I will be joining @briebriejoy live right now to discuss what working people will need to do after the midterm elections if we are to win anything: addressing the cost of living crisis, end the genocide in Gaza and the war on Iran, or win universal public healthcare.
Join @cmkshama and I for an emergency stream about the leadership “fight” at 6:15 EST: youtube.com/watch?v=EK5ixNAK…

I have come to the conclusion that Hakeem Jeffries is the most serious threat to the progressive agenda in the country, more so than Trump himself, and that any progressive not loudly, actively opposing Jeffries is actively betraying their movement.

If he was going to be the leader we need tomorrow, he would have done his job today.
Hakeem Jeffries cannot lead his party into impeaching Pete Hegseth.
This is how every day will go with him as leader.

I can't get over how everyone suddenly understands how Force the Vote works.
⭕️ 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.

If Ayanna Pressley challenges Hakeem Jeffries for speaker, that would be a hell of a test for the Congressional Black Caucus.

TO EVERY NEW DEMOCRAT ELECTED IN THE HOUSE:
TELL ME SPECIFICALLY WHICH DEMS ARE THREATENING YOU TO FALL IN LINE.
IF THEY MAKE YOUR LIFE HELL, MYSELF AND ALL LEFT-WING MEDIA WILL MAKE THEIR LIVES HELL. REACH OUT.
Incoming Rep. Don Leonard says top House Democrats have threatened to “make [his] life a living hell” and cost him re-election if he continues attaching conditions to his support for Hakeem Jeffries for speaker.
His conditions: 1) a vote on an amendment to end Citizens United and 2) “end U.S. support for the war in Iran and the country, Israel, that led us into it.”
He says Jeffries is refusing to meet with him and the threats are like something “out of a movie.”

This was AOC’s logic in her white board explainer and it completely ignores that she is a player in this drama and not a helpless bystander.
“We can’t challenge Jeffries because nobody is challenging Jeffries” is the kind of circular logic that drives people insane

I really, really do not understand why people just fall in line behind someone with terrible values who cannot possibly be a successful spokesperson for the party and will actively try to thwart every gain by the progressive wing. It makes no sense and they never explain it.

damn shame how these white boys are going after Hakeem Jeffries.
Clearly it is a coordinate smear campaign funded by the whites of DSA, which these white boys in this video are clearly spokespeople for

How can the human conscience bear witness to the heart-rending spectacle of such agonizing suffering endured by the innocent children of Gaza and yet remain silent?
How can those who profess a commitment to human values avert their gaze from these harrowing scenes?
Where are the self-proclaimed preachers of human rights, who ought to emerge from their shell of political expediency, amplify the voices of the oppressed in Gaza before the world, and hold the perpetrators to account?
This is nothing less than the inevitable consequence of appeasement in the face of genocide.

Called it! Hakeem Jeffries is claiming if you don’t support him for speaker you’re racist! I’m black Hakeem. And I don’t support you for speaker because you support genocide and apartheid just like your buddy Jared Kushner.
CNN: Hakeem Jeffries responds to DSA supporters who chanted "You're next!" at victory party
"It was very interesting to me, as observed by others, that there was almost zero diversity in that crowd."

Yes. He’s corrupt.
I don’t give a shit about his skin color, gender, who gets in bed with, etc., etc.
He has taken millions from the Israel lobby and is playing footsie with Jared Kushner. Americans deserve better.

They're about to give the "I've Had it Podcast" the "Hasan-Piker-Streisand-Effect"
They're about to blow up Jennfier Welch and turn her into the most unstoppable Woke White Woman in the nation.
Please, please continue. ROFL

Who funds you runs you.
If the Dems don't replace Jeffries and Schumer as leaders, cancel the celebration.
NEW: Meet incoming speaker Hakeem Jeffries’ donors: Anduril and Palantir executives, Wall Street investors, crypto lobbyists, and donors funneling contributions through AIPAC.
