Fellow USians! Want to make the Blue Wave stick? The incoming Congress will soon vote on new leadership — call your reps NOW to demand they REJECT Hakeem Jeffries as House Speaker and Chuck Schumer as Senate Majority Leader. These two have been feckless and fail to meet the urgency of the moment — the Blue Wave happened IN SPITE OF them. Demand better options (Warren, AOC, etc) who will actually fight for justice and accountability. Find your reps here: https://www.commoncause.org/find-your-representative/

@bluejay I'd like to see Jon Osoff in leadership. @mastodonmigration

@AlliFlowers @bluejay For sure. The question there is whether he runs for President (despite campaign promises). If he does, it would not be responsible for him to accept the leadership. Same goes for Chris Murphy, and Mark Kelly. Van Hollen is not the most dynamic, but is a solid progressive, and seems to be a good administrator. He is very well liked, so he might be a popular choice. Also mentioned is Elizabeth Warren, but she may think she is too old, or want to focus on financial corruption.

@mastodonmigration @AlliFlowers @bluejay

Van Hollen is my choice because, despite me not agreeing with all of his politics, he has demonstrated in a material way that he's willing to do the right thing. Going down to El Salvador to secure the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was hugely important indicator of what kind of leader he'd be, he didn't have to do that.

Ossof honestly kind of gives me Newsom vibes. Fine to be the senator from Georgia but not senate leader or presidential.
