No.
Hakeem Jeffries, the New York Democrat, is the Most Powerful Democrat in Washington. He never did much to oppose Trump's policies, and I never saw him on the national stage denouncing Trump or his policies. Is He Up to the Job?

SCHUMER, READ THE F**KING ROOM. After two years of chaos, cruelty, corruption, and economic hardship, Americans demanded change. Not more blank checks for Israel. This election was NOT your personal victory. Consider this a warning: Our tax dollars belong to the American people. If you ignore that demand, expect peaceful protests, public pressure, and voters holding you accountable. If you refuse to listen, we will primary you and every elected official who stands with you, with candidates who WILL put the American people first. WE ARE NOT GOING BACK TO BUSINESS AS USUAL.
SCHUMER: “I have many jobs as majority leader... and one is to fight for aid to Israel! All the aid that Israel needs, I will continue to fight for it!” “We delivered more security assistance to Israel our ally under my leadership than ever, ever before. We will keep doing that...” “I will always fight to give Israel what it needs...” This was earlier this year at a Jewish Community Relations Council event in NYC:

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Congresswoman Elaine Luria, who is one of the most reserved and moderate members of Congress, just made clear that Pete Hegseth is not going to be the Secretary of Defense for much longer. This is amazing.

"I don’t want Jared Kushner to be investigated because he’s the president’s son-in-law. I want him investigated because he’s potentially laundered and embezzled $2 billion dollars in funds from the governments of Saudi Arabia and the UAE. I don’t want Stephen Miller investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who’s at the center of the Trump brain trust. I want him investigated because he’s a racist ghoul who has violated the due-process rights of millions of people and, potentially, directly violated court orders. I don’t want Pete Hegseth investigated because he’s a toxic psychopath who is unqualified to lead America’s military forces. I want him investigated because he’s a fucking murderer who needs to spend the rest of his life in jail, either in this country or The Hague." thenation.com/article/politi…

🚨 JUDGE TO TRUMP: YOUR EGO DOESN’T OVERRIDE THE LAW. Trump's grand vision of building a massive 250-foot triumphal arch near Arlington National Cemetery just hit another legal roadblock. A federal judge has ordered a 14-day halt to construction, questioning the administration's legal authority to move forward. Apparently, even monuments to yourself have to follow the law. America needs leadership, not another oversized tribute to one man's ego. 🇺🇸

Elected officials answer to VOTERS…not billionaires, corporations, or wealthy donors. Sen. Jon Ossoff is calling for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. “We The People” must demand it. OUR DEMOCRACY IS NOT FOR SALE.

Chuck Schumer: “Our enemy is not each other, our enemy is Donald Trump.” My take: Behind the scenes he’s probably indicating to new senators like Abdul El-Sayed that they can say whatever they need to about him to keep their base happy—even vote against him. Some may genuinely oppose him, but he already has the Caucus votes locked up. He helped most of them win with money and support. They know it. The public attacks won’t change a thing.

BREAKING: HELL YES! Republican Rep. Thomas Massie will force a vote next week on a bill to finally release the Epstein files in full — and he's confident it will pass. The truth will finally be dragged into the light... “When we return next week, we’ll get 218 signatures for Epstein Files Transparency Act II, which guarantees a vote,” Massie wrote. “Survivors will be able to get their own records, State Attorneys General can prosecute crimes, and we can take the DOJ [Department of Justice] to court for keeping critical files hidden.” Rep. Ro Khanna, who co-sponsored the original Epstein Transparency Act with Massie, is calling the new bill the “Epstein 2.0 Act,” and it's aimed at ending the coverup that the Trump administration scrambled to carry out in the wake of the first bill. It will force full compliance with the original disclosure law. We know that Trump is deeply implicated in these files and we also have good reason to believe that powerful, influential men involved in Epstein's crimes have had their names improperly redacted. It's time for them to be held accountable for the horrors that they inflicted on innocent children. Before the blue tsunami hit this week, Republicans had an incentive to side with Trump and shield the files. Now that he has been thoroughly rejected by the American people and MAGA has collapsed in the dustbin of history, they have an incentive to break from him. Their pathetic political futures depend upon it, in fact. Please ❤️ and share if you support full transparency on the Epstein files!
