Rochelle Fleming Passed Away!

Philadelphia soul queen Rochelle Fleming of First Choice passed away.

Rochelle Fleming, lead singer of the R&B and disco girl group First Choice, has died.

Fleming's manager announced her death in Philadelphia on behalf of her family.

Fleming was a Philadelphia native, and it was there that First Choice formed in 1971. The group’s soul and disco hits included "Armed and Extremely Dangerous," "Smarty Pants," "The Player (Part 1)," "Guilty," "Love Thang" and "Doctor Love." Their breakthrough came in 1973 with "Armed and Extremely Dangerous."

"'Let No Man Put Asunder' became particularly influential, embraced by generations of DJs and producers through remixes, samples and reinterpretations," BMG, the parent group of the band's record label, wrote.

The powerful vocalist continued singing after First Choice broke up in 1980, with solo dance records “Love Itch,” “Danger!” and “Suffer (The Consequences).”
“One of the greatest in R&B, Disco, and House music has left us,” the DJ Lenny Fontana wrote on Facebook. “She is probably one of the most sampled in current dance music as you will hear her voice on so many recordings. A humble person and to us an ICON! Rest in Eternal Peace as we all loved you.”

First Choice.

Christian Hope Baptist Church in Philadelphia also posted a tribute to Fleming, saying that even when Fleming became a renowned artist, she “came home” to sing at the church.

"When Rochelle stepped forward for a solo, the whole sanctuary leaned in. Her voice stirred our spirits, moved us to tears, and lifted us into praise. We looked forward to those moments, and we will carry them with us always."

Don Leonard Spills Some Tea!

I am elected to do what I've campaigned on. You will not break me.

Rep-elect Don Leonard (D-OH) is becoming one of my favorite figures coming out the state. The incoming lawmaker jis telling the public that there is grave concern among the Democratic Party involving the leadership of Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY).

Leonard went to social media to address his thoughts about Jeffries being the House Speaker.

He said that top leadership stated that they could make his life as a lawmaker miserable if the Ohio freshman decides to step out of line.

Leonard who beaten Rep. Mike Carey (R-OH) in a race that resulted from Ohio mid decade redistricting is one of many incoming members concerned that Jeffries will not change the status quo.

Leonard stood on business. He demands that Democrats end the war with Iran. Lower prices with gas and groceries. End Citizens United decision where big money controls politics. He said an end to all aid to Israel.

Jeffries is ignoring these requests.

Leonard stated that senior Democratic members told him to fall in line and vote for Jeffries regardless of whether leadership addresses those key issues. He likened the experience to "stuff you see in the movies," explaining that senior members expected him to simply "wear the team jersey". Separately, Leonard noted in an interview with Joy Reid that a letter he received from Jeffries failed to answer his constituents' questions, cementing his decision to withhold his vote until his demands are met.

The intense pressure campaign from senior House Democrats who vowed to make his life "a living hell" and ensure he loses his seat in 2028 if he refuses to vote for Representative Hakeem Jeffries' speaker bid. Leonard, a progressive who recently flipped an Ohio congressional district, detailed the threats in a social media video published on November 10, 2026.

Pressure is mounting against having him as the Speaker.

Leonard's political views have been categorized as progressive. He supports a "Medicare for all who want it" public health insurance option and universal child care.

Hakeem Jeffries may get the gavel but he will get the headaches. The Black Kevin McCarthy is facing mutiny from the progressives.

Leonard criticized data center development for imposing higher electricity costs and environmental risks on local communities. He described the facilities as "the mascot for predatory capitalism," connecting opposition to their expansion with broader concerns about corporate power and economic insecurity.

In March 2026, Leonard supported ending U.S. weapons exports to Israel and reassessing the Israel–United States relations. He characterized Israel's military operations in Gaza as genocidal and pledged not to accept donations from AIPAC.

Leonard grew up in Alaska. He was raised by a single mother; his family struggled with poverty and homelessness.

He graduated from the University of Massachusetts, Lowell with a bachelor's in political science in 2002 and a master's in regional economic and social development in 2004. 

He spent two years with the Peace Corps in Bolivia from 2004 to 2006. 

Following his volunteer service, Leonard earned master's and doctoral degrees in government from Cornell University in 2011 and 2014 respectively, focusing on Latin American comparative politics and international relations.

