    Johnson called a snap vote.

    He made sure all the GOP stuck around, then when the time was right he called the vote and these Dems could not get back in time.

    Furthermore, there are many reports of a traffic jam caused by a police escorted bus that literally trapped Dems in traffic.

    Shady shit went down.

    I’m not a pelosi fan, but you all should know what really kept these 11 from voting.

      Pelosi isn’t running again. She’s got nothing to lose. She’s fully cashing in on that AIPAC check, even tho she won’t be alive to spend it all, given her age.

      And THIS is why we need to show up to Dem primaries in force. I sincerely hope the respective voting populations for these reps remember this next time their primaries come around.

        We also need more progressives going AOC about primaries, out there campaigning on foot to oust the incumbent
