  RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/117583747761802933 Probably the best thing you read today! 👀 Will Bunch, who may be the finest political writer on the planet, makes the powerful case for drafting Chris Van Hollen for the job of Majority Leader citing as a testement his inspirational leadership fighting for the release of Ábrego García when others, like Chuck Schumer, failed to stand firm and fight back.

  Opinion: Chris Van Hollen fought when no one else would. Make him Dems’ leader. | Will Bunch | Philadelphia Enquirer The Democratic landslide on Tuesday happened not because of the party elites — as epitomized by Schumer and Jeffries — but in spite of them. First, call Van Hollen’s office and urge him to run for the job. But more importantly, call your own Democratic member of the Senate and tell them that Schumer cannot return as leader... https://archive.ph/xRngz#selection-1495.0-1503.1

  Breaking News: Senator Elect Adam Hamilton (D-KS) | "I Won't Support Chuck Schumer" I won't support Chuck Schumer. Blue Wave will be 'one and done' if Dems don't help people. I mean no disrespect to Chuck Schumer... but he is a polarizing figure. It is time for new ideas and somebody who can unite us instead of dividing us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o76TPcREj8s

  Just to state really clearly what is going here. The New York Times is leading an information warfare operation to mislead the public that Chuck Schumer has the votes, and is the inevitable next Majority Leader. This is not the case. Schumer has significant and growing opposition both from new and incumbent Senators. We have see the New York Times use this disinformation tactic many times before. Do not be misled. https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/117536299911092203

  Good question... Cheri Jacobus: Why should Dems elect as Speaker a guy who normalized and met with the guy "to find common ground" who handed over this other guy to be murdered by the guy who paid him $2 billion?

  When the New York Times has three prominent articles everyday about how Chuck Schumer is the inevitable next Majority Leader, the one thing you know for sure is that Chuck Schumer is NOT the inevitable next Majority Leader.

• View post

  No More Secrets! One thing to about all these article that report that Schumer has enough Democratic Senator votes to be elected Majority Leader is that none of them actually mention which Senators actually are supporting him. On the other hand there are many articles about who is not supporting Schumer that list those who are publicly rejecting his leadership. Where is all this support? Let's name names. This can not happen in the dark. Senators now need to go on the record.

  Such an own goal... If Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer end up being the House and Senate majority leaders, they will enter those positions being MASSIVELY UNPOPULAR according to their favorability. Chuck Schumer: Favorable: 15% Unfavorable: 68% Net Favorability: -53% Hakeem Jeffries Favorable: 23% Unfavorable: 56% Net Favorability: -33% This is why we need NEW LEADERSHIP! h/t: The Tennessee Holler

  Whoever is pushing for Jeffries & Schumer to stay in leadership it sure as heck isn’t the people... An NBC poll from four days ago showed Hakeem Jeffries with an approval rating of 18%. Chuck Schumer at 13%. This should be case closed. Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries telling us they're gonna hold Republicans accountable and stop taking AIPAC money. 🤦‍♂️ h/t The Tennessee Holler

  Note that Schumer is telling the media that "Trump will be blocked from putting a right-winger on the Supreme court." What he is NOT saying is Trump will be blocked from putting ANYONE on the Supreme Court, correcting the injustices of Merrick Garland and RBG. Seriously folks, fight this battle now, or surrender to years of frustration and dissappointment.

  Folks, don't give up on the issue of the Democratic Congressional leadership. We did not come this far to hand power back over to these billionaire corporate backed politicians. This is the seminal issue right now. Make some noise.

  Hakeem Jeffries pre-surrendering to Trump, two months before the new Democratic-led Congress takes office. Imagine spending all that energy, time and money to save the nation, only for them to declare that stopping corruption isn’t a priority.

  OK, we fought hard and we won, but we are not done yet. If Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries become Majority Leader and House Speaker the will of #WeThePeople will continue to be subverted to corporate interests. We have come too far to not complete the restoration of our popular democracy and the #RuleOfLaw. Replacing Schumer and Jeffries with progressive fighters is the battle we must now win lest this victory be squandered. There is nothing more important right now.

  As expected this morning, the media is all about characterizing pursuing accountability as retribution, and restoration of the #RuleOfLaw as vindictiveness. #WeThPeople can not let this propaganda effort sidetrack the important work of saving democracy by driving these fascist criminals out of power. 1/

  Perhaps the biggest long term implication is no more Supreme Court picks for Trump. If Dems win the presidency in 2028 we pick up Alito and Thomas's seats most likely, maybe even Roberts.
