YESTERDAY'S EMAIL:
Huff Post asks, "What the hell is Nancy Pelosi doing?"
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez urged Nancy Pelosi to fight hard to undo the
pain at Trump's child detainment camps. Pelosi ignored her, tried to
negotiate with Trump, and CAVED disastrously. She passed (with mostly
Republican votes) a bill giving billions to ICE and the camps with no
strings attached. Then...
In the NY Times this weekend, Pelosi lashed out at AOC and our friends,
Congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Rashida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley. She called
them "irrelevant" and said they're just "four people" -- nothing more.
[ [link removed] ]Not okay! AOC and The Squad have changed the entire national debate.
Unlike Pelosi, they are [ [link removed] ]leading the national conversation -- in a bold
and inspiring direction. Unlike Pelosi, they're [ [link removed] ]standing up to Trump.

The New York Times reported, "Speaker Nancy Pelosi capitulated to
Republicans and Democratic moderates and dropped her insistence on
stronger protections for migrant children in overcrowded border shelters."
Pelosi belittled AOC and the squad as being just 4 votes against "our
bill." In fact, the Times reports, "The final vote, 305 to 102, included
far more Republicans in favor, 176, than Democrats, 129. It left House
liberals furious...Trump called Pelosi from overseas to congratulate her
on passing the border bill." Our bill?
Pelosi further belittled [ [link removed] ]AOC's leadership. "These people have their
public whatever and their Twitter world.”
AOC fired back: “That public ‘whatever’ is called public sentiment. And
wielding the power to shift it is how we actually achieve meaningful
change in this country.” She called the decision “an abdication of power
we should refuse to accept.”
[ [link removed] ]Damn straight! AOC is not "irrelevant." She's a true leader. She's
fighting for us. Will you show solidarity with AOC? Get this sticker for
free with a donation of $3 or more to our work to elect more AOC's to
Congress.
We supported Pelosi as Speaker in January against more conservative
alternatives. But let's not pretend she is a master strategist.
“We didn’t even bother to negotiate,” AOC told CNN, calling the bill
“completely irresponsible to the American people and to those kids on the
border.”
Get this. AFTER passing Trump's bill, Pelosi wrote Trump a "strongly
worded letter" saying she "would deeply appreciate your soonest
consideration" of concessions.
As The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur [ [link removed] ]points out, "You already voted! That's
not how you do negotiations! You don't say, 'Ok, look. Here's the ransom
money. Now, can you please give me the person you took? Oh, you didn't
bring them! Dammit, I should have asked earlier."
Nancy Pelosi is also royally messing up on impeachment. It's been proven
that many voters still have no idea what crimes Trump actually committed,
and impeachment would bring that to light. But instead, thanks in part to
Pelosi's lack of leadership, Trump just achieved his highest approval
ratings ever in ABC's poll.
Huff Post was right to ask: "[ [link removed] ]What the hell is Nancy Pelosi doing?" Not
leading. But AOC and progressives in Congress are. [ [link removed] ]Please show
solidarity. Get this free sticker with a donation of at least $3 to elect

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told PCCC members, "The majority of Americans are with us on the policies. Americans support Medicare for All, expanding Social Security benefits, gun reform, debt-free college, and a $15 minimum wage. Bold progressive values are popular EVERYWHERE. Together, we have the people. Together, with your help, we’ll have the votes." Chip in $3 here: [link removed]