Leonard held postdoctoral fellowships at Princeton University from 2013 to 2014 and Tulane University from 2014 to 2016. He joined Ohio State University in 2016 as a professional practice assistant professor of city and regional planning. 

He resigned in January 2026 to campaign for Congress full-time.

Scott Colom: I Can Wait A Few More Days! I Don't Know About Cindy!

I ain't afraid of nothing.

Scott Colom is on the cusp of being the first Black senator of Mississippi. The Democratic candidate feels extremely confident that he will join Sherrod Brown, Juliana Stratton, Troy Jackson, Roy Cooper, Abdul El-Sayed, Chris Pappas, Josh Turek, Annie Andrews, Adam Hamilton, Peggy Flanagan and James Talarico.

Colom is doing his version of trolling. El-Sayed mercilessly trolled Mike Rogers throughout his campaign.

Colom is trolling Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith (R-MS) as she remains missing in action as the election results show she is trailing badly. She headed back to Washington as she appears to be likely packing it up. She still sees optimism despite the count ain't looking in her favor.

We all believed that Hyde Smith was all but certain to win. Looks like the ghosts of Nolan Wells, Kohen Wiley and Emmett Till came out and told Mississippians to come out.

We didn't cover the race in Mississippi. The Democratic Party ignored it and wrote it off.

Colom hasn’t won Mississippi’s U.S. Senate race, but the local prosecutor was welcomed as a historic figure Friday as he strolled through the Farish Street business district where civil rights leaders once organized.

“It’s so wonderful! It’s so wonderful to have Scott Colom as our representative,” said Maati Jone Primm, who owns Marshall’s Music & Bookstore in Jackson.

The state is still tallying ballots that could make Colom the first Black senator from this Deep South state since post-Civil War Reconstruction. The possibility of Colom defeating Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith puts many Black voters somewhere between cautious optimism and outright celebration in a state where nearly 40% of the population is Black but the top representation for generations has been white.

“I’m so glad we are at the point where we are,” said Sorie Tarawally, a 76-year-old attorney who has long known Colom’s father. He called the 43-year-old candidate “the man, our messiah, our savior.”

The contest remains too early for The Associated Press to call, and Colom’s historic bid will hinge on a tedious process playing out in elections offices across Mississippi’s 82 counties. Local officials are receiving and examining absentee and provisional ballots, called affidavit ballots, before deadlines next week. Volunteers and lawyers representing each campaign look on in anticipation of potential litigation.

“We’re going to make sure everything is followed according to the law, and I have confidence in those local officials,” Colom said. “They’re doing their jobs. Got to be patient with them.”

“We’re going to make sure everything is followed according to the law, and I have confidence in those local officials,” Colom said. “They’re doing their jobs. Got to be patient with them.”

Hyde-Smith has not appeared publicly since election night, when she essentially declared victory despite a razor-thin margin with ballots still uncounted.

“We are not backing down,” she posted Friday on social media. “This election is not over. Our team is working across Mississippi to monitor the remaining ballots and protect the integrity of the process. We will see this through to the very end!”

Maryland Sen. Angela Alsobrooks, the first Democratic senator to campaign with Colom this year, said in an interview that she came away from her trip knowing that voters “would be really energized by a candidate like Scott.” But Alsobrooks, who is her state’s first Black senator, added that “the takeaway I had when I visited Mississippi was that there was a belief problem” after years of defeats.

“They now know that their vote matters,” she said.

Should have said something about Nolan Wells and Kohen Wiley. Cindy Hyde Smith decided to play games and now she about to find out.

The precise number of outstanding ballots is not known

The pool of outstanding ballots includes absentee ballots, which can be counted in Mississippi as long as they are received by Tuesday, five business days after the election. The rest are affidavit ballots, which are cast at the polls when there’s a glitch: Perhaps the person’s name was not on the rolls or the person did not have proper identification, or a poll worker determined the person’s identification did not precisely match the name on the list.

Citizens who had identification issues have until Tuesday to address those matters in person at their local elections office. For people who were not on a precinct’s rolls, local officials can verify a person’s status using previous records and information on the affidavit that person filed when filling out a ballot. That person typically has no responsibility to come to a local elections office; ballot status can be found on the Mississippi secretary of state’s office website.

