Hakeem Jeffries is threatening Congressmembers who don't back him for Speaker, but those members don't need him if they have your support.
If you can, donate to every member saying they won't support Hakeem. Give them the support they need to be independent. Link in thread.

If you live in #CA36 and would like a different Democratic candidate in 2028, please consider reaching out to @MarianneCA36 or @Rustin_Congress no time like the present to start working to send AIPAC stooge @tedlieu packing.
Have you all noticed that almost everyone doing public endorsements of @RepJeffries have the same thing in common?
@tedlieu you are a disgrace.

TO EVERY NEW DEMOCRAT ELECTED IN THE HOUSE:
TELL ME SPECIFICALLY WHICH DEMS ARE THREATENING YOU TO FALL IN LINE.
IF THEY MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL, MYSELF AND ALL LEFT-WING MEDIA WILL MAKE THEIR LIVES HELL. REACH OUT.
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.”

Don't forget that Neera Tanden sees Jon Ossoff as one of her top candidates for 2028.
That should tell you everything you need to know on what kind of president Jon Ossoff will be.

It was great meeting Representative-elect Don Leonard. The American people voted for authenticity and truth.
Angelenos voted to ensure we do everything we can to block the bombs and end citizens united.
Paul Seth retweeted
Don Leonard isn't DSA. He's a frontline Dem who flipped a heavily Trump district.
The fact that Hakeem is threatening him, and thus threatening the Dem majority, is a total non-starter for leader.
It's a slap in the face of everyone who worked so hard for this blue wave.

“It will set us back years if we have a vote that fails,” she claimed.
In truth, the issue was that bc Democrats had a trifecta, any failure to pass Medicare for all would fall squarely on Dems and expose them as not supporting a policy with an 88% approval among Dem voters. Now Trump is President so it’s safe.
Paul Seth retweeted
Tasked with undermining the m4a push, she is a leading democratic figure behind the scenes. When her candidates won't commit to medicare for all like mayo Pete, now we know why.
People have been asking the question...
who is LIS SMITH?

Both AOC and Mamdani endorsed Hakeem Jeffries *before* the midterms.
They sold out to the corrupt establishment before the people even had a chance to vote.
In this video I breakdown why and how their function is not to confront capitalism & imperialism, but to rehabilitate it.

Leonard won a Trump district, but if he doesn’t support Hakeem, Hakeem is saying he’s willing to hurt his electoral chances by not letting him get his legislative priorities.
And he doesn’t say it, but they definitely threaten to withhold money in the races too.

.@AOC and @RoKhanna should have used their political capital to give cover to newly elected members to block @hakeemjeffries rather they are complicit. Do not give them a pass. What has AOC accomplished in 8 yrs in office? Whining or excuses is not leadership. #DoneWithAOC

🚨 COULD THIS BE ANY MORE SCANDALOUS FOR THE WHITEHEAD INSTITUTE AND ITS DIRECTOR AND PRESIDENT, RUTH LEHMANN?
The confidential settlement agreement between Kristin Knouse, the Whitehead Institute (@WhiteheadInst), and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI, @hhmi_science) contains an extraordinary provision describing financial compensation to Knouse for:
“Dr. Knouse’s loss of the unique freedom, enjoyment and growth in her professional and scientific development”
The agreement further acknowledges that Knouse “experienced no loss of wages” and that her purported losses concerned “the lost opportunity for professional development while a Whitehead Fellow.”
THE CONTRAST WITH PROFESSOR DAVID M. SABATINI’S ORDEAL COULD HARDLY BE MORE OUTRAGEOUS.
While Knouse received compensation for her purported loss of professional enjoyment, Professor @DMSabatini, one of the most distinguished cell biologists of his generation and a scientist discussed as a potential Nobel Prize contender, suffered devastating personal, professional, and reputational destruction.
On October 16, 2026, a Massachusetts jury found KRISTIN KNOUSE LIABLE FOR DEFAMATION AND TORTIOUS INTERFERENCE involving Sabatini’s professional relationships, awarding him approximately USD 10 MILLION in damages, including interest.
Yet the earlier confidential settlement agreement, fully executed on May 20, 2022, provided financial payments to Knouse and her attorneys, reportedly involving a SEVEN-FIGURE PAYOUT, while expressly naming RUTH LEHMANN (@REMLehmann) in contractual releases and preserving joint-defense arrangements.
A SEVEN-FIGURE REWARD FOR KNOUSE AND CONTRACTUAL LEGAL PROTECTIONS FOR LEHMANN—WHILE SABATINI’S SCIENTIFIC CAREER, PERSONAL LIFE, AND REPUTATION WERE DEVASTATED.
THIS IS UTTERLY SHAMEFUL AND OUTRAGEOUS.
Whitehead’s major funders and donors, including the NIH (@NIH), Gates Foundation (@gatesfoundation), Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (@MooreFound), Valhalla Foundation (@ValhallaFound), and G. Harold and Leila Y. Mathers Charitable Foundation, should demand full transparency regarding the settlement payments, their funding sources, and the institutional decisions behind these arrangements.
HOW MUCH LONGER WILL WHITEHEAD’S FUNDERS, DONORS, AND TRUSTEES PUT UP WITH THIS SCANDALOUS FACADE?

