Former House candidate in #CA07. My campaign account’s content was so compelling, it was stolen by a man in Nigeria.

In other words:
Brittany Pettersen missed the vote to impeach Pete Hegseth because she was at a fundraiser for an AIPAC pass through organization and lied about it.
Pettersen was at an Elect Democratic Women event and initially said she was “denied the ability to vote.” 9news.com/article/news/local…

Pettersen confirms she was late to the Hegseth vote because she was traveling back to the Capitol from the EDW event
More to come on that event soon

Colorado’s Rep. Pettersen, who wrote that she was “denied the ability to attend” the Hegseth impeachment vote, was attending a party for an AIPAC-linked group at the time of the vote ⤵️
UPDATE: Rep Brittany Pettersen (D-CO) missed the Hegseth impeachment vote and her team dodged our questions about her whereabouts.
@MarshallZNews learned Pettersen was at a party for an AIPAC-linked Super PAC.

Primary Pettersen! #CO07

⚡️NEW: Ahead of the House Democratic caucus meeting to nominate a party leader Wednesday, one member granted anonymity to speak tells me …
“I am hearing that many progressives will be writing Ayanna’s name in.”
Corporate donors paid for this person to rep CA06 over an enigmatic progressive who could run circles around him.
Pan very badly lost his race for mayor so he cheated to win here. Accepting corporate donations in the year 2026 A.D. is a choice. He’s an MD who won’t support M4A.
A busy week at New Member Orientation!
I’m looking forward to the work ahead and making sure our office is ready to serve you.

AOC says Haley Stevens has been with the Republicans ever since she’s come back and calls her endorsement of Mike Rogers the epitome of transactional politics:
“This isn’t just about endorsing a Republican, this is about voting against every woman’s right to choose. This is about keeping the minimum wage at less than a living level. To use the Black church as the venue for doing that, it’s beyond disrespect”

I’m sorry, where there is smoke there’s fire. Angie Nixon , Scott Colom, and others— the dnc under Chuck Schumer’s leadership— did not even care to invest in them; they did all the heavy lifting. That’s a PROBLEM!
THE PEOPLE OF MISSISSIPPI RECRUITED ME. YOU THINK I WAS LISTENING TO SOMEBODY THAT LIVES IN BROOKLYN?
Symone Sanders asks, "So what exactly was Schumer's part in making this happen?"
Scott Colom: He did initially understand that our party has to look South for future leadership. I think that it's not accurate to say he recruited me, though.
The people of Mississippi recruited me.

Hasan Piker on Marc Lamont Hill's show, explained how Angie Nixon was immediately pressured not to campaign or seek help with her campaign from people like Hasan. Angie deserved so much better:
"They shut off her opportunities. The night of primary victory, she went on CBS the next morning. One of the first questions Gayle King asked Angie was, 'Why have you campaigned with Hasan Piker?'
I had never campaigned with Angie Nixon, but Bari Weiss's CBS already had graphics and photos of me up and ready to go when the question came down. Angie was shocked. She was like, 'I've never actually campaigned with Hasan Piker.'
Astead Herndon of Vox, formally at the NYT, wrote about this. They basically bullied her from being able to reach out to people like myself because they made it clear that they would punish her for it. They would nationalize her campaign and constantly barrage her with attack ads."
By the way, big ballot drop tomorrow no later than 4:15pm PT. Vang could still win especially since its Sacramento ballots and it’s now Vang went from third place to first in the primary. Matsui’s logo says “Sacramento’s Voice” but Sacramento is just not that into her anymore.
Matsui was on track to lose to @MaiForUs until she "loaned" herself $7M to her campaign and AIPAC parachuted in with $1M. We could have won this seat. I hope Mai will run again and this time our entire movement needs to have her back. We ran ads for Mai but wanted to do more.

So refreshing to hear real answers and not a bunch of bullshit
Don Leonard gives an exclusive update to Joy Reid on his conversation today with Hakeem Jeffries:
“I said, ‘Look, the Democratic Establishment is in the toilet, they think we’re as bought out by the corporate interests as the Republicans, and to be totally candid, Leader Jeffries, your name is synonymous with the Democratic Establishment…”

Randomly still think about how in 1978 Bernie's local paper went around asking people their New Year’s resolutions and everyone’s was like ‘I want to quit smoking’ and ‘finish high school,’ and Bernie was 'I want to make people wake up to the radical change needed in society.'
It’s so easy to get under this curmudgeon’s skin lol
He’s still big mad DOCTOR Flo Cofer (whom he’s tried to sue a few times) beat his precious corporate-bought moderate, Eric Guerra.
Here in Sacramento, @MaiForUs refuses to concede her loss to @DorisMatsui and issues a blistering statement instead. Zero class.

Hasan Piker realized that @Ojeda4America is living the life he would live if he became a congressman:
"Richard Ojeda is having the time of his life. It's so funny. He's in Congress like how WE'D be in Congress. He's just hanging out, filming himself having a grand old time.
Everything he's been doing in Congress so far in Freshman Orientation is how I perceive myself operating; just taking photos with my favorite Congresspersons and running around."

Hasan Piker was so proud to see Representative-elect Adam Hamawy push back when asked about Iran and whether or not Iran is an adversary. Hasan said that he never thought he would see the day where elected representatives would go on CNN and tell the truth:
"I love this part. That's that sweet chin music. That's that Hasanabi music. Never in my life did I ever think that I would see the day where a Representative-elect would go on CNN and say truthful things like this." 🥹🤍
I’m probably not running for office again but I am not opposed to running a Super PAC that targets the worst in Sacramento politics. It needs its own. It’s the most toxic political atmosphere I’ve ever known and I lived in Seattle lol.

Your client, Doris Matsui, had to loan herself $7 million to mail and air smears and with $1 million from AIPAC.
You were also the spokesperson for Tom Steyer so we see you’re just an expensive puppet with no actual morals, Kevin. Steyer wasn’t a normie Dem lmao.