Counties have until Friday to certify complete results to the secretary of state.

Mississippi law has no provision for a statewide recount. Campaigns could seek court orders, usually county by county, seeking to examine ballots.

The seismic effect would be in Mississippi, not Washington

Democrats already have won control of the Senate, so the result in Mississippi would not change the balance of power in Washington.

But it would mark a seismic shift in the state, where white conservatives have dominated the Statehouse and congressional delegation for nearly 150 years. Through Jim Crow segregation and the Civil Rights era, those leaders were nearly all Democrats. After the Civil Rights Movement, they overwhelmingly shifted to Republicans. For Black Mississippians, the result was the same: a lack of proportional representation at the top levels of state government and in Washington.

Colom was initially viewed as a long shot, and it wasn’t until late October that Senate Democrats’ top campaign group started spending on advertising to support him. But the midterms revealed a broad backlash against redistricting efforts in the South that were aimed at boosting Republicans and, by extension, reducing Black representation.

Primm’s bookstore, where Colom visited on Friday, opened in the 1930s and is recognized as the oldest Black-owned bookstore in the U.S.

She said the Farish Street neighborhood still represents Black Mississippians’ “first migration, from the plantation to the city.” Having Colom there as a potential senator “makes us so proud, and it gives us someone to aspire to. Our youth need to see the possibilities for their lives, and we do when we see our next senator from Mississippi.”

As he campaigned, Colom emphasized that he can represent all Mississippians, and he said President Donald Trump’s policies — the war with Iran and tariffs, especially — cut across all demographic lines. He even celebrated the extended ballot counting process as a benefit to the state’s 2.95 million residents.

“I’m so glad the national press is getting to see the beauty of our state,” he said.

But Colom and his Black supporters also have never ignored the significance of his candidacy as a Black man.

“We are motivated by the gross inequalities we have seen in society and how only one side seems to benefit,” said Tarawally, who was born in Sierra Leone and arrived in the Deep South to attend law school at the University of Mississippi. “So, we want a person who speaks to our benefit.”

Colom ended his campaign with an ad set at the Jackson home of Medgar Evers, the civil rights leader who was gunned down in 1963 in his own driveway, dying in front of his wife and children.

“It’s a powerful reminder of the sacrifice to gain the ballot, and nobody sacrificed more than Medgar Evers and his family,” Colom said Friday.

“What was important to me about that ad is we didn’t ask people to vote for me. We just talked about the sacrifice, talked about the story,” he continued. “We just wanted that to be the closing ad because I wanted that to be the last message that the people of Mississippi heard.”

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is facing massive backlash for not investing in Louisiana, Alabama, Montana, Mississippi and Florida. The races were winnable but Schumer kept his focus on pro Israel Dems in states that he knew he could pick wins.

Angie Nixon openly called Schumer ineffective.

Stratton, Andrews, El-Sayed, Hamilton, Jackson, Turek, Flanagan and Talarico vow to not support Schumer as the majority leader. It is likely that Mary Peltola and Scott Colom will not back his bid too.

It Was So Bad, Laura Loomer And Katie Miller Quit Podcasting!

It's over for Katie Miller. Her podcast ends.

Yearly wrap up.

Candace Owens and Tucker Carlson are vindicated. They warned Republicans that they weren't pleased with the policies. It was basically don't listen to them, they're traitors.

Conflict to why the MAGA brand collapsed.

So now the far right needs to go after the influencers who helped the Democrats sweep into power.

The far right are pissed at Hasan Piker, Jennifer Welch and Angie "Pumps" Sullivan. They were key to helping many Democrats win their elections. Now the far right and centrist agitators are working on canceling them. They are pissed at Dave Chappelle over his 2025 performance where he said he was glad that white nationalist is gone.

People, please do not resort to the levels of those who profit off the anger. The anger of right wing Americans in the wake of white nationalist Charlie Kirk's death has sparked a censorship and harassment campaign.

They are scared that the bullet won't miss. They want you to risk your freedom or your life to protect their right to gas you up to commit unspeakable crimes against one another.

In the right wing ecosphere, Laura Loomer and Katie Miller are officially taking a break (a permanent break).