🚨 BOMBSHELL COURT EVIDENCE EXPOSES A SCANDAL OF SECRECY, DECEPTION CONCERNS, AND DOCUMENTED JOINT-DEFENSE COORDINATION INVOLVING KRISTIN KNOUSE, RUTH LEHMANN, THE WHITEHEAD INSTITUTE, AND HHMI IN THE DAVID M. SABATINI ORDEAL.
A confidential financial settlement. Payments to Kristin Knouse and her lawyers. Legal protections extending to Ruth Lehmann. Documented joint-defense coordination. And an explicit provision restricting disclosure of the agreement to David Sabatini.
🔱 The ScienceGuardians™ Legal and Investigative Team has obtained the six-page settlement agreement filed in Massachusetts Superior Court on February 6, 2025.
The document reveals consequential arrangements involving Kristin Knouse, the Whitehead Institute (@WhiteheadInst), the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI, @hhmi_science), and Whitehead Director and President Ruth Lehmann (@REMLehmann).
These are not speculations. The provisions appear in the court-filed agreement itself.
🔴 1. Whitehead and HHMI agreed to pay Kristin Knouse and contribute to her legal defense.
Section 1 establishes that Whitehead and HHMI agreed to jointly fund a settlement payment, including compensation to Knouse and a contribution toward her attorneys' fees and costs in connection with the Sabatini litigation.
The financial amounts are redacted in the court-filed agreement, although we believe the total settlement may have reached SEVEN figures.
How much money did Whitehead and HHMI actually commit to Knouse and her legal defense?
The scientific community deserves full transparency regarding the financial scale of these arrangements and the institutional justification for such payments.
🔴 2. Ruth Lehmann's leadership was expressly covered by the legal releases.
Section 2 establishes broad mutual releases between Knouse, Whitehead, and HHMI.
Whitehead's release expressly includes its directors and senior administration, specifically naming Ruth Lehmann.
These provisions were not limited to an informal understanding between Knouse and her former employer. They created formal contractual protections extending across the participating institutions and their leadership.
🔴 3. Knouse, Whitehead, and Lehmann agreed to continue their joint defense.
Section 4 is particularly revealing.
It expressly provides for continuing cooperation between Knouse and Whitehead, including its senior administration and Ruth Lehmann, concerning matters related to Sabatini's lawsuit.
The agreement further states:
“Whitehead and Dr. Knouse further agree to continue to work pursuant to their common interest and joint defense privilege in the context of the Sabatini Lawsuit.”
Their lawyers were also expected to cooperate and share work where practicable.
The document therefore establishes not only financial arrangements but also an explicit commitment to continued legal cooperation between Knouse and Whitehead's leadership.
🔴 4. The agreement expressly restricted disclosure to David Sabatini.
Section 5 contains one of the document's most consequential provisions:
“This Agreement shall not be provided to Dr. Sabatini unless required by law.”
The same section establishes procedures allowing parties to seek protective orders in response to compulsory disclosure requests.
A financial settlement and continuing joint-defense agreement, expressly restricted from disclosure to the very scientist who was litigating against these parties.
The existence of this restriction demands serious examination of what was disclosed during litigation, when it was disclosed, and whether Sabatini received the information to which he was legally entitled.
🔴 5. Whitehead and HHMI expressly denied liability while agreeing to the payments and releases.
Section 6 characterizes the settlement as a compromise of disputed claims, intended to avoid further expense, and expressly disclaims any admission of liability.
The absence of an admission does not erase the financial payments, mutual releases, continuing joint defense, or disclosure restriction documented in this agreement.
⚠️ Ruth Lehmann and Whitehead's leadership must answer for these arrangements.
This court-filed document raises substantial questions about the financial and legal relationships among the individuals and institutions involved in Professor @DMSabatini's ordeal.

