

yall getting the Gunn jokes off as if Ellison’s Nazi regime isn’t cancelling Batman 3 in the next couple months lol. Gunn was basically the main defender for Reeves taking so long with the sequel. enjoy Dean Cain Superman and Armie Hammer Batman

At some point, we have to talk about @CookPolitical and other “prognosticators” who had me and other southern candidates labeled as solid R for much of the campaign cycle. They made it much more difficult to fundraise and are part of the reason the South has been neglected for so long.
They’re only a reflection of the past and mysteriously avoid any accountability when they’re wrong. One of their “analysts” was extremely condescending to me (not Jessica) when I tried to make my pitch for why they were wrong about my rating like he knew something about MS politics when he’s never been to the Sip. This attitude hurt Jaime Davis & others so much.

Centrism did not win the Democratic party the election
theguardian.com/us-news/2026…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Moderate Democrats vastly overperformed their expected margins.
All DSA-aligned candidates underperformed.
DSA-endorsed candidates ran against Democrats in the general election, not Republicans, and didn't flip a single House or Senate seat from Republican to Democrat.

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.
All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

WATCH: @hasanthehun points out not only did the @dscc not help @AngieNixon in Florida, they fundraised off searches for her name 🤔
@SenSchumer told her “WE’LL SEE” when she asked for help. She lost by 3 points.
That alone is enough for @SenateDems to “SEE” about a new leader

PSA: You don’t get to refuse to support Zohran and actively oppose Abdul and take money from AIPAC and oppose Medicare for All and be chicken shit about abolishing ICE… then turn around and act shocked that people don’t see you as leadership material. @SenSchumer @RepJeffries

Zohran Mamdani just did what most Democrats and Republicans are too gutless to do.
He looked straight into the camera and said the quiet part out loud:
Republicans called Obama a socialist every single day for 8 years. It didn’t stop him.
Now they’re trying the same tired red-baiting on anyone who wants a New Deal instead of the raw deal working people have been force-fed for decades.
People are hungry for something real. Not more corporate welfare dressed up as “moderation.” Not more “public-private partnerships” that somehow always privatize the profits and socialize the losses.
Mamdani is right. The socialist smear is a dead tactic.
The only question left is whether the Democratic Party has the spine to actually deliver for the people who keep electing them… or if they’ll keep protecting the same donors who’ve been extracting wealth from this country for 40 years.
Keep going, Mayor.
The old guard is terrified for a reason, the midterms have certainly proven a new worth. – at District of Columbia, USA
