“That agenda is not my agenda.” Bernie-backed progressive William Lawrence, who won Tuesday’s Democratic primary for Michigan’s 7th Congressional District, distanced himself from parts of the DSA platform, including “nationalizing all major industries,” and what CBS described as “nations without borders.” He said he wants to stop sending money to Israel to commit war crimes in Palestine, and instead invest that money in places like the mid-Michigan district he hopes to represent in Congress. 🎥 William Lawrence.

"This is the man [Hakeem Jeffries] that Democrats want to hand the speaker's gavel to. Even Democrats who should actually be using their leverage not to like Brad Lander. AOC has also similarly said she will back Jeffries as speaker. Just giving it to him.

Hakeem Jeffries responds to wave of primary challenges, saying "I look forward to standing behind every single Democratic incumbent, from the most Progressive to the most centrist."

BREAKING: Hakeem Jeffries Was Just Asked About Claims That Homeless People Were Bribed To Vote In California. The reporter cited allegations that people on Skid Row were offered cash, drugs, and other incentives to vote Democrat. Jeffries' response? He said he was unfamiliar with the reports and suggested they may be part of a conspiracy theory. Then he pointed to something notable. Even Speaker Mike Johnson, Jeffries argued, has not produced evidence of widespread election fraud in California. Now comes a challenge: Where's the evidence?

Hakeem Jeffries failed to answer a question about recent reports claiming that he personally accepted money from Jeffrey Epstein and hosted him for a private dinner. The claim stems from a 2013 email released this week by Republican members of the House Oversight Committee. The email, sent by a Democratic-aligned consulting firm working for Jeffries’ congressional campaign, invited Epstein to a Brooklyn fundraiser dinner event on October 23, 2013. Instead, Jeffries simply deflected and blamed Republicans for stalling the release of the Epstein files—the same files Democrats sat on during Biden’s four years in office.