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.
All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

Josh Shapiro volunteered for the IDF.
In college he wrote an op-ed on how righteous the IDF is and how evil Palestinians are.
This term as Governor should be his last role in politics.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro is noncommittal on whether he’d restrict weapons to Israel
“America sells weapons to lots of countries...and should those nations violate the terms of the sales, they would no longer be permitted to purchase those weapons. I think Israel should be treated as other nations are.”

WHAT IS AOC DOING RIGHT NOW!
Abandon a GENOCIDE AS A PURITY TEST?!
WHAT THE FUCK AM I reading HERE?!
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU @AOC ?
AOC TELLS THE LEFT TO ABANDON PURITY TESTS, LIKE GAZA
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez built her political career challenging the Democratic establishment, promising a new era of progressive politics and accountability. But a New York Times profile portrays a politician increasingly embracing party alliances while encouraging the left to move beyond ideological “purity tests,” almost gaslighting her supporters.
Among the scathing rhetoric is how divisions over Isr*el's war in G*za and the g*nocide are portrayed and diminished by AOC. To many of her critics and supporters, it seems that questions about P*lestinian rights and accountability are being dismissed as political obstacles rather than fundamental principles.
AOC's own voting record has fueled those criticisms. In 2021, she voted “present” rather than opposing an additional $1 billion in funding for Isr*el's Iron Dome mis*ile defence system. In 2025, she voted against an amendment that would have eliminated roughly $500 million in Iron Dome funding, arguing that defensive systems should be distinguished from offensive weapons.
The Democratic Socialists of America even withdrew its national endorsement of AOC in 2024, citing disagreements over P*lestine and her failure to meet several conditions, including opposition to all military funding for Isr*el.
Although AOC has since pledged to oppose all future U.S. military aid to Isr*el, including Iron Dome, her evolving positions continue to raise questions about the relationship between progressive movements and the political establishment, especially when progressives like her, Zohran Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed, seem to be moving closer to establishment politicians like Obama.
As both major parties face criticism over corporate influence, foreign policy, and their inability to deliver meaningful economic change, voters are left wondering if this even matters, if anything will fundamentally change. It appears not much has.

The grandmother of Khadoor Sahib MP Bhai Amritpal Singh Khalsa, Mata Charan Kaur (84), passed away this evening due to a brain haemorrhage. She had been unwell for the past few months but remained strong and in high spirits.
Just a few days ago, following court orders, Bhai Amritpal Singh had spoken to her over the phone. Apart from him, her son Harjit Singh (Bhai Amritpal Singh’s uncle) and her grandson Sukhamanjit Singh are also in jail.
The family wishes to perform Mata Ji’s last rites in the presence of her son Harjit Singh, grandson Bhai Amritpal Singh and grandson Sukhamanjit Singh. Their lawyers are preparing to approach the court to seek permission for all three to attend the funeral.
Mata Ji remained deeply worried over Bhai Amritpal Singh’s prolonged detention. Her last wish was to see her grandson once before taking her final breath. Sadly, that wish remained unfulfilled.

AOC: I'm supporting Jeffries for speaker because "public housing is my priority".
So ending genocide, the Iran war, AIPAC influence, billionaires tax and Medicare for All are evidently not her priority.
