Jeffries: The notion that everyday Americans need to absorb pain brought on by Donald Trump and his group of MAGA billionaires is ridiculous. Every single House and Senate Republican supporting this needs to be thrown out of office.

Republicans don't want to govern, don't know how to govern and are happy that way. They are a chaos party continually causing chaos when in power. The chaos now is succeeding in causing the destruction of the Constitution and the rule of law. Don't expect Republicans to try to stop it
That’s great and all, but Hakeem, you’re part of the same Dems who seem convinced that making cringey social media posts, & doing stunts to further their own political careers is a “solution”
Amazingly, the guy who led an insurrection is going to require more than words to stop. Do
your job Hakeem.
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Oh, and the Senate and House Democrats, who enable the GOP. Don't forget them...
They need to go, too. They actually need to go to hell!!!
Call your Senators and Representatives right now! Tell them to stop Trump tariffs! (202) 224-3121
People are being laid off, prices are soaring, and 401k's are tanking!
There have been numerous mentions of "a little pain" and common sense recently. The GOP is good at talking points and constant marketing. A lot of people have left both parties to become Independents. Stop Oligarchy. #RallyForTheRepublic
The Republican Party should be done after all this is over. We need multiple political parties in this country, but the Republican Party should not be one of them anymore.
We said that in 2017.
When we expect republicans to “come around” or “snap out of it” we’re projecting.
We think they will - because we would snap out of it.
But if republicans *could* snap out of it -
THEY WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN REPUBLICANS.
Trump and minions do not care about working people!
We are only necessary to make them richer!
We must tighten our belts and use our power!
Which is our voice our protesting and our purse/wallet!!
Trump can be removed from office for violating the 14th amendment, giving aid to Enrique Tarrio, a man convicted of seditious conspiracy against the USA. Wtf are we waiting for?
No but after schumer and jeffries not endorsing Harris, and both of them acquiesced to GOP, they are both dead to me! You support who you want! I want aggressive representation, those two busy writing books.
YES! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social YES!
Call for resignations of
Donald Trump, JD Vance, Mike Johnson, Senate&House republicans for failure to uphold their duties as sworn.
Let’s start by throwing out pipsqueak Johnson-this could come before the house if not for his calculated actions.The senate has voted-the clown should be allowed to set tariffs, destroy ours and our allies economies! We expect more from our reps in Congress-use your power to put the clown in check!
Damn fucking straight and remember the GOP is not gonna do well if people turn out to vote because of the crap and Pain their feeling now except for the diehard MAGA who are doing it to support their master
Describe it Hakeem! Should we hope and pray that we'll have the opportunity to vote them out in two years? Cause it seems that dems knowledge about what's right or wrong isn't slowing maga's scorched earth policies.
This is true of all Dems who don’t introduce and vocally support a bill that applies retroactively to all of the Trump tariffs to date. The failure to do so is a show of support for them.
Guys, we need a verbal attack dog for this moment. We need energy that meets this crisis with the urgency it deserves. In other words, we need new leadership in the house and senate. Jeffries speaks like it's 2002, and he's debating Bush's tax cuts. We need to save our country. Act like it!
That's the most angry and energetic I've ever seen Jeffries. To be fair, he still looks like a sleepy robot and is unable to express emotions in his face, but it's something. I guess.
Can we get sane billionaires to primary all these republicans? A lot of them are apparently afraid of Musk throwing millions into primary challenges why don't we do it to them anyway.
1. Hakeem Jeffries and Schumer are not the same
2. "War leadership" isn't coming from Congress. It never fucking should. Fostering that expectation will leave you and others crippled and disappointed.
Sure. It drives me crazy that Trump & his rich cronies keep insisting that we need to "suffer pain." It's so crazy & cruel. Yet some folks I know buy it.
Jeffries said: "The notion that everyday Americans need to absorb pain brought on by Trump and his billionaires is ridiculous." Yes, this!
Listen up Dems - instead of calling us everyday Americans, how about you start calling us THE TAXPAYERS - because it appears we are the only ones who have been paying them all these years - that's our money - the American Taxpayers if you must - but quit humbling us - we're not weak!
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social FINALLY!! This is awesome to see more of your personality and hear your real voice! This interview shows more of your authentic self and this is what we need!
Be brave, get loud, be loud and unapologetic about standing up to these fascists!
As much as I don't care for this charisma void of a leader, he is absolutely correct in framing the argument to where maga is the billionaire culture club. That is the argument to be made. Especially as the middle class and poor keep taking these punches to their pockets.
We work hard and sacrifice in order to be financially stable and possibly retire. Trump can and will destroy all of those hopes because of stupidity and greed. It makes me sick.
House needs to get the Dems to go after 10 gop members to vote to take control of tarriffs back before the depression and it’s too late to undo the damage. This crash is what projeft2025 wants don’t let it happen
All the MAGA I text with say they are willing to feel the "pinch"..even if they lose their S.S. check..
Or so they say now.
I guess we will see, won't we?
If this goes on for a while, they may change their minds.
I know. It's crazy! But,what I do is say something like " I believe that we both want good things for this country, we just disagree on how to achieve that. I sincerely wish you well. It's too bad, if we weren't on opposite sides, maybe we could be friends."
And the ice is broken & we start talking
try.. they say some crazy shit and I respond with facts. they start whataboutism and honestly, it’s so much work dealing with cultists. you don’t get very far anyways and then they go back to listening to Rogan or Fox News. They live in a completely different reality pushed by Fox News narrative.
That is what usually happens.😟 The thing is, once you establish a friendlier tone, those who aren't completely brainwashed, begin to give a BIT.
I make a point to talk about things other than politics with them. Then, sneak a little in. It is work, but it's important to try, I think.
I understand. I do. I think very bad thoughts sometimes.
But, truth is, in order to turn this around, we have to reach across the aisle to catch the ones who " come to" because we will need their votes.
We need to be bigger people than they are. 🤷
And we also need to make some "good " trouble too.
I actually made a friend with one..and no, we don't agree. But, I'm hopeful that maybe someday I can make headway..he DOES think bringing the Tate bros here was very sketchy..bad.
Right now, they are rabidly in favor of him. Only one exception...a vet with big regrets. I feel for him. 😟
Thanks so much, Margie! Btw, I just saw your Beatles quote. There's a mistake, but I think I like your "version" better!
The record says, "...equal to the love you make.". With friendly regards and respect!! Thanks again!
Elon is just finding money he can steal as a military contractor through Space X. Trillions$. He will break laws. Trump will pardon him as well. Trump has presidential immunity. Our government needs to get rid of his immunity.
On Trump BS Tariff, Are Liar Racist Felon Criminal Dictator Trump, CEOs and US Companies in USA going raise their minimum wages and pay more to their employee's making things in USA, to US people can buy things make in USA or they are going still pay the same low min wages the other countries do???
I so want Pete Buttigieg, Chris Murphy, Raskin, AOC etc speaking frequently. Jefferies is a fine guy, but just not at all an effective messenger. It’s funny because Pete Buttigieg is pretty mild mannered, but he is very engaging.
He needs to motivate voters and define Democratic party's differences from GOP, not win a silly high school debate and voters vote on emotion, it's a simple as that.
The American people are being exploited by Trump and his circle of oligarchs. We are not pawns to be manipulated by aspiring dictators or greedy billionaires like Soros and Elon Musk.
How about the Senate Democrats who supported the CR giving him that authority? Or the Senate Democrats who agreed to unanimous consent on the CR? (every damn one of them).
The Republicans in office currently have to know their fate, Rand Paul does. They need to be Kamikaze politicians, they have the ability to end these tariffs and save their reputations.
Problem is they can’t be thrown out until midterms. Not aware if any state has recall option. W/ losing Fla special elections, a near term power shift doesn’t seem possible. Best option = heavy light shining on select Repub legislators to force some to stand up. People pressure with Dem leadership.
Especially when they aren't going to experience the least discomfort. $9trillion in 401k's will be syphoned up by the richest before anyone can move against them. Mutual funds don't stand a chance.
They're planning on privatizing alot too. To your point, JD has his sights set on our farmers' land for pennies on the dollar. If I were a farmer and I knew this all my shit would inexplicably catch fire and I'd take my ins claim money and run. I hope they all do it. Leave them NOTHING.
This is where Democrats polite decorum brought us ... Pelosi didn't want to act sooner, Garland was more concerned about his own image and didn't want to be the 1st AG to charge a former president... and Schumer has no energy or fight in him until the midterms and then he will fix things.
Id gladly give you PAIN today for a boom in the stock market in my fantasy world tomorrow..He and his whole admin keeps up with the pain..I wasn't hurting until Donlione got elected in 2016..now in 2024 hes back to inflicting pain again..Im not a masochist .. but he sure is a sadist.
Jeffries wasted valuable time in January & February, shadow-boxing against "the far left AND the radical right" and thought that the deluge of calls from constituents in response to Musk's Treasury break-in was the work of activists(!!).
What he said to MeidasTouch he needs to say to legacy media.
General Ulysses S Grant regarding when you get in contact with the energy l enemy, "get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can and keep moving on"
The right is weakened now... Get at them now!
What if a Democratic President said such a thing? You need to feel pain for eventual gain... There would be non-stop outrage across the state media echosphere... But Diaper Donnie says it and oh, what a hero! He's giving us the straight talk. Disgraceful idiocy, and he's just warming up.
He’s so ungodly boring. He’s a terrible messenger. His face never moves and he speaks in a bouncy sing-song fashion that drives me nuts! He’s gotta go.
How many ppl in the comments are career trolls? Those MFs are embedded in anything that mentions Jeffries and are spreading false narratives, disinformation, and distrust sans empiricism. This is my official "fuck you" in advance. Been tracking u MFs for 8.2 weeks.
It's criminal that the measure of economic health is anything other than "can a single working parent house, clothe, feed, and support basic necessities for a family of four on minimum wage".

