This would take the choice of who gets elected away from the average person and into the hands of wealthy and big corporations. Looks like gorrell is getting his marching orders from big oil.

ABSOLUTELY INSANE.
THE HOUSE DEMOCRATIC ****WHIP**** WAS THROWING THE FUNDRAISING BASH THAT KEPT DEMOCRATS FROM VOTING TO SEND THE HEGSETH IMPEACHMENT VOTE TO THE FLOOR.
Katherine Clark is the Democratic Whip in the House, and it is thus her responsibility to ensure members are there to vote.
Clark is also a founding member of EDW, which hosted an event tonight from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, overlapping with the 5:30pm vote on the Hegseth impeachment.
Of the 11 members who missed the Hegseth vote, 8 have received support from EDW or its AIPAC-tied super PAC EDW Action. Of those 8, two are sitting board members.

Jeffries didn’t even whip the vote. He told people to “vote their conscience,” and 11 members of his caucus didn’t show up. This is why people want a stronger leader.
These Democrats were recorded as “Not Voting.”
Had all 11 voted no, it would have failed 211–215, and the House would have moved toward a vote on impeachment itself.
Brownley — California
Correa — California
Gillen — New York
Horsford — Nevada
Jackson — Illinois
Pelosi — California
Pettersen — Colorado
Stansbury — New Mexico
Stevens — Michigan
Strickland — Washington
Wilson — Florida
*I understand Correa is having health challenges.

I'm seeing Mark Ruffalo promoting a petition to block Hakeem Jeffries from becoming the next Speaker of the House, while Hasan Piker, Mehdi Hasan, George Conway, Ron Filipkowski and others are criticizing his remarks on Morning Joe yesterday.
So I have to ask: Did they actually watch his FULL interview?
🔵 Jeffries didn't dismiss accountability. He explicitly DEMANDED it.
🔵 He clearly connected Trump's corruption to the affordability crisis.
🔵 He explained how Trump's war in Iran contributed to higher gas, diesel, fertilizer and grocery costs.
🔵 And he promised congressional oversight guided by facts, law and the Constitution.
🔵 And he made the distinction between ACCOUNTABILITY and RETRIBUTION.
That distinction matters.
Democrats didn't just win an election. They made promises to millions of Americans struggling to afford groceries, housing, healthcare and basic necessities.
Now is the time to unify and deliver, not for ignorant divisiveness that weakens our collective power.
LET'S BE CLEAR: Delivering does NOT mean giving Trump or anyone else a free pass.
Jeffries was beyond clear about the below ⤵
‣ Investigate corruption.
‣ Follow the money.
‣ Issue subpoenas.
‣ Hold wrongdoers accountable.
‣ And if the evidence supports impeachment, pursue it.
But making impeachment the opening act before the new Congress even convenes? That's not a substitute for governing.
Jeffries understands that Democrats have to do BOTH.
Criticism is healthy. Holding leadership accountable is essential. But there's a difference between demanding results and undermining a prospective Speaker before he's had the opportunity to deliver.
#AffordabilityAndAccountability pave the path to the future we're all fighting for.
Not retribution. Not political theater.
Listen to what Jeffries is actually saying before attacking him. And watch the FULL FUCKING interview ⤵ before yapping your fucking traps!

Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

Yes! MUST have Medicare for All!
@RepJeffries & @SenSchumer power exists to serve the people, all the people, not the corporate donors.
This system is KILLING US!
Getting sick should not bankrupt anyone or put us in fear of financial ruin.
Lead, follow or get out of the way!
Time for a New New Deal!

Can you imagine any other country boasting their corrupting our congress against the American people? I’m Jewish and have zero interest in sending our money to Israel. We need #MedicareForAll
AIPAC congratulates the hundreds of pro-Israel Democrats and Republicans who won their elections last night. More than 234 candidates supported by AIPAC members have already won, with many additional races still too close to call. We congratulate Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries on the resounding victories for their caucuses.
AIPAC members are determined to expand their political activism in the cycles ahead. Our community will increase its support for Democrats and Republicans who recognize that a strong partnership with Israel helps keep both countries secure, advances peace and stability, promotes democratic values, and grows our economy through trade and innovation.

Three months ago, Haley Stevens said Mike Rogers was a fraud, a rubber stamp for Donald Trump, and unfit to serve in the Senate.

You are endorsing a national abortion ban. You are endorsing people with brown faces, no matter their legal status, be thrown into Miller’s concentration camps. You are voting for a disgusting pedophile enabler. You are voting for Trump. You are voting for bigotry.

You backed @AbdulElSayed a day ago. Now you suddenly back MAGA Mike. Trump endorsed candidate. You are a traitor, and a disgrace.

Haley Stevens says she's endorsing Mike Rogers over Abdul because Michiganders are "not about hate." Meanwhile Rogers has run the most hate filled, anti-Muslim campaign ever. He has featured speakers who have smeared ALL Muslims as jihadists and a threat. She is endorsing that!
