Hear me out. The Speaker of the House doesn’t have to be a sitting member of Congress. Why not consider a few Democratic rock stars who are out of office? They could focus full-time on running the House without juggling a district’s needs and a reelection campaign. Just saying! 🤔
If the system is rigged, and you win anyway, that is your one and only chance to unrig it.

Imho, all bills should be single-issue-bills. We've watched them sneak shit into bills - that needs to end immediately. There should be rules that stop massive omnibus spending or hidden provisions. They've tried in the past, but both sides are unwilling to make it happen.
PSA: You don’t get to refuse to support Zohran and actively oppose Abdul and take money from AIPAC and oppose Medicare for All and be chicken shit about abolishing ICE… then turn around and act shocked that people don’t see you as leadership material. @SenSchumer @RepJeffries
Dr. El-Sayed is right. Let's hope that he's one of many who are ready to lead the way. We need politicians who actually fight for change rather than just promising it before they win their elections.
For five years, Clarence Thomas told the government his wife made nothing. She made more than $680,000. You’d be in trouble for that. He kept his lifetime seat. He shouldn't. He needs to be impeached. Agreed?
Democrats need new leadership to keep the youth vote. #wedemandchange

I need everyone to remember this, and tell everyone you know. Trump and Republicans passed massive Medicaid cuts in their “Big Beautiful Bill,” with the most major cuts delayed until AFTER the midterms. A world of hurt is coming. Don’t blame Dems.

1. We won the House. We won the Senate. This is what a blue wave looks like, and it happened because of voters like us. We did the work, we made the calls, we donated. Now we have to make sure the party we just handed power to actually uses it. 🧵 #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
Wait, Trump told us their nuclear program was completely obliterated so all the cost of the war in lives, injuries, money, destroyed bases, aircraft, depleted missile stocks, gas/diesel prices, on and on were all worth it. Now we’re giving out rewards to people to help us? WTF?
