John, take your pick

John, Who better represents what you want to see in Congress? Them: Or the Squad: It’s the Squad for us, too. We don’t want a bipartisan group of lawmakers watering down legislation and blocking real action on climate, child care, racial justice, and more. That’s why we’re fighting not j…

Dem leadership trying to stop more Squad members

Establishment Democrats will do anything to maintain the status quo. John, it seems like House Democrats are fighting harder to protect themselves from the basic tenets of democracy than they are to defeating Republicans. It’s ridiculous. The 4th most powerful Democrat in the House, Hakeem Je…
