F.S. Barton-Coleman 🇺🇦 🌻 🐸

.@RepMarcyKaptur (D-OH) says she "supports Hakeem Jeffries 100 percent" for House Speaker. On Hegseth impeachment vote, she says, "we will send a message to the administration and to the secretary in particular, what he has been doing is un-American."

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.”

PUNCHBOWL NEWS: Chris Van Hollen open to running against Chuck Schumer for Senate Majority Leader 8% odds that Van Hollen becomes Senate Majority Leader

Not leadership. @RepJeffries @SenSchumer

@Lawrence hosting his own rehab tour for @SenSchumer starts off with a one-sided litany of Schumer’s victories while completely ignoring the reality of Schumer’s antediluvian, narrow minded politics and the AIPAC blood money that is the oxygen that fuels Schumer’s (and @RepJeffries) world. These two money-grubbing crooks have got to go! O’Donnell’s entire argument is that the recent senatorial election results would not have been possible without Schumer. Actually, the reverse is true — they happened in spite of Schumer and we would have an even larger Senate majority today, had it not been for Schumer’s willful malfeasance in his despicable efforts to shut out the Progressive wing of the Democratic Party. 1. The Angie Nixon affair — Florida, 2026 Nixon publicly complained that national Democrats were reluctant to invest in her campaign. Recounting her conversation with Schumer, she said his response amounted to “we will see.” A November 5 Salon analysis argues that the national party effectively conceded Florida rather than committing substantial resources to her campaign! 2. 2025–2026 — Intervening in Democratic primaries Schumer recruited Janet Mills in Maine and Haley Stevens in Michigan, while progressive challengers Graham Platner and Abdul El-Sayed challenged the establishment's preferred direction. In October 2025, Schumer publicly described Mills as the best candidate to defeat Susan Collins. Critics interpreted his involvement as an attempt to preserve the existing Senate leadership coalition; allies characterized it as candidate recruitment intended to win seats. Ask yourself — who ended up winning in Michigan and Maine? Not the Schumer candidates! 🙄🤡 3. June 2024 — Inviting Benjamin Netanyahu to Congress After delivering a major speech criticizing Netanyahu's leadership and calling for Israeli elections, Schumer nevertheless joined congressional leaders in inviting Netanyahu to address Congress. Schumer argued that the U.S.–Israel relationship transcended individual leaders. Critics saw a contradiction between his condemnation of Netanyahu's conduct and playing for the prestige of a congressional address as theater while Schumer quietly cashes the AIPAC checks. 4. Medicare for All Defending an insurance-based system perpetuates corporate influence and administrative inefficiency. Schumer has prioritized protecting and expanding ACA coverage rather than embracing a single-payer transition and just like Hakeem Jeffries, Schumer is a survives on money from the Health Insurance Industry while millions go without healthcare to this day! 5. AIPAC and political financing Contributions from pro-Israel donors and allied political networks raise questions about the influence of organized money on policy. Schumer and Jeffries have taken millions from AIPAC and were congratulated by the lobby after the 2026 midterms. Schumer and Jeffries are unyielding supporters of Israel despite A UN independent commission of inquiry concluded in September 2025 that Israel committed genocide in Gaza 6. With only a wink and a nod from Schumer and Jeffries, the US has provided billions in military aid, rapid weapons shipments, and diplomatic cover to Israel during the war. AIPAC is accused by critics of underwriting "the very infrastructure of impunity" that has allowed the Gaza war to persist, while Schumer dismisses genocide allegations as "unhelpful to Israel's image" while simultaneously receiving AIPAC contributions and praise. I can’t watch this shyte anymore!

Schumer: What I do as the leader is I'm the orchestra leader. I am not the best bassoonist. I highlight that person. I am not the great virtuoso singer. I highlight that person.

Tomorrow, November 3rd, is your last chance to vote to get money out of politics, put money in pockets, and pass Medicare for All. Get out there (and bring a friend!)
