i honestly have never seen a political leader so thoroughly destroy their credibility so quickly and, on the other side, it is abundantly clear that if anyone can claim a genuine leadership of large parts of the democratic party, it is AOC.

Folks is it good when your own party's leadership in the House is dropping "listen to the women" and MLK quotes on you while swing state members of your caucus are talking about new leadership

They are saying it out loud

Minnesota House DFL @mnhousedfl.bsky.social · Jan 22

The top priority of the Minnesota House GOP? Kicking out a duly elected DFL state representative who won on election night, in a recount, and in court.

Minnesotans value free and fair elections. The people of Shakopee deserve to decide who represents them, not 67 Republicans in St. Paul.

Tweet from DrewRoachMN saying "unseating @BradTabke should be the top priority. We can't afford to settle for elections with missing ballots.. not on my watch!"
