Ro Khanna: "I believe that Chuck Schumer needs to go. The idea that you're going to have Chuck Schumer lead the party, I mean, come on! The guy was a cheerleader for the war in Iraq. You know, he's part of the system that has been compromised."

This is so helpful! Now it's clear to me why @RepJeffries and @SenSchumer are simply entitled to their Speaker & Leader positions. It just makes so much sense! How could I have questioned?

Reminder that in April 2024, Hakeem Jeffries voted against requiring warrants to search our private communications collected under FISA Section 702. Had he voted yes it would have passed 213–211.
He also voted against cutting military aid to Israel just 4 months ago. Was what happened on Tues a cry for that kind of leadership?
NEW: House Dems "inundated" w/ calls & emails urging them not to elect Jeffries speaker
One member told @axios they got "300-400" calls in 2 days
Another said "over 500"
A third said "higher" than 500: "It's our No. 1 issue, and it's not close." axios.com/2026/11/06/jeffrie…

The calls—coming from inside and outside of Congress—cite a lack of vision, an unwillingness to go after Trump, the continued acceptance of corporate PAC money, and an extreme deference to the Israeli government. mrf.lu/2_qc3
All of our politicians are burnt this country will never progress forward with leeches holding us back

Zohran Mamdani was right.
AIPAC is not the Jewish community. Israel is not the Jewish people.
Criticizing AIPAC, or the Israeli government does not automatically make someone antisemitic or a hater of Jews.
The claim by Israel and lobbying groups like AIPAC that they speak for all Jews is increasingly being challenged, including by Jewish Americans themselves.
A reported 66% of Jewish Americans say AIPAC's multimillion-dollar spending against Israel critics fuels antisemitism.
Judaism is not Zionism. AIPAC lobbying is not Jewish representation.

Hakeem Jeffries is… obsessed with Israel?
Democratic voters have shifted on Israel and more Americans now sympathize with Palestinians than ever before. What will it mean for the U.S. if the potential next Speaker of the House is THIS out of step with voters?

DEMOCRATS MUST DELIVER
Trumpism grew out of the failure of the Democratic Party to stand with working families. That cannot continue. At a time of unprecedented income and wealth inequality and declining faith in democracy, Democrats MUST deliver. No excuses.
- Medicare for All
- A $20-an-hour minimum wage
- The PRO Act
- A wealth tax on billionaires, which would pay for universal childcare, free public colleges and universities, and a massive housing program
- An AI data center moratorium
- Bringing ICE under control and comprehensive immigration reform
- REAL campaign finance reform

“One of the most important things I do will be to be The Guardian of Israel.”

Yes, Democrats are choosing leaders with LOWER favorability than Trump:
🔴 DONALD TRUMP = 38.5
🔵 HAKEEM JEFFRIES = 28.0
🔵 CHUCK SCHUMER = 24.7
Lmao what a scumbag
NEW: Chuck Schumer is preparing to lead the Senate with a network of former aides lobbying for private equity—including two former policy chiefs and his top health adviser. Their clients include Blackstone, Apollo, and the industry’s top trade group. readsludge.com/2026/11/06/th…