Nicki Minaj has officially became a medicore celebrity. The former rapper, actress, media personality and far right agitator became a laughing stock after she put all of her investment into seeing President Donald J. Trump and Republicans win the Midterms.

An allegation of "pay for say" got Laura Loomer taking a break.

Terrence K. Williams, Scott Presler and gay MAGA agitators are salking over the massive losses in followers.

Loomer announced she is stepping back from and suspending her twice-weekly podcast, Loomer Unleashed. She said she is engaged and want to focus on her family life. The Washington Post revealed that she was being paid lots of money to promote pro MAGA and Pro Israeli propaganda. 

Loomer went on a massive, 119-post social media spree on X following the Democratic "blue wave" victories. Her doom-laden posts—proclaiming that "America is over" and that there was "no future" or rebuilding—drew heavy criticism for stoking unnecessary panic and defeatism within her own movement.

She faced strong pushback from tracking organizations and political commentators after she urged Americans to stockpile food and firearms, predicting "massive political violence and terrorism" because of the election outcomes. Experts noted that her rhetoric dehumanized voters and contributed to an increased risk of real-world tension.

Miller announced she is shutting down/halting her eponymous podcast, The Katie Miller Podcast (saying she will air two previously taped episodes).

The decision follows major administration and family changes, including her husband, Stephen Miller, being named White House chief of staff, alongside shifting political dynamics following the midterm results.

Miller blamed Republican losses on "MAGA moms" being "too busy raising their children" to make it to the polls. Critics heavily called her out for blaming busy mothers for the defeat.

Miller was also criticized for pushing unverified voting machine conspiracy theories on social media right after the election, with critics accusing her of "grasping at straws" to explain away the losses.

Folks who took nosedives include Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Lindy Li, Cam Higby and James O'Keefe.

All the noise they been promoting was not focused on the real issues. They were hoping causing noise would turnout voters. The paychecks were the main reasons for thr Republican wipeout.

That Redistricting Fiasco!

Despite the redistricting, Ohio Republicans got swept out. Texas Republicans got beaten out. North Carolina Republicans got swept out. Republicans in California are a critically endangered species.

Texas, Tennessee, California, North Carolina, Missouri, Virginia, Florida, Ohio, Louisiana, Alabama and Utah did mid decade redistricting. 

The Republicans were hoping to secure a permanent majority with the redrawing of U.S. Congressional Districts in states President Donald J. Trump won in 2024. The president aggressively pushed for Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Missouri, Tennessee, Alabama, Ohio and Louisiana to redraw their maps.

The maps were approved by Republican governors Greg Abbott of Texas, Mike DeWine of Ohio, Bill Lee of Tennessee, Ron DeSantis of Florida, Kay Ivey of Louisiana, Spencer Cox of Utah, Jeff Landry of Louisiana and Mike Kehoe of Missouri. North Carolina Republicans overrode Democratic governor Josh Stein's veto. The Virginia Republicans took the voter approved mandate to change the maps to state court and it was thrown out. California governor Gavin Newsom signed the new congressional map approved despite the Trump Administration threats to sue. The federal court threw out Utah and Missouri's congressional maps. 

The Midterm results showed the Republican plan literally blew up in their faces.

We are still awaiting the results of 19 House races and 2 Senate races. But the outlook for the Republicans in some districts are bad. So according to Wikipedia, the results were a generational swing.

2028 senators who may face competitive races.

Ron Johnson, Wisconsin.
Raphael Warnock, Georgia.
Ashley Moody, Florida.
Sherrod Brown, Ohio.
Maggie Hassan, New Hampshire.
Lisa Murkowski, Alaska.

2028 potential senate challenges

Tim Scott, South Carolina.
Ted Budd, North Carolina.
Eric Schmitt, Missouri.
Catherine Cortez Masto, Nevada.

Looking forward, the Democrats may have scored one of their biggest wins in history, but the ground game is undetermined. While some are calling for impeaching Trump a third time and show hearings for members of his administration, most Americans want generational change. 

The Democrats better the focus on the economy, ending the war with Iran, a complete dismantling of AI data centers, an end to military/financial aid to Israel, an end to military aid to Ukraine, a push for tax hikes on billionaires, a permanent safety net for all in need, voter protection, immigration reform, an end to gun violence and an end to corruption.

