In honor of May the 4th here’s page one of my Padme Amidala resurrection story
While everyone’s talking about #RevengeOfTheSith here’s my spec script - what if Padme Amidala survived?

Support Speaker Ayanna Pressley! I put the petitions, phone numbers, tracker, script, & links including fundraising to support her & reps who support her in 1 place!

So to recap:
•84% of Dems support Medicare for All—Schumer & Jeffries oppose
•73% of Dems want to abolish ICE—Schumer & Jeffries support ICE
•72% of Dems want to end or decrease aid to Israel—Schumer & Jeffries support more aid
It shocks the conscience to elect two leaders so deeply out of touch with the Party—especially when we have two amazing leaders in Van Hollen and Pressley who are so qualified and aligned with the Party.

According to his voting record @ChrisVanHollen is the 7th most progressive Senator.
The new darling of the Democratic left is … Chris Van Hollen? politi.co/4esQJN9

DSA elected leaders should take the fight directly to Trump, organizing protests, using their offices and resources to support and protect victims of ICE, and fighting to advance strikes for an arms embargo!

The great thing about the House is that you don't have to wait 6 years to get rid of them.
Like Rep. Stansbury, I was stuck behind the same police escort blocking the Capitol when Republicans closed the vote. I would have voted no and believe strongly that Pete Hegseth should be impeached.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
415 members voted on the motion. Reporting indicates the police-escorted bus incident occurred 3.9 miles from the Capitol with no blockage preventing access to the building. The schedule was known since November 9.

fwiw Van Hollen went to CECOT and visited Kilmar Abrego Garcia and brought him home at a time when people like Matt Yglesias and others were telling Democrats not to engage Trump on immigration issues.

Ask yourself: Why would top establishment Democrats threaten to make someone's "life a living hell" if they don't immediately support Jeffries? It's because they understand that Jeffries is the key to maintaining the status quo. They grasp the importance of keeping him in power.
I don't think there is any other conclusion you can reach after seeing this: nitter.gq/ryangrim/status/212015…
Jeffries will personally ensure Dems pass nothing significant that threatens Wall Street or Israel and that the entire focus is on taming Trump's worst excesses.

Axios: Incoming House Dems prove unusually willing to defy leaders
House Democrats’ incoming freshman class is barely a week old and already threatening to defy party leaders in ways most of their incumbent colleagues wouldn’t dare
Rep.-elect Don Leonard (D-OH): “My class is huge not because of the Democratic Party and its brand but despite it. Many of us are outsiders who didn’t come up through the machine, don’t buy into the conventions.”

A leader who can’t get their caucus to show up for work is not a leader capable of being an effective Speaker of the House.
@AyannaPressley would be a phenomenal choice. She campaigned in the South (incl. in Florida for Angie) and represents where the Democratic Party should be.
