NEW: Chuck Schumer is preparing to lead the Senate with a network of former aides lobbying for private equity—including two former policy chiefs and his top health adviser. Their clients include Blackstone, Apollo, and the industry’s top trade group. readsludge.com/2026/11/06/th…
The Private Equity Lobbyist Network Surrounding Chuck Schumer

The Private Equity Lobbyist Network Surrounding Chuck Schumer

Blackstone, Apollo, and private equity trade groups employ Schumer alumni to push their interests in Washington as progressive senators push for tougher restrictions on the industry.

They didn’t drag him over the finish line. The democrat he beat endorsed his republican opponent

True, but Talarico didn’t really nationalize the race, whereas El-Sayed needed the entire Dem constellation to help drag him over the finish line in a state that hadn’t elected a Republican Senator since the Clinton Administration. In a D+15 environment.

When Republicans won they did not reach across the aisle, they kidnapped hardworking people off the streets and sent them to a concentration camp surrounded by alligators where they feed them maggot infested food and laughed about it.

Both candidates ran on affordability, denounced billionaires and vowed to end needless wars. Both won by comfortable margins. Both are in the same party. But of course liberals will try to use the success of a guy named James to try to minimize the success of a guy named Abdul.

The fact that Talarico outperformed El Sayed by such an ungodly massive margin in a state that should be much harder to flip tells you everything you need to know about what direction the Democrats need to head in.

Jeffries’ and Schumer’s strategy was “do nothing and let maga policies hurt America till there’s backlash” Then zohran won with the strategy of helping now. All the candidates running adoped the zohran strategy. This is why Jeffries and schumer cannot be leaders

The DSA leftists can’t handle Hakeem Jeffries. They have no idea how any of this is done.

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points. (clip via @DropSiteNews)

If moderates moved to the progressive stance, that means the progressives won, and progressivism gets the credit. Thats why this discourse is so stupid, because moderate fanbois are pretending this didn’t happen

I think the big breakthrough of last night is that both progressives and moderate Dems are now vocally anti-billionaire, anti-AI, and reject AIPAC $

And why are you pretending that Janet Mills and Haley Stevens wouldn’t have won ? They would have won bigger

This is legit how the American People feel right now. Accountability isn’t revenge. It allows for healing and progress. We can address affordability AND hold them accountable for fleecing the American People. Folks are struggling and we haven’t seen the worst of it yet because all the horrible things go into effect next year. Keep your foot on their necks folks!

Since when did having an 18% approval rating become “very popular”???

YEP. Hakeem is very popular and has been preparing for this moment. Yet those idiotics leftists wants to pick a novice. This is about their desire to control the narrative.

Centrists are like: “sure, DSA candidates might have won 130+ co greasional seats, but most of them did not overperform the top 3 highest performing centrists, wnich means they are all unelectable, despite getting elected”

Replying to @envisionedluna
only delusional centrists can somehow claim that DSA winning over 130 new seats nationally is somehow a failure

Debbie Wasserman-Schultz who Israeled a Black district from Black candidates in the Dem primaries, sits for an interview with Jerusalem Post: "A proud Jew, an unapologetic Zionist, and a lifelong Democrat, she says the party will elect a pro-Israel majority."

Everyone thinks the congressional leaders are supposed to be inspirational or revolutionary. Theyre meticulous, background engineers, not supposed to be the star of the show. How many speakers can median american name? How many were well liked?

Yea I guess if you compare completely different races in completely different states in completely different parts of the country with completely different candidates this dumb thinking makes sense lol

What if people want a black speaker of the house who isn't bought & sold by @israel? Did you think of that? I mean @RepPressley is right there & people trust her. Unlike #AIPACShakur

Any Democrat that is still saying "we should work across the aisle" is just an idiot. I don't want to work with the KLAN.