The president is literally blocked from picking Supreme Court nominees (for now). He cannot pick a nominee that is too conservative. He has to compromise on most of his agenda. He cannot rely on John Fetterman to be a tie breaker or Vice President JD Vance.

The Mean Girls Are Out!

Elise Stefanik, Lauren Boebert and Virginia Foxx were mean ass women in Congress. Now they become mean ass civilians.

I did not expect this but damn it is really big.

Yearly wrap up.

We are seeing the end of Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Elise Stefanik, Cindy Hyde Smith, Nancy Mace, Jasmine Crockett and Haley Stevens. It appears that Virginia Foxx is on her way out too.

So far we await the results of the House races in North Carolina. 

The senate races in Mississippi and Alaska are too close to call.

Marjorie Taylor Greene choose to leave office than face a bitter primary and a potential loss to a Democrat. But her presence in Congress was by far the most polarizing. She often express rhetoric unbecoming of her title. She has since denounced her past comments but stopped shy of her controversial public stances. Her public retreat from MAGA and her calls for civility has become the biggest 180° in politics.

The former Georgia lawmaker left in January. Her replacement Clay Fuller won his special election and won the general to serve a full term. She and her husband Brian Glenn officially left the Republican Party and became independents.

Greene has become a prominent voice on the far right speaking against President Donald J. Trump and Vice President JD Vance. The former Georgia lawmaker sees satisfaction in the Republican wipeout. She warned the president that if he did not focus on the promises that got him a second term, he would pay a price. 

Nancy Mace already starting her post career as a far right podcaster. The cocaine and alcohol hasn't stopped the middle aged soon to be former lawmaker from being an agitator.

Oh he did.

Jasmine Crockett is also looking to become a vocal opponent on the center left. Before her defeat, the Texas lawmaker was known for her controversial viral clips. She would often take aim at Greene, Boebert, Mace and other Republicans when they insult her. Her biggest failure was reaching out to the lower Texas constituents. As her former rival becomes senate-elect, Crockett has voiced that she will continue to push for more Black candidates in the South to become lawmakers. She is also hinting a podcast. James Talarico easily beaten Ken Paxton and it led to Gina Hinojosa defeating the once untouchable governor Greg Abbott.

Nancy Mace frequently spoke about finding common ground on environmental conservation, infrastructure, and local issues crucial to her Lowcountry constituents.

Mace has already started her podcast and got tattoos to start a midlife crisis rant about how she is a victim. She already abandoned all the center right positions to become a Dana Loesch clone. Mace is morphed from a rational human to a flaming pile of garbage in three worthless terms as a U.S. representative. Her district flipped to the Democrats. A woman named Nancy Lacore won the seat Mace is vacating.

Following the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, Mace sharply criticized Trump’s rhetoric, stating that his legacy had been "wiped out" and that the Republican Party needed a new direction, cementing her image as a centrist willing to challenge her own party.

Jasmine Crockett has decided SDGAF. The outgoing lawmaker gave controversial pop star Chris Brown recognition. Brown has a continuing pattern of vile behavior towards women.

Lacore, a retired three-star Navy admiral and former Chief of the Navy Reserve. Her extensive military pedigree resonated strongly with voters in a traditionally red, defense-oriented district.

Lacore had been removed from her Pentagon post by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. On the campaign trail, she effectively capitalized on this by framing Hegseth as the face of an increasingly unpopular war in Iran, a message that heavily impacted the district's electorate.

Stevens made the controversial decision to renounced her support for Abdul El-Sayed and back Mike Rogers. The decision was ill-timed and cost her big time. Not only did this backfire, it led to a massive win for El-Sayed. She ended up losing not only the Democratic Party support but ended up being blacklisted. Her mean spirited decision to back a candidate who goes against everything she stood for led to her being politically homeless.

Virginia Foxx faced little to no competitive opposition and routinely coasted with over 60% of the vote, Chuck Hubbard built long-term momentum. As a native of Wilkes County with deep roots in local journalism, Hubbard spent two consecutive election cycles building a strong network in the district. His platform focused heavily on popular local kitchen-table issues—such as public education funding, expanding affordable healthcare, and supporting working-class families—which contrasted sharply with Foxx's hardline national focus.

