Jon Stewart: "Remove that system of seniority from Democratic politics, it is a bullshit system... They're already like 'Chuck Schumer deserves a lot of credit for putting together this--' Chuck Schumer fought tooth-and-nail against half of these fucking people."

NBC poll Oct 28-30 Approve: Chuck Schumer 13% Hakeem Jeffries 23% Disapprove: Chuck Schumer 53% Hakeem Jeffries 56% We haven't suffered years of hardship and dread from fascist gangsters to finally put them down, only to have our leaders play nice with them. We need fighters!

Just a reminder that our publicly funded broadcaster celebrated the very actions of Russell Brand that have now resulted in him to going to prison for rape & sexual assault

Jon Stewart on Chuck Schumer: “Someone has to meet this moment. You have an opportunity to actually govern. One of the first things you need to do is remove that system of seniority from Democratic politics. It’s a bullshit system and it needs to go. Chuck Schumer fought tooth and nail against half of these fucking people. He does not understand the urgency of the moment and what the future demands”

In case anyone is wondering what kind of Senator James Talarico will be, here’s him challenging the author of the Ten Commandments bill in the Texas house. He’s been fighting extremism and hypocrisy for a long time

Rape & sexual assault was part of this man’s act for years yet he was empowered & celebrated. What does that say about the entertainment industry

In an NBC News poll last week, Hakeem Jeffries had an approval rating of 18%, and Chuck Schumer's was 13%. It's wild seeing them both act like they have mandates to lead the party going forward.

NEW poll: A supermajority of Jewish Americans believe Israeli & AIPAC actions increase antisemitism. 80% say Israel’s actions in Gaza & the West Bank increase antisemitism in the US. 66% say AIPAC’s campaign spending against candidates critical of Israel increases antisemitism.

AIPAC congratulates the hundreds of pro-Israel Democrats and Republicans who won their elections last night. More than 234 candidates supported by AIPAC members have already won, with many additional races still too close to call. We congratulate Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries on the resounding victories for their caucuses. AIPAC members are determined to expand their political activism in the cycles ahead. Our community will increase its support for Democrats and Republicans who recognize that a strong partnership with Israel helps keep both countries secure, advances peace and stability, promotes democratic values, and grows our economy through trade and innovation.
