Didn’t use my Twitter for years then it got hacked by a pornbot and some friends texted me. The beach header was added by the bot but I left it cause it’s nice

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.”

Amazing work naming young people’s desire for a future on a habitable planet Earth as a “group’s” “wish list.”
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.

Is this who we should be trying to cut energy deals with right now?
Or should we work with a democratic Congress to get the best possible deal for the American people.
If we learned anything last Tuesday it’s this: give the people what they want. And that’s not this deal.

If you pay $15,000 a year in health insurance premiums but only need $3,000 worth of medical care, where do you think the rest of your money goes?
You’re already helping pay for other people’s healthcare. That’s literally how insurance works.
The argument was never really about whether we should pay for each other.

interesting that just three weeks ago there was this poll showing how much Kansans loathe health insurance companies
HAMILTON: “I don't think Medicare for all is the right approach. And even though it sounds great, I don't think it's going to pass… I think what we need to do is figure out, how do we ensure that everyone has access to affordable health care, no matter who they are? But I think even using the term Medicare for all alienates a whole group of people that we need to be able to pass some kind of health care reform that allows everyone to have affordable health care.”

PLEASE GOD DONT TAKE AWAY MY PRIVATE INSURANCE, I LOVE MY $10,000 DEDUCTIBLE
“The majority of Democrats did not run on Medicare for All. You think Adam Hamilton got elected in KS by saying he wants to kick everyone off their private insurance?”
We should fight for universal healthcare. Not force a vote on a bill voters don't want.

Schumer shouldn't get the gavel by default.
Chris Van Hollen is one of the Senate's most progressive voices, a lawyer facing an administration that breaks the law, and he ran the DCCC in the 2008 wave. He says he's not looking to be majority leader. Let's change his mind.

“schumer is so widely despised by his own party that he’s almost certainly not running for re-election to avoid the humiliation of being primaried. this is why he should be the senate majority leader”
these people are beyond parody
Let’s break this down logically.
Schumer knows these are his last two years in office. If you know anything about him, you’d know that he would want to end his career on his own terms and go out on top.
He knows that if he ran again, he would lose renomination. Which is why I — and essentially everyone that works in Democratic politics in New York across the ideological spectrum — would be absolutely stunned if he runs for re-election.
So why would someone launching a primary campaign against him before January change his plans to run for majority leader?
He likely views these last two years as majority leader as his swan song.

Voters do not see Schumer or Jeffries as "moderate leaders." They see them as part of a corrupt DC swamp that they voted against. That's why their approval rating is lower than Trump.
That's why Talarico has said we should have change and Turek hasn't committed to Schumer. They both know that voting for Schumer is going to make it tougher for them to win re-election.
