Moskowitz: They have no brakes. They’re drunk with power. And the only way we’re going to send a message to them—the only way we’re going to be able to put brakes on this and stop it—is to make Hakeem Jeffries Speaker.

Make Jeffries speaker so that YOU can give him a vote of no confidence like you did Rep Green?? Moskowitz’s opinion is irrelevant to me. He’s useless when it comes to action.
Harem is OK but I belive, given the chance, dems should look deeper and possibly someone with "new" and maybe more intuned with presenting their points using todays media more effectively.
That sounded like a headline from The Onion.
How about calling in the illegally fired Joint Chiefs of Staff and JAG members and fking get these traitors out of our fkn HOUSE??
The weaponized incompetence and complicity from the Dems is nauseating.

Maybe we’ll have a free and fair midterm election. But I question that. They blatantly slashed things their constituents depend on. They’re either counting on the abject stupidity of their constituents, or they don’t have a reason to worry about winning a free and fair election.
you need to either include CC options in your clips, or include another link that goes to the full version on YT or wherever THAT HAS THE CLOSED CAPTIONS.
This time around is unbelievably malevolent. Much worse than I had imagined.
I am involved with a local Indivisible group. But I dont see us changing the course of history. I believe that we have to have large scale non violent action.
They seated an insurrectionist, we HAD a 14th Amendment for a REASON. They ignored it, at their peril. Don't give them another fucking dime. @magaziner.house.gov @reed.senate.gov
Step #1: People have to vote and until those decide to vote nothing is going to change. Where is Hakeem? Cory has been out with the people and hosting events. Hakeem sure hasn't.
Shove your blue no matter who crap. That’s why we’ve had four house members die in the last year. Out with all the corporate establishment. We knew ideas and new leadership. David Hogg is right.
Trump definitely stole the 2024 election with the help of Musk. He’s just going to do it again since the democrats did nothing. Not even one precinct recounted with all the bullshit and irregularities.
Since twitler keeps bragging about the 2024 election being rigged for him to win & hinted that "blue states may simply disappear from the map", I kind of expecting any elections that are allowed will only be allowed if the twitler gets what he wants. In that case, Jeffries won't be made speaker.
No. Enough with the Zionist puppets who cheer about "bi-partisan" financial, diplomatic, & military logistic support for the genocidal, apartheid settler-colonial, terrorist, Israel. He needs to go.
Blame lies with the voter who voted these self-interest people into office. It's not dems do your job it's you the voter. Shame on you for not looking past your nose when voting.
Nope. It’s a politicians job to get people to the polls. If democrats failed at that that means they had a bad campaign or candidate. Personally I think it was both.
Ugh, not Hakeem! This ain’t the time to bust a rhyme. We need a real leader to take real action, not just a camera hog trying his best to emulate Obama.
If you peruse the replies in this thread, you'll find that most people apparently believe the Speaker of the House's job is to create entertaining social media content.
Bullshit. Absolutely not. Moskowitz is also the feckless twat that said he and Jeffries want to take the Dems as far to the right as they need to because he thinks that's what it will take to win. Jeffries can under no circumstances become speaker.
I agree republicans are drunk with power. But I’m having a hard time going along with Jefferies. I’m not convinced that he’s the right choice for speaker.
That's the way to go. Here in Australia we have a large number of independents sitting on the cross benches, last parliament they held a balance of power & influenced a lot of policy. Like U, the 2 major parties R trying 2 alter rules to make it harder for them 2 get elected.
Here in the US, every election only has two possible outcomes: A Democrat wins, or a Republican does. The accounts that post calls for third-party votes are fascist propagandists. You've inadvertently made yourself one of them, and I hope you'll stop.
Dems need to stop playing by Marquess of Queensberry rules, get in the mud with Repubs and fight to win. Find 5 vulnerable Congressmen, find out what their lobbyists pay them and offer to double that to switch to Independent and caucus with the Dems like Angus King. Bribes are legal now, Right?
I agree. And when we have many more AOC’s and Crocketts (there’s others too) in the party then we can see if the AOC wants to run for POTUS. AOC is too important in her current role or in the Senate IMHO.
I don't trust Hakeen Jeffries either. He's been slow and ineffectual to respond to all this.
He needs to step aside if he's unwilling to lead in a crisis.
Which ain't going to happen because Dems keep electing older than fuck people who keep dying in office. It takes a minimum of 6 months to replace them even if it's a safe Democratic district.
The sad & horrific situation makes many of us think - what if there are no more elections? Seems Trump & his Republican crime syndicate don’t seem to care about polls or their constituents’ opinions anymore. Maybe because they all have been told not to worry - elections will be “fixed” or ended.
Sorry...but no. We need someone angry and fed up. We need someone cold, calculating, and heartless. We need a type who will punch fascists, Nazis, and Constitutional traitors in the mouth every time they rear their ugly heads. Hakeem Jeffries ain't that bro. He's far from it.
The Speaker's job would be to organize and lead House Democrats, and to strategically schedule House business for legislative achievement.
AOC has never introduced any legislation, and she just finished a nationwide tour of anti-Democratic Party rallies. That's the opposite of the Speaker's job.
Thank you for this comment. Most of us have no idea about what the Speaker does day to day. Is Jeffries a great public relations guy? Maybe not. Is he a good manager and negotiator? Probably.
