House Democrats are gathering on Capitol Hill to protest the Republican budget.
Hakeem Jeffries:
"Our very way of life as a country is under assault. Democracy itself is under assault."

BULLSHIT
When Rachel interviewed him, he talked about the rally planned for the next day.
I don’t work with any of them. I watched the interview.
Positively dense. However, this is hopeful (hopeful battery 🪫 currently 6%).
I am among the 92%, we did our part. We, Don’t have the luxury to sit back a wait for anyone. Never have.
My opinion, the American people are the embarrassment.
After the press conference when Rep Jeffries whined “what can we do, we’re the minority party” everyday Democrats were frustrated at the surrender; no plan, no fire.
Rachel offered him several chances to state real actions. He punted.
Imagine Newt Gingrich being that soft.
I get so confused. Is it Rachel Maddow or Nicolle Wallace?
that's a problem they think will be some advantage
whenforwhatandhow
smh
which is squeezing whatever he can for it-while sticking it to the good hard working people of our country‼️Wake up America‼️
#takeourcountryback #countryoverparty #americaneconomy
Dems need to do more!! Talk is cheap…standing on Capitol Hill is easy…we need fighters not talkers!
The total ‘leadership’ (?) is failing ‘We the People’!!
𝑻𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒂𝒄𝒕…
I want them to research what other ppl did in similar instances that worked to stop this.
You want a cheerleader, not a leader.
Sometimes they say that so the other side thinks they
can get their support. It's only talk. He didn't do that, though. He was wondering if they'd consider actually getting rid of waste, but they were LYING the whole time.
Reps are pretending it's abt waste
He needs to stop trying to sound someone else & start calling it like it is. This is no time for optics but if he is going to play to them; he needs to be more like Michelle Obama of 2024.
One small example of what solidarity can provide:

yeah
Really
adored him but AOC and Crockett taking all the heat.
Appreciate women.
We gonna save your dumb asses.
For the 1000000000000000000
time. So tired. And I’m white.
Never would have made it black.
I’d have raged out on all yall.
Not trained to be stoic.
Might still need bail money.
I miss my love Nancy Pelosy man.
Jeffries has almost no expression.
I prefer to see him working at a Dairy Queen in the back of the Kitchen or at the back of a garbage truck.
Wonder when he’ll start walking his talk, or if he’ll keep whining that Democratic voters aren’t calling GOP representatives.
Fuck that guy.
ANYTHING
they have no message for America
weak and pathetic
MAGA / GOP don’t give a fuck about it , obstruct on the fvkn Congress floor !!!
WTF does this performative shite do?
PLEASE help me to understand...
Thank you so much!
We MUST ALL start to join , gather together. Call and write in LARGE numbers, Gather online and on the streets
We cannot wait until he has taken full control. NOW
2/28: Buy nothing
3/1: Tesla protest
3/4: #50501 protest
3/7: Stand up for science protest
Be prepared to protest if the Administration refuses Judge Ali's orders to restore USAID funding within 48 hours
But they haven’t received one call- nobody knows who he is.
THE DEMS WE HAVE ARE BROKEN
PRIMARY THEM ALL
Pls don't disparage them for wanting elected officials to fight for the people.
A great look into this (in a non-political way) is in Alan Alda's book "If I Understood You Would I Have This Look On My Face?"
A must read, honestly. EVERY politician (and avg. Joe) ought to read it!
2/2
Yes, the Dems need to work on messaging and communication. They also "are" taking steps.
In a crisis, there is zero time for people to be passive.
And I *know* that Jeffries isn't just sitting on his hands doing nothing.
But if THAT MANY people feel he isn't doing anything, then the communication failure is on him for not being able to reach those people.
1/2
1) the people upset w/him and posting about it don't have the megaphone Jeffries does
2) considering his position & megaphone, his fight (esp. compared to some others like Crockett, AOC, Murphy, Raskin) appears weak.
We want leaders who LEAD BY EXAMPLE, LOUDLY
I've seen the video of the woman dragged out of the town hall. Everyone just stood there watching/recording, some yelling.
Where were the people running up, tackling the guys and STOPPING it??
It's too late when you're in the gulag
( Given how many people were screaming for Maxine Waters to take on the rent-a-guard at USAID in order to be thrown in jail...some math wasn't mathing.)
2. The dream team is a phenomenal idea--for the future. We have danger right here, right now at our doorstep, and need to learn to work with what we got.
Embarrassed????? Are you fucking kidding all allies??????
It is a disaster and a pure betrayal of the Western alliance!
This act of total indecency should never be forgotten!
"My daughter is a federal worker whose job is under attack right now by President Elmo and his lackey, the bronze buffoon. Please help me to bombard their email server with nonsense. Here is the email address: [email protected]"
Thank you for making good trouble!
@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social RESIGN NOW, or we will all just have to be comfortable being fascist!!!
The way you & @schumer.senate.gov “fight” you make Jan 6 look like a HOLIDAY!!
Fuck decorum
Say This:
"Not a single Republican has an ounce of loyalty to the Constitution or care for their constituents."
a) they take place
b) nobody tempers with them
Bring some #KatiePorterWhiteBoards and show Americans how ending Medicaid means:
Medicaid is the primary program providing comprehensive coverage of health and long-term care to 83 MILLION low-income people in the United States.
