Ro Khanna keeps stepping up as the House Minority Leader we deserve.
NEW: Censure talk against Randy Fine is real. Progressives are talking about forcing a vote, sources tell me.
"I have raised with CPC leadership that Fine must be censured," Rep. Ro Khanna told @axios.com. "Many of my colleagues feel similarly."

One of my best memories from working in Congress was having the opportunity to meet Rev. Jesse Jackson. His vision of a Rainbow Coalition - true working class solidarity across race - is the foundation on which the modern progressive movement was built
Rest in peace.

Fine has a long history of disgusting, horrible comments. Long past time for him to be censured, stripped of committees, and removed from office.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social has rightfully condemned this comment, but why not push for censure?

As I was saying before a fish rudely interrupted:
The military industrial complex has done nothing to improve the lives of working- and middle-class Mainers. Quite the opposite.

There is not a single thing that can make me have any faith in Hakeem. Our only focus is removing him from office. That’s it. That where I’m at with it.

Rep. Jeffries speaks eloquently when discussing policy and addressing the press, but he stammers & distracts when asked direct questions about Abolish ICE and cutting ties with AIPAC.

Ella was born in Littleton, NC and graduated valedictorian from Shaw University in Raleigh, NC. But what makes her a giant isn’t a title. It’s what she built.

Claiming a diet can “cure” schizophrenia is not bold thinking, it’s dangerous misinformation. Experts are clear: there is no evidence supporting that claim.
Promoting unproven treatments for serious mental illness puts lives at risk. That’s not health policy. That’s recklessness.
