Levi Sanders, son of Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vermont, and Democratic congressional candidate in New Hampshire's first Congressional District, says that if he's elected to the House, he'll support new Democratic leadership. Democrats are divided on whether House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi should keep her seat as leader of the lower chamber or if she should make way for more progressive leadership. The question itself has become an issue for candidates as states gear up for the November midterm elections, when Democrats have a chance to retake the House. "I think Nancy has done a really good job, but at this point in time we need new, fresh leadership and I would support Barbara Lee," Sanders said on CBSN's "Red and Blue." Lee, a California Democrat, announced her run for Chair of the Democratic Caucus in July. Sanders takes a page out of his father's political playbook with his ardent support of a "Medicare-for-All" single-payer healthcare system and tuition-free … [Read more...] about Levi Sanders says if he’s elected, Nancy Pelosi won’t be his choice to lead House Dems

Republican playbook for 2018: Tie Democrats to Nancy Pelosi, Medicare for All, and abolishing ICE
Eliza Collins USA TODAY Published 10:00 p.m. UTC Aug 23, 2018 CHESTERFIELD, Va. – Republican Rep. Dave Brat is running against a far-left Democrat, an all-out liberal. Trouble is, that caricature bears little resemblance to the candidate actually opposing him. Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA officer, is campaigning as a centrist willing to work across the aisle. In her campaign office in Henrico County, Spanberger rattled off to USA TODAY the list of Democratic policies she's against: a government-run single-payer health care system, an open border, and shuttering U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. And, if Democrats take back the House, Spanberger doesn’t think House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi should become speaker again. But to hear Brat tell it, if Spanberger is elected to replace him in Virginia's heavily Republican 7th Congressional District, she’ll vote with the far-left of her party – even if on the … [Read more...] about Republican playbook for 2018: Tie Democrats to Nancy Pelosi, Medicare for All, and abolishing ICE
Nancy Pelosi Questions Trump Attacks on DoJ in Wake of Cohen Plea
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi is questioning the motivations behind President Donald Trump’s “relentless assaults” on the Department of Justice and the special counsel investigation after his former attorney Michael Cohen implicated him in a crime. “Michael Cohen’s admission to making illegal campaign contributions ‘at the direction of the candidate’ to influence the 2016 election, implicates President Trump in a federal crime and raises serious questions regarding the motive behind his continued attacks against the Department of Justice,” the California Democrat said. Pelosi’s comments came in a Dear Colleague letter covering a wide array of topics related to the current political climate. In commenting on Cohen’s guilty plea, Pelosi urged House Democrats to join Judiciary Committee ranking member Jerrold Nadler in calling on the panel’s Chairman Robert W. Goodlatte to immediately … [Read more...] about Nancy Pelosi Questions Trump Attacks on DoJ in Wake of Cohen Plea
Nancy Pelosi Makes Fun Of GOP Leader For Not Understanding How Twitter Works
POLITICS 08/20/2018 01:42 pm ET Rep. Kevin McCarthy thought Twitter was censoring his feed. (Narrator: They weren't.) By Andy McDonald Hey, this newfangled technology can be hard. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi hilariously called out her Republican counterpart, House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy, on Friday after he criticized Twitter for censoring conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham. The thing is, Twitter wasn’t doing anything of the kind. The tweet in question wasn’t showing because McCarthy’s own settings forbade “potentially sensitive content” from automatically appearing on his feed. “Rather than adjust his Twitter settings, Kevin McCarthy chooses to perpetuate an outrageous conspiracy theory,” Pelosi tweeted of her fellow Californian. Rather than adjust his Twitter settings, Kevin McCarthy chooses to perpetuate an outrageous conspiracy theory. Shows he sadly doesn't know how to use the platform. That's … [Read more...] about Nancy Pelosi Makes Fun Of GOP Leader For Not Understanding How Twitter Works
