John, this is outrageous:
Nancy Pelosi just endorsed Joe Kennedy who is primarying Senator Ed Markey — who co-wrote the Green New Deal with Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
This move reeks of hypocrisy: the party is setting one standard for progressives and one entirely different standard for the establishment. AOC just summed it up perfectly:
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez ![]() |
|||
![]() |

We’re investing in building the infrastructure for more progressive like AOC, Jamaal Bowman, and Cori Bush to the entrenched political establishment. Will you help us take on Nancy Pelosi and the DCCC’s blacklist policy by chipping in $3 right now?
Last year, as progressives launched campaigns to build on the momentum of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ayanna Pressley's victories against incumbents, Nancy Pelosi stood by the DCCC’s policy to blacklist any organization that worked on primary challenges against incumbent Democrats.
Speaker Pelosi is using her power to undermine the next generation of Democratic voters and the progressive champions we choose to believe in.
Thank you for helping us fight back,
Justice Democrats
