Infinite aura, what a stud
Don Leonard gives an exclusive update to Joy Reid on his conversation today with Hakeem Jeffries:
“I said, ‘Look, the Democratic Establishment is in the toilet, they think we’re as bought out by the corporate interests as the Republicans, and to be totally candid, Leader Jeffries, your name is synonymous with the Democratic Establishment…”

“Nuh uh no fair!!! Oh well” - Democrat leadership ancient proverb
HOUSE MINORITY WHIP KATHERINE CLARK's office sent out this note to members about the TCAVA vote:
"After publicly announcing a recorded vote on TCAVA, House Republicans asked if RM Takano and Democrats would agree to last minute engrossment corrections. While RM Takano and staff were evaluating these changes away from the podium, House Republicans called the vote up and passed it by voice within minutes — depriving RM Takano of the ability to even evaluate the proposed changes and ask for a recorded vote so Members could vote against the biggest cut to veterans benefits in US history."

Democrats fail to call for a recorded vote and GOP passes its bill that cuts veteran disability benefits and forces veterans to pay more to use VA home loan benefits … on Veterans Day
This is the type of thing that would ideally be paid attention to and handled by party leadership. In this case, that would be Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Whip Katherine Clark.
This is less than 24 hours after they failed to whip members on a vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which failed by a 210-204 vote margin with 11 absent Dem members.

If by "moderates" you mean the two most extremist pro-Israel zealots left standing in the caucus.

😬 Rep. Jonathan Jackson told @hicharliecotton he couldn't wait another day to impeach Pete Hegseth... but somehow couldn't take a few more steps to the House floor for a vote.
You could say this after the Pats game. You can’t say this after home losses to the Dolphins and Raiders and a 23-point loss to the Chiefs
#Jets HC Aaron Glenn on the team’s 2-7 record:
“When you look at the 7 losses—and this is just the facts—five of the teams were playoff-caliber teams. I think five of them were one-score games. … We feel like we're on the cusp of trying to break through.”

Don Leonard isn't DSA. He's a frontline Dem who flipped a heavily Trump district.
The fact that Hakeem is threatening him, and thus threatening the Dem majority, is a total non-starter for leader.
It's a slap in the face of everyone who worked so hard for this blue wave.

It does not matter. I cannot stress enough how much it does not matter. Democrats failing to show up to a vote on something the public cares about is an abdication of responsibility and an insult to all those who made the election results what they ended up being.

having your first major action following a historic midterm victory being “literally not showing up” is current democratic leadership disrespecting everyone that went out to send a message in the voting booth.
Jeffries has to be out.

In the course of this, Chait cites a piece I wrote with 7 candidates, 6 of whom won, & focuses exclusively on the one who lost and never mentions the main subject of the profile, Randy Villegas, who is going to win a Trump seat that moderates historically lost by around 40 points
Democrats could have more productive discussions about electability if leftists admitted their message is a small (often surmountable) penalty, not a huge bonus theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/1…
Searchlight in bio, Fetterman staffer, give this guy the gold medal in the bad faith Olympics
((I would take the anti-Schumer arguments much more seriously if they came after Democrats suffered a devastating majority losing loss in ‘24 as opposed to right before a competitive presidential primary is set to kickoff after historic wins in ‘26))

Democrats are vastly underestimating just how fed up voters are with this tired routine
