Hi Neera, why do you lie so much?
1. I tweet about/attack you?? Just a couple of days ago, you, unprovoked, came to dunk/quote-tweet on me when I wasn't talking to you, or tweeting at you, and kicked off a long back and forth that you didn't let go. You have retweeted people in the past 72 hours calling me a racist and a misogynist. But only I'm attacking you?? Why do you lie so much?

2. I tried not to tweet at you at all after our Al Jazeera interview, and said nothing, but you tweeted at me incessantly, demanding I respond to you and debate you. So I did. Now you play the victim. Why do you lie so much?
3. 300 tweets? Lol. I know you and Matt Yglesias hate me counting tweets, but anyone can use Twitter search to see that in the past week you've tweeted about me as much, if not more, than I've tweeted about you. Why do you lie so much?

4. Block me? I didn't tweet at you or tag you or even mention you in the tweet below; I was responding to a clip, to the substance of the clip. You searched for yourself and came looking for a fight and to play the victim. Why do you lie so much?
5. Isn't this really all deflection? From the question I have asked you six times - where is the tweet that you claimed to have posted on the day of the llhan Omar house raid in which you claim you condemned it as "outrageous"? - and that you got caught lying? Why do you lie so much?

6. Per you logic, shouldn't @hasanthehun take out a restraining order against you on this platform?
I swear to god this mf thinks he's blue mike johnson
I asked Hakeem Jeffries about attendance appearing decisive in the Pete Hegseth vote. (11 House Dems did not vote tonight.)
He told me and reporters: "I haven't had a conversation with anyone on the floor team about what may or may not have happened in terms of the Hegseth resolution, but this is not the end of it. It's just the beginning."

How exactly does a house rep get "denied the ability to vote"? That's a hefty allegation.
I helped introduce articles of impeachment to remove the deeply unqualified and dangerous Pete Hegseth since April. Tonight I was denied the ability to vote on this motion while Mike Johnson worked overtime to shield him from accountability.
Next year House Democrats will impeach Hegseth and neither Johnson nor Trump will be able to stop us.

I think the freshmen need to understand that if they actually tell us who is doing this we WILL vote them out.
Senior Dems will make life ‘hell’ without Jeffries vote, freshman rep says politi.co/3WAWpOV

In case you didn't watch Massie read out the articles; this is just 3 of 8 things he's being impeached over. Curious how Nancy Mace has nothing to say about those
Vote on Hegseth impeachment is at 5:30pm today - I will not be voting to impeach.
The Iran war is through no fault of his own and he should not be the one scapegoated for it.
I fully support the changes Hegseth has made to the DoW to make our fighting force the very best it can be.

⭕️ It would take just ~43 House Democrats to keep Hakeem Jeffries from becoming speaker. The Congressional Progressive Caucus alone expects more than 100 members in January.
🔹Its chair, Rep. Greg Casar (D-Texas), co-sponsored Rep. Rashida Tlaib's November 2025 resolution "recognizing the genocide of the Palestinian people in Gaza." Now he says he expects to "deliver the votes" for Jeffries. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), another co-sponsor, told MS NOW on Monday that Jeffries will have the caucus's unanimous support, calling his expected rise a "pretty historic moment." In all, 22 House Democrats backed the genocide resolution and well over 40 have described Israel’s actions as genocide.
🔹Jeffries has been one of the strongest supporters of Israel’s military response in Gaza. He opposed a July bid to cut off US military aid to Israel, saying it would "restrict our country's ability to confront Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in the region." His promised "reset" wouldn't touch aid until the current 10-year deal expires in 2028.
🔹The math: Speaker needs 218 votes cast for a person by name on Jan 3, 2027. With roughly 260 Democrats, if 43 commit to naming someone else and every Republican votes against Jeffries, he falls short.
🔹It's been done before. In January 2023, about 20 Republicans withheld their votes from Rep. Kevin McCarthy through 15 rounds of voting. He won only after major concessions, including a rule letting any single member force a vote to remove the speaker, which Rep. Matt Gaetz used to oust him nine months later.
🔗 Drop Site's Julian Andreone asked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), another co-sponsor of the genocide resolution who backs Jeffries, whether progressives could use that kind of leverage.
Drop Site’s @JulianAndreone pressed Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez (D-NY) on her supporting Hakeem Jeffries’ bid for Speaker of the House.
Jeffries has explicitly said he does not support Medicare for All, has routinely supported sending aid to Israel, even throughout the genocide in Gaza, and has yet to commit to blocking any and all funding to continue the war in Iran.
Ocasio-Cortez said progressives will seek to secure concessions on these key policy differences but that she believes the margin is too large to contest his speakership without a challenger.
