JEFFRIES on this letter:
“The White House has been used to a Republican Congress that's been nothing more than a reckless rubber stamp for Donald Trump's extreme agenda. A Democratic Congress is going to be a check and balance on an out-of-control executive branch in the face of unprecedented corruption that they've unleashed on the American people. And if they don't like it, consult the Constitution.”
🚨BREAKING NEWS in @PunchbowlNews AM
The White House counsel warned Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the incoming House Oversight Committee chair, in a new letter that some of the new majority’s investigations could cross the line into criminal behavior.
It’s an audacious claim that signals the White House is taking an aggressive — and hugely controversial — stance toward Democratic oversight in the 120th Congress.
The letter, penned by White House counsel Will Scharf, says that Congress can only investigate matters for a legislative purpose — a position that Republicans have relied on and stretched in recent years.
Further, the Scharf letter, sent to Garcia on Monday, says that Democratic investigations are designed to “harass and aggrandize rather than to advance any legitimate legislative end.”

.@RepBrendanBoyle: I am an enthusiastic yes vote on Hakeem Jeffries for Speaker. I have worked very closely with him in my current position as ranking member of the House Budget Committee. He has done a remarkable job.
We would not be in the position that we’re in now, about to swear in 260 House Democrats, if not for key decisions that he made to stand up and fight this administration — especially when it came to the shutdown, which was a hell of a risk that Hakeem and House Democrats took.
We were vindicated. That was the moment we started to take our first lead. Hakeem has done an excellent job as leader, and I will proudly vote for him for Speaker.
"This is not the end of it. It's just the beginning," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, a New York Democrat, said following the vote.

⬇️⬇️Republicans would have just kept it open until more of their members came than ours. Just as they have done throughout their cursed rubber stamp majority. Real accountability will come in January regardless.

Now that Soto has officially won his reelection race, we can say Jeffries was spot on with this bold election night prediction

House Democrats have won 258 seats and counting.
This is the largest majority that any party has had this century.
News of our demise was greatly exaggerated.

All these people are heroes but extra respect for folks like Soto & Davis & Gonzalez who faced very hostile gerrymanders and stood their ground to run and win rather than slinking away from the fight.

.@Lawrence: No Democratic leader of the House has ever had to face what Hakeem Jeffries had to face when Donald Trump decided to do redistricting halfway through the constitutionally mandated census periods.
There is nothing more complicated in American politics than trying to mastermind House congressional elections, even without redistricting.
Hakeem Jeffries coordinated the Democratic Party's response across the country to Donald Trump's redistricting, and the Democrats won almost all of the seats that Donald Trump tried to take away from them through redistricting.

Leader @HakeemJeffries: I’m a hard yes on impeaching Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth has abused his power, undermined America’s national security and is the architect of the reckless and costly failed war of choice in Iran — which has skyrocketed gas prices on everyday Americans and made the country less safe.
Iran is stronger now than they were before Operation Epic Failure led by Pete Hegseth began.

Hakeem Jeffries helped Democrats to victories in the midterms by staying on message—but he didn’t do it alone, @michaelscherer and @AshleyRParker report.

Rep. Dingell: Hakeem Jeffries is the man who oversaw one of the largest Democratic majorities we have seen in the House of Representatives in history.
So I'm kind of getting tired of everybody saying, ‘Is he up for it?’ Yes, he just delivered a very significant majority.
I think he's more than up for this job.

The internet sincerely just wants to be mad about something because in what world has Hakeem Jeffries done anything but a bang up job since taking over as Leader, both in the caucus and politically?

Pete Hegseth has got to go.”