Foxx's close contest was part of a larger, unexpected "GOP wipeout" across North Carolina. Multiple Republican incumbents who previously won their seats by double digits—including Reps. Richard Hudson, Addison McDowell, Brad Knott, and Tim Moore—were cleanly ousted by Democratic challengers, eroding the typical conservative firewall downballot.

During a House Republican news conference announcing Mike Johnson's nomination for Speaker, ABC News reporter Rachel Scott asked Johnson about his past efforts regarding the 2020 presidential election.

Before Johnson could answer, several GOP lawmakers booed and laughed. Rep. Foxx stood near the microphone and audibly yelled, "Shut up!" to the reporter.

Being mean does not pay off. Haley Stevens is blacklisted from the Democrats and Republicans are skeptical of her if she joins them in future endeavors.

Opponents argued that her confrontational style—such as telling reporters to "get away from the damned elevator" in the Capitol or trying to bar the media from the Speaker's Lobby—unnecessarily deflected from policy issues and fostered a hostile environment. Additionally, during her recent campaign, her electoral vulnerability deepened after a separate controversy resurfaced involving a blunt, dismissive letter she wrote to a 10-year-old student.

Hubbard, aggressively used the controversy over the letter to the 10-year-old boy as a prime example of why he argued Virginia Foxx was out of touch and unnecessarily divisive.

The incident began in May 2026 when a 10-year-old fourth-grader, Christian Mango, sent Foxx a persuasive school essay advocating for federal electric vehicle tax rebates. Foxx responded with a highly critical letter that went viral after the boy's mother posted it on social media. In the response, Foxx not only disagreed with the policy but went after the boy's educators, writing:

The OG of mean girls renounced her past.

"Incidentally, please ask your teacher to explain propaganda to you. While I will never be able to know, my guess is that your teachers will not give you a good educational experience and help you learn to think, as they are too interested in indoctrinating you. How sad."

Hubbard used the event to argue that a representative's job is to encourage civic engagement in youth, not attack them or their teachers. He framed Foxx's response as punch-down bullying, telling voters it was an example of how partisan hostility had overtaken basic constituent respect.

Old News!

Gov-elect Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee is likely to pick Tim Burchett to replace her. But who are the other choices?

Gov-elect Marsha Blackburn is leaving the U.S. Senate in January. She will take office at the ripe old age of 74. The first woman and oldest governor to serve Tennessee will be a chaos agent.

She will continue MAGA despite the voters soundly rejecting it.

She is the "I've fallen and can't get up" type of politician.

I am not sexist or ageist. But I am done with tone policing. Tennessee, enjoy your hard owned chaos. When she sells out the state to Israel and special interest, expect your lives to be even more hectic come 2028.

Her replacement will be chosen by her.

Who are likely in the running?

Tim Burchett: The Republican U.S. House member closely aligned to President Donald J. Trump and staunch supporter of Blackburn's gubernatorial bid.

Pete Hegseth: The controversial Defense Secretary who convinced Trump to go to war with Iran. He has embarrassed the U.S. military with his anti-woke, be a solider campaign.

Glenn Jacobs: The former Knox County mayor who is known as the WWE legend Kane. Name recognition and a modest conservative credentials.

Just in case you believe I am biased. I will address Gov-elect Amy Klobuchar as well.

Both women will resign and their replacements will serve the reminder of their terms with Peggy Flanagan (will be senior senator already) and Bill Hagerty (will become senior senator).

Blackburn plans to strategically delay her Senate resignation until the last possible moment before she is sworn in as governor on January 16, 2027. This guarantees that she will hold the sole authority to appoint her successor, rather than outgoing Governor Bill Lee. The chosen interim senator will hold the seat until a special election is organized in November 2028.

Friends to the end. Gov-elect Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota is likely to pick her replacement. Is Kelly Morrison that replacement?

Klobuchar, 64 will also leave in January. Her replacement is going to be less controversial, sort of.

Ilhan Omar: The progressive lawmaker would be a good choice but it could energize Republicans. They will weaponize her faith, her politicial stances and race.

Former senator Al Franken: He served a senator for two terms before resigning under pressure for a baseless allegation. He is an actor, comedian, podcaster and commentator ruled out an appointment.

