Hey we’re on wi’ the Dem House because of PELOSI. So why listen to ANY of the so-called “centrists”, righties, sh@t-stirring Bern-adettes?

–Dems please play yer best hand and ignore the noise.
You are so wrong on this and you need to listen to your constituents who are calling your office in support of Nancy Pelosi. I'm a constituent and I have supported you since your first primary, but you will lose my support if you push this.
I don't give a damn if they put a Black woman up against Nancy Pelosi, my support will not budge for Nancy Pelosi especially when the woman they're trying to nominate dismiss the lgbt community. Either you match Nancy Pelosi record or come better, if not please shut the fuck up.
When @NancyPelosi stood in her high heels for 8 hrs speaking up for Dreamers, she spoke for us. Her commitment to the most vulnerable is more than a talking point-it’s heartfelt and deeply rooted in our faith. She believes in diversity and practices inclusion.

Your enthusiasm or lack thereof is irrelevant.
NOBODY TERRIFIES TRUMP LIKE NANCY PELOSI.
He attacked her almost daily for two years. Notice how many insults he's leveled at her SINCE the election?
Katie Hobbs winning AZ secretary of state race would be huge for voting rights. She supports automatic registration & expanded early voting while her GOP opponent opposes Spanish-language ballots & wants to overturn National Voter Registration Act https://t.co/wbA7eFDR9w
This is huge. Nancy Pelosi has committed to put Progressive Caucus members—including newly elected progressive champs—on the most powerful committees in the House. Proud @MoveOn is working with @USProgressives and @TeamPelosi to empower a new wave of leaders fighting for change. pic.twitter.com/iAPxVsgbRP
Somewhere I thought I saw one of those running bottom of teevee screen banners that Kushner is now championing the “criminal justice reform bill”. Damn if I didn’t fall out of my chair laughing. Mazeltov dude on trying to make yours (& fam) Big House incarceration a tad liveable. 😂 Crime riddled fam as “champions” of criminal justice reform! 👀😂😂😏😂😂😂
I'll tell *you* something, @eScarry: ▪@Ocasio2018 isn't a "girl," she's a congresswoman. ▪@Ocasio2018 is dressed appropriately for that job. ▪No one needs you to police the wardrobes of congresswomen. You have no idea where she got her clothes nor is it any of your business. pic.twitter.com/EBoqWlySIZ
Maybe he’s unfamilar with how congresswomen dress. Sounds like we need to elect a couple hundred more congresswomen, so it’ll stop feeling so unfamiliar.
Not a fan of AOC personally but that kind of tacky comment is ridiculous. She’s a professional woman dressed professionally. Waiting for his brilliant comments on congressmen’s suit selections.
So good! Thank you for finding out for us. I was thinking about her again just now, when I read your post:) She should know she has been missed and thought about
🙂 Except for the actual fact that I have to go and clear the driveway since it’s been snowing all day, I’m fine. I’m trying to encourage myself that it’s the first snowfall that requires shoveling but so far that’s not working.
Sending blessings to you and all your girls as Christmas crawls closer and closer.
Thank you VC. And I’d love some of that snow right now as it might put out these fires and get rid of the endless smoke we have had for the past week. I so want to go for a walk outside or open a window for some frssh air. But then I realize I have a home and so many people don’t anymore. I guess we should be grateful for what we have. Christmas blessing to you as well.
I remember Lin-Manuel Miranda performing his early pre- full Hamilton work at the White House. The Obamas knew he was creating something special. They brought the precursor of the stage production to the White House and we were all introduced to this amazing man and artist. He is a bright light in our world. Amazing how their paths crossed. Wow..full circle!
Thanks a lot for sharing the full interview, Meta. Much appreciated. (Normally I can’t access full videos of comedy – except sometimes when I’m in the TOD village.) Maybe it’s that I don’t know how to do it when I get the ‘Not available in your country’, or whatever mesage. This definitely added some chuckles to my day; now I have some little incentive to go shovel the snow from my driveway.

