Protest on January 3-5. Tell our lawmakers to follow the constitution and block 45. Constitutional scholars are saying even after the corrupt 5 SC decision, 45 is still disqualified. See @jessicadenson07.bsky.social videos.
This seems to be dangerous! You have tech people that have access to all information that's about change our infrastructure and do things their way. How are we going to win? They also cheat. I got a feeling a lot of people will be threaten too. It's going to get dangerous.
Mr Jeffries. Start acting like you are fighting for us. Stop bringing a butter knife to a gun fight. I’ve been saying this for years the Ds messaging sucks. Those in leadership roles are beyond the age of life expectancy. Midterms are quickly approaching.
Just adding some supplementary materials to your post. Attached are some important parts of the SCOTUS Anderson ruling so everyone can see the truth and the proof for themselves before or after watching Jessica Denson's video.
The only way to win is to stop Trump from taking office. He is Constitutionally disqualified. We need all members of Congress to uphold the Constitution and object to the certification of the electoral votes.
Y'all really gonna hand the entire country over to known fascists w ties to Russia, China, Saudi & God knows who else.
If course you are becaus all you politicians are rich & all that money might protect you from most of the suffering that's sure to happen to us proletariat. You've abandoned us all
I wish we could find a way to reach willfully ignorant voters. I have talked to several educated, successful Trump voters. They didn't watch the January 6th hearings or read either of the Federal Indictments. I have no idea what we do about that. I hope somebody does.
I hope Mitch realizes how History will remember him. We would not have an Unfit, Bat Shit Crazy man and a South African Billionaire running the country if he had the MORAL COURAGE to offload Trump when he had the chance and he had several.
Nancy has gotten a lot of shit done because she knows how to count votes. Only morons think fringes can pass anything. Joe has been the best president of the last more than 60 years and he's a moderate.
I pray you and the dems can prevent the death and destruction Elonia and vice president trump are preparing to unleash,people are going to starve and millions will die from preventable diseases,theyre playing for eternal keeps,dems need to start going low instead of whats expected,now play dirty
Fight fire with fire 🔥
I hope you guys are out of fucks go give and think outside of the box for the American people who truly do believe we can build a better future for this country. Choose to dissent don’t make it bearable for them. I hope you all realize the grave threat against our nation.
If you want to win, invoke the sec 3 of the 14th Amendment and calls for a vote to rewove Trump’s disqualification. We both know he can’t muster 2/3 of each chamber.
So in other words, I think this is possible if @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and a few others like @raskin.house.gov and @repjasmine.bsky.social bring this to the House Floor. Congress needs to stand their ground and uphold their oath to the constitution.
AM14 is self-executing. Congress would only need 20% to confirm his disability. A 2/3 majority (66%) will give him amnesty and allow him to take office.
By the looks of MAGA and conservatives, they’re self-destructing as we speak. Drumpf doesn’t have a 2/3 majority on his side.
Oh and don't forget @schumer.senate.gov this needs to be brought to the floor. There are more than enough senators and house representatives who despise the orange idiot to follow the rules and tell him and those other sycophants to pound sand.
For example, what if they strategized and ran models to see what would happen if they tried to get this right wing Congress to do this and came to the conclusion that it would fail. Then decided that there was a better plan and dedicated themselves body, mind, and soul to that cause.
No need to run models to know it would fail. We know it would fail. But Dems need to make clear, in an official way, that it's NOT acceptable for criminals to run govt or billionaires to buy it. Nor will we agree to them destroying democracy, law & appointing henchmen for revenge & destruction.
"no" means no person who..."shall" be. (PERIOD)
"But" congress "may" remove that disability. So, can't be unless they vote to remove the restriction. It's required if "he" wants to legitimately hold the office.
I don't believe he can, Republicans are in the majority still. The Speaker of the House has that responsibility, and Republicans are irresponsible. If AOC were speaker right now, you would be mad at her for not doing what she can not do.
Thank you Leader Jeffries! I know you and the rest of the Democrats in Congress will do your very best to save us from the billionaires & greedy corporations who want to take over America 🇺🇸 and take away all our rights, liberties and freedoms! Protect women, minorities and the LGBTQ+ community! 🙏
Attempt to make a deal with a few moderate GOP members and become the next Speaker of the House. Send Jordan and the rest of the @@##$% back where they can do no more damage to America!
You can start by ushering in new, youthful Leadership internally everywhere. The Dino’s don’t have it anymore. Bring in the new blood & let them loose so we can fight under the new rules of engagement. Gentlemen’s Rules are gone. Time for the street brawl. You know this in your heart. We all do.
Jeffries gets paid and a free pass to Elysium whether Dems win or lose. These feckless turds control the primaries and consequently have zero accountability.
I think it’s a mistake to let the right control the narrative and box us in with it. Whatever it takes to keep Musk out… I think that should be on the table. When we are not at the table, we are on the menu
Happy New Year, Rep. Jeffries! I hope you are looking at the bribes being taken by Thomas and Alito and Scalia on the Court. It's breathtakingly corrupt and detested by both sides of the aisle, if you need a bipartisan cause. Everyone hates corruption!
