Lawrence O'Donnell has a unique perspective that must be considered. You can't just dump Schumer. There has to be a replacement and Schumer will have to help. Has to be a change without poisonous division.
The Kushner/Jeffries meeting. Didn't know about it. Now do. It is disqualifying. Private business conversations with a target of corruption investigations is either gross stupidity or corruption or private dealmaking by Jeffries. Can't be Speaker. Now a symbol of corporate influence.
Be cautious about impeachment. Except for Hegseth. Need a thorough house investigation for support. I think military will (in its own way) support exposing Hegseth. He has and continues to put our country in danger, to make us more vulnerable in this world.
Is Epstein a big enough deal to justify a special committee to investigate? Maybe a joint committee? It could include the history of it beginning back in 2007 Florida. The J 6 committee did real good work. It was important for the nation. Is Epstein (and two-tiered justice) deserving of this?
Talking heads saying Jeffries can ignore 25 to 30 dems, reach out to a few repubs, and get things done. There's praise for all the "moderate" dems elected. This is corporate America, even on MSNow, attacking progressives. Progressive ideas won this election, but corporate money never stops.
Congressional progressives can decide if Jeffries is Speaker, but Schumer has to go. Can he do what Biden and Pelosi couldn't? They couldn't transition in the new wave of progressive leadership. I would be happy to give him a year to do it, but there has to be signs of change right away.
Woke up this morning with the very gratifying but juvenile fantasies of retaliation behind me. Can only progress with justice and accomplishments. Talking heads already yakking about all the moderate dems elected and how Jeffries will be able to court republican votes. Not quite the right path.
Now need to figure out how to walk and chew gum. Dems will have two powers - power to investigate and power to send legislation to the White House. There is more to do than can be done. Must prioritize. 1 a. Economic/health security for voters 1 b. Irrefutable evidence of corruption.
🇺🇸 and 🇷🇺 stand together as every other country refuse to be involved with anything RUSSIA RUSSIA❕ When you piss on your allies, engage in tariff wars you don’t make 🇺🇸 Great❕
Billionaires Have Spent $1.6 Billion To Steal Our Election. TAX THE RICH.......
This Haley Stevens thing isn't for Abdul to deal with. This is for Gretchen Whitmer and the dem establishment. She is your girl. Abdul can keep campaigning on the things that matter to Michiganders. Time to see the dem establishment get involved in this campaign for real.
Mike Rogers is what white supremacy in a fleece vest looks like
Their hate, fear, and bigotry are tools to distract you from the fact that they have no plan to get costs under control, no plans to stand up against Trump's fascist regime, and no spine.
When we fight for working people, we win. I'm so honored to stand with AFGE District 7.
Home stretch. Abdul can win. It could help change the direction of the country. Do some little thing today to help. Now is the time.
Living with a medical condition in this country has never been harder. Pass Medicare for All. So families can breathe again.
Last few days. Republicans showing us the worst of ourselves and it is exhausting. But you can do just a little something to counteract the gloom. Have you voted yet? Of course you are going to, but go ahead and get it done. And send a few bucks to Abdul. The one little thing you do today
