I’m pissed

MTG is putting a target on Jamaal’s back. Let’s show him we’ve got him. John, I’m pissed. Marjorie Taylor Greene is going full-on racist. Calling Jamaal Bowman “aggressive” and saying she feels “threatened” by him. It’s not just disappointing. It’s dangerous. She put a target on his back fo…

A question for John.

I have a question for you, John. If you knew that chipping in your first $3 donation *right now* could help us recruit the next AOC, Summer Lee, Cori Bush, or Jamaal Bowman, would you donate? Since 2018, Justice Democrats has been dedicated to recruiting progressive leaders to take on the es…