Troubling D's respond to T w the same surprised outrage playbook. Of COURSE many outrageous and dangerous acts. But the message/ vision must be simple, fresh, forward w REAL solutions addressing the problems that give T resonance. Take all the R issues away, leave them w just the racist hate.
The institutions are holding. SCOTUS unanimously agreed on 3/4/2024 that even if he won the 2024 presidential election, donald j. trump is still permanently disqualified from holding office unless his insurrectionist disqualification is removed via the 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress.
The only way to sell the institutions to the highest bidder is to have someone corruptly buy off 2/3 of both houses of Congress and all elected officials in 38 states to amend the U.S. Constitution however they like & remake the U.S. in their image(s). That hasn't happened. Yet. But it could happen.
It's not time to start fighting dirty. It's time to clean house of the people fighting dirty by enforcing and upholding Section 3 of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution on trump/vance and all state electors, governors, and secretaries of state who submitted Electoral College votes for trump.
It's time to remind the American people of the need to reform the SCOTUS & create and enforce an ethics code and term limits for all judges in the United States. It's time to remind the American people about the SCOTUS "Berger Test" that bans judges from acting as personal attorneys in SCOTUS cases
It's time to remind the American people of the SCOTUS dissents in the SCOTUS Anderson case that only agreed that trump/vance could appear on the 2024 ballot, but not hold office, even if they won the election, without the Sec3/14A amnesty vote of both houses of Congress.
This. What happened in 2020-2024 that would convince me this is real? THIS TIME - they MEAN it? COME ON, Garland let Trump walk. Democrats LET Garland let Trump walk.
Certainly the right sentiment. After the results of this election the challenge remains how does the Democratic Party make a compelling value proposition to a plurality of voters across the country?
The people would like the 14th Amendment addressed in Congress. Win or Lose Dems are tired of admitting defeat before trying. Call Glenn Kirchner for advice.
#disqualified
He voted for the latest bill that saw gender-affirming care taken away from dependents of military personnel. Astoundingly non-progressive. For my money, I like Joe Neguse.
Truth be told I’m terrified at what is to come. That being said, it’s time we take off the gloves and FIGHT!! No more going high dammit🤬🤬. We need younger/progressive leadership and not the same “old” status quo… PLEASE🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Good Morning Hakeem!
Hope you are rested, and had a moment to enjoy your family and friends.
Today’s question is WILL CONGRESS STAND UP AGAINST AN INSURRECTIONIST TAKING OFFICE? I don’t know what Congress Members are allowed to say to the General Public
Like when the people chose Bernie to run against Trump but your donors saw him as a threat to their interests so you disregarded the will of the people and ran Hillary instead?
Dems are just the carrot and Republicans are the stick for the 1%.
I have a bee in my bonnet. "Why wasn't Melania included in the documents case? She's an accomplice. That's her residence, and she also had a motive and opportunity.
Thanks for the work you do!!! You have a reach that I don't. Democrats must not let the momentum of the pro-democracy movement slip away. As you've said, Democrats need to develop 3-5 word slogans & repeat them over & over as Trump has been so successful in messaging. They need to start now!!!!
I hope one of those "battles" is giving us healthcare. Worker protections. Stopping the genocide. Maybe preventing corps from destroying the planet and killing us all?
If its none of those we'll just keep assuming you're on the side of capital and not the working class. We haven't seen otherwise 🤷♂️
Legal scholars are telling VP Harris could legally reject certification of Trump’s potential reelection based on 14th Amendnt’s “oathbreaking insurrection” clause. A provision in Section 3 of Constitution bars individuals who have engaged in Insurrection. I.e Jan 6 Capitol
This is completely true. SCOTUS already confirmed it in the Anderson ruling 3/4/2024. SCOTUS made it clear to trump that he couldn't hold office, even if he won the election, unless his insurrectionist disqualification was removed by a 2/3 vote of both houses of Congress prior to, or on, 1/6/2025.
Glad to help! Have you heard of Jessica Denson? She's going at this hard and has some of the best experts on trump's Sec3/14A situation on her show repeatedly.
As President of the Senate, per the SCOTUS Anderson ruling, and their references to Marbury v. Madison, which requires that a person who has a right to hold office must not be denied that right if there's a legal remedy to their disqualification, can VP Harris deny trump/vance the 2/3 amnesty vote?
That’s all fine and good but I’m sure Vice-President Harris probably values her life. I doubt even Secret Service would be able to protect her if she did that.
All Americans "value" their lives too! Remember, Trump's threatening statement that "we're the enemies within"!? Who's going to protect Americans if trump tells the military to go after us. So Harris has to do something legally..
There’s no possible collaboration with fascists that doesn’t make you a fascist, Hakeem.
The ‘art of the possible’ nonsense coming from the wholly-owned subsidiary of the oligarch class, the Big D Ancients, is nothing but thinly-coded collaboration.
You realize that playing along at playing defense is still playing along?
