Did you know Chuck Schumer's daughter is a tech lobbyist? As Chuck tries to keep control of his leadership, his daughter a registered lobbyist who is fighting against Zohran Mamdani's efforts in NYC.
Many people are wondering...
Who is Jessica Schumer?

The American people voted for change. They want a Democratic Party that will stand up to powerful special interests, take on the billionaire class and fight for working families.
That is why I am supporting Senator Chris Van Hollen to lead Senate Democrats.

Here's the new Israeli plan:
1. Make sure Jeffries and Schumer are in place so there's no vote on ending the war funding during the lame duck session (and protect Hegseth).
2. Have Trump and Hegseth start a much bigger war with Iran during the lame duck.
3. After new Congress comes in, have Democratic leaders say it's too late to end the funding in the middle of combat operations.
4. Voila, you voted for huge change and instead you got ... Netanyahu.
5. Have everyone in mainstream media call any American who notices an antisemite.
Good news. If I'm wrong, you now have this very specific prediction that you can use against me to say I don't know what I'm talking about.
But if I'm right and this is what happens, then you'll know this was all pre-scripted. We are not in charge of our own country. #FreeAmerica

Following his special election win in Ohio, Sen.-elect Sherrod Brown (D) is expected to take his seat by Dec. 15.
Brown will replace Sen. Jon Husted (R), whom Brown beat in November. This will narrow the GOP's majority in the Lame Duck session from 53-47 to 52-48. #OHSEN

🚨 🧵 OHIOANS: YOUR COMMUNITY’S ABILITY TO REGULATE DATA CENTERS COULD BE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK.
HB 392 (Right to Compute Act) just cleared House Rules on November 10. There’s virtually no public attention, and a floor vote may be coming before session ends.
Here’s why you should care. 👇ohiohouse.gov/legislation/13…

Hillary Clinton on the Jensen Huang spy scandal:
I will predict to you what will happen when Trump sees Xi Jinping in a few weeks.
He will say to Xi Jinping, like he said to Putin, "Is this true?" And Xi Jinping will say, "Of course it's not, Donald. You know that we wouldn't do that to you."
And then Trump will come out and say, "I asked President Xi if it were true, and he assured me it wasn't."

This new Reuters report is stunning.
A week before the U.S. captured Venezuela's leader, JD Vance reportedly met at a private Montana ski club with John Addison, an oil trader who had given $300,000 to help elect Vance to the Senate in 2022. Vance allegedly asked how fast Venezuela's oil could be sold if America took control of it.
Both men deny the meeting.
Flight records show their planes parked together that day.
Two days after the Venezuela operation, Energy Secretary Chris Wright called Addison and offered his company, Vitol, the job of selling Venezuela's oil. There was no public bidding. Vitol and one rival have since made hundreds of millions of dollars.
Addison and his wife also gave $7 million to help elect Trump, and he now chairs a board advising Secretary Wright.
Congress has a duty to act.
We should bring Secretary Wright, Vitol, and Addison in to testify under oath. We should demand the phone records, emails, and flight logs. We should find out whether anyone got a heads-up about a military operation. And we should require open, competitive bidding before any company profits from our foreign policy.
If nothing was wrong, let’s see the records.

Families described broken equipment, worsening conditions, and a mental health crisis. One spouse said her husband had contemplated suicide FOUR TIMES and was denied help. ms.now/news/navy-iran-war-us…

Throw back to last year when President Barack Obama surprised 79 veterans as they arrived in DC on an Honor Flight. He greeted each with a handshake and a Challenge Coin. Our heroes deserve honor and to be taken care of when they end their service. #DemsFightForVeteransCare

Tonight let's please honor the memory of Medgar Evers, World War II veteran and NAACP field secretary in Mississippi, who was murdered at the age of 37 outside his home in June 1963 and gave his life for civil and voting rights in Mississippi:

Raskin: Well, AOC and I have a $50 gift ban bill, which has been on the back burner for years under the Republicans.
In Congress, we are all governed by a $50 gift ban. And we can’t accept anything much more than a baseball cap. And most people are scared to do that. We just don’t take gifts.
Meantime, at the Supreme Court, they’re collecting hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars in so-called gifts from people who have a tremendous interest in the work of the Supreme Court. They take trips around the world. They take luxury vacations. They get, in Justice Thomas’s case, a $400,000 recreational vehicle, a motor coach.
I think Justice Thomas also picked up private school tuition for a great-nephew. I mean, just outrageous things. Members of Congress would go to jail for any of those things, and they’re just doing it.
So the $50 gift ban applies to Congress. It theoretically applies also to people in the executive branch, and it must apply to people in the judiciary, in the Supreme Court

Mitch McConnell voted 23 times to deny Americans sick leave. Then he took 92 days himself and got paid $45,000 for days he never showed up for. He's still being paid from his wheelchair. Nonverbal and he still gobbling up tax payer dollars. He voted six times against raising the minimum wage.
Take a good look a the Republican party.

Insane that 11 Democrats couldn't even bother to show up for an impeachment vote after the actual voters rejected the Iran War. What is going on?

Maybe it’s just me, but I’ll never forget Hakeem Jeffries having private meetings with treasonous criminal slumlord Jared Kushner and that should disqualify him from leading Democrats let alone becoming Democratic House Speaker. Leadership is about representation and that doesn’t represent me.
Unfit to lead.
I asked Hakeem Jeffries about attendance appearing decisive in the Pete Hegseth vote. (11 House Dems did not vote tonight.)
He told me and reporters: "I haven't had a conversation with anyone on the floor team about what may or may not have happened in terms of the Hegseth resolution, but this is not the end of it. It's just the beginning."
