  Why not have a Majority Leader debate? Here is a thought. How about Schumer and Van Hollen agree to a public televised debate to discuss the issues, their respective agendas, plans and priorities? Just because it has never been done before, doesn't make it a bad idea. Why not inject some democracy into the Democratic Party?

  Opinion: Sunday thought: Our Work Has Just Begun | Robert Reich It’s also why we must support Democratic leaders who reject the old politics of big money — leaders such as Senator Chris Van Hollen. Chuck Schumer has done a good job but he’s been there too long, he’s of an older generation, and he’s too close to Wall Street and corporate Democrats. Van Hollen has the right values and will steer Senate Democrats in a progressive direction. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-our-wo...

  If you do a search for news on "Van Hollen" you will be bombarded by articles on the futility of his bid for Majority Leader. You'll even learn John Fetterman is so incensed, he will leave the Democratic Party if Van Hollen is elected leader by his colleagues. But you can also watch this video, where Chris Van Hollen sidesteps the billionaire media gatekeepers and spells out his agenda for fighting for the priorities of #WeThePeople. Please share the video widely. https://mastod...

  BREAKING VIDEO: Chris Van Hollen for Senate Majority Leader I've been listening. On election day, the American people, they spoke loudly and clearly. They voted against a war they never asked for, against rising costs and rampant corruption, against a White House that traffics in cruelty and impunity, and against a politics that is too timid to stand up. https://youtu.be/4vPwIi9OPWs 1/

  Smells like panic, Chuck. OK, the Hill has a doozie of a story out this morning that Schumer is so certain that he has the votes that he wants to to change the caucus rules and move up the election for Majority Leader.🤔 The article lists for Schumer a whole host of Senators who have not declared yet provided by a "Schumer ally", but clarifies that the list did not come from Schumer or his office.🤦‍♂️ Van Hollen allies: “This is a classic ‘tell versus show’ situation..." https://t...

  OK, gotta pop on one more time. Already the billionaire media is all about how Schumer is the big favorite versus Van Hollen with more Senators in his camp. THIS IS NOT TRUE. Very few Senators have publicly endorsed Schumer and more are opposed, as shown in the whip count below. The billionaire media is terrified of Van Hollen's candidacy because he is coming after them, and they will pull every information warfare psy op trick to defeat him. Be wary. https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigr...

  RE: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/117605696912849100 Chuck Schumer is trying to run out the clock and skulk into the majority leader job without spelling out his priorities and plans for how he will govern. Sen. Chris Van Hollen is saying, hold up, whoever is going to be our leader must first have that conversation now, before the vote. And if Schumer won't do it, he will.

  So, Democrats won a wave election by running on economic populism, vanquishing the oligarchs, and we can rest easy now, right? Wrong. The billionaire oligarchs have just switched parties. They have taken off their MAGA hats and are now tight with the "moderate" Democrats. Folks, this victory is at risk. The fight is now inside the Democratic Party.

  Opinion: Chuck it, Schumer! | Steve Schmidt The Democratic leader in the United States Senate is even less popular than the president whose politics the country has so decisively rejected... just 24% of registered voters approved of Chuck Schumer’s performance as Senate Democratic leader, while 54% disapproved.

  Folks, don't give up on who will be the next Senate Majority Leader. We did not come this far to hand power back over to these billionaire corporate backed politicians. Chuck Schumer is not the inevitable next leader. He has a serious challenge from progressive Chris Van Hollen. This is the seminal issue right now. Either we win this fight, and move forward aggressively to effect the changes voters demanded or we continue business as usual with the billionaires still running the show.

  Just to state really clearly what is going here. The New York Times is leading an information warfare operation to mislead the public that Chuck Schumer has the votes, and is the inevitable next Majority Leader. This is not the case. Schumer has significant and growing opposition both from new and incumbent Senators. We have see the New York Times use this disinformation tactic many times before. Do not be misled. https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/117536299911092203

  When the New York Times has three prominent articles everyday about how Chuck Schumer is the inevitable next Majority Leader, the one thing you know for sure is that Chuck Schumer is NOT the inevitable next Majority Leader.

• View post

  No More Secrets! One thing to about all these article that report that Schumer has enough Democratic Senator votes to be elected Majority Leader is that none of them actually mention which Senators actually are supporting him. On the other hand there are many articles about who is not supporting Schumer that list those who are publicly rejecting his leadership. Where is all this support? Let's name names. This can not happen in the dark. Senators now need to go on the record.