It appears that something relevant may be happening within the next 10 days………
Mueller/Manafort attorneys confirm talks since guilty plea & ask judge for 10-day extension – deadline is Friday – to file joint status report which “will allow them to provide the court with a report that will be of greater assistance in the court’s management of this matter.” pic.twitter.com/mbsBBoxeo7
Just a few short months ago Paul Manafort was strolling into court in his thousand dollar Hugo Boss suits and his wing tip Bruno Magli’s. And now he’s strolling into court wearing white rubber shower slippers and a avocado green jumper.
We want: -a woman to lead the Democrats into 2020. -someone with experience taking on the GOP. -someone who’s not intimidated by anyone in government. -someone who really gets under Trump’s skin. -someone like… @NancyPelosi Let’s come together and take them apart. #RideTheWave
Being effective and having longevity should mean something, I don’t think there’s a more effective leader than Nancy Pelosi. So how can a bunch of conserva-dems think that they can somehow convince the Democratic caucus that Pelosi is somehow unfit to lead? This so-called contest should be a no-brainer, and any Dem that goes out and actively campaigns against Pelosi should be told to go take a hike.
OMG, every day it is just crazy garbage from these cretins.
Electric power companies are unified in their objection to the Trump administration's efforts to rollback a big Obama-era rule on toxic emissions of mercury. They've already spent billions to comply. They also believe its being done for one big Trump donor https://t.co/N6O6BObLON
Thanksgiving is a time for family and reflection, and it is also a time for feast. But how can you enjoy that feast if you’re worried that the next knock on your door will be a man or woman standing there with a subpoena for you? And how can you really enjoy yourself if you know that there’s a subpoena with your name on it, that’s a lot of pressure.
When we as Democrats took back the house in the midterms, we didn’t do anything spectacular or special. We just told the truth to the voters about the Republicans. And that is what made President Obama different about the way he governed, he told you the truth.
Hello! I am coming to you this morning US District Court in DC where we soon expect a ruling in the case of CNN reporter Jim Acosta attempting to have his White House credentials reinstated. The White House has argued it has the right to rescind Acosta’s press pass.
the press does not have a constitutional right to come on the WH Grounds….(now that is deep)…but …because the WH allows some press to come to the briefings they must allow all to come to the briefings….what happens if the WH disbanns the briefings…..interesting
This, clearly, is going well for CNN so far. Judge Kelly says the White House’s later written arguments for banning Acosta were belated and “hardly sufficient to satisfy due process."
#BREAKING Judge sides with @CNN, says White House was wrong to revoke Jim @Acosta's press pass. The ruling was an initial victory for CNN in its lawsuit against President Trump and several top aides.
A good administration uses press briefings as a way to get their ideas out, to send up trial-balloons, and to gauge what the public is thinking on any given subject. But a bad administration uses press briefings as a way to go to war on any entity that does not fully carry that administration’s water.
We polled Indivisible members and 91% said they wanted @NancyPelosi or someone more progressive as speaker. This revolt is coming from her right. If they succeed it guarantees a more conservative Speaker, an unacceptable outcome for the overwhelming majority of Indivisible groups https://t.co/mYQ4K3HS63

“On his fifth day in office, Trump baselessly alleged widespread voter fraud. He did the same thing this past week. In his third month in office, Trump falsely claimed that the United States has a $500 billion trade deficit with China. He has said the same thing more than 80 times since…
Trump wasn’t the president who got the Veterans Choice health-care program passed (Barack Obama signed it into law in 2014 ), that U.S. Steel is not building six, seven, eight or nine new plants (it has recently invested in two existing plants) and that foreign governments don’t force their unsavory citizens into the lottery for U.S. green cards (would-be immigrants enter of their own free will)…
Trump regularly makes 20 to 30 false claims in his rally speeches. But if you watched a network news segment, read an Associated Press article or glanced at the front page of the newspaper in the city that hosted him, you’d typically have no idea that he was so wholly inaccurate…
Trump is getting worse and worse. In 2017, he averaged three false claims per day. In 2018, it is about nine per day. In the month leading up to the midterms: a staggering 26 per day. By my count, he’s now at 3,749 false claims since his inauguration. Meanwhile, the press continues to blast out the lies unnoted.”

“just received a call from Sinclair broadcasting asking me for comment on a claim that the incident being reported about was actually with a man. Completely bogus and false. If anyone thinks the right does not see me as a threat to Trump, they are living under a rock.”
Avenatti is a lawyer who fought tooth and nail for women + for our jailed children and their parents and that gets my respect and space/time.
FACT that is not nothing = Avenatti won the legal right TO DEPOSE TRUMP.
