People like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, who support war and genocide and oppose wildly popular programs like universal healthcare, are reaping the benefits of the backlash to Trump after taking zero accountability for the horrors their party unleashed.
That's why you hear so many calls to block them from majority leader and speaker. Will be interesting to see how that plays out.

The Senate needs 27 Dems to flip for Schumer to not be speaker. And there are fewer possible votes to get.
The House needs 34. Only 7 more votes out of 254 members.
If these Senators can have the courage to come out against Schumer, the House margin can totally be overcome too.

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…

Democrats could have more productive discussions about electability if centrist moron pundits stopped trying to shove bought and paid for do-nothing candidates down our collective throats and telling struggling working people that "better things just aren't possible."

We packed Hakeem Jeffries' office to urge him to speak up about the most pressing issues facing people in the U.S.
We asked him to speak out about cutting the $1.5 trillion war budget, stop funding the war on Iran, and oppose the US-Israeli military merger.

Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer will take your energy, your righteous anger, the mandate you’ve handed the Democratic Party and they’ll sit on it until the air is out of the bag.
The Democratic Party can’t be this corrupt any more. We need new leadership.

Y’all need to stop trying to turn this Hakeem Jeffries situation into a race issue. For many of us, it’s about his unwavering support for Israel while our tax dollars fund what we believe is genocide. And you conveniently leave out that we don’t want Chuck Schumer either. Schumer isn’t Black. The opposition is for the same reason. It’s about policy, not race.

You cannot have a NYC trifecta, two of whom used to celebrate Roy Cohn's birthday together at Studio 54 (Trump and Schumer), and all three of whom are drenched in AIPAC and mafia money, leading the USA. That will not work out.

We are witnessing a massive strategic error by Democrats to support Jeffries. They are violating a crucial political rule for the left: be honest with people and treat them as adults. I explained why it matters in my recent essay Why Is Everyone Lying: equalityalec.substack.com/p/…

I ran several of my articles — that I wrote, entirely, on my own, without the assistance of artificial intelligence — through the same program, @pangram, that Max relied on for this article.
Several of my human-written articles were flagged, wrongly, as AI.
So...
From the @semafor media newsletter: Unlabeled AI writing is all over the pages of local news organizations across the country. Opponents of Waymo, for example, have been placing op-eds partially or almost entirely written with AI in local newspapers.

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.”

Hopefully this report is just the beginning. Epstein assistant Leslie Groff, the committee said, was “not credible” — and two former federal prosecutors in South Florida — Matthew Menchel and Bruce Reinhart, who is now a judge, likely helped Epstein evade prosecution.
Today, we released a report detailing the findings and recommendations from our review of the federal government’s mishandling of the Epstein and Maxwell cases.
Our mission was clear: bring transparency to the American people and accountability for survivors.
Over the past 15 months, Chairman @RepJamesComer led an investigation that included 19 interviews and depositions, numerous subpoenas, a review of financial records, and more.
Here's what we found. 👇🏻

🎥 “We’re going to impose sanctions on Israel for the crime of apartheid until the end of apartheid.”
Ahmed Moor announced a Senate run challenging John Fetterman in Pennsylvania this morning and spoke with Drop Site contributor Areeba Fatima about his campaign and why he believes he is uniquely positioned to advance equal rights for Palestinians and Israelis.
“We’re going to copy the legislation which imposed comprehensive sanctions on South Africa for the crime of apartheid,” he said. “I know how to resolve this thing and we’re going to resolve it before my kids are in high school.”
The Gaza-born, U.S.-raised Moor also discussed his campaign’s “dignity agenda”: universal childcare, access to healthcare and affordable housing. People who live in grinding poverty, he argues, are not truly free.
He said he would visit all 67 Pennsylvania counties to build a coalition around the right to a dignified life.

“We can’t challenge Jeffries because nobody is challenging Jeffries” is the kind of circular logic that drives people insane

I can't tolerate this gaslighting anymore! The UK government has armed Israel, supported them with military intelligence & goodness knows what Starmer was referring to in Cyprus! They have destroyed our civil & human rights to protect this racist genocidal entity, been mass arresting us for opposing its crimes, they have helped dismantle international law, protected well known paedos connected to that state, taken their dirty money, signed military agreements with these baby killers, integrated AI systems used in genocide into our NHS & other public services, they are now using a corporation heavily implicated in war crimes to write a 10yr gov't plan & have a partnership with an Israeli company to hasten the destruction of our environment! Did I miss anything?!

This is obscenely too late & too little.
Palestine Action didn’t ‘stand by’ whilst offering material support to the Israeli regime for the last 3 years+.
Palestine Action protested the war crimes in Gaza. Your Gov labelled them terrorists & over 4000 peaceful protestors have been arrested for their support of Palestine Action since then. They continue to be arrested.
Your Party has labelled the Green’s antisemitic for consistently opposing the Genocide in Gaza & naming the racist ideology, Zionism, that underpins the Israeli regimes murderous actions.
Your Government is a disgrace & history will remember this.
