The “gang of eight” are the eight members of Congress allowed to be a part of national security decisions. It’s outrageous that it exists.
One thing Dems should do is eliminate the ‘gang of eight.’ And make sure every member office gets at least one staffer with a clearance.

🇦🇪 🇺🇸 The new Democratic Senate majority will soon decide whether to block US arms sales to the UAE, which sponsors the Rapid Support Forces' genocide and mass rape campaign in Sudan. The Emiratis have now hired someone close to the leader of that majority. Jennifer Poersch, a lobbyist at Guidepost Strategies, registered Oct. 30 to represent the UAE Embassy for $100,000 a month, Sludge found in federal foreign-agent filings. Her husband, J.B. Poersch, runs Senate Majority PAC, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer's super PAC, which spent more than $400 million on this year's Senate races.
Senate Majority PAC and its affiliates spent in eight Senate races during the 2026 elections:
➤ Ohio, $150 million: Sherrod Brown
➤ Iowa, $67 million: Josh Turek
➤ Michigan, $67 million: Abdul El-Sayed
➤ Maine, $65 million: Troy Jackson
➤ Texas, $40 million: James Talarico
➤ Kansas, $14 million: Adam Hamilton
➤ Mississippi, $2.2 million: Scott Colom
➤ South Carolina, $750,000: Annie Andrews
Of these eight candidates, El-Sayed is the only who has publicly condemned the UAE’s role in Sudan. In an October interview with ABC News, he criticized U.S. dealings with the UAE, noting it was perpetrating genocide in Sudan.

As an immediate first step to Medicare for All, the new Democratic Congress must lower the Medicare eligibility age to 55, cover all kids & expand Medicare for dental, vision & hearing.
All of this can be passed with 51 votes in the Senate through reconciliation. Let’s do it.

Ro Khanna says 989 billionaires hold 22% of the economy and a 5% wealth tax would raise $4 trillion:
"You could fully fund free childcare. You could fully fund free college... And the billionaires would have the same wealth as they had on Labor Day."
#MajorityDems are ops fr ⤵️
Back in April, we mapped out the billionaires and tech oligarchs behind the @MajorityDems network, which is now set to host Hakeem Jeffries, Elissa Slotkin, Pete Buttigieg, etc, to “write the next chapter” of the Democratic Party, behind closed doors. Blue wave! 🌊
The midterm vote results are a clear DEMAND for #NewDemLeadership !!!
