Jeffries: It's unfortunate that many of our Republican colleagues are determined to stand up a shadow government of the billionaires, by the billionaires, and for the billionaires that will stick it to the American people…

It's unfortunate that many of our Democrat leaders are gutless pansies and can't stand up to a 78 year old, obese, bald man and his South African wife!!
Respectfully, it’s a coup. An attack against the United States government co-signed by the sitting President. It’s Trump’s second attempt to seize dictatorial power. His first attempt was violent and easier to call out in the moment. This one is extremely dangerous in a completely different way.
It’s more than unfortunate, it’s actually against the law unless they vote to create this new government agency and vote to confirm Musk and his crew as government officials
Mr.Jefferies. You do not have to use polite, flowery words towards the Republicans who are too far gone to protect democracy. Call them cowards, fascists, anti-American, scum!
wow...so unfortunate. If only there was something Dems could do, like slowing down the gears of the House and Senate while deciding not to vote for FOTUS' nominees. If only.
The GOP passed a CR with Dems and now are working to renig. The GOP knows they can't gut agencies through legislation, so they'll just let DOGE and Elon do it.
But you've been way too eager to keep the money flowing into your campaigns for years to enrich the political parties to have done anything to prevent this in the first place!
Yes. We know!
What we Do Not know is what y’all are gonna do about it??
Enuf with “strongly worded letters” and press conferences telling us you’ll “use every tool in your toolbox”..
DO SOMETHING!!!
We have to listen to everything that is going on, so nothing slips through the cracks - Giving Trump / Musk Any opportunity to succeed in their evil plans to this country -
I heard this morning that Elon only has 130 days of free time - so lets keep Musk tied up in litigation in our courts -
Hakeem, can you please get really fucking angry? If I turn off the sound, it looks like you're lecturing naughty 5th graders. You're losing your democracy -- I think this warrants a little more passion to wake the sheep up, no?
Fine speach making...now shut the Senate down. Grind it to a crawl. Make the business for the coup leaders as slow & painful as possible (in both Chambers).Cause your proposed bill to make that which is already illegal, super duper illegal will never get passed.Even if it did they'd still ignore it.
Used to like Jeffries. But right now, Rhymin sounds like Cryin. Aggressive response means somebody gonna get hurt. Today, it's all of the American people. Stand up & kick ass. Fight, fight, fight FFS.
If I hear the words unfortunate,interesting,concerning,disappointing or any of that ilk ONE MORE TIME by the Dems/media I’m going 2 kill myself!The country is burning 2 the ground.If these r the people we’re depending on,I have no hope.Were Dems always so cowardly?Did they never learn how 2 fight?
We already know we’re being raped. What is the Democratic Party going to do about it? The Federal Fisc is compromised taking away Congrssional power & discretion over Federal spending thru payment disruption @ Treasury. The President doesn’t have Constitutional authority to rewrite the Constitution.
These stupid republicans in the house don’t seem to understand they are abdicating their power and Trump will just flush them when he’s succeeded in taking over.
This is winning messaging. Not Crockett riffing about mediocre white boys. I love Crockett but damn that remark will cost a lot of votes and allies in whats to come. Jeffries rising to the moment and taking cues from Sanders and AOC here.
Unfortunate? Unfortunate is when your ice cream falls off the cone. This is antithetical to the term Public Servant. This is ruinous for the middle class. This is bootlicking and it’s disastrous for the country. Unfortunate… what next? You’ll the how disappointed you are?
I don’t want to hear the word bipartisan come out of the mouth of any Dem representative. They should be shunning their fascist GOP colleagues. They need to know enabling an authoritarian violates their oath to uphold the constitution.
It amazes me how many Republicans hate this country. Or love themselves more than the nation they are sworn to protect. Either way it’s a disgrace. But because I do love this country, I’ll continue to speak out and so should every true patriot.
Way beyond Unfortunate.. Appalling, Unconstitutional, UnAmerican... Running the country into the ground is not running the country. This Administration is displaying it's insincerity, incompetence and conflicting interests daily.
Where is all the "good trouble" John Lewis use to talk about . I want to see something (non-violent) that makes the storming of the Capitol on 1/6 look like a bunch of patriotic tourists having a gander.
Unfortunate? Are you kidding? That's what you call this coup?? We are being taken over by a fascist and you act like you got gum on your shoe. And Schumer? Wtf is wrong with him?
Schumer is a piece of shit! The DNC is dead. You will never get support again!
Great you know what the problem is. What are you going to do about? While y’all chat it up the American people
Are Scared and losing confidence that anyone or group can stop this dumpster fire ! Wheels of justice move way to slow to get a result! In case you didn’t notice 47-Muskrat does not care!
Unfortunate?? To experience a coup is unfortunate?? How about fucking devastating??They showed you who they were years ago. And yet Dems refused to believe them.
It IS unfortunate. Why aren't you running nationwide ads alerting the American people to this attempted raid on our money by the richest man in the world? @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Stop letting Republicans control the messaging, fight their BS propaganda. Educate the American people!
Stop with the wimpy reactions and stupid statements!! Are you nuts??!! It's not unfortunate; it's OUTRAGEOUS AND INTOLERABLE and we need urgent lawsuits to go straight to scotus for immediate action.
That's so mean of them. After all these decades of us Democrats being on our knees, begging them to be nice to us. All that holding hands with the GOP that Sen. Chris Coons did at the National Prayer Breakfast. I just can't believe it. I'm in tears.
These two and the pressers. Get thine asses on the streets! Dem leadership needs a serious change. They’ve failed. These two are just disappointing. Covering their asses while patting themselves on the back.
COOL MORE TALKING THAT'S WHAT WE NEED NOT TAKING BLUNT INSTRUMENTS AND BEATING ELON AND HIS PUNKS TO A PULP NOPE THAT WOULD BE SO SO WRONG AND ILLEGAL 🤬
There is no one to stop this. It would be inconceivable that a billionaire would just eliminate a federal agency created by congress. And congress will not resist. They will nominate an incompetent corrupt stooge to lead the FBI! And the senate will confirm. They are going to rob us blind.
These senators have been bought and paid for by the shame criminal in chief. They don't care. The time of reason is past. They cannot hear you and they have moved on.
There goes that “republican colleague” crap again. They are not your colleagues. Colleagues work together. They are not your friends.
How many times does the enemy have to show themselves to be the enemy before you get it?
Republicans have stopped so much progress for democracy and we’re advancing their own agenda over the years and the Democrats have just fucking whined. Do what you were elected to do or get the fuck out!!! The time for playing nice is over!