Do you think we can’t see the role Big Ds have chosen?
You may be the oligarchs’ nannies, cajoling us & binding our wounds to get us back to the grind, but your efforts are always in service to your masters.
I hope that means investigating the election results. Or making sure he never steps foot in that White House. He is unfit for the presidency. And everyone in our government, by the people, for the people, know it
You won’t save us. Our government officials won’t save us. It’s up to us. We the people. Sorry Hakeem, but I’m just not feeling like my party is up to the task after what happened to AOC.
Representative Jeffries: I'm not one of your constituents, but I'm a great admirer of your work. Let us work together to 2025 a rebuilding year for America. The Democratic Party must reclaim its place as the working class party. It must also become the party of entrepreneurs.
Hakeem, I hope you truly understand what's at stake in the new year. True power is not in the halls of Congress, it's the people outside it. Once you understand that you'll have a shot of winning not just the battles but the war.
The people are counting on you to represent our true mandate.
Seems like a good way to survive and even kinda fight back could be encouraging and exploiting infighting that's already happening w/in MAGA and Trump supporters, like Musk and Ramaswamy. Get them to figuratively kill each other.
Grow a spine and take the fight to the Rs. Stop shooting yourself in the face every time you have the chance to put a young D in a power position. AOC should have won that position and everyone knows it.
Instead of abandoning progressive principles and running scared to the middle, the Democrats in Congress should stand firm in embracing the policies that will actually differentiate them from the party that throws working Americans under the bus in favor of lining their pockets.
Extreme either left or right is not the solution. Compromise, working together will get us through. Our deficit has exploded, so we should take care of our needs, not our wants.
You want to do something “for the people,” Congressman? Then work to overturn Citizens United, tax the wealthy to protect social programs and buy down our debt, pass true universal healthcare, ratify the ERA, and sponsor legislation restoring a woman’s right to choose. Anything less is lip service.
Honor your oath to protect from enemies foreign and domestic. Remind Biden, Harris and the Generals. Otherwise, we won’t believe you anymore when you say you will fight for us.
DO NOT to certify the sham of an election. He is not eligible to BE president. Everyone who stands by and doesn’t stop this travesty against our constitution will be failing their own oath to protect the constitution. SCOTUS said it’s up to Congress so do something so do it.
You guys are losing us. Trump and his fellow coup plotters were not held accountable for fucking anything. Why are you guys bringing soup spoons to a knife brawl with Republicans? Get your shit together. I am not donating, or making calls, or even voting until you guys show some fucking fight.
The willfully ignorant low information voters failed us. SCOTUS failed us and the RW media failed us. I am afraid white voters only learn via the hot 🔥 stove method.
All that, too, but the leadership Democrats have acted like it is Business as usual. They should have been screaming for results from the DOJ. There was definitely more that could have been done.
I wonder if they thought that if they were screaming at the DOJ they would have actually set the movement back. Screaming doesn't necessarily get what you want, and can alienate people that have to hear it.
We do need to fight fascism, but Hakeem is not Trump; he's on our side.
The Republicans scream all the time and look at where they are. As someone who donated time and money, I feel disappointed. If we feel like the Democrats are cowardly and ineffective, why would we bother to donate at all?
Yeah, I totally get the disappointment. I also get that the fascists yell because they like to. However, we get results by using strategy, and aiming for a larger goal. Reacting to our feelings might hurt our strategy and goals. We shouldn't fight our enemies, but support our allies.
I have MAGA coworkers, they are also angry that Democrats are preventing their agenda. Our system is designed to be slow and frustrating. And sometimes that is a good thing.
If professional losers like this didn’t LOSE SCOTUS, ROE, Voting Rights, and the presidency to a buffoon - TWICE, all while cheerleading Genocide, and without a whiff of M4A, you might have a point.
But alas… you don’t.
I feel the exact same way. I never thought I'd say this but I'm considering me we voting again. What's the point of our side isn't going to fight and hold people accountable.
They have to give us something to fight for. We are all so demoralized and need to see them fighting and being bold. What they have been doing is obviously not working.
I couldn’t agree more. And all the people who disagree are deluded. Sure, this isn’t what we want to do. But it’s what we have to do now. We are fighting for the soul of democracy, of our country. This is the America we are living in now. Sadly, we have to act accordingly or lose forever.
You lost me when you visited Columbus, OH and said (paraphrasing) “We had no idea that there were that many accounts/organizations that were spreading disinformation.” You DID know after 2016 but chose to do NOTHING about it. I have never been so angry at a so called leader. Shame. Shame. Shame 🔔🔔
Impeach and delete Trump's 2025 as our President.
You guys in office allowing a F criminal to just take over?
If there is any dumb people in Congress , it's you Congress for being stupid!
Ignorant doesn't know better but Stupid does and you stick your fingers up your asses ignoring bad behavior 💩
Plse with everything that’s holy, stop him from taking office!! Plse he should not have even been on the ballot!!! Why don’t our laws have teeth? Why is he not in a NY prison!!