He's not a president, he's a rapist. First it was E Jean Carroll and now it's the whole fucking country.
Get that fucker out of office!

We're not being asked to Accept Pain because of some natural disaster or foreign attack.
We're being asked to Accept Pain because of the whims of a madman.
#ImpeachTrump
People are being laid off, prices are soaring, and 401k's are tanking!
At least since 2020!!
You haven't done anything since '16.
You've had enough time
We've been screaming this at him for years. What changed him suddenly?

We need real leaders. War time Leadership. Not these mealy mouthed political operatives like @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social
Where is our war leader?
2. "War leadership" isn't coming from Congress. It never fucking should. Fostering that expectation will leave you and others crippled and disappointed.
Be your own Messiah.

The country was going along pretty steady under Joe & was improving to be on a trajectory of the best economy in it's history.
When you're on a good thing stick to it.
No exceptions.
That's what Co-President E-lon and his 4 year old human shield will remind us
They are quoting Goebbels ffs. Dems need to get out the heavy moves.
Canada & Mex were trial balloons. Them rushing to MAKE A DEAL made him FEEL OMNIPOTENT

Using “we” ironically because I didn’t vote for any of this.
It is the difference between being a leader (Cory) and being a backseat driver (Jeffries and Schumer).

#RESIGN #TODAY you shameless #CANCER!!
Every SINGLE day #schumer “leads” is a day tRump - AND MUSK - easily WIN…
BRING IT TO THE FLOOR IN BOTH HOUSES!
