Guess that AIPAC check cleared for Jeffries. I hope Mamdani wins his election in a landslide. Jeffries would still not endorse him even after.

Just once, I want to see a reporter followup with a tough question: Reporter: If Mamdani wins the NYC mayoral election, doesn't that mean it's the will of the people? Trump: Well, we'll see. Reporter: What does that mean, sir? Would you go against the will of the people?

Worth repeating! Democrats would need to dominate the House and Senate in the next election cycle and hope any corporate democrats wouldn't attempt to vote down a Universal Healthcare bill. They should be primaried anyway with candidates that run on the bill. ๐ค

It should be on every news network, but mainstream media will be silent, complacent, and let the drama unfold with minimal coverage, because they'll lose access to Trump if anything negative is publicized, which isn't good for ratings. They don't want to be sued either.

@fetterman.senate.gov Maybe you should, I don't know ...resign? If you're unable to perform those "senatorial duties, because it's a โperformativeโ waste of time." due to your mental state, that's fair. But if you're using it as scapegoat to go against your constituents that put you there,...

As much as I prefer a real progressive to replace Fetterman, I can see Connor Lamb being Shapiro's pick. He's a veteran, which will appeal to western pa voters and held a congressional seat. Fetterman has to step aside, before any of this happens.
