Proud to be coming into Congress alongside the largest freshman @USProgressives class yet.
I got verklempt at the presser thinking about Ady Barkan, who worked with CPC Chair @GregCasar & me on the Fight for $15, who testified at @PramilaJayapal’s first-ever Medicare for All hearing, and whose spirit infuses our fight to win lives of dignity for working people, to take on the billionaires who have rigged the economy, and to refuse to compromise on anyone's humanity, at home or abroad.
Let’s get to work.

The only person saying Schumer has the votes for Majority Leader is Schumer.
It's time to draft Chris Van Hollen, a proven leader. When everyone sat on their hands, CVH flew to El Salvador and fought for Kilmar Ábrego García.
He forced the Senate to vote on ending the war with Iran.
And he supports ending the Senate filibuster.
Voters elected a majority to fight back. It should be led by someone who's been in the fight all along. #DraftVanHollen
All these people care about is identity and performative politics. That’s their entire argument: historical! First Black Speaker!
And??? Is that all you have?

In hindsight, Abdul El-Sayed seems to have taken a lot of heat off other candidates with similar positions, who snuck past without much pro-Israel spending in their races

Chuck Schumer Should Prepare To Step Down As Senate Democratic leader
ms.now/opinion/chuck-schumer…
Why would we give up a senate seat AND a governorship???
I actually don’t think people are thinking the Ossoff thing through tbh. You guys realize what would need to happen right? For both of them? (And I like him. I actually wouldn’t mind him as president.)

a democrat party led by mamdani instead of schumer and jeffries is gonna get us to 450 electoral votes easy
Scoop: Zohran Mamdani has been meeting privately with union leaders, urgently talking up the need for a labor-aligned or leftist candidate to run for president, people familiar with the talks tell me.
He's arguing that progressives can't afford to squander their midterm momentum.
Behind closed doors, Mamdani has also said he's uncertain whether AOC will launch a White House run, the sources said.

“I don’t think it’ll pass.”
Why?
“Because I don’t support it”
Why?
“Because I don’t think It’ll pass”
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.”