Just to remind everyone. Do NOT take facts for granted from anyone. This guy ‘Mike’ just stated AOC has never introduced a bill in the House. This is blatantly untrue. This was an attempt to discourage discussion of her becoming Speaker. Why? Do not take anything on social media at face value.
All of us are voting in 2026. We need Democrats to take over Congress leadership. That’s the only way we can put in some controls over Trump regime corruption. America is in crisis.
What??? I’m pretty sure Jeffries doesn’t instill the kind of fear he think he does. It may sound shallow (but remember who we’re talking about); if tRump is challenged by a beautiful, smart, YOUNG woman he will go berserk. But most of all, she’s as tough as they come!
he is too nice and not up for a fight with trump nazis. biden was the same, schumer, weak feckless, lacking backbone and fight. we need someone to get the base enthused and you do that by fighting not trying to hug hate filled antidemocratic gop nazis
I am quite sure Elon will massively finance Hakeem : he knows that Jeffries will basically hand the congress to Maga. Same as Schumer. They are useful idiots.
Hakeem is a gift to Maga. He should never be speaker as just too lacking charisma. We are on blue Sky and nobody likes him as a person. We need a stronger leader. By a lot.
All of you Dems go away!You had 4yrs to stop him from running again,indict try and send him to prison,you didn’t!You sat on your hands and pretended alls good!All wasn’t good!Wray, Garland didn’t do their job and you did nothing!Current Trump mess is on you all, everyone of you in Congress/Senate!
On the right track, but does Hakeem really strike ANYONE as the leader the moment calls for? Where is 2027 congressional take over plan? Where is his plan to stop the senate? To unwind the unlawfulness? W/o a plan and pr campaign, who cares?
Well... that's better than what we have currently... That being said, Jeffries would work about as well as putting brakes from a 10 speed bike on a dump truck. He had opportunities to "put brakes on" and they tore through him like a wet paper towel. Get a real fighter or we're all going down.
Stopping them is easy..We control the market. It's our money we let them use it. Pay rent one month in advance. Put your money in certified checks. Keep some cash. It's legal. Leaves no reason to enact martial law. #fiftyfiftyone #GoldonArseAges #Anonymous repeat every payday. Every city.
Moskowitz is a gross piece of shit. Why is he being platformed? The guy who thought Gaetz was going to a great selection. He's bent over for maga a few times already...
Don't think the muskrats and russian hackers will allow that to happen -- IF we have elections that would make that possible. There are other ways to stop them, if only those with the power to do so would do so.
He keeps voting for Trump nominees and telling more successful politicians to stop traveling to El Salvadore to fight for their constituents. Stop being a shill for politicians who would let you die just to make an extra buck.
Oh, HELL NO. We need AOC or Crockett now. Booker and Jefferies have not shown the strength needed at this crossroads. They need to get out of the way and let these women lead. Period.
Don’t let it happen fellow Americans. They’re not for us. They’re being nice now because they need us, but when this is over, we will NOT go back to the status quo. Nope.
Well, dude, start the fucking process. It only takes one person to start the process to vacate the chair. Or maybe we should go back in time and not protect him when Empty G made her motion. But really, it's time, Shit or get off the pot and let someone on that will Shit.
Are you kidding? that ship sailed long ago. what do you think that's going to do? You going to impeach him again and then have the senate do nothing again? That'll show em, eh?
Ummmm.... maybe the only way to get them to represent the people is to remove all of the zionists from office. Vote better, folks. Do your research at https://Opensecrets.org and https://aipac.org. Let me help you start things off..
I did that not so deep dive a couple of weeks ago. The information is easy to find and utterly shocking. My Senator, Adam Schiff has gotten more than $6M from AIPAC. Anyone that has taken that money is not working for us. They are working for Israel, the worst country on earth (besides us).
I will never forget, on the day of the vote for speaker, Johnson and Jefferies laughing and Johnson giving Jefferies a bro slap on his arm. Like it was all a game.
They are in the same prayer group. A Pelosi puppet including hand and arm movements with that irksome monotone voice. He's an AIPAC shill and not fit for this moment in time.
I am shocked that the Americans are not protesting en masse about this unbelievable horrible president, his unqualified administration & the corruption! The Serbs protested A LOT more for a collapsed canopy & the protests are still ongoing!! WTF are the Americans waiting for??
I haven’t been able to
fathom how any group could be happy doing what they’re doing. Incomprehensible that they’re ok taking away healthcare, food, science, emergency relief. And WTF with silencers??
appointee confirmation cooperation, went on book tour instead of town halls and ‘fixed it’ with a no purpose 24 hr filibuster and a ‘sit in’ with no actions. he supports the genocide. can’t keep pretending.
That's Cory Booker. Jeffries is all the lip service of Booker, but without any performative actions. Cory can speak better than Jeffries. Jeffries calls to action are as dry as week old toast.
And unfortunately that would do absolutely nothing. Do you people not understand what a dictatorship looks like? The longer Americans allow it to grow the harder it will be to knock it down.
Listen Jeffries needs to STEP UP!! THEY CHARGED 1 of his people in congress!! He said that was Red line? Where is he and what is he doing about? Mark Elias is out on island with m matters! No protests No outrage?
"They said"....and we're shocked they were proven corrupt criminal liars?
NOT THE ONLY REMEDY
Blaming us for losing a rigged election by a proven Election Interference criminal who had to win or faced prison?
We didn't lose 2024. He did. The vigilante+3.5mm voters purged proven IN COURT TOO LATE!

