Jeffries: These extremists want to take healthcare away from the American people, and they know their constituents aren’t here for it, which is why Republicans have been on the run during the last two weeks..

If you've been listening they're asking everyone to #PressureTheGOP. They need at least 4 votes to block the GOP budget bill. This is the mathematical reality. As a party in the minority, in order to get anything done in Congress, they have to work with the GOP.
You realize if the GOP budget passes, Medicaid will be slashed. Hospitals will close, elderly in assisted living will lose funding, school lunches will be affected...
Will you let people lose access to life-saving care just to not work with the GOP?
All of that is going to be affected regardless of whether or not the Democrats cooperate with the GOP or not. They gain absolutely nothing working with outright authoritarians.
I would have figured people would’ve picked up on that considering it’s only been happening for about a decade now
Enough talk more action. He should be calling for the censure of Bondi, the removal of Musk, the impeachment of 🍊. He should be on the floor everyday calling out these things. This bland billboard and same speech is getting old. We need new leadership.
Republican representatives must be starting to get the message that at the midterm elections they are facing a wipeout by ignoring the requirements of the voters in kowtowing to Trump. As they have no principles, it’s a matter of who they fear more, Trump or the people!
I wish they would stop with the signs and tap dancing around what the repubs are doing. Tell the story like it is.,offer what they would do differently.
Get him out of there. We should have the majority but he fucked up by not telling Biden to get out of the way sooner. His lack of fight is a disgrace. He should be grinding the house to a halt and tell every dem in committee to do the same. Stop with the performative shit and fight.
EVERY MEMBER SHOULD BRING SIMILAR ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT EACH WEEK UNTIL MIDTERMS!!!
Each new submission; ADD THAT CURRENT WEEKS EVIDENCE!
Remind ALL VOTERS, that as soon as they have enough people who agree, IT WILL HAPPEN!
Why does it seem like so many in political parties are only "reactionary".
The GOP's plan is to destroy Medicaid first. Call your Congress Reps and Senators. Stop it. Liar Donald will sign this into law if we don't do anything.
It’s a weak start. Dems need to be stronger in their rhetoric and actions. Little speeches like this and sit ins on the Capitol steps are not effective. No power? Use the power of your voice everywhere, all the time. Also, there is NO going back to business as usual.
Okay, I get what they’re doing, but they had better luck with the sit-in. YOUNG people aren’t watching pressers. They’re watching live on FB/IG/TT. Go to where THEY are! That’s the way you beat back these old fuckers. Plus: NEW BLOOD IN THE DEM LEADERSHIP!
These fuckers act like there aren't MILLIONS of AMERICAN CITIZENS living on our streets who aren't even COUNTED but we need to get those fucking BROWN folks out the way...right?
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Please say it in real people language: the Republicans care about the very rich. And they are going to hurt everyone else in the process. This budget bill is a huge giveaway to the wealthiest people and corporations--- and you will lose your health care.
Ok, but what's Jeffries proposing as an alternative? What would D's do about healthcare after scrubbing "universal healthcare" & "public option" from their platform in favor of "access" to (unaffordable) private, for-profit health insurance?

My local hospital new policy, if you don't pay your bill in full in 90 days. They will charge 8% interest on your outstanding bill. Send it collection. I will go to the next county for my medical needs from now on.
Another speech by Jeffries. Who could he possibly be speaking to that doesn't already know what's going on? Is he just letting us know he knows? Could there possibly be "fence sitters?" Are there people who aren't convinced yet that we're heading for total authoritarianism and "christian" Fascism?
Maybe Jeffries should stop taking mega campaign $ from rightwing AIPAC - “all part of the same scheme”, too. And he should stop voting for more bombs to Nazi Netanyahu’s regime and his fascist IDF committing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza. There is NO good way to kill children. BDS now.
While you're discussing healthcare discrepancies between parties, our fuerer is writing EO's to take military control of our cities.
Put the checkbook down and pick up our constitution and FIGHT THESE FASCISTS!
Democrats have used the take away healthcare message forever. Where’s the new vision. What’s the plan for attacking everything else. Stop playing it safe. I doubt republicans are on the run from strongly worded letters and sit ins at the capital. The democrats numbers are worse then republicans
Dem leaders play it safe because they're owned by the same PACs as their right wing counterparts. Boomer Schumer is owned by private equity firm Blackstone and Jeffries like many of his dem leader peers are owned by AIPAC and other right wing Israeli political action committees.
Hakeem! SAY THEIR NAMES.
“These people” is weak AF. This whole video you’re too chicken 💩 to
Name Mike Johnson (R-La.)
Name Richard Hudson (R-N.C.)
Name Scott Perry (R-Pa.)
Name Gabe Evans (R-Colo.); Juan Ciscomani (R-Ariz.); and Derrick Van Orden (R-Wis.)
You just like to complain no matter what they do. And those letters are important to get on the Congressional record and they often serve as evidence in future lawsuits. Or impeachments. Sorry they don’t entertain you but this isn’t Vegas.
Nicely said @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social “it’s all part of the same scheme… hurt children, hurt families, hurt seniors, close hospitals, shut down nursing homes, and people will die. It’s life or death at this moment.”
I NEED establishment democrats to stop asking consultants what to do and to instead listen to their constituents. This moment requires more than a sign and a slogan from the house minority leader.
It's up to we the People stop looking at the Democratic Party as if they should save us..we are on our own..they're waiting for us to step up and we haven't ..
You are the absolute dumb fuck who HAD to comment. Go fuck your self. We are not on the same side. YKU want Israel to keep committing genocide. I want Palestine to be free.

ENOUGH REPUBLICANS ARE SICK OF THIS TOO!!!
Because they had a vote on the FTC today & literally every Dem voted WITH their GOP colleagues
If you can’t oppose symbolically how will you ever do it literally?
Answer: they won’t
You wouldn’t want to, idk, show some modicum of a spine and oppose them on principle
Forgive me if I see zero point in working with people deporting children with cancer
Will you let people lose access to life-saving care just to not work with the GOP?
I would have figured people would’ve picked up on that considering it’s only been happening for about a decade now
I will never forget the freaks who voted for them
& those who didn't bother to vote at all
what a disgrace

I’m going to need to actively feel the righteous rage in your bones.
Just remember, we know who you all are.
You're the actual "people" represented by cardboard cut outs at town halls.
Your cowardice is a beacon to all who will vote you OUT!
FB, Twitter, Amazon - numbers are all DOWN.
Tesla is barely treading water anymore.
Propose something
Trump has a free penthouse in his mind.

Swear to god. Jeffries is pretending.

Those are NOT the same you dumb fuck
