Chris Van Hollen fought when no one else would. Make him Dems’ leader. | Will Bunch
The Establishment’s race to keep Schumer and Jeffries as leaders must be stopped if Dems want to hold onto their midterm gains. Maryland’s senior senator should be on the shortlist.

Damn… Los Angeles… the people REALLY don’t want @SenSchumer & @RepJeffries
Senator-Elect Abdul El-Sayed endorsed Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader! Call the U.S. Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 to tell Senators: “Chris, not Chuck.”

Schumer and Jeffries Must Go—Let’s Call Every Day to Make It Happen
The sad truth is that many “public servants” are already fully aware of what the people need but simply don’t care because their megadonors are more important.

My senators and representatives still back Schumer and Jeffries. You may say you want Medicare for All or other policies but then keep in place men you know won't let that happen. You may be "nice" collaborators, but if you back pro-genocide leaders, you're still collaborators. That's not okay.
Get rid of Schumer and Jeffries! “Pragmatic” centrists will tell us it can’t be done, that we have no choice but to put up with corporate, pro-genocide “leaders.” Just because THEY are collaborators with awful people doesn’t mean WE need to be. Let’s call every day. And get out in the streets.
Get rid of Schumer and Jeffries! Being funded by AIPAC is not a skill set. If Dems can't find anyone better, then they aren't even "the lesser evil." They're just evil. Let's take to the streets if we must. We can't let our own party bully us. Get rid of Schumer and Jeffries!

An easy layup is banning congressional stock-trading; expand it to include White House and SCOTUS. It would be incredibly popular So popular it may peel away enough Rs worried about being tarred with corruption that it overrides Trump’s veto

When Democrats have the power, we have to use it. Universal childcare. Paid leave. Medicare for All. Abolishing ICE. No more incrementalism or moderating our aspirations. We need to do the work of repair, restoration, and reconstruction.
Sorry Schumer, The times, they are a changing and leadership must be willing and able to follow.
Corporate Democratic donors literally do not give a shit about the base or the people. It's about power and holding on to it by any means necessary. www.axios.com/2026/11/06/j...

“Block and move on” has done wonders for my mental health on The Websites, and I think it can (sometimes!) be a good thing to do in politics too.
Headquarters@headquartersnews.bsky.social · 2d agoQ: I’m told that Vivek Ramaswamy left you a congratulatory phone call. Have the two of you spoken? Governor-elect Amy Acton: We can’t normalize behavior like this. It was so beyond the pale, so no, I have no intention of speaking to him. Leaders’ words matter and we need to hold folks accountable.
We need to go to the social media accounts of our senators and representatives and PUBLICLY demand they get rid of Schumer and Jeffries. And replace them with BOLD leaders.