Jeffries is weak.
He and Schumer are cosplaying Mimes while the entire federal government is being dismantled.
Try disgusting.
The country is in an existential crisis and these two jackwagons are INTRODUCTING LEGISLATION.
Good God, they deserve the pain that's coming. They truly do.
What we Do Not know is what y’all are gonna do about it??
Enuf with “strongly worded letters” and press conferences telling us you’ll “use every tool in your toolbox”..
DO SOMETHING!!!

The MAGA crowd, at this moment needs hell fire and fury from Democrats.
The gathering storms of tyranny are upon us again. The blood sacrifice is demanded once more…
Prepare
It’s fucking criminal and spineless - say it.
How the fuck do these people not understand this.
There, Hakeem......... fixed it for you.
Schumer is a piece of shit! The DNC is dead. You will never get support again!
Are Scared and losing confidence that anyone or group can stop this dumpster fire ! Wheels of justice move way to slow to get a result! In case you didn’t notice 47-Muskrat does not care!
Never thought members of Congress would turn against Americans.
Stop letting Republicans control the messaging, fight their BS propaganda. Educate the American people!
What the F.
It's "unfortunate that the restaurant doesn't have my favorite wine" is a better context for that word.
This civilised tone is never going to defeat the insurrectionists.
How about outrageous, scandalous, or even treasonous ?!
I hate yelling, but I'm fecking frustrated as hell.
they will quickly be “yes”-ing themselves out of jobs and into a dictatorship.
How many times does the enemy have to show themselves to be the enemy before you get it?
