As Washington gears up for a weekend of inaugural galas and balls marking President Trump’s return to the White House — his haters are having a pity party.
Newly unemployed House “Squad” members Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush will be headlining their own inaugural celebration, sponsored by the far-left nonprofit, CodePink.

Jamaal Bowman will headline a loser’s ball sponsored by CodePink CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty ImagesBowman and Bush — who were both ousted in primaries last year by moderate Democrats — will be joined by a murderer’s row of far-left propagandists including Angela Davis, DEI scholar Ibram X. Kendi, and Mehdi Hasan, a Qatari state-media asset and a known plagiarist who has in the past openly supported radical Islam. Rep. Summer Lee, a newer Squad member from Pennsylvania, will also be there.
The “Peace Ball: Voice of Justice and Liberation” is scheduled for Saturday night at the Mead Center for American Theater in Washington D.C. Tickets are $375 a person.
The event promises “live music, inspiring speeches and captivating performances” along with food and an open bar.
Codepink, a nonprofit catering to the progressive cat-lady wing of the Democratic party, is most famous for ambushing members of Congress and peppering them with far-left demands. The group has taken a particularly vocal stance in support of Hamas — and even went to a synagogue to harass Jewish CNN journalist Dana Bash in November.
Another former Rep. Cori Bush will also be a big name at this year’s losers ball. APThe nonprofit receives significant support from groups close to the Chinese Communist Party and now regularly promotes China’s agenda, a New York Times investigation found last year.
“As American Jews face an unprecedented surge in antisemitism, it is alarming and deplorable to see groups like CodePink celebrating those who justify terror against Israel. The so-called ‘2025 Peace Ball’ platform includes voices that justify Hamas’ atrocities, demonize the Jewish state, and embolden extremists,” said Lizzy Savetsky, a former Real Housewives of New York star and among those in contention to serve as Trump’s Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism.