Angie Craig: While a low possibility, it would anger progressives. Her centrist stances and pro Israel stances will be a huge liability. She lost to Flanagan in the primaries,

Kelly Morrison: A pragmatic centrist who just won a second term in Minnesota's competitive 3rd Congressional District. Smart but will face progressive backlash if she supports Israel or leans on Chuck Schumer style of politics.

Oh yes, that asshole Gov-elect Tommy Tuberville, 72 will be leaving the senate. His win was huge so it makes Sen-elect Barry Moore (R-AL) comfortable to taking on the spot that racist asshole held

The American voters sent a message to Congress and Trump, they want direct focus on domestic issues like the economy. They do not care about distractions or vanity projects.

They want the federal government to do more to help Americans struggling. So thus, if Marsha Blackburn, Byron Donalds, Tommy Tuberville, Amy Klobuchar or any transitioning lawmaker thinks they're going to get a pass, they better think again.

Ivan Diaz Is Considering Taking On Hillary Scholten!

Time for a change.

Sen-elect Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) is becoming a formidable force in changing the status quo. He is the first Muslim and Egyptian American to be elected as senator of Michigan.

His win broke barriers.

His win also opened up wounds that came to fruition.

Rep. Haley Stevens (I-MI) is officially a washed up politician. Her last minute attempt to sabotage El-Sayed in the final days has now isolated her from the Democratic Party.

Now Democrats are laser focused on primarying distractions. Rep. Hillary Scholten (D-MI) is now one of the 50 members the progressives have in their sights.

The West Michigan lawmaker has become a major distraction. Her refusal to endorse El-Sayed and quiet whisper to Michigan voters to abstain from voting has now made her a target to defeat.

Ivan Diaz has seen it all and has had enough. 

In a video posted on X, he had addressed the generational issues that has affect the working class. He said that the incoming state Democratic leader, the mayor of Grand Rapids and Scholten (all withheld endorsements of El-Sayed) show the lack of fortitude.

He is talking with family and local activists. He is seriously considering a serious primary challenge against Scholten.

Diaz, aligned with the progressive wing of the party, argues that recent Democratic electoral victories are not enough. He has criticized Scholten's moderate policy stances, specifically pointing to her legislative record regarding Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), law enforcement, and her campaign funding from organizations like AIPAC.

Diaz did not limit his primary targets to Scholten. He also urged progressives to launch primary challenges against other local Michigan figures, including Grand Rapids Mayor David LaGrand and State Representative John Fitzgerald.

Scholten was first elected to Congress in 2022 and just successfully secured her reelection. Scholten has previously defended her centrist approach, stating that Midwest voters are generally hesitant to embrace far-left platforms like abolishing ICE or defunding law enforcement.

Diaz, who previously served on the Kent County Board of Commissioners, also ran unsuccessfully in the August Democratic primary for Michigan’s 29th Senate District.

Enjoy this victory. Hillary Scholten, this could be your last term as Michigan U.S. House member. The progressives are vowing to oust her in 2028.

He outlined three priorities for progressive organizing: increasing union membership, establishing community mutual aid networks and challenging elected officials at the local, state and federal levels.

Diaz also criticized elected officials who supported newly elected U.S. Sen. Abdul El-Sayed but have not embraced the progressive policies he advocated during his campaign.

“Yes, many people, many electeds [sic], endorsed people like our new Sen. Abdul-Sayed, but many of those same people — electeds [sic] specifically who supported Abdul — are not fighting for the policies that Abdul ran on,” Diaz said.

Other Democrats have also questioned the party’s leadership following Tuesday’s elections.

El-Sayed, who defeated Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race, has also declined to commit to supporting Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, for another term.

“I do believe we need new leadership and I think people are hungry for it,” El-Sayed told The Associated Press.

Hasan Piker has vowed to oust Scholten, Josh Gottheimer, Wesley Bell, Jared Moskowitz, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, George Latimore, Ritchie Torres, John Fetterman, Chuck Schumer, Jacky Rosen and Kirsten Gillibrand.

Piker, the most streamed progressive agitator is feeling like a winner. He is now planning on pushing for future candidates to oust pro Israel status quo Democrats.
