@NathanJRobinson@Michell33650674 He’s part of the dialed-into Tel Aviv past that has destroyed our country for the American people.
We need to make him part of our past politically. Traitors to their country have no place in our future.
@SJH71287858 Maybe not her. But 11? That's too big of a coincidence. This was an extremely important vote. Much more important than any other event. They should have been there hours early. I would have been.

Congress has been out of session for 148 days this year. Taxpayer-funded time off to fundraise and live lavishly on donor money. And THESE ELEVEN couldn’t even be bothered to show up for one of the most important votes of the year, if not THE MOST IMPORTANT!
Democratic voters just stood in line for hours and delivered a BLUE TSUNAMI. We SHOWED UP and did our part! The very least OUR generously compensated elected representatives could do is show up and do THEIRS!
This kind of arrogance and disregard for the people they were elected to represent is a slap in the face and a betrayal of the voters who put them in office. We’re not putting up with this shit anymore.

Tonight the House voted 211-204 to shelve Hegseth's impeachment.
And 11 Democrats didn’t show up to vote.
They would have made the difference. And made America one step closer to safer and more secure. But on the night before Veterans Day, they were AWOL.
Here they are.
Democrats, not a good start here.
Get your shit together. Fast.

Shameful that 11 House Democrats missed the vote on Pete Hegseth’s impeachment resolution. Hakeem Jeffries promises accountability in January, but if he can’t get his caucus to show up now, why trust him to deliver when Democrats take power? Winning means nothing without leadership.

What happened last night regarding the impeachment vote on Pete Hegseth was deeply embarrassing.
Eleven House Democrats missed the vote. If they had been there, Hegseth would be impeached right now.
I’m not worried about impeachment itself. That will come in January.
I’m worried about the message this sends to the American people only a week after a seismic mandate was handed to the Democratic Party to get shit done.
I don’t care why these Members were absent or if this was some lowkey procedural strategy.
What I care about is the messaging, and at the moment, the narrative is: “Democrats said they want Hegseth gone, but can’t be bothered to show up to vote for it.”
That is not good.
All it would have taken is a simple message from House leaders: “We want Hegseth gone, but don’t trust current GOP leadership on this matter. We look forward to holding him accountable in January with the new Congress.”
Dem leaders really need to get it together on messaging. Immediately.

I may have to rethink my support of Hakeem Jeffries after the Hegseth impeachment vote. Eleven Democrats do not show up? All Republicans vote it down. Pete Hegseth is laughing at you and is stronger today. Shame. A slap in the face of the military and veterans on this important day.

We just secured historic wins and have the momentum on our side, and the first thing they do is not even show up for an important vote?
This is exactly why people are pissed off with our leaders.
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.

The vote to impeach Sec War Hegseth fell short by 7 votes.
11 House Democrats (including Nancy Pelosi) did not show up for the floor vote, handing Republicans the exact margin needed to shelve the impeachment resolution.
How could @hakeemjeffries let this happen????????

To be honest, the fact that 11 Democrats didn't show up to vote on the Sec. of Alcohol's impeachment was, shall we say, a bit discouraging. Not a good look; not a good start.
