Ayanna Pressley would represent the American people's beliefs infinitely better than Hakeem Jeffries. She is the Speaker that meets the moment!!

Representative Ayanna Pressley is emerging as a potential alternative to Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker as House Democrats are being bombarded by phone calls from constituents begging for new leadership.

Here’s the thing, from what we hear no one is calling in to support keep leadership but thousands of calls are coming in to support generational change! If this is the future you want you’re going to have to take action to make it happen. Phone: 202-224-3121 TTY: 202-225-1904

honestly the best possible news the dc fandom can hope for, tho I don’t know who the buyer would be. Netflix? Amazon? Surely not Disney
Rumors suggest that Skydance is considering building up the DC brand by launching some of its biggest characters in the movies, and then SELL the DC Comics IP to help pay down the company’s $100B post-merger debt

Primary this lying freak
I vehemently support the impeachment of Secretary Hegseth. Hegseth has dragged us into another endless war. He has fired experienced generals who disagree with him and the president. And under his leadership, the military has blatantly discriminated against women, LGBTQ+ service members, and others. Our troops deserve a Secretary of Defense who puts their safety first and honors our Constitution.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Rep. Lou Correa did not vote on the House motion to refer the Pete Hegseth impeachment resolution (H. Res. 1655) to committee. clerk.house.gov/Votes/2026317

this man is a MENACE to feet!
Former NFL HC Rex Ryan was arrested Wednesday morning in Nashville after allegedly running over the feet of two pedestrians with his pickup truck last week. Police say Ryan continued driving before the pedestrians caught up to him at a red light. He allegedly got out, argued with them, and drove away without exchanging information. Ryan faces six misdemeanor charges, including leaving the scene of an accident, failing to provide information or aid, and failing to obey traffic signals.

I don’t wanna fucking hear from ANYONE responsible for this piece of shit criticizing anything else for not “capturing the zeitgeist”
A tasteless business mogul who produces stuff that barely qualifies as functional white noise while you're doing house chores with the TV on thinks he has the rights to say about cultural zeitgeist, what a pathetic and insecure human being you are David Ellison.

In 2028 there WILL be a litmus test, no matter how much the most annoying people bitch about it. standards will be set and the bare minimum will be: M4A $20/hr min wage indexed to inflation Recurring billionaire/wealth tax Repealing Trump/obama/W tax cuts Windfall profits tax
we tested this last year — the establishment democratic message added three points to the dem margin, the bernie-style economic populist message added 12

“Did I say it didn’t capture the zeitgeist?? I’m sorry, I meant to say it didn’t capture the zionistgeist.”