Democrats need to address this if we're going to win.
Rs will do everything they can to disavow ballots, suppress votes, restrict votes and so on!
How about calling in the illegally fired Joint Chiefs of Staff and JAG members and fking get these traitors out of our fkn HOUSE??
The weaponized incompetence and complicity from the Dems is nauseating.
Jefferies seems nice but I've personally have never gone out of my way to listen to him speak in this age of 30 second sound bites.
But I have for a former BU student who's now a congresswoman.
― Gene Sharp, From Dictatorship to Democracy
in any case, November 2026 is much too far away
we're not going to have a 2018 moment to save us. the work has to happen much earlier. as fast as he's been destroying we have to work to counter
I am involved with a local Indivisible group. But I dont see us changing the course of history. I believe that we have to have large scale non violent action.
Thats not good.
We had our shot. We blew it completely. There's no going back. People were warned and were to arrogant to listen.
So now we reap the whirlwind.
“This is the only way so don’t blame our party for inaction when this doesn’t happen.”
WE DO NOT HAVE UNTIL 2026

Trump admin regulators launch investigation into Media Matters, adding to pattern

Until that changes, nothing will. It's the likes of AOC, Sanders, Crockett that will b the change, if the everyday voter makes enough noise.
Here in the US, every election only has two possible outcomes: A Democrat wins, or a Republican does. The accounts that post calls for third-party votes are fascist propagandists. You've inadvertently made yourself one of them, and I hope you'll stop.
They STILL don't GET it, do they?
time to clean
you don't keep running the same players out there when your getting your ass kicked
you make changes
the way he talks is horrible
stop pause wait start
arrhhhhgghhh I can't fucking stand listening to him talk
DECORUM, at any cost!
Find out how Elon and MAGA cheats likely rigged our election.
Jeffries doesn’t stand a chance of winning now, we have been snookered, hacked and unfortunately can’t prove it, yet.
He needs to step aside if he's unwilling to lead in a crisis.
Dare to dream a little bigger than Hakeem Jeffries.
And the sooner you soppy cunts realise that, the better.
AOC has never introduced any legislation, and she just finished a nationwide tour of anti-Democratic Party rallies. That's the opposite of the Speaker's job.
@ocasio-cortez.house.gov is the only choice to lead in this time.
NOW‼️
FIVE ALARM FIRE‼️
We could try a Democrat with a spine.
it's not dramatic
it's annoying and impossible to follow
he's the leader therefore
he is the loser
I'm sorry you love losing but I'm sick of it
fix it or I'll leave the party
they aren't fucking listening
Do we have it in us to finish the job?
Who the hell wants to stand in line for hours to vote under bomb threats, running out of ballots, voting machines breaking down,...
Has he addressed any of that? Nope.
